Deer Skull with Dagger oil study

Deer Skull with Dagger | oil study from life

After traveling or attending a big event like Spectrum Live, I usually take a short break from client work to recuperate. Doing studies like this can be a good way to relax, as they don't require much planning, but I still get to move paint around and learn things. It's like an appetizer - an art snack - before a bigger meal.
