Today’s Brian’s birthday and I have been working on this painting for a while. By a “while” I mean that I started it a couple months ago and slowly added pieces to it over time. It was fun. The original actually had a bunch of animals with their heads sticking out from the sides and staring at the viewer, but I decided against that and went with this.

Let me give some more pictures of some details. The background is a mix of blues, blacks, silvers, greens, magenta, and little bits of white. The bear also has a 6 o-clock shadow.

This next one is of a “flower” I started sometime earlier this year. I’m going to take a wild guess and say sometime in May. This was the painting where I used the magenta and gold colors from my last post.

As you can tell, I’m not that great with backgrounds. I do like mixing in lots of colors and fake textures though. That’s fun enough for me!

And I think that’s it for today. Next time I’ll post drawings or something not painting related.

Yes, I have some draft posts that have been sitting in idle mode for a while and I don’t know when I plan on posting them. Maybe when I get around to editing them and judge them not embarrassing I’ll rethink what happens to them.

Anyways, I’m going to start [to try] to post works in progress and photos not worthy of Facebook.

Let’s start with this one. I got some awesome acrylic paints the other day… week… month… earlier this year. I don’t normally get non-prime colors since I believe you could save money just by getting the basic five: blue, yellow, red, black and white. But I found some amazing colors I don’t think I’m cool enough to make or can’t, such as the metallic ones and this crazy fuchsia/magenta here that I mixed in with some gold pigment.

And the consistency is so nice! Buying the non-basic colors was a [personal] rebellious move that I don’t regret. I’ll do it again because these are great and I find myself using them more often than the normal boring ones when I can!
