Figure Study with Natural Subject Stance

Figure study with natural subject stance. #painting #art #artist #portrait #portraitart #portraiture #portraitpainting

The subject of this post is another figure study on 12 x 12 oil paper. With this one, I tried to practice a very natural pose and stance, with a back curve and fabric folds that seemed realistic to some extent. I’ll follow my standard format here, which is to share an image of the painting, the Instagram time lapse, and some of the verbiage I used on social media. Then, I’ll embed the YouTube…

Bright Light Depiction in Oil Painting

Bright Light Depiction in Oil Painting - includes a 20 second time lapse and a longer discussion via youtube. #oilpainting #art #artist #portrait #painting

My latest painting is another figure study on 12 x 12 oil paper. With this one, I tried to really emphasize a bright light source behind the subject. I think I was able to accomplish this for the most part, but I can see it’s something I need to practice a bit more. I’ll follow my standard format here, which is to share an image of the painting, the Instagram time lapse, and some of the verbiage…

Last Painting of 2023, Oil on Paper

Last Painting of 2023, Oil on Paper. Going to skip over 100+ paintings so I can catch up on the blog, here's one of my latest portraits. #artist #art #painting #portrait

Perhaps I’ve finally found the solution to my massive blog post backlog. As I mentioned in my last post, I’m almost comically behind on sharing art here – about 8 months and 110ish paintings at this point. It’s such an odd notion, considering how much of a proponent of blogging I once was. But, as an experience artist once advised, considering my limited available hobby time, I had to decide…

Redoing an Old Portrait, May 2023 Painting

Redoing an Old Portrait, May 2023 Painting #art #artist #portrait #painting

Going back in time to May 2023, here is an oil painting I did around that time based on when it was shared to the Amdall Gallery Instagram. This post will include a static image of the piece, an embed of the time lapse video, and then some verbiage from when I wrote about the painting on social media at the time. So, keep in mind what’s written here is a bit of a time capsule. At this point, I’m…

Late February Oil Paintings

Late February Oil Paintings. Looking back at some of my paintings from earlier in the year.

I admit, my idea of making posts simpler/shorter to catch up on sharing paintings did not at al work. I’m about 70 paintings behind, which is a deficit that’s only increasing. So, I’m going to try some batches of paintings again. I can probably group some based on when they were done. I’ve got three that seem to make sense together chronologically, so here are a few from late February 2023. Let’s…

Woman on Speakerphone Portrait

Portrait oil painting of a woman on a speakerphone (originally painted in February) #art #painting #portrait

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jon Amdall (@amdallgallery)  It’s kind of interesting to look back at this portrait. It was my 49th oil painting, which at the time of writing this, was 64 paintings ago. It’s kind of wild to think I’m that far behind in blogging – this was done in February, and I’ve painted more in the time since then than I had in total when I did this one. So, it’s…

Portrait of an Older Guy Pondering

Portrait of an Older Guy Pondering. This is probably 6 months old now - clearly I've fallen farther behind on blogging. #art #painting #portrait

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jon Amdall (@amdallgallery) I’m so incredibly far behind now in sharing paintings, and it seems like there’s not much I can do to address it. I’ve tried batching multiple into one post, and I’ve tried simplifying my posts as well. But it just seems I am vastly more interested in painting than I am blogging. Not really a problem exactly – I am enjoying…

A Sad Expression, Portrait Oil Painting

A Sad Expression, Portrait Oil Painting. This post is about a painting I did attempting to depict a sad expression. #sad #expression #art #painting #portrait #artist #oilpainting #oilpaint #timelapse #expressive #oil

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jon Amdall (@amdallgallery) Around the time of this painting, I was thinking about how often I paint similar things. As you can tell from a quite browse of this site, I pretty consistently share head and shoulders portraits of people. Occasionally, I’ll branch out into a figure study, a pet, or even a rare landscape. But usually, I practice similar…

Portrait of Lady in a Dark Room

Portrait of Lady in a Dark Room, oil on paper. Another attempt to practice some aspects that aren't my strongest - in this case, dark backgrounds and scenes. #portrait #painting #art #artist #oilpaint #lady #dark #expression

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jon Amdall (@amdallgallery) This painting of a woman in a dark room is another portrait study in my efforts to practice specific areas that aren’t my strongest. There are a few aspects of portrait painting that come to mind, but one in particular goes back even to my colored pencil days. I’ve talking about this before in more depth, but for a long…

Jon Amdall Self Portrait

Jon Amdall Self Portrait - hey that's me. Some brief thoughts on painting myself and how it can be a good way to see progress. #selfportrait #painting #learning #art #portrait #progress

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jon Amdall (@amdallgallery) Self Portrait of Jon Amdall, oil on paper. It might be sort of weird how I’m phrasing this title – a “Jon Amdall Self Portrait”…painted by Jon Amdall…written by Jon Amdall. That’s a lot of weird third person references. But, since it’s the latest painting I’ve done of myself, and I’d kind of like to index this thing and…

Relaxed Pose Capstone Figure Painting

Relaxed Pose Capstone Figure Painting. This was an attempt at using what I had learned at a certain point in time a few months ago - not a bad effort, but didn't turn out quite as I hoped. #painting #art #figure #portrait #study

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jon Amdall (@amdallgallery) Relaxed Post Figure Painting, oil on paper. When I started this painting, I had some vague notions of treating it sort of like a capstone project. Although I’ve done over 80 paintings now, at the point in time when I painted this one, I had done somewhere in the mid-40s. I really felt like I was starting to get into the…

Lady with Sunflowers Oil Painting

Lady with Sunflowers Oil Painting - a blog post mostly about getting out of my comfort zone and trying new things painting-wise. I'm still months behind, but trying to catch up. #painting #portrait #art #artist #oilpaint

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jon Amdall (@amdallgallery) I might say this too often, but the oil painting featured in this post seems to represent somewhat of a milestone for me. It’s of a lady with sunflowers behind her, and is another attempt at a partial figure study rather than the usual head-and-shoulders portrait I tend to roll with. It’s noteworthy to me because right…
