A photo of three different lanterns painted on black paper, placed on a wooden desk and surrounded by coloured pencils, a paint brush, acrylic markers, leaves, and fluorite crystals. The left lantern has the shape of a witchy hat and features pink and teal stained glass; the center lantern is oblong and greenish, spectral smoke escaping from it; the right lantern glows demonically red, with a face reminiscent of Jack-o’-lanterns.

Just before Christmas, I decided to stick to my tradition of drawing a robin, although this time, in oils! Traditionally, oil paintings are done on a warm wash background so I had a go - and yes, really love painting on the warmer toned surface!

I finished this one up awhile ago and just forgot to post it with moving and everything. It was a fantastic lesson in expression in minis.

If you've been following along with the evolution of #cosmiccowboy I decided I needed to be able to say I was more scared of the piece being inaccurate than possibly making it worse. Embrace the journey. It's about joy.

Oil on 8x10 canvas panel

2.5 hours brushtime
An oil painting on an 8x10 canvas panel of a single, brittle, mellowed leaf, in a white painted Mason jar. The background is Ultramarine Blue with Lamp Black, the foreground is just a touch of Pthalo Green and Titanium White. After drying, I will apply a very lightly tinted yellow glaze to the leaf to unify.

5 of the 9 apples are nearing completion. Still not sure what I'm going to do with background (was a dark wood table). Work in progress converted to grayscale to double check values.

I tried to get better at painting eyes by following different tutorials and tried compiling the thinks I like in the last one I did by myself.

This is the result, what do you think?
Which one do you like the most?

This is my second practice of painting cosmic clouds and nebula in space. I'm trying to practice on multimedia paper before moving back to Cosmic Cowboy canvas.

It is definitely a blending game. Here, I can see exactly where I should've stopped.

Cider House Rules

9x12 " oil on canvas

Approx 6 hours brushtime

#oilpainting #arizonaartist #paintcoach #stilllife #learnpainting
A painting inspired by the still life portion of Chris Forza's "Paint Coach Method of Oil Painting course. Painting depicts a wooden bucket of apples that has been knocked over on a table allowing three apples to roll out. One is still deep in the bucket. This is the first full practice of The Method. SIMPLIFY. SHAPE. SHARPEN. This is the second of my Paint Coach paintings. If you've been following along the sunflowers 18x24 was also from one of his courses. I'm impressed with my growth in terms of speed after taking my Mesa Center for the Arts class. This painting was much easier for me to keep up with the video class, than the previous. Much less pausing than Sunflowers.

New @toddmcasey.bsky.social book.
Three days off.
Class tomorrow.

The only thing bringing me peace inside, stillness inside, is painting.

#oilpainting #paintdaily #stilllifepainting #learnpainting
A tome of a book for any Painter's studio, this beautiful book is hardcover and just absolutely gorgeous showcasing a great deal of the author's personal work, and, like his other book, complete with exercises throughout. Highly recommend.

Trying to get the lower half squared away and caught up to Paint Coach in his Basic Drawing for Painting Course. Tomorrow... sunflowers.
This is the assignment painting for Chris Forza's (Paint Coach) Basic Drawing for Painting course. He gets his painting to this stage in about an hour and 50 minutes. It took me closer to eight hours, but I'm really happy with my progress. This photo is also a cool juxtaposition of the final form of the objects versus the straight line stick Drawing to place those objects. I learned a lot during this quick online course, and it is well worth the 47 bucks it cost.

The saga of the Lemon Tutorial
Study of a lemon. Part of the online Paint Coach Fundamentals of Oil Painting course. First time "completing" the lemon. I saw several things off about the shape, and going with planes defined as "wedges" instead of "shapes of light" did not work as well as I had hoped. So I went directly on top and started redefining the planes with wrap around brush strokes. My second attempt is MUCH closer to the Paint Coach modeled tutorial painting.

Had my final Basics of Oil Painting class on Wednesday night. Two of us were brave enough to tackle the "live model" still life.

#oilpainting #learnpainting #stilllife #arizonaartist #fineart #mesaartscenter
Lee painting a model of a still life, painting from life instead of a photo. Most of the other students worked on a picture from home. The still life from this side is two bottles, sunflowers, an old coffee pot, and a couple of pears. Lee's 2 hour final painting. My painting just after blocking in simple shapes. My final oil painting for my first live art class. 2 hours from still life model, no photo.
