It's been all about eyes this week! 😄 I've also recently been introduced into D&D, so of course I needed to make my dice box look a little more fancy 😉 #art #artist #paint #painting #painter #oilpaint #oilpainting #oilpainter #gothic #gothicart #dark #darkart #eyes #demoneyes #redeyes #horror #horrorart #creepy #demon #demonic #albino #warlock #instaart #instaartist https://www.instagram.com/p/B2M_XJrg2KU/?igshid=18ktzbqwkfc8b

Metamorphosis has been a bit of a key theme in this piece and my life this year, I love finding new perspectives and seeing how things blossom 😊🖤🌹...getting ready to put the final varnish on this unnamed darkling, I'm really look forward to seeing how she turns out! #wip #workinprogress #art #artist #paint #painting #painter #oilpaint #oilpainting #oilpainter #gothic #gothicart #dark #darkart #portrait #femaleportrait #gothgirl #instaart #instaartist #creepy #demon #redeyes #horror #darkbeauty https://www.instagram.com/p/B0oY9-ynPVX/?igshid=8fjfy7x6smi

#wip hidden surface patterns! 🎨 I dont know if anyone else will find this intersting, but I love having lots of little textures and details embedded between layers...sometimes I write notes to myself which you can still see once the painting is finished....imperfections are beautiful! 🖤👻 #workinprogress #detail #art #artist #paint #painting #painter #oilpaint #oilpainting #oilpainter #gothic #gothicart #dark #darkart #portrait #instaart #instaartist https://www.instagram.com/p/BwxhGyAnzac/?igshid=b88ildjvsstu

#wip I'm enjoying this painting purely because I have no idea where it's going Hehe! I think there are still a few things I want to add though...Just to blend everything together 🎨 so we will she how she ends up 👻👻👻#workinprogress #art #artist #paint #painting #painter #oilpaint #oilpainting #oilpainter #gothic #gothicart #dark #darkart #portrait #femaleportrait #gothgirl #instaart #instaartist #demon #redeyes https://www.instagram.com/p/BwPv99-nDl6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=j7q8us6d9h7w

2019 hasn't been the year I wanted it to be, but I think it's time to start painting again 😊🎨🖤 I spent today varnishing a few things, I just love how lustrous the colours look under all that gloss! 😍 #newleaf #art #artist #paint #painting #painter #oilpaint #oilpainting #oilpainter #gothic #gothicart #dark #darkart #portrait #femaleportrait #gothgirl #ravens #ravenpainting #instaart #instaartist https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv7JqPtHQLi/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1aa1slmdvc38q

#wip Another detail from a painting I'm re-vamping! I kind of enjoy the feeling of not knowing if this is a great decision or a totally tragic one! 😅😅🤘🏻🎨 the fear of ruining a piece and disrupting my initial plans is something that always rekindles lost inspiration! (Can't say it's a technique I'd recommend though Hehe!) #workinprogress #art #artist #paint #painting #painter #oilpaint #oilpainting #oilpainter #gothic #gothicart #dark #darkart #portrait #brushstrokes https://www.instagram.com/p/BtyIUaFnEAB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19luhfzm7gwlp

#wip decided to just completely rework this one hehe 🎨😖 first new layer of many I'm guessing!
