I’ve had requests to see what my “process” is. I do lots and lots of tracing paper mapping of sections, & when I get everything exactly where I want it I transfer the mapping and dive in with painting. Any other questions, just let me know!! :) xoxo! #wip #workinprogress #paintingprocess #art #painting #popsurrealism #acrylic #illustration #modernart #stacksofidolcows
The “Kristen Method”= ya get stuck on one painting, move on to the next one, then on to the next one, then on to the next one, the back to the first one, repeat until all are finished. #workinprogress #wip #art #painting #acrylic #popsurrealism #modernart #animalsinart #exhibits #galleryshows #imaypaintslowbutatleastimpainting

Buddy Nestor is an amazing painter. He’s been doing a series of portraits called “Every Girl Goes To Hell”, and he did a portrait of me! His work is beautiful and eerie and fully unsettling- which makes it awesome. You can see his other work here
Yay!!!!
