paint

I’m 32 days into a 100 day project of little paintings to reclaim moments of creative joy with no strings attached – a daily reminder of what made me want to be an “artist” in the first place. I’m posting daily on my Instagram account @stephdillondesign

Oil painting, imaginary.

It was absolutely necessary that I sit still and paint today and here are the unfinished results so far.

I am still learning how to use watercolor correctly. Let me know how you find this one.

The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (Toki o kakeru shôjo) is one of my favorite anime movies. I really like all Mamoru Hosoda's anime. Can't wait for his new stuff!

This painting was derived from a collage of my own photos. The location is just south of Wawa Ontario Canada

A concept image for a picture book story.

Kind of a style experiment. Took the elements from my 70's sci-fi book cover homage and remixed them in a more stylized, painterly way.

Daryl Dixon from The Walking Dead fanart i've made almost 4 years ago, still love this character even though i'm no longer watching the show :(

Bloom where you are painted

My grandma is a craftswoman . She used to work at a Talavera pottery studio and sometimes I would skip school and join her at work. She would give me an imperfect blank pottery piece and lend me her painting supplies so I could create my own art.

Pigeon, acrylic on paper, roughly 5" by 7"
