I miss painting, have not done it for more than a decade, perhaps mylot friends would be interested to see what I did I use to paint but sort of lost time to do it, I painted in the realism genre, the ones in the picture are game fowls that I painted, oh wait, before animal rights people start reacting, cock fighting is a National pastime in my country, but I won't go into that, I simply want to show my less serious work done in pastel ( my more serious works were always done in oil paint. So pastel is just basically chalk, and where I finished the fine lines with colored pencil. Like I mentioned I paint realist style, that is I paint what I see with much emphasis on detail , so let's say I paint denim pants, I do not just paint it blue but I have to paint every crease conforming to where the sun is at or perhaps every thread lol! , but its not as hard as it seems since I use a technique that in French is called "Trompe-l'œil" or fooling the eye, similar to how magicians fools us. I am not a close realist cause once I did portrait painting and I never wanted to paint every pore , freckle or eye bag especially with the ladies so I tend to romanticize lol and I also had dreams at a young age to paint " ala " John Constable but using Philippine scenery. Oh yes, I received tutelage, informally from 3 Philippine contemporary masters, just about it and hope you like my roosters, sorry but I already got to sell these years ago lol!
