Sunday Sketch

Been busy working out a rather large oil painting. Meanwhile, a sunday sketch!

Trying out palette knife-like brush settings in Photoshop. Painted from reference:

Quick One

Just quickly for practice:

Some Whiskey Bottles

Here's another, in warm light instead. Getting the hang of mixing oil colors, going to work on drawing and expression next.

Lookbook Painting

Started putting together a lookbook for O+B. Here's the first look:

Doodles

From recent drawing breaks:

Worked a bit on an old sketch, but ran out of steam before I could finish.
