I’m working on this painting for @trinidadhistory of Mr. Frank Bloom. It’s got a long way before done but it’s a fun start. 😁 #portrait #portraitpainting #oilpainting #art #artistlife #artoninstagram #painting #makingart #historicpaintingtoday #laelliott #coloradoartist #oilonlinen https://ift.tt/2vHLar9
I finished these little leaves. Decided to name this painting ‘Can-Can Maple Leaves’ because they remind me of ladies all lined up dancing. Lol. I’m such a nerd 🤓 #art #realisticpainting #realism #oilpaintersofamerica #contemporaryrealism #itsapainting #oilpainting #oilpaint #oilonboard #gamblincolors #jerrysartarama #artislife #trinidadcolorado #laelliott #yellowleaves #mapleleafs https://ift.tt/2HI5N8P

Alright! I’m thinking I’m about 80% done on this painting. Need to do details and whatnot. I’m planning to make the corners look like wood. But now I’m not not sure about the oval in general. So what do you think? Oval or no oval??? #oilpaint #oilpaintersofamerica #oilpainting #portrait #portraitpainting #selfportrait #purplehair #coloradoart #trinidadcolorado #artislife #artatlanta #artist #art #youropinionmatters https://ift.tt/2JG0FCN

I’d like to start by thanking all my followers. Thank you for being interested in my art and my development as an artist. Your encouragement and kind words have meant so much to me. I can hardly believe I’m less than 100 people away from having 6K followers it’s amazing and thank you. To show my gratitude, I’m giving away this oil painting study of a hand. It’s on 100% cotton paper primed with oil ground and is archival. It’s almost 9x9 inches. ———————————————————- To enter: follow me and tag 2 others in the comment section. Open to United States and Canada only. Drawing will be on Monday April 2nd! Good luck #freeartfriday #faf #laelliott #freeart #giveaway #thankful #art #oilpainting #painting #handinpants #oilpaintersofamerica #oilsketch #contemporaryrealism #artcolorado #laelliott #artonpaper #painting #artislife https://ift.tt/2uAHuGX

Step 3: rough draft. I’m starting to build up the paining. My darkest darks nor my lightest lights are in yet. Working on the mid-tones. Most of my students start by making their lights and darks too intense and not focusing on mid-tones. Middle values make for realistic paintings. #laelliott #portrait #portraitpainting #oilpaint #oilpainting #contemporaryrealism #realisticpainting #rosemarybrushes #coloradoart #trinidadcolorado #artislife #art #painterslife #purplehair https://ift.tt/2GxBiEG
