New work in progress! It's a two panel painting. I've posted one of the panels before... but it has also been updated. I'll post both, here. It's still a WIP. The facing forward model, you can see where I corrected the shoulder lines. Hehe

Experimenting with new media... this was done with INK. I used India inks and acrylic inks on Ampersand's Claybord. Painting inspired by the lovely nature boy @kynly-photo.bsky.social

So... more practicing with oil pastels. I took a charcoal drawing I had already done and added fixative. Then I played around with the oil pastel sticks. I... I.. I'm on the fence with it.

Practicing with oil pastel sticks. It feels like painting and drawing all at the same time. Haha. I'm also testing out these boards that are treated with a toothy, clay surface.
