Fresh off the easel and on its way to Australia. I’m excited for my client to unbox it.

I’m open for new art commissions. I have a minor surgery coming up so timelines may be a bit slower. If waiting is no issue, feel free to reach out.

Yo! In my last reel, I know I'd reveal my project on Nov 1, which is today, but I got ill last week so the plan didn't go through. I'm still on the mend. Also, I have a commission waiting that I need to start so the reveal will have to wait a bit. It's unfortunate because I'm excited to share it. 💜

Another inktober entry. Yes, I'm doing those daily, but I don't post all of them. It's easier to stay committed when I know it's not a must to post them on social media. I'm also making oil brush set for Procreate that I plan to sell once it's ready. 🎨

#Procreate #DigitalArt #IpadProArt #Ornate
Digital painting with oil brush set that I made so far of a yellow priest, covered in a hooded cloak, with fancy shiny ornate pattern with light wine red internal fabric with the same pattern. Its face is black partially covered. 3 thin smokes in yellow color is steaming off from its cloak. Simple gradient background. At lower right corner writes "inktober #17 Ornate" with my "m" signature.

Resuming oil painting after a long break due to me overusing my shoulder. No peeking! I'm looking at you! 👀 The result will be revealed on Nov. 1.

Somewhere light years away from Earth, an alien called it the trunk of glass. 😆

Made with 3 colors as seen in this picture. It was a fun still life study exercise. #colorpencil #colorpencilart #colorpencilsketch #art

Happy birthday! Perfect timing. I just revisited a series of old work a few days ago - first one was on android tablet that was barely had enough power for art. Thankfully I've improved. ;) Sorry it's a bit disorganized, but I hope you get the idea.

A "scientific" study of Cauliflower inspired by a book I'm reading, The Laws Guide to Nature Drawing and Journaling by John Muir Laws. 🔬 That was challenging. 😅

Alright, I made a bigger change to this feed with the focus on seeing what people are working on - so all history/content accounts are filtered out. While it's still WIP, you should notice the difference already.

Also its description was updated to clarify its purpose.

Feedback welcome.

Revisited my old work of a gnome drawing I did a long time ago on Procreate while testing out their beta version. I like their brush organization so that was fun to play with. 😊

Back from a long, wizard-worthy quest! 🧙‍♂️
Finally sharing my Gandalf oil painting, now properly photographed.
Open for commission. DM if you want some magic on your wall! ✨
#OilPainting #Gandalf #FantasyArt #CommissionsOpen #LotR
Oil painting of Gandalf from Lord of the Rings, shown with a long white beard, wide-brimmed hat, and a pipe. He’s lit by warm, golden light, with expressive brushstrokes and a soft, storytelling atmosphere. The piece has a classic, almost Rembrandt-like feel.

Hello all! I just did my first en plein air of the year today on 18 x 24 cm canvas panel. It took me 1.5 hours. Fun to paint out of my small studio for a change. :D

Throwback Thursday! While preparing for my gallery show, I found my very first plein air painting from '16 or '17. Fun to see how far I've come!

A still life sketch to apply what I've learned so far from the book "Sketching from Square One to Trafalgar Square.

From artist to artist, may this serve as a friendly reminder to review your basics, even if you think you know enough, you may have missed some good ones. I did! ;)

"Morning's Song" oil painting (sold) is being varnished. It's my favorite moment because I get to see the colors coming back alive. 🎨❤️
