New Painting in Progress

new painting in progress, oil paint on 18 by 24 inch canvas board

in progress, current stage: looking up references for what i want to do with her eyes..

im excited about this painting, im working on it using a slightly different painting technique. using walnut oil as a medium instead of turpenoid, which i just realized leaves me painting in a more watery consistency.
I will do glazes on her later for color. i hope that goes well, i dont know how to do it properly. still excited!

Discomfort With Finding Yourself

This is a painting about, well..what the title suggests. The egg represents hope for an answer, in finding comfort in oneself. Hope that you will eventually feel okay in your own skin. I was feeling really off when I sketched this idea out, and it felt good to draw a girl that only felt comfortable if her nose was hidden., better a cone than a hideous (to her) nose.
