I've had this toned Canson paper sitting in the studio forever- several sheets of it in fact- and thought it would be a good paper to use for these wildlife drawings. The black and white charcoal and Venetian red pencil on toned paper is a technique I've been wanting to explore. It's usually used for drawings of humans, but works well with animals too.

ACEO Lion Sketch

Sold
ACEO lion sketch
I'll probably be trying my hand at wildlife painting, so look out for a lion painting in oil. I'll be painting that and other paintings larger, most likely. I'm thinking about painting the lion on 9" x 12" canvas panel. Here in the studio there is a panel that has been gessoed and toned with burnt umber that I just realized would be perfect for a lion portrait.

Mother's Day Daisy Painting ACEO

Sold
ACEO daisy painting
2.5" x 3.5" (6.4cm x 8.9cm)

A new flower painting in time for Mother's Day.

This is an acrylic painting on watercolor paper, a combination I have really been enjoying. It's an effective combination, I think, since you can paint directly on the nicely textured surface without gessoing. When painting with oils on paper, you always have to gesso or seal the surface with acrylic matte medium. If you don't, the oil will absorb into the paper and rot it.

Yellow Goldfinch Sketch ACEO

Sold
ACEO yellow goldfinch sketch

This is one of the more quickly drawn sketches I've done. There were no stumbles, backtracking, or fixes to do-- just smooth sailing.

Birds are interesting to draw, but I'd also like to do some new bird paintings as well. I painted a few birds in acrylic several years ago. I'm not sure if I've posted those or not. If not, look for those soon.

Revolution Money Exchange Offering $25 Sign-up Bonus

This is a new payment network to rival PayPal, and through April 15, they are offering $25 to everyone who creates an account (see the sign up button below). I signed up last week and the procedure is quick and painless, and much like PayPal. But unlike PayPal, there are no fees involved.

Once you sign up, two deposits are made to your bank account. To verify your bank account with Money Exchange, you input the two amounts in the required fields. Once that's complete you can either spend the money or transfer it your bank account.

Also, for every person that you refer, you get an additional $10 (upon completion of account creation), so there is a possiblity of a nice chunk of extra money to be made.

Old Tree Sketch ACEO

Sold
ACEO old tree sketch

I like trees, especially old ones where the trunk and branches are doing all sorts of interesting things.

Tree tidbit: Thomas Jefferson is supposed to have said that he thought it should be a punishable offense to cut down a tree for no good reason.

email me for International shipping rates or other inquiries.




Here is a new oil painting that I mentioned before. I finally got started on it, after much delay. I was sort of surprised at how quickly this was painted, since I haven't painted in oils lately (although I have been painting digitally on a regular basis and sketching every day, so I'm sure that has helped prevent getting too rusty with oils). Look for more oil paintings soon, including some landscapes.

Next: a pencil sketch.

I've only rarely painted in watercolor, but plan on painting more in that media soon, especially for sketches like this. Next post will be back to oils.

Dinosaur National Monument



This is a 20" x 30" oil painting of a scene in Dinosaur National Monument, located in eastern Utah and western Colorado. Painted from reference photos. This exact scene doesn't exist, as it was cobbled together from two or three different photographs I shot while visiting.

New Blog

I've started up a new, separate blog for my fantasy art and illustration projects. This will function as the news section of my website. I'll be posting new paintings and finished illustrations there, along with various sketches, drawings, and concepts.

So on this blog I will continue to post still life paintings, landscapes, animal sketches, and other related pieces. The Stungeon Studios blog will be where you can see new paintings and illustrations from the fantastical realm.
