This year, I’ve not only been painting in oil but also playing around with different illustrative styles. For years I’ve been struggling to find a style that was looser and less involved than the one I used for Veeptopus. Lately I’ve been experimenting with liquid watercolor, which feels like it’s halfway between ink drawing and painting.
I did the above painting last week while in the first week of quarantine. It feels right considering the moment.
Earlier this year, we went to Rome (oh, those were the days). I had a blast painting and sketching —along with eating my weight in pasta.
