learning to paint with gouache / hating that I have to be bad at something before I improve :')
this is the first gouache portrait i've done that doesn't make me want to claw my own eyes out!! imperfect + unfinished but I sort of just stopped before I hated it lmao
i struggle so much with "trust the process" mediums like this... pics of the process i had to trust below the cut
another painting in my little 5.5x5.5" book! Gonna be super over ambitios and say I want to fill it with paintings (90 pages lmao) really enjoying the gouache :))))
thank you for your kindness on crowley's painting progress pics below the cut ↓
Andrew Scott in Vanya (one of the best things I've ever seen)
Another fully self indulgent gouache painting and ugh, fuck it, I'm gonna say it - I'm actually super proud of myself for this one. Seriously thought I'd bitten off more than I could chew with the lighting and hands. So pleased that I persevered :)

(and for real everyone alive has to watch Vanya at least once in their life it's absolutely incredible)
