Working art studio in public.
Here I share painting and drawing as it actually happens—studies, experiments, master copies, and long stretches of problem-solving. You’ll find edited videos, short process moments, and regular early-morning open studio sessions, where I paint live and unedited before the day takes over.
This channel focuses on how paintings are made, not just how they look: thinking through composition, color, materials, mistakes, and persistence over time.
If you’re interested in the creative side of working life—making art while holding a job—I also explore that conversation on my companion channel, Wage Slave Creative, where I talk about resistance, fear, discipline, and sustaining a creative practice under real-world constraints.
Slow work. Real process. Open doors.
