The days are getting cooler, fall is fast approaching, and I am starting to feel better with every leaf that changes color and falls.

I made an introductory How-To for mixing and navigating the color wheel with acrylic paints! I designed it for absolute beginners but it is also a project that I find useful for practicing my color mixtures and testing palettes. #arttutorial #painting #colortheory

Finished the rough draft of my first tutorial along with photographs of the steps!
This tutorial focuses on acrylic paint and the color wheel.
Now I just need to edit it, clean it up, and then it’ll be ready to share. Woo!

New color wheel chart I’m playing with inspired by the Cavallini Chromatic Scale poster I’ve seen floating around on the internet.
Trying to think of how I can incorporate tints and tones into this design.

I’m working on lesson planning and the most frustrating part is having to slow myself down and not just dive into recording the lesson because I love making art so much.
Silver lining of my ADHD for sure but still painful to deal with in the moment.

I took last week off to spend time with my family and it was great! Now I am getting back into the studio and it can be hard to start. So, I’m doing a bit of a color study with my CMY palette by painting a color wheel on a canvas panel.

Sold my first original painting! (Untitled Voice, acrylic on canvas.)
It's been a rough couple of years to say the least but mile stones like this help me know I am on the right path for myself and my family. The horrors persist but so do I.

Finished part two of my Koi fish painting where I revisit the Art Academy (Nintendo 3DS) lesson but this time I did my own study and used the tutorial as more of a guideline.
I like how this one came out a lot more.
