I work with mainly acrylic paint but i have been experimenting a little bit with oil paints.
I paint because I use it as a way to express my feelings, i like to paint my emotions on a canvas as a way to say everything I feel instead of keeping everything bottled up.
I make my work usually late at night, and i first drink a cup of coffee before because I like too finish a painting in one sitting no matter how long it may take, and i like to mentally visualize how I want my painting to look like and then I do a small sketch of it on some sketch paper and fix things i don't like about it, then I draw my final sketch very lightly on a canvas which I use a guide for the rest of my painting.
This portrait is by Diego Velazquez called Philip IV on Horseback. Equestrian portraits became common because it was believed that leaders looked especially powerful atop a large, powerful beast (horse)
This beautiful altarpiece is by the Italian Renaissance painter Carlo Crivelli. It represents the Madonna and Child enthroned with Saint Jerome and Saint Sebastian.
