It’s easy to make a painting look like paint, but it’s much harder to make a painting that pulls in a viewer so completely that he feels the heat of sun on his neck and the sand in his shoes.~ James Gurney.
I’m a self-taught artist who is in love with fantasy illustrations and nature representations, with a current focus on underwater scenery and sea life.
Traditional mediums of choice include oil colors, acrylics, watercolors, charcoal, and graphite pencils (both wood and mechanical). My favorite of the lot for painting being the oils, using brands like Winsor & Newton Artists’ Oil Colors, Utrecht Artists’ Colors, and Michael Harding colors. My favorite brushes are from Rosemary & Co.
As for digital illustrations and photo editing my main weapon is Photoshop, along with Blender3D if any 3D work is required.

Where’s the Hamster?
A painting of Angel fish swiming in the murkey waters of the Amazon river.
I love the color displays of Koi fish.
