#Realistic Painting

Excellent painting tutorial. In case you don't know the terms in the last description, "edge variation" means having "hard" or "soft" edges, where hard edges are crisp and good for high-detail, and soft edges are more blurry/smudged and are good for giving objects the appearance of receding in distance. In the painting above, the snake's eye uses hard edges, and its teeth and underside of the jaw use softer edges. "Occlusion shadows" are the absolute darkest parts because they are the areas where no light reaches, not even reflected or ambient light. They tend to be small and are used sparingly. Above, there's an occlusion shadow around the snake's eye. However, the shading of the eye was probably exaggerated to make it stand out more, since it's the focal point.

I was honored to be profiled by Laura Vailati for Realism Today. She focused on my U2 paintings, which I use as a sort of watercolor playground and idea generator for my other work. Thank you, Realism Today!

my grief. AKA a little self-therapy art i did to digest the passing of one of my beloved pets. the passing wasn't recent but i realised I'm still aching so i decided 2 commemorate my baby through art.. she had a huge positive influence on my life overall and I want to focus on that positivity!

This painting is inspired by a shot in Fiona Apple's infamous "criminal" video, the cinematography in that music video is amazing, theres tons of shots in that video that are just beautiful. And i love fionas eyes, i wanted to draw/paint those eyes of hers.
