Oil Painting a Skull Still Life From Start to Finish (TIME-LAPSE)

In this video, I walk you through an abridged version of my process from start to finish of the oil painting, "Make A Wish" (Oil on Panel, 11" x 14", 2023).

Awesome work as always! I have so much more to learn, but your classes and videos have definitely helped my understanding of light and color!

[@michaeljohnnolan]

Thank you so much, Carissa! Not to worry, we all do. And that is wonderful! You will reach your full potential so quickly. You will be painting better than me so fast. :)

Omg, how did I miss this awesome video. I love your introductions in each video and the music background as well. Love the detailed work entirely. I honestly believe patience is the key to continue learning and practicing to overcome blocks. Back in August, I experienced the artist block moment while making a painting for a friend. Not sure what happened, but suddenly I stopped and couldn’t continue. A week ago, I began thatch your older videos to get me going. Getting there but not so fast. This time I’m analyzing the project better and taking the time I need. Each of your videos are giving me the confidence to go on at my own pace. Thanks so much for your videos, your teachings and your advice. Winter has set up here in Champaign, Illinois temperatures in the high 20’s. Which means more time inside and more painting. Now time to g caught up with the new videos. Have a great week, take care and be safe.

Hello again! Great to hear from you. I appreciate all of your kindness and love. I am so glad you like the newer videos. I am humbled that in anyway I can help you start producing art again. For me getting through any block is by continued practice. As the momentum builds, it will get easier and easier to produce unlocking your creativity. Again for me, I just draw and paint random things with no pressure of an outcome or with the expectation of having to show anyone. Again, it is all about building the momentum. Thank you again. I wish you all the best of luck. Cold weather = more painting time. Yay! Take care!
