B.Legit Studios

So it's been over a year since I have added to my blog. A lot has happened this past year, but one hobby I have picked up is painting. I began painting about two or three years ago with acrylics, but was unsatisfied with their appearance. I was honestly a bit intimidated by oils due to the turpentines and other liquids (some toxic) required. I had heard about water based oils from some artist friends and discovered them in a local hobby store. Well, within the past few months I have developed an interest in this medium. I've spent many hours up late, usually Friday and Saturday nights, at the kitchen table or at my art easel listening to good music and painting. Some of the paintings have worked...and others have flopped. I have made progress and have self-taught me some techniques. I was given a suggestion by a few people to try to sell my paintings (at least the ones that worked)... and after a little work, I've already sold three paintings. The kids at most of my schools have called me "Mr. Legit" as a joke. I've used this name with B for Bryan to create my business name "B.Legit Studios." I have an Etsy account and my first painting sold about three weeks ago to a lady in Maryland. Since then I have sold two others to a neighbor. These sales have inspired me to paint even more. It is truly a hobby I will enjoy the rest of my life...and I hope others can enjoy the results.
