I work primarily in acrylics but often employ other mediums including gesso, watercolor crayons, graphite, and ink. I seldom work from resource photos, preferring to find my way experimentally. While I always focus on fundamentals such as color, value, and composition, my primary goal is to use images as content, hopefully engaging each viewer to find personal meaning in the image. To me, a painting should be more than just a pretty face!
