a decade gone by
(some thoughts below the cut)


i started this painting a decade(-ish) ago when i was 13, taking a summer class. i finally finished it this past weekend after my mom found it and wanted to hang it up

it was only halfway complete, so i spent about an hour to cover up the blank canvas to make it presentable. i remember heavily referencing a photo when i started this, so it was fun filling in the gaps without any ref after all this time.

wish i had taken a before/after pic to remember how it started, but im glad to have finally finished it!! i'm not the most technically skilled traditional painter, but it's fun to break out the physical brushes every now and then

in reply to @earlgrey's post:

thank you!! i was pleased to see that the colors i chose as a 13 year old still held up pretty well. i tried to stay faithful to the palette when finishing it, but ended up mixing some more blue hues into the dark colors than before
