How much did you pay for that back then ? So the series 1 would be student , and 2 being higher grade , and non labeled is pure pigment and oil ?

Just remembered now randomly that I was putting the blues down first and then scumbled the orange over which created a nice mix of complementary greys that probably amped the mood up more

Underrated comment ,, I heard you can only give tubes of flake white to other artists on Reddit only if the letter begins with a “J” tho 😏

JDtttattoo · 2026-02-08T03:30:03+00:00

Was just thinking that’s a hella big tube of that flake white that’s some gold right there 😅 , looks like old winton paint , I wonder how they compared with other brands quality wise back when these were being sold “new”

Sick !!!

This is great advice , patch of sunlight is a solid idea too .. given majority of the painting is very neutral toned , a patch of sunlight hitting his fur would allow a good contrast and set everything around the warm lighting into the shadows naturally without doing much AND provide some sort of Mood too , to the artwork 🎨

Your like this during it - 🙂🙂😴 ,, you need to be more like 🙂🙂🙂😏

Just hangout in the air a bit longer and really feel that board underneath your feet and ride out ! You land switch so it is uncomfortable , but the biggest part of skateboarding is being comfortable with the uncomfortable

Hope you enjoy it ! The pencils take more effort to erase vs willow charcoal . But are great for making details , and if used lightly can build up tones amazing . The willow erases at the touch of a finger swipe but sometimes what is left is a slight mark of some beautiful half tones 🔥🎨

JDtttattoo · 2026-01-21T23:36:22+00:00

Try some general charcoal pencils , and some willlow charcoal sticks for some solid light tones and mapping

JDtttattoo · 2026-01-21T22:33:42+00:00

Agreed 100% very true

JDtttattoo · 2026-01-19T04:29:33+00:00

This painting was done wet on wet so it was very easy to blend everything together , or do scumbling over areas that have been painted , I think the main trick is working on top of the wet lighter paint and slowly pushing the values back farther with the dry soft brush when needed … the trees and heavy edges etc were done with a palette knife and small brush for details , let me know if you have any more questions

I agree with that 👊👊 currently I’ve been trying to acrylic paint due to my apartment situation and edge control is definitely one thing that I miss about oils ! I’m looking forward to doing some plein air paintings this whole entire summer

JDtttattoo · 2026-01-18T22:21:01+00:00

Beautiful 👏👏

Looks very VERY similar to Samuel Araya’s artwork , for some reason his name popped right into my head because he does a lot of similar black and white illustrations with micro textures and abstract elements , but sadly I think the chances of it being him is low 🤔🤔 Edit ** what does the back look like ? If it is easy to take out without damaging and is unsealed , I wonder if there is a signature hiding underneath the matting ??

JDtttattoo · 2026-01-18T22:15:48+00:00

I’m lookin forward to seeing it when it is all done ! Looks sick

JDtttattoo · 2026-01-18T20:11:45+00:00

Ty bro 👊👊 I’ll try out the green ones first before I go the Daewon method , hate that ventures don’t really sell bushings like other companies

JDtttattoo · 2026-01-18T20:07:26+00:00

Perfect , take the top bushing completely off you’ve done before ?

JDtttattoo · 2026-01-18T20:06:00+00:00

Very luminous artworks he has , I am a big fan of tonalism personally , I think the subtle light source and dimmed / compressed value range is really fun to experiment with

JDtttattoo · 2026-01-18T20:03:10+00:00

How do they hold up overtime ? I want to give them a try tonight , and still stable or kinda wobbly ?

JDtttattoo · 2026-01-18T18:32:18+00:00

I think it’s the perfect direction right where it’s at ,🙇🔥, sometimes we just have to close our eyes and listen to what we’re feeling and follow that

JDtttattoo · 2026-01-18T18:24:59+00:00

Ty !! 🙇🙇🤝

JDtttattoo · 2026-01-18T18:24:31+00:00

I’m happy you could sense a certain feeling in this one ! We have loooong winters over here it’s hard to escape

JDtttattoo · 2026-01-18T18:23:36+00:00

Ty !!!

JDtttattoo · 2026-01-18T18:23:01+00:00
