Rearranged my studio space because natural light for filming is way more important than my irrational fear of having my back to a door. #artistproblems #studiospace #studio #artistofinstagram #goodlightingisimportant (at Bedford–Stuyvesant, Brooklyn)

I like this way more than I thought I would. Sometimes I sit down to paint something with a firm concept and high hopes that I'll like it. Sometimes I sit down with no concept at all and just the need to do it. #art #artistofinstagram #gouache #painting (at Bedford–Stuyvesant, Brooklyn)

"Look out from the darkness." I'm really happy with how this one turned out. After being displeased with my attempt at getting back into gouache this morning I decided to try again, this time with a limited color palette. #art #artistofinstagram #painting #gouache #gouachepainting #girl #darkness #moon #3colorchallenge (at Bedford–Stuyvesant, Brooklyn)

Art is never finished, only abandoned. I heard that somewhere are I love the saying. This piece: definitely abandoned. Trying to get the feel of gouache again but I don't know where I was going with this and Im not happy with whatever it is. Not all pieces work out, and that's alright. It was good practice anyway. #abandonedart #gouache #artist #artistsofinstagram #art #cantwinthemall (at Bedford–Stuyvesant, Brooklyn)
