Diary of a Painter

This is the first week painting my new still life, “From The Fountain Of Youth”.

I am setting up a new still life called, “From The Fountain Of Youth”. I talk about how I construct a still life set up and the “seeing” tools that I use to help me see the composition.

I continue progress with my painting, “I’m Like Icarus But I Know How To Swim”. This week I work on the background and start to bring out the wing that is behind the figure which is sinking into the ocean.

This week I work more on the portrait but what really made my week great was working on the hair. I love how it is looking! I am really excited for next week as I will be working on the foreground and background.

I had a great week painting “I’m Like Icarus But I Know How To Swim”. In this video I explain what I’m doing and film the painting process through out the week.
