I've seen the greatest growth in my oil paintings. When I first started oil painting, I followed a Bob Ross tutorial, and it didn't look that great. I didn't touch oil paints for a few years after that. I did it again a few other times and it was better, but when I learned how to paint with oils in class, it was a much better experience. There were a lot more realistic...]]></description><link>https://glantdavis123.wixsite.com/lehdbug/post/reflection-essay</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a0b1b902fd8b3b696965593</guid><pubDate>Mon, 18 May 2026 14:15:38 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/a40036_9540cfa294b941bda544f02e9f816c64~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>L Davis</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Abstract Painting]]></title><description><![CDATA[I started by creating a wash for the painting, consisting of a very light blue and red. Then I used charcoal and "doodled" how I felt that day. With those same colors, I outlined the charcoal and added extra shapes like circles or a few triangles I mixed together white, with a tiny bit of yellow. I added a few lines with that combination. Using white, I made more shapes. Then I made a mini painting in the corners with the thick paint. This consisted of three colors: dark red, a deep yellow,...]]></description><link>https://glantdavis123.wixsite.com/lehdbug/post/abstract-painting</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69f2146bd3f2ae6dd916fce7</guid><pubDate>Sun, 17 May 2026 19:24:32 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/a40036_0f4f75c9f39b4fe18e808d7859f237da~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>L Davis</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Reaction to Olga Rokhmanyuk ]]></title><description><![CDATA[As soon as I saw Olga's artwork, I immediately loved the composition and how dream-like it is. The overall use of light and dark colors is what really drew me into the art piece. There is a clear intention for what she created, but it's done in an abstract way where it's not that realistic. This artwork also has no visible light source; everything has its own special highlights and brightness. All the colors in general are as if she drew them while they were under a UV light.

I worked on the eyes and the nose a lot more, in addition to the mouth. During this stage, I was refining my face and finally putting on the hair.
