Now that Christmas is past - here’s a gift my daughter and I made for my mom. She did the underpainting in acrylic, I went back and made the portrait in acrylic ink and gouache, and then she came back in and doodled on top of it. 11x14, gouache, acrylic, colored pencil. #portrait #gouache #acrylic

I try to do good in the World, not out of fear or for a reward, but because it feels better not to be an asshole.

You will be relentless. You will have courage. And you will create art that you know, in your heart, is not as good as you want it to be. You’ll want to quit. Don’t.
