Season 2 is done! After looking at these all together, I am so happy with how my progression has been coming along.

The last one of season 2! For this one, I swapped out some nylon brushes with natural bristle brushes to help me get better texture for the little bushes in the front.

I thought I would’ve loved doing this one, but I really struggled.

I made the mistake this time on blocking out the entire scene instead of just lightly outlining where things go…it messed up my usual progression.

I’m starting to see that with every bad painting session, I follow up with an amazing one.

I had a real hard time with this one.

Looks like a postcard scene!

I put a little bit more trust in myself with this one and let my artist eye lead the way.

I’m starting to get a better grasp at foreground/background work.

I was afraid I was going to be bored with this one because it’s just black and white, but honestly, I think I needed this exercise.

For New Year’s Eve, I decided to have a cozy night in and paint with Bob.

I’m back to acrylics on this one, and this one was tough!

I switched to oils and I HATTTTEEEE it.
