Landscape

This is and always will be one of my favourite types of painting. From when I first started painting when I was only young, I loved depicting natural scenery such as mountains, valleys, trees, rivers, and forests. The vibrance and uniqueness of each & every sky was one of the main aspects I tried to capture in many of these works.

This is a type of painting I’ve worked on through the years. I think it’s a type of painting that every artist tries at one time or another as it is one of the simplest setups. It allows enormous variation from inanimate objects like glassware, bottles, china, etc. to flowers, plants, fruits, etc. or even a combination of both. Although this variation makes an incredibly hard type to master it also provides huge enjoyment to experiment with.

Portraits

This is only a new type of painting for me. Although I loved trying to capture the different facial features in each portrait that allows the viewer to instantly recognize the subject.
