Oil paint, graphite, pour-over coffee. Artist and bald
Direct #oilpainting “Little Man Ice Cream”

More work to be done on the drawing part of this painting. Colors are more saturated than they appear in the photos. Overall, I’m pleased with the composition and how much I accomplished in one session.

Thank you for hosting!
My name is Alden and I’m an artist and art student studying contemporary realism in oils and graphite. Excited to connect with more artists here!

Put another layer on this painting on Sunday! “Color first, detail second” is a really fun way to paint.

I love watching bad movies because I only have to watch half the time and it can be more about having a fun conversation with the people i’m watching with.

, here’s a lamp I drew.

Working my way through this classical drawing exercise. The Contour lines were a satisfying progression!

Something I didn’t expect from Ghost of Tsushima was the exceptional photo mode. Game is so gorgeous and camera so capable that you can compose with it. Art is everywhere!

Started a new plate from the Charles Bargue Drawing Course. This is the year to improve my drawing skills! I want to make great progress in my technical art skills this year, and drawing exercises like this are so valuable.

I know there’s a big art community on Bluesky, but is there a fashion and clothing community here too? Outfits are another way to express individual artistry every day. I’m happy with the warm oranges in this ‘fit!

Twelve hours into this portrait and it’s a good start. Oil painting is often a slow yet rewarding process.

Portrait of Elijah.

I've been on digital art recently, but I’m so glad I brought my easel and drawing supplies with me on my working vacation. Digital tools are great, but tangible media feels so much more real. And I don't think I'll ever get over the textural quality of graphite on paper.

Oil painting from this summer. The color harmony and composition are my favorite parts of this piece!

Digital skull study while traveling. Flights are easier with art.
