THe lightcast in this painting is exquisite! Like how the orange of the cantaloupe contrasts with the rest of the dark tones. Excellent!

I love the style of this!
And I adore how you made the fruit look like it was glowing (I don't know if it was intentional or not, but it's really cool.)

Great painting!! I noticed you use maroger or neo-megilp in many of your paintings. I don't know much about maroger and have had minimal experience w/ neo-meglip, but I thought that neo was [supposed to be] the "new maroger." The fact that you use both must mean that they do not do the same thing to the paint. Can you briefly tell me why you use one over the other? From what I can see, the maroger paintings seem "richer/deeper" in the dark areas, but perhaps it's my imagination. Thanks!

Maroger is handles better but is harder to come by. I get mine from my school, who makes it. I use neo-megilp for convenience. It has a much milder odor than maroger, so it's better for painting at home in my small apartment. Neo-megilp is still great, but I do like maroger better, as it has more 'body'.

Amazing- (as always!! you've far become one of my favorite artists) I have to ask, because I've been wanting to ask for a while, do you have an explanation of your process anywhere? It looks like you have an under layer of a color/strokes, and then maybe do a rough version with the colors, and then use the fan brush over that to.. smooth/blend it out in some areas, (not sure that's how I want to put that) and then do final brush strokes on top of that DX All guesses. I don't know, just so curious
