my little baby goat 💕 I’ve always wanted to do a painting like this but never got around to it, but it fits with the theme in my show so I finally started it! I’m going to be painting this on a 16x20 inch panel, and I found the most beautiful frames for them too! . . . . #artistoninsta #oilpainting#conceptkstetch#drawing#illustration#whitecharcoal#portraitartist#babygoat#tradtionalart#traditionalartist #carveouttimeforart #supportlocalartists #artexhibition #oilpainter#babyanimals#portraitpainter
I felt like doing a #valuestudy would be beneficial for my next few pieces since they are a series, and I want to make sure they look good together! This is gouache on canvas. I’ve also been reading a TON of art history books 😅 and that’s what a majority of my favorite artists did before their pieces! I have about 6-7 art books checked out from 2 different libraries 💕 and I don’t plan on stopping 😂 . . . . #artistoninstagram #conceptsketch#colorstudy#sketching#skecthes#oilpainting#gouache#portraitartist#portraitpainting#blackandwhite#traditionalart #contemporaryartwork #fineartpainting #fineartist
First layer done ✅ She’s looking a little green because of the imprimatura, but she’ll look normal after a couple more layers of paint 💕 One piece down, two more to go! And I really can’t wait to show the frames I got for them 🥰 . . . . #artistoninsta #underpainting#imprimatura #portraitartist#oilpainting#portraitpainting#orchids #wip#artist#oilpaint#painter#supportlocalartists #artiststudio #artistoninsta #ontheeasel
