Who is this: Starting With Oil

I started with oil today and the colors are going to start out very saturated.

It’s intentional that I’m starting this way, I’m pushing the chroma of the colors on the beginning layers so that I can use some semi glazed layers on subsequent sessions to tone it down some. I hope to have most of the high chroma colors show through the later layers and give the skin a transparent quality.

I am an Artist and a programmer currently living in the amazing state of Washington. I have a passion for art, but I'm stubborn as hell with it. My day is complete only when I do some piece of art each day, no matter how small. "There was a dream that was Rome. You could only whisper it. Anything more than a whisper and it would vanish, it was so fragile."
