My name is Andrew, and I like to paint. I’ve been painting as a hobby for over 20 years, in mediums including watercolor, oil, acrylic, and spray paint. My most recent medium is the airbrush, which I began learning late last year. I’ve found it incredibly enjoyable yet challenging. I like the ability to build up the colors in layers, but at the same time it’s easy to overwork an area and make it too dark. However, I love a challenge, and the learning process has been fun.
My airbrush paintings began with portraits of my cat, Oliver, who I found had a very expressive face. After numerous “Oliver” paintings, I decided to branch out and began asking friends and coworkers for photos of their pets. This gallery is a result of those requests.
While I enjoy painting pets, I’ve been known to paint landscapes and abstract scenes as well. However, painting pet portraits has been extremely rewarding, and I plan to continue. If you would like to have an airbrush portrait of your pet, you can contact me on BlueSky.
