This is another one of my Alice paintings. I like to try to serialize some of my paintings. A couple of days ago, I had made a bit of a dud. I wanted to try to make a piece that was political or some nonsense, but then I got bored and annoyed. I ended up smooshing the colors with a sponge and it turned into some abstract nonsense.
As such, I wanted to paint something that actually looked good. I was down to my final canvas and it was pretty big. It was then when I thought of the Rooster idea. Roosters are pretty nice birds. They are not painted often in the States because people here are a bunch of prudes.
These days you can’t say anything without a special interest group finding it insulting. It gets rather bothersome, don’t you think? It is impossible to try to be a people pleaser. Anyhow, due to the size of the canvas, it took about two days to make. The dress is something of my own design.
At first I was going to make the rooster black, but then I decided against it. I thought that the silver look was kinda cool. If I had gone with the black color, I would have had problems with the lines of the maiden’s hands. The background is Hot Pink because of the 80s.
I wanted people to grow a mullet while staring at it. It is a reference to the Nerd that brother sees daily. We like hearing about old timey Nintendo games. Such games were one of the few happy stuff of our childhood. The maiden is also unique because it is the first time I added makeup to a girl in a painting. I used metallic paints.
The skin came out a bit tanned, but it looks fine under the right light. Skin tone is so hard to make. I am not a big fan of mixing colors because I tend to waste a lot of paint. Speaking of wasting, I got myself some tiny canvases and some pouring paintings.
I am going to be practicing making pouring paintings at a small scale. I hope you find the final results amusing. The paintings are going to look big because of the size of the canvas. Aside from that, I got a diamond painting kit for my mother. She saw one and it seemed like an amusing hobby to try.
One has to try just about anything to try to keep sane, thanks to all the douches who did massive gatherings without wearing a mask. Well, enough about the world. There is no point in thinking about a problem that you have no way of remedying. I think I should talk about the painting a bit. T
he painting was done with US Art Supply Paints and Liquitex. I also used a bit of Winsor and Newton acrylics. The glitter was added with a toothbrush. I used Liquitex pouring medium as a glue to bind the glitter. The canvas was made by Arteza. I took the photo of the painting without adding Varnish.
I used a flash to make the acrylic colors shine. It was the only way to show the effect. I know most people do not use a flash with paintings. I don’t worry too much about that nonsense because I doubt I will care about anything when I become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.
I hope you get the joke. If not, then too bad. The Varnish I used was a mix of gloss and matte. They cancel each other out, and they maintain some of the shine. I think this is about it. I hope your life is going amazingly.
