🎨 Exploring portraits — one layer at a time.


See each layer in my own oil studies as I experiment with skin tones, brushwork, and structure — not chasing perfection or likeness, just allowing the process to guide me.



Each one is a chance to loosen up, try something new, and build confidence with oils. Watching the layers unfold is part of the joy.
