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!

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.

Veil of Trees Canvas

"Whispers of Freedom" captures the ethereal beauty of nature as white birds gracefully take flight amidst a dense, shadowy forest. The interplay of light and dark creates a serene yet mysterious atmosphere, inviting viewers to reflect on themes of freedom and the journey beyond confinement. This striking monochrome piece is perfect for those who appreciate the delicate balance between tranquility and movement in nature. Created By EsmArt!
