Final Thoughts on Nathan Fowkes Color and Light Class
Overall, his class was pretty damn good. The main thing I learned form Mr. Fowkes was simplifying my designs. I didn’t realize how much extraneous detail I was adding to my pieces in the pretense of high quality art. I would add extra color and bedazzles to make sure not one piece of my art…

Week 6 Assignment
It took me quite a few color keys to get this one out but I’m glad I went through the extra work. It turns out I just needed to leave my apartment and go to a coffee shop to get some fresh new ideas. These days I’ve been kind of a hermit haha. The assignment…

Phone Life Paints 4
A couple more for you guys. These two were painted at Bethesda Park and Five Forks Trickum Park. I’ve made doing paintings from a life a daily habit not particularly to get better (though it’s fantastic for that) but just to have some time to myself outside. I like being outside. There is something that…
