IN LOVE with this still life from class last night. It’s my very own tea set that I bought from a garage sale. I loved seeing everyone’s iterations of it.

Just look how good they did! 😍

More progress on this commission! I’m posting in segments because it’s so large and will require some layers.

At this stage I am putting in major color blocking and figuring out my tones. So far I’m loving the color and the textures 🤤

Next step is to add details.

Some people like the natural texture of canvasses, I don’t 🤷🏻‍♀️. Here is how I prep my canvases to get a more interesting texture.

If I’ve learned anything over my years of painting it’s that you do not rush the set up.

The more careful and thoughtful my underpainting is, the easier it comes together once I add color.

In this stage of the painting I am setting up the composition, designing light patterns and blocking in major values.

This painting is a commission from my mother in law who has had this idea in her head for years. Wish me luck as I bring it to life for her!

I had a kind of ✨awakening ✨ when I watched this movie for the first time as a kid. To this day I’m still a huge Bowie fan.

Trying to decide how much more I want to do on this and trying hard not to overwork it. But I am still not happy with the ground cover.

This is a painting of my two little girls exploring on a little excursion we went on.

The first of a new series of classes that will be available ! Keep your eyes out for Bluebird Academia classes where we explore real principles of art.

In this class we learned about the value scale and parts of shadow. The class sold out! It was interactive and such a good time.

Bring your friends and come try out a class sometime.
