New painting Sneak Peek and work in progress shots

Oils 20x24

Inspired by a peaceful section of beach I have visited several times over the past few years.

I worked on this and Ophidian simultaneously, which is why they have very similar color schemes.    I am using layers of transparent color glazing as a technique.  So far, I like the effect!  I am going  to try to have this one finished before Atlanta Comic Con.  More updates soon!

Beyond the Grave 2nd annual art show Sneak Peak #2

16x20 oils on wood

Almost finished!  I am trying different mediums with this piece, and have been mixing linseed oil with turpentine and Damaar varnish.  So far, I like how this layering effect gives depth to the image.  I think I’m going to try using sun thickened linseed oil, instead of cold pressed, in this mixture to even out the sheen.

I have also been using a heat lamp to speed up the drying process and mixing all of my paints with an alkyd solution.

Thanks again to everyone that helped me with product recommendations!
