How long does it take you to complete a piece? This varies depending on the complexity and materials used. Oil as an example takes longer to dry if layering other mediums. The time can be from a few hours to several days.
Do you work from reference photos? Most of my work I use reference photos, some are from imagination. Even when using reference photos though - I often embellish or eliminate portions of the photo for artistic preferences.
How do you choose your subjects or themes? I mostly use animals in my work. Each subject “speaks to me” and I become compelled to paint it.
