Might touch it up a little, but calling this completed.
Acrylics on canvas, W27.4cm x H22cm

Started a few days ago. And while my paints are still wet, updating other paintings.

Thinking about creating a new Instagram for my paintings. What do you guys and gals think?
My main Insta is all over the place.

This was originally for the "fresh" prompt for childhood week, but other events came up and I couldn't finish it until now. To this day, my mom can still be found roaming around Oahu in her banana sap stained shirts and army fatigues, seeking out fresh fruit, fresh flowers, and fresh fish.

@TessaW Love all your pieces! Very painterly and alive

@MattBaker This is really awesome in so many ways and does indeed look fun (to draw)! I hope we get to see more of these type of projects from you and I'm always looking for more authentic racial representation in Biblical illustration. love your depiction of his locks!!

@carriecopadraws wow, your wizard of oz is fantastic! Also, i looove howls moving castle...all of his movies pretty much. Literally just watched Totoro two days ago aaah, a masterpiece

[VeronicaMui]

@xin-li wow, funny to see this image here, I just saw it on my instagram feed today? Yesterday? I forget where, but it was for the competition that you had entered. I love your style! The little girl with the umbrella is lovely too. I especially like the inside of the umbrella for some reason...such a satisfying shape with subtle color changes. Lovely!

[xin li]

@VeronicaMui hehe. Thanks you so much. The Lotus seeds harvest piece was for a competition - I got a lot of help here in the forum.

I have another image of the little girl in my portfolio, which brough me a project recently, so I thought I would draw her again as a gesture of "thank you" to my own character. One of my art teachers told me that my digital mark-making looks like pastel painting. He suggested me look into Degas -he was specifically talking about the subtle color changes :-). I actually bought a box of soft pastel, and opened it - then I was so intimidated, I went back to iPad

Working on sketching every day. Couple more here. Drawing a lot is my current focus
