It’s been more than 20 years sense I’ve done any oil painting. This is still a work in progress but it I’m kind of remembering how to use these paints 😂 #oilpainting #wildlifeartist #wildlifeart

I forgot how much I love oil pastels. Getting back into different art mediums after so many years of burn out has been amazing. I don’t want to sound cheesy but I feel blessed in some ways to have the chance to work great companies like Meeden. #oilpastels #meedenart #dragons #fantasyartist #pastels

I love doing tiny art. I got this tiny sketch book and some crazy new colored pencils. They are like mechanic pencils and can be sharpened to a super fine point so they work great for details and miniature art. #fantasyartist #miniatureart #dragon

Sorry the video is kind of blurry. Got some rainbow colored pencils. These are cool! They change colors are you rotate them. Going to be fun to draw some larger artwork. Just did a quick dragon to try them out. #fantasyart #coloredpencils #dragons

I haven’t used colored pencils in years. I got this new set by Kalour amzn.to/427SWYN and wanted to try my hand at colored pencils again. Still need to add a few more highlights but almost done. #wildlifeart #wildlifeartist #snakeart #bushviper #smallartist #coloredpencils
