Paul. Oil on linen, 20x14” (52x35cm) I’m attending a great portrait painting course by Michael Siegel and this was a first assignment after two lessons. Not quite Rembrandt impasto dabs it should be #oilpainting #oilpaintings #oiloncanvas #portrait #portraitpainting #painting

In search of perfect green I have miserably failed, but things are getting better. Oil on linen, 14x19” (~35x47cm), two sessions #oilpainting #oilpaintings #landscape #landscapepainting #paintings #painting #paintinglandscape #forest #forestpainting

On a search for that tone, a small Stratocaster upgrade. Default pickups on pro series have never been what I was looking for, so it’s time for small soldering

Varnishing day. If only you could see how changes the colours and perception of the painting after it has been varnished. Its like wiping the dust off. #oilpainting #oilpaintings #oiloncanvas #painting #paintings #portrait #portraitpainting #landscape #landscapepainting

Gesture drawing, 6 minute (more or less) poses, lecture notes and a homework. This does need more practice, but it is very a fun and useful and exercise. #drawing #drawings #gesture #gesturedrawing #figuredrawing
