I think I might paint more Koi fish… it was a lot of fun and I think I can do better.

I took last week off to spend time with my family and it was great! Now I am getting back into the studio and it can be hard to start. So, I’m doing a bit of a color study with my CMY palette by painting a color wheel on a canvas panel. #colorwheel #cmyk #cmycolorwheel #acrylic #acrylicpaint

✨ NEW EPISODE ✨ I sit down to talk with @ryanbarnesart.bsky.social . We dig into Ryan’s art practice, and he shares the ongoing development of the "void" series, which explores themes of disconnection and change. Find the episode and all the links, at www.elleandwink.com/podcast/s3e10

Did a little homework and put the art club assignment from Blue Period (anime and manga) into a challenge format for myself and other artists to take advantage of and try. Read about it here: ryanbarnesart.tumblr.com/post/7764713... #artchallenge #artassignment #artistsofbluesky #artistsofbsky

With a few shows coming up this year, I took some time to better organize my portfolio and take it up a notch. www.ryanbarnes.art

Sold my first original painting! (Untitled Voice, acrylic on canvas.) It's been a rough couple of years to say the least but mile stones like this help me know I am on the right path for myself and my family. The horrors persist but so do I.

Finished part two of my Koi fish painting where I revisit the Art Academy (Nintendo 3DS) lesson but this time I did my own study and used the tutorial as more of a guideline. I like how this one came out a lot more. #acrylic #acrylicpaint #koi #koifish #contemporaryart #artistsonbsky #art

Started recording and editing an intro to a video only to come to find the audio is a bit off. Need to adjust mic levels on camera and my Rode Wireless Go II mics to fix and rerecord on Monday.

Due to snow related closures, I’ll be spending time with the family today playing in the snow and do a late start for studio work.

Finished my Koi Fish Part 1 acrylic painting. I'm working on a video comparing lessons and skills learned in Art Academy to real world materials. This is the result of following the lesson as close as possible. The next painting I'll do will be of the same subject but free to mix my own colors.

Got a new light for my easel and it really did help me be able to see the different colors and tones in my work much better than before. #koifish #painting #acrylicpainting #acrylic #artistsoninstagram #wip #workinprogress #art #traditionalart #3DS #artacademy3ds #nintendo

Probably not a project for this week (working on two koi fish paintings and a video) but my canvas stretcher bars came in! 15” and 20” and enough to make 3 canvases. These are reserved for my void painting actual series and requires I wrap raw canvas to prime myself.

This Saturday morning I get to hang out with my 2 year old daughter as my wife goes to a work conference thing. She already helped me potty the dog, Blackberry.

Ground stage done and the ripped masking tape came out exactly as I had hoped it would. Still need to find a cheap lighting solution because this room EATS light and these photos do NOT show how dark the painting looks in that room. #wip #acrylicpaint #painting

Video production log post! I’m tackling this thing out of order but it’ll buff out in the end. Still on the fence about doing this as a series of videos or a one off. Leaning towards one off because I already want to work on other projects. www.tumblr.com/ryanbarnesar...

Time to activate my super power: chill with a mug of coffee and maybe take a nap. (I have minimal spoons today.)

Prepping my canvas panel and decided I wanted to try a more textured edge by ripping the tape. Not sure how it will come out but I’m excited for the results regardless! #canvas #canvaspreparation #acrylicpainting #acrylic #wipwednesday #wip

Originally I wasn’t going to share this piece I made in November of last year but after these past couple weeks I feel it’s… appropriate. Mental Health, acrylic on canvas, 12 x 12 inches.

So I’ve started posting on tumblr more and… ya’ll… I’m getting some good engagement over there. Just saying if anyone else is in the market for a blog platform or place to post their art, give it a shot and leverage the communities feature too. ryanbarnesart.tumblr.com

Today has been a weird day to say the least. Just trying to focus on what I can control. Just trying to make my art and my dream happen. Stay safe out there friends.

Made 5 posts over on Tumblr. So far, the platform has been fairly active and engaging with my work. Doubly so when utilizing communities. ryanbarnesart.tumblr.com

I was playing around in Rebelle 7 this morning and OMG I love it. I need to change some hotkeys around on my tablet but I absolutely LOVE the intuitive color mixing.
