Finished

I feel like I’m at a conclusion to this painting. It’s not the sexy way to say it but I just feel done. It doesn’t feel inevitable but done.✅

Sometimes finishing a painting is hard because I can’t see how it ends. I almost always see how it ends before it starts. Sometimes you are a pebble in the ocean, moving and dancing underneath the sea. The next end is a rolling beginning.

Enjoy galeras.

Weekend catchup

Hola galeras,

Been a long week. Not bad but not busy enough. I feel tired but so many plans to do.

This weeks videos are of my new painting and a hot take of. Ai art. Enjoy.

Also my weekly art video.

I picked up a few fun art things this week also.

Tom says “hola galeras.”

Have a nice weekend Galeras.

Painter out,

Ink wash lessons

Hola Galeras,

A good ink wash is unpredictable but not unpleasant. You have to be willing to wait and see as it dries. It sometimes looks like a lot but isn’t much at all.

How ink washes dry can go a few ways. Super dark, almost invisible and just right. It’s all controlled by layering. You gotta just go for it.

The edges are often a good marker for how the rest will come out when it dries.

Layers…

Figure out if you’re heavy handed like me. It comes with practice.

Making

Some might call this trouble

The price of progress and artist intentions.

Week end catch up

Hola Galeras,

I made a few videos .

So I am finishing this book. It’s my third sketchbook in a year. Feels nice to play with ideas that don’t have to be a big thing.

One page left.

Abstracts

I found my peace in the middle of the night. Deep makings in the sleeping world. My peace made of quiet.

Good morning

Hola galeras,

Mochi says “hi”.

I’m going to see my Dad today but I wanted to give you the week end roundup.

A nice live show.

Working on the fine details shorts.

The hearts called out to me.

I’ve had a hard time in the last few years sharing my paintings online. I do it with my Patrons but I don’t feel like I owe it to the internet anymore. I love showing people in real life. Gotta do more shows.

Here is an abstract satiate.

Next week we do it again.
