Last one before I go. This painting in progress will have to wait until I come back in a couple of weeks. A first layer of 24K gold leaf has been set on the geometrical figure, and the mix will dry for some days. #goldexperience #goldleafart #24kmagic #ventoaureo #sacredgeometryart #20x20
My painting of the day. It's a challenge to bring an overexposed picture to canvas, but I'm excited about this one! 📸 Once again, I limited my palette to 4 colors. 🟥⬜🟨🟫 #anderszorn #4color palette 🎨 Three more 10x10 cm portraits to go and I'll jump into the bigger format canvases. Time for some spooky art. #nudeportrait #onepaintingaday #10x10challenge #inktober #livemodeldrawing #livemodel #readingcorner

「2 Hour oil alla prima painting」 10x10cm With a new confinement right around the corner, I'm challenging myself to create at least one piece a day while I'm still in Brussels. Whether it's painting, sculpture, photos or sketches, I'll be posting way more often. #allaprimapainting #zornpalette #allaprima #nudemodelart #nudepainting #reconfinement
To see a world in a grain of sand, And a heaven in a wild flower, Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, And eternity in an hour. — William Blake, Auguries of Innocence #deathstranding #bridgebaby #3dpen #mexicanartist
