Studio note — a small mezzotint from 2019, kept as a trial proof for its velvety blacks. Image first; details below. I found my past Mezzotint work of 2019. This was just test print but I put my signature anyway. I love printmaking work especially “Mezzotint “.

I been working for this work since last month. Still working on.

Happy Thanksgiving from New York. This is a mixed-media process study  from my studio—an image I love for its pearly glazes and shifting textures. The motif was later developed in collaboration with AURUM LOCUS  as some goods designs. For original paintings, please browse the Painting archive .

Studio note from today: I mixed my own white oil paint and recorded the feel of the grind—the sheen, the weight, the stickiness. Below are close-ups and a work-in-progress. Today is fun day! I made white oil color (Titanium white + egg + linseed oil) with glass grinder . Use egg for oil colors is very classic recipe ever since Rembrandt. I love work with glass grinder. Oil color with egg makes nice mass thick texture just like picture. 今日は楽しい絵の具練り作業♪ 厚みを出す為のチタン白＋全卵＋リンシードオイルと

I did this underpainting almost 20 years ago. Use silver powder and mixed media. Fortunately the colors are still great and no oxidate because I did put coating several times on surface soon after I did this. ...However I still don't know "What should I paint onto??" so I am beginning to think "Let's leave this way as my first abstract work"..... See more abstract works and mixed-media studies , and inquire about availability or commissions.

I found my old work which stopped and abandoned about 8 years ago? Looks like middle of imprimatur progress. But I think the painting...
