Here is the other graphite commissions I was working on last week! Both were birthday presents so I had to wait to post. I pushed myself on this background and I am so happy with the way it came out. Each piece is a culmination of everything you've learned from your previous work. I try my hardest to make every piece better than my last and I always find myself learning something new in the process.... Happy birthday to these two! . . . . . #art #arte #originalart #workofart #artist #sdart #sdartist #sandiegoart #sandiegoartist #instaart #instaartist #artnerd #contemporaryart #modernart #acryliconcanvas #sandiego_visuals #sandiego #california #supportyourlocalartist #artlife #graphite #graphiteportrait #comissionedart #comissions #portrait

Here is one of the graphite commissions I was working on last week! One of the coolest things about art is being able to create scenes that didn't exist and that's exactly what I did here. Swipe to see the reference pictures I used to make this happen. I love black and grey but I am ready to do some color (painted) portraits! I'm planning on starting my self portrait soon. ... I super curious, which do you like more? Portraits in graphite or color? . . . . . #art #arte #originalart #workofart #artist #sdart #sdartist #sandiegoart #sandiegoartist #instaart #instaartist #artnerd #contemporaryart #modernart #acryliconcanvas #sandiego_visuals #sandiego #california #supportyourlocalartist #artlife #graphite #portrait #commission #questionoftheday #letmeknow

On to my next commission! I like to keep my commissions somewhat of a surprise. I always want my customers to see their piece in person first. I can't show too much during the process but I'll be sure to post pictures of these in the next few weeks. Excited about this color pallette! Interested in a commission? Books are currently open for December. Let's talk!... . . . . . #art #arte #originalart #workofart #artist #sdart #sdartist #sandiegoart #sandiegoartist #instaart #instaartist #artnerd #contemporaryart #modernart #acryliconcanvas #sandiego_visuals #sandiego #california #supportyourlocalartist #artlife #commissions See more

My favorite face by far. This Garibaldi lives in my painting "La Jolla". I absolutely love these fish. While I was painting this piece, I learned that Garibaldi are not only the largest damsel fish but also the most territorial which explains the attitude. . .... . . . #art #arte #originalart #workofart #artist #sdart #sdartist #sandiegoart #sandiegoartist #instaart #instaartist #artnerd #contemporaryart #modernart #acryliconcanvas #sandiego_visuals #sandiego #california #supportyourlocalartist #artlife #garibaldi #damsel #marinelife #lajolla See more

Working on a couple comissions today! For those of you that don't know, my background is in graphite realism. (Swipe to see some of my old work) I started my art career by drawing family and pet portraits. Every once in a while I still get commissioned to do a graphite portrait and it's always fun to exercise those skills.... Currently booking commissions for October. Dm me for more info.
