Whenever I draw faces of these African kids, I like to tell stories through their eyes. Each story is unique. Some stories carry the scars of war, some are about dreams & aspirations while some are just childhood innocence….

Starting a painting 🔨
I have learned that I have to get a full layer of a painting down in the first go. With oil this is especially important so the full layer can dry before I paint on it again. I use 4" house painting brushes for these initial layers…

From artist Madeline Usher:

While making 𝘼 𝙍𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙮 𝘿𝙖𝙮 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙉𝙚𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙗𝙤𝙧𝙝𝙤𝙤𝙙 I was very tempted to make it an autumn themed piece instead. So I decided to make both and here is 𝘼𝙣 𝘼𝙪𝙩𝙪𝙢𝙣 𝘿𝙖𝙮 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙉𝙚𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙗𝙤𝙧𝙝𝙤𝙤𝙙! I'm glad I did. I like both variants.
