These last couple of months, changes at work had me go back to studying art fundamentals. It started with conversations with my mentor which led to books and eventually, to the realization that I had to make my first steps in the daunting world of painting.

Here's that first painting! A photo study, largely influenced by the work of Aleksander Rostov.

Big thanks to my mate Nico who never stopped telling me to check my values. I know what to work on next thanks to you ;)
