Started going in with oil paint over the top of the acrylic underpainting. You guys asked lots of great questions on my last video about this technique! If that was you, then THANK YOU!! . To add a bit of clarity I do a detailed drawing with black and white colored pencil on gray tone paper. I then scan that drawing so I can print out a copy on Strathmore 500 series Bristol paper. Next I mount that paper onto a piece of wood using acrylic matte medium as the glue. I then sand and apply about 3 coats of matte medium (allowing each layer to dry) to create a smooth and clear surface to paint on. Using this method I can still see my printed drawing underneath and I still have my original drawing that I can use as reference throughout the painting process. . Hope that helps!!! . . . #art #instaart #arting #oc #artoftheday #paintingswow #fantasydaily #fantasyart #darkfantasyart #darkart #surrealism #fantasyillustration #artwip #artworkinprogress #timelapseart #artvideo #artvideos #processvideo #timelapsepainting #artprocess #workinprogress #notfinished #unfinishedart #artcollecting #artcollectors #oilonpaper #oilonboard #samflegal #fatefulsignsAwhile back my Tyr painting was turned into a meme by Justjakmemes. I recently found it while going through some old files and it made me laugh. Hopefully it makes you laugh too! . . . #norsegods #norsemythology #valhalla #warrior #vikingstyle #vikinglife #northmen #asatru #heathen #pagan #norsepagan #pagansofinstagram #weirdoart #darkart #occultart #darkfantasyart #tyr #fenris #fenrir #odinism #vikinglegends #vikingmemes #meme #samflegal #fatefulsignsGullveig was speared and burned three times by the Aesir and three times she was reborn. On the third time she became the Queen of Witches. . . Blocking in the basic textures for my painting of Gullveig. Acrylic paint is great for getting textures. I use water and paper towels to blot at the paint. It's a fun technique if you've never tried it, give it a shot! . . . #arting #artoftheday #paintingswow #fantasyillustration #artwip #artworkinprogress #norsegods #norsemythology #runes #vikingstyle #vikinglife #vikingwomen #asatru #norsepagan #pagansofinstagram #paganwitch #witchlife #witchesofinstagram #witchsociety #horrorartist #darktransmissions #occultart #timelapseart #artvideo #artvideos #process video #timelapsepainting #artprocess #samflegal #fatefulsignsAll set up in Memphis, TN for Mid South Con where I am the Artist Guest of Honor this weekend!

It was so cool I asked if I could share it. What an amazing set up! I am always honored to find my art used in people's spiritual practice. Hail! . . Here's some of the details: . Couple of prints of Thor. (Mine and another artist. Do you recognize the other print?) A wood burning of ravens Joseph did himself. A piece of patchwork that his aunt did using squares that my grandmother had cut but never got to use. A small wooden box with a carved mjolnir on top that contains a set of wooden runes. A horn offering bowl. (In the bowl are some orange candy slices.) Also a copper wire mjolnir pendant made by one of Joseph's friends. Under the bowl is an antler handled ceremonial knife. Also under the bowl, a pocket knife that belonged to Joseph's other grandfather. Two wooden offering cups. A couple of pendants, a ring, and a beard ring. A candle votive and candle. Another pendant. Another ceremonial knife. Bone blade and antler handle. A linen cloth to help define the space (even though the items do overflow). . . . #witchesofinstagram #paganwitch #norsemythology #norsepagan #asatru #pagansofinstagram #witchlife #norsegods #valhalla #runes #vikingstyle #vikinglife #northmen #heathen #occultism #witchystuff #occultart #odinism #inkdrawingart #inkdrawing #inkyart #fatefulsigns #samflegal #heathensofinstagram #heathenry #pagansofigWhat are you drawing today? . Drawing some hands today. Sometimes the hands take longer than drawing a face. So many intricate movement, and so much storytelling in hands! . . . . #art #instaart #arting #oc #artoftheday #fantasyart #fantasyillustration #artwip #artworkinprogress #drawingoftheday #fantasydrawing #timelapseart #artvideo #artvideos #processvideo #timelapsedrawing #artprocess #darkart #macabreart #occultart #norsegods #norsepagan #pagansofinstagram #occult #witchesofinstagram #fatefulsigns #samflegal #drawinghands #handstudyAdding in the white, with colored pencil, on my drawing of "Gullveig" from Norse Mythology. This is one of my favorite parts of drawing on tone paper. I save it for one of the last steps usually for maximum impact. Really close to being done with this drawing at this point! . . . #witchesofinstagram #artwip #artworkinprogress #paganwitch #norsemythology #sketch_art #fantasydrawing #drawingoftheday #norsegods #valhalla #runes #vikingstyle #vikinglife #vikingwomen #asatru #heathen #norsepagan #witchlife #occult #weirdoart #darkart #occultart #timelapseart #artvideo #artvideos #processvideo #timelapsepainting #artprocess #samflegal #fatefulsignsIn honor of International Women's Day, my wife encouraged me to post a few of my paintings from my Norse Mythology Series, Fateful Signs, that show strong women. Norse Myth is full of wonderful stories of women who are badass, so naturally I was happy to oblige my wife! . The paintings are: Freya Resists Liberty or Death Freya's Due Frigg, Lady of Secrets . Happy International Women's Day!!! . . If you like strong women and support International Women's Day please comment! . . . . #witchesofinstagram #paganwitch #norsemythology #womensday #womensday2019 #womensdayeveryday #internationalwomensday2019 #8thmarch #internationalwomenday #norsegods #valhalla #vikingwomen #asatru #norsepagan #witchery #witchystuff #samflegal #fatefulsigns #pagansofinstagram #witchlife #shieldmaiden #paintingswow #fantasyart #fantasyillustration #freya #frigg #frigga #valkyrieArchives
