I can’t believe how much time has past since I deeply focus on painting itself. Only when I look back I can see my art progress along these years. In 2017 when I just started I had no idea what my path would be, but now when I look at my folders I have betterContinueContinue reading “Art progress in 4 years”

Oil painting hot chocolate with marshmallows
I love chocolate. My mom loves hot chocolate. I can’t recall when she began to fall in love with this drink but the result is whenever we made a family order, it has to have hot chocolate. When we are at home she loves to drink Swiss Miss Dark Chocolate. Every time we went toContinueContinue reading “Oil painting hot chocolate with marshmallows”
My first self portrait ever
It’s already February. (꒪Д꒪)ノ In order to enter a face theme art contest at Cameback Gallery, I did my first ever self portrait based on a selfie. I’m not a selfie person. My photo album is saturated with my kids daily snap shots. But on that day when I looked through my photos, I foundContinueContinue reading “My first self portrait ever”
First experiment on DIY 3D liner using oil paint/medium
One day I wanted to paint like stained glass with 3D liner. Actually, I’ve tried glass painting in my college days. But I don’t want to purchase whole set of glass painting gear at this point. I wanted to try using what I have on hand, oil paint and medium. Well, the painting part wasContinueContinue reading “First experiment on DIY 3D liner using oil paint/medium”
I find my old art works in my computer
I’ve changed several laptops/computers along these years. Every time I change a new one I left some old art works in the previous one. Of course I back up all the files in a separate drive but I don’t need to fill the new computer with bunch of older documents that I didn’t even lookContinueContinue reading “I find my old art works in my computer”
Oil painting pet portrait for my cat
It has been over 3 months since Naomi came to our home. I finally did an oil painting pet portrait for her. It is not a smooth adapting process if I would say, but I’m glad that at least I keep my calm and try to solve problem one at a time. First, I spentContinueContinue reading “Oil painting pet portrait for my cat”
How can i paint a jumping spider “Cute”
One day I caught up a video on YouTube called “Lucas the spider”. I was really interested in this concept. And Lucas the spider just “cute”, especially the voice. To be honest, I can’t deal with insects. I’m OK with butterfly (not caterpillar stage) and bees as long as they don’t bother me. But moreContinueContinue reading “How can i paint a jumping spider “Cute””
Abstract painting study
Abstract painting for the first day of new year~! Actually this is not my very first abstract painting study. I painted one like heart shape. This time I wanted to try something rustic. The reference photo I use for this study was texture of metal rust. Well for me it was the most “abstract” pictureContinueContinue reading “Abstract painting study”
Palette knife painting studies
Finally, 2020 is done. Although this year is tough, I am glad that I was able to try new painting methods/subjects. Palette knife painting was one of them. The first piece I tried was “Pathway to lighthouse”. Palette knife practice #1 I put the base color layer by palette knife only. And then I wentContinueContinue reading “Palette knife painting studies”
Oil painting Night watcher black panther
Initial thoughts Years ago I purchased some reference photos from Jason Morgan’s website. There is one black panther photo I really like. But it takes me almost 2 years to finally have the confidence to actually paint it. When I look at the photo, I have this scene in my mind. A beautiful big blackContinueContinue reading “Oil painting Night watcher black panther”
