Makes me happy too :) It's my "Shweta spent a lot of time in the Rijksmuseum staring at Dutch Master work as a kid" painting :) All about the light n texture.
He hasn't posted for a while, I'm afraid. He's even worse at it than I am.
Thankyouu :) but... you know I don't actually know what I'm doing when I do it, right? beyond "high opacity small brush = sharp lines, low opacity big brush = fuzz". I just... sort of scribble till it looks right, and have intuitions on it based on years of doing this.
My approach to art is to look at everything as an effect, rather than a correct/wrong thing. if it's not the effect I wanted, I draw over it, but try to remember somewhat because it may be the effect I want some other time :)
oh yeah this approach only wrks with opaque media. Oils/acrylics or computerdrawing. Watercolors really need better planning, and mine turn to mud as often as not too.
This drawing was closest to soft pastel work, except that with soft pastels if you attempt too many layers it flakes or tears the paper.
Awww. He looks so contented. Perhaps he, too, is happy to be going back to Berkeley. (At which I go EEEE, though visits to California are now few and far between.)

I'm sure he is happy to be going back to Berkeley! There are important people to sit on there after all.
