The first one was “Spring”. Spring, Acrylic on Paper, 2015…driptorchpress (69)in art • 5 years agoFacial Sketches Some of these are absolutely terrifying. Like words cannot describe. Out of 14, I’d say maybe 4 are something I would consider worthy of sharing. The rest? Burned. Or shared very publicly. Because…driptorchpress (69)in art • 5 years agoAt The BeachAt the Beach, Acrylic on Paper, 2015 It is striking to me that this was painted long before I went to a life drawing class. The shapes aren’t particularly bad, but the shading is wow… is she…driptorchpress (69)in art • 5 years agoSwimming Swimming, Acrylic on Canvas, 2015 I painted this to go along with “Fishing” but this is on canvas.

I do like the reflection in the water…driptorchpress (69)in art • 5 years agoSunset ShoreSunset Shore, Acrylic on Paper, 2015 Not a whole lot to say about this one. It’s fun, the figures aren’t bad. The sun is a bit wonky, but the reflection is kinda cool. Details are sparse. Which…driptorchpress (69)in art • 5 years agoTulipsTulips, Acrylic on Paper, 2015 Is this what tulips actually look like? Or did I just call it that? The stems are a little thick, and the leaves make no sense. But it’s not bad aesthetically.
