Today I decided to do some more painting because I felt motivated enough to do it. I liked the texture created by the paint on the painting I did yesterday, so I tried to continue with that. I used my brush to create an interesting texture in the background. I saw a painting similar to what I ended up painting the other day and I wanted to try something like it. I didn’t reference it, but just remembered some of its elements that I enjoyed. Tomorrow I’ll take a better photo of the finished painting with better lighting. I also tried out my new watercolor paint set. I’m not the best at watercolor, so this was just to try it out a bit, but I hope to improve!

A few weeks ago I decided that I wanted to paint a portrait. I started by blocking in the basic colors I wanted to use, but then I didn’t like how it looked so I stopped working on it. This is as far as I got. Today I decided to revisit it and actually try to complete it. I tried to do realistic shading, but I started to struggle with it so I decided to just forget about realistic shading. So here’s some more progress shots. And here’s my ‘final’ product. I may go back and work on it more, but I’m satisfied with it at the moment. I’m not used to doing portraits and I didn’t use any references for this painting, but I tried my best. Tomorrow during the day I’m going to take better photos of it outside, but here’s a photo I just took.
