Bourbon Whiskey marker sketch on Canson Toned Tan. The liquid is actually a mix of yellows, oranges, and skin tones. White accents are done with white charcoal pencil. It’s finished off with a variety of Micron pens. I used a brush pen for the pour to get the transitioning grades of black. Dig the reflection!…

This boat painting was a commissioned birthday present for a coworker. Painted using acrylics on a 36×48 canvas. This is one of the largest canvases I’ve painted on. I wanted to capture the sparkly blue paint on the top portion of the boat so I got a special bottle of glitter acrylic to cover the…
