Hey, there!

In today's post I'll be sharing my most recent paintings and sketches. I've been working hard on, not only staying consistent with my blog and YouTube channel while teaching art classes locally, but also on producing the work I will be selling as soon as I'm able to open my online shop. 

The two oil paintings included in this small compilation are the last two in the collection of five large (90 x 70 cms.) landscape oil paintings that I sought out to create about two months ago. It was a self-imposed challenge as I had never really created a "series" of larger paintings, and I really wanted to push myself to explore one single theme.

This weekend, I'll be starting on a collection of five still life oil paintings that will also be for sale and I'm very excited about that!

Through my online art shop, I'll be selling originals created with both oils and watercolors!

Aside from these two oil paintings, I'm sharing the watercolor illustrations I created for the July calendar I sent out to my e-mail subscribers this week (at the end of each month I send them a calendar for the following month). I really enjoy painting with watercolors and pushing myself to continue improving with this medium. 

​Aside from using these illustrations as part of the calendar design, I also create awesome products for my Society6 and Redbubble shops with them, which I'd love for you to check out! :)

And, finally, I'm also including some sketches. I'm always going on about how I find drawing so important, and how it's important for artists to keep drawing throughout their journeys, and I'm holding myself accountable!

I'm continuing to push myself to create human figure studies in more complex/dynamic poses (as opposed to the very stiff and uninteresting poses I drew when I first started). The human figure is a great challenge for me, but I've seen significant progress since I've started drawing it more consistently.

I like that you said that oil paintings could make different types of art such as portraits and different art designs. My sister told me the other day that she was hoping to find landscape oil paintings as she was preparing to add oil paintings to her art collection in her studio. She asked if I had opinions on the best options for choosing oil paintings. I'm grateful for this valuable art tips article, I'll tell her we can consult a trusted landscape oil painting service as they can help with her ideal art.
