Trying to let brushstrokes speak for themselves more with more wild brushes and a loose leash feels like trying to find the order in the chaos. I can't say I dislike where it's heading though.

(This also is a cheeky WIP crop of a deadline piece~)

Been painting lots, but rather than wait to share more polished WIP with you, I wanted to share the "unglamorous" side of making art. Sometimes you have nothing but raw silhouettes, scraggly skeletons of trees, or a mess of brushstrokes. But it's ok! It's part of creating. 🎨🖌️

Dean Cornwell:

I LOVE this! The oils are juicy, the mark-making is wickedly confident & the color is GORGEOUS! I wanted to touch this painting, it’s so tactile to look at (🤫 no I didn’t touch it bc I’m good but still…those brushstrokes are genius)

This Jack Kirby / Vince Colletta page from Spirit World recently went for sale at auction, and I can't wrap my head around this being Vinny's inks. Especially that first panel, but then many of the brushstrokes in the man's face, etc. What's your thoughts, Comic Art Twitter?

my new style of coloring isn't really working out for pieces with backgrounds (especially for illustrations with a shallow depth of field - field blurs dont really work well with brush strokes aaaa)

i guess I'll reserve the brushstroke-heavy style for portraits for now 😂

Radiant light streaks from behind the clouds in this dramatic cloudscape. Abstract shapes create a rhythm within the painting, while the impasto brushstrokes capture the energy and motion of the outdoors.

Enjoyed every minute creating this piece! I love the use of shapes and lines combined with a flurry of wild brushstrokes and splashes.

the brushstrokes are a little crude, but I can always refine later or draw it again :D it's UV, a new space dragon who consumes stellar remnants (and sometimes stars in the process) to power wormhole induction.

The rough brushstrokes that make up the background allow attention to be directed to the birds and their minuscule riders.

Rembrandt (1647) created the tenebrous Landscape with the Rest on the Flight into Egypt. His ability to tell a story, striking use of light & uncanny ability to depict objects in small brushstrokes is clear. You can even identify the species of oak beside the Holy Family.

I kept on painting, my pen fluttering through this piece, and then Fluttershy happened.

I said I'd stop for the day after the first wing... just one more brushstroke.

Did a redraw of an old drawing again!
4 years ago I never would've thought my art style would go in this direction. I'm so happy to be more in control of my brushstrokes and placement of shadows, etc. though sometimes I miss that randomness in my art.

Morris was a member of the "Washington Color School" - members of this group practiced "soak staining": pour colors on canvas and let it sit..so you don't see many brushstrokes in such works.

Splendid!
