Painting

My painting has greatly improved since 2017 as well.  I do a mixed media now, using whatever I have in my arsenal in order to achieve the right effect.  It usually starts with an acrylic base coat, followed by pastel blocking, and finishing off with final detailing and body shading in oils.  I'll admit that I take absolutely FOREVER to do any paint jobs now, but the results are generally worth the wait for the owners.  Most of my models do pretty well at live shows.
