I am a young artist wanting to share my art! I am planning to sell my art locally soon. I have started a blog and a YouTube channel to do so! I am excited for this journey of me sharing my art to start and experience the ups and downs of selling art and sharing it with you my viewers! To start off this post let me tell you about my recent art experience.
~ Recent Art Experience ~
Learning Oil paint
This is my first oil painting. It took four months to dry because of how much paint I put on all at once. It was a good lesson on how the paint worked. It took me a few days to paint. I had to keep layering on paint because I messed up frequently. As you can see there is some black in the sunset. I did my best at the time. Planning to redo this someday!
This is my second oil painting. I decided to do a feather to figure out how the colors blend together better and to also learn from my past mistakes. I decided also to let each layer dry before adding lighter or darker colors. It took me about a month to paint.
This is my third oil painting. After my second oil painting I felt like I needed a challenge. This was a challenge indeed. If you look closely you can see all the colors I used. I definitely had to use references for this piece. I was a bit anxious about the eyeball once everything else was done. I waited a bit to do it. I would say though this probably took me a solid 2 months or so. Mainly it is waiting for the paint to dry but also I would sit there for several hours at a time mixing colors and blending with my tiny paint brushes to get the right affect. I also I had to repaint over some parts that did not look quite right.

This is an acrylic painting. I wanted to do a simple painting while finishing up the end of my term. I had a different idea that I painted over. It was a mountain with a sunset and I was trying to add a lake. The colors clashed so badly. So I repainted over everything. Then it took me about two to three weeks of figuring out what I wanted to do. I knew I wanted to work on perspective though. I had fun painting the mountain too. Not sure if you can see it but I added some glitter to the mountain. Although I did work on perspective what the hardest part was of this painting was to figure out the shadows and highlights of the mountain range. At first I wanted a close up of another mountain you could see in the front. I could not quite figure it out though. I was trying to paint hills that are all white and snowy in the front but after a week or so trying to do that. Trees seemed easier. I also think this painting suits Oregon very well. It reminds me of going out for drive and seeing the hills and then mount hood behind the trees. This did not take me long to paint but to figure out through trial and error.
This is what this YouTube and blog is all about. Going through the process of trial and error to get to the last sketch. Getting to the last sketch is key but will we ever get to the last sketch to have the completed result we want or will we draw up something else to paint that could be better then before!
~Coming up~
On the YouTube channel I will be posting art edits like you have seen above but also art vlogs. I plan to post a video every week on week days. Then for the blog a post every Friday. For my other social media on instagram I will be posting some art on the weekends.
Yet life gets busy once in a while so stay tuned for updates on when postings are coming out and please follow, like, subscribe, and share.
Thank you so much for reading!
