Paintings

Portraits

Process

All the paintings were created using acrylic paint, this is because I find it easy to work with as it blends nicely aswell as make different textures. The paintings are done on a canvas with a pre-made primer so that the paint can be easily manipulated and stay on without any problems.

The background colours are usually made with paint markers for easier maneuvering than a brush and to save time as they dry quicker than acrylic paint, unless there is a scenery which I then do with acrylic paint and paint brushes for maximum detail.

I paint various things from portraits to cars, but the ones I enjoy the most is portraits and pieces that are associated with my favourite TV shows and books, one example is of the sword above that originated from the Mortal Instruments saga by Cassandra Clare.

All my portraits are done in monotone as that is what I enjoy and feel most comfortable with doing, to add a pop of colour I colour the background either with one colour or multiple or/and create texture by adding random shapes and strokes.

Most of these pieces were done for people, either as a gift or a commission. I sometimes do commissions for people of their chosen subject matter, some include cars and wedding photos.

Painting is currently my hobby but in the near future I am hoping to turn it into a way of income, I love to paint and painting for a living would be a dream come true. I am coming to this idea slowly as can be seen with the painted cars as they were done as commissions.
