This drawing is Glazed. My unGlazed art is available for Ko-Fi supporters!
Here's the finished artwork since the video doesn't do the up-close textures justice, pretty happy with this for my first proper go at oil pastels 🌈
it really is insane how waking up early will grant you access to some of the most beautiful sights and sensations in the world that will make you want to live forever, but only if you overcome the gauntlet of a thousand razors that is getting out of bed early. truly one of life's little saw traps.
You have a February face, so full of frost, of storm, and cloudiness.

for the global strike, I painted a scene from pre-Nakba Palestine with the colors of the Palestinian flag. from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.
here is the reference photo I used, which I downloaded from the Palestine Photo Project. it is a view of Bethlehem in 1945.
last night I dreamed that the moon was angry and swept aside the clouds to cast down the full force of her reflected brilliance. she loves the earth, but the earth loves the sun.
I love how different forms of art are all obsessed with each other. A book tries to capture the feeling of music, a painting tries to depict a scene in a book, a song tries to paint a picture. And it's always insufficient. No single form of art can encapsulate another form of art and capture the essence of it – but it tries, and its attempts are impossibly compelling. All the forms of art are in love with each other and spend so much time trying to express what makes the other kinds of art so lovely.

The more despair I endure in life, the more I love Frodo. I'm just. I'm so glad that Tolkien wrote him like that. He was a hero and it broke him. He was given too much to carry. The circumstances were dire, everyone was doing the best they could, and Frodo tried so hard, for such a good cause, and he...broke. And the narrative has pity for him, the characters show him kindness. Even after victory, his hurts did not heal, and it isn't considered his fault. He must go to the undying lands, to seek out peace there. In universe, he is forgiven for being human - don't be pedantic - and his great torment is recognized. He fell. He could not have done it alone. He is still a hero.
And, I think that's important.
