Watching Paint Dry
A look at my painting process

I wrote a pretty extensive post about how I started writing and illustrating children’s books here. I promise this will be shorter.
For those who think my paintings/drawings/whateveryouwanttocallthem look pretty, I am going to break down the process real quick.
- A real loose sketch on paper
2. Redraw that sketch on Dura-lar
3. Draw over the sketch in oil stick
3. Add pigment (I use watered down acrylic paint)
4. Let it dry, this is where the beautiful textures happen.
5. Um, there is no 5 — those 4 steps are it
