I thought I might underwhelm your senses with some of my recent projects. In early 2023, I started drawing using pencils and watercolors. In 2025, I took an oil painting class. As an art student, I thought it would be a good opportunity to share some of my efforts with my readers.
I have divided my work into the following categories:
Pencil Art
Watercolor Paintings
Oil Paintings
Please visit my Art Gallery to see my very humble efforts.
