I also do commentary vids but I liked how this one turned out with just the painting sounds (apart from one moment where I showed the almost finished painting to my son, Interstellar is his favourite film)

I spent about a year building a realistic acrylic portrait painting course — curriculum first, then filming, then a LOT of editing.

I broke the whole portrait process into clear step-by-step lessons (drawing, underpainting, skin tones, layering, refining, realism), and then painted six full portraits applying the same workflow. Those example paintings are time-lapsed, but I talk through every decision so nothing important gets skipped.

I sold it for a while.

Last year I had a scary eye health situation that still isn’t fully resolved, and it forced me to rethink priorities.

I realized I didn’t want good learning resources locked behind a paywall anymore — I wanted them available to anyone who genuinely wants to improve.

So I made the entire course free on YouTube.

Not sure if anyone here would be interested, but if so I can drop the link in the comments.

There are a few theories on how Arion was born in Greek mythology. One theory stated that this immortal horse was the offspring of Poseidon and the Olympian goddess, Demeter.  Both Demeter and Poseidon turned into horses and mated, giving birth to Arion. Other theories proposed that Arion was the offspring of Zerpheus and a Harpy or the goddess of Earth, Gaia.

Since he never put his art in an exhibition and nobody except of my family ever saw what a great artist he was, I thought I’d share the oil painting he made for me when I was 9.

16”x20” acrylic on canvas. The original is sold, but there will be prints.

"Finally captured Chicago on a good hair day! 🌆🎨 It’s all fun and games until you try to paint a straight line in watercolor... but hey, who needs straight lines when you’ve got reflections to cover it up? 😂 Check out my latest piece—Chicago’s skyline looking better than my morning coffee!
