Quick Painting: Natalie Portman

Growing up, I always wanted to paint but I never learned how. In 2009, I started to teach myself. With the start of this new year, that learning continues.


The first quick painting is of Natalie Portman (very much Black Swan inspired).

Kyler-Thanks! Hopefully I can keep it up. I'm starting to love my new painting impulses.

Vikki-Oh, there will definitely be more more more! How has everything been on your end? It's been a while.

Jvolz-Visible brushwork is something that I'm really enjoying. More are coming! More are coming!

Guy-I appreciate it! I tried a less loaded brush with thinner washes and I really liked the effect it had. Hope everything has been good on your end as well.
