I almost gave up on this artwork.. | Oil Painting Time Lapse

Sharing the process of a new sunflower portrait I just finished. This oil painting measures 18x24in, oil on canvas.


I am an artist residing in beautiful washington state! My paintings are heavily inspired by nature and its beauty. I work primarily in oil paint, and sometimes watercolor. I prefer to work in a mostly realistic style and occasionally experiment outside of that. I post oil painting time lapses, painting lessons and tutorials, drawings, art tips, and occasionally artist vlogs where I share bits of my life as an artist. Creating art is my greatest passion and I'm thankful for the chance to share it with you. ♥
