This was the first time I've used a painting pad. It allowed me to work quickly and loosely without using a canvas. The upside is the surface is nice and smooth. The downside is it's not as well gessoed as a canvas--especially since i usually coat a new canvas with a thin layer of white acrylic paint. This painting was inspired by one I saw online. I'm thinking of doing a series of loosely rendered fruits and vegetables. Suggestions welcome. I also think doing one before starting a painting session will loosen me up.
My love of the arts began early on in life and was greatly influenced by an inspiring photography teacher in high school. I began teaching myself to paint in 2019 and have had my work exhibited in numerous shows in the Detroit area. One of the joys of being an artist is looking at the world in totally different ways and discovering a painting or photograph in a million unexpected places. For inquiries: dominmark@yahoo.com
