  • Jack o’ lantern Day Four

    Day four. I’m starting to regret choosing these panels for this project. They are very slick and going over areas pulls up more paint than it puts down. I feel like there is a trick I’m missing with these thing. I am considering trying different paint to see if that’s the problem. It’s been a…

  • Painting #25

    This one was like pulling teeth. I wiped the first painting and painted over it. I’m not really digging my brushes right now. I need to find brushes I can control better, or practice more.
