Today, I wanted to show you my latest ink art paintings. I was trying to do basic abstract shapes.
So, I chose to make heart paintings of all the colors of the rainbow. I am exaggerating a bit.
I mostly did primary and secondary colors. The painting was done with Pixiss ink and paper.
I especially like the paper. It is just perfect for these types of ink arts. I have enough paper to make 100 ink art paintings.
So, you can expect to see more of these types of artworks in the near future. In both paintings, I took photographs of their wet and dry forms.
It is interesting to watch paint dry. Sometimes the dried final version looks completely or slightly different from the wet form.
Since ink is a fluid medium, it tends to move about as the paint settles. I also photographed a few painting details.
The first painting I am going to show you features two beating green hearts. There is a half on the top and on the bottom.
They are pulsing a green aura. As the pulses collide, they form interesting patterns.
I used two different shades of green in order to make both hearts stand out.
I also fancied that it might create a point of interest.
To balance this painting, I used the color red. I placed a red hue in between all the ripples.
I added white ink into the red hue in order to give it an interesting pattern.
This made the red hue pulsate with life.
It also made the background contrast with the foreground.
I ended up making a bit of a split complimentary scheme.
I think overall it was an interesting effort.
The second painting I wanted to show you features two purple hearts.
They are generating a pulsing aura that resembles a butterfly.
Both purple hearts are in harmony with each other.
To create a split complementary scheme, I added green and orange to the background.
They are the split compliments of purple.
It is useful to make paintings with a color wheel beside you.
I even read a useful book on the subject.
As much fun as it is to experiment, sometimes you want to remove all the guesswork from your artwork.
I added white dots into the purple haze.
This gave it good vibration.
I am still learning how to work with these ink bottles.
For the time being, these two are the last heart paintings that I am going to make.
Variety is the spice of life.
Don’t be afraid to try a new craft.
Who knows? You might just discover that you like painting.
Well. I ranted enough for one day. My name is Teresita Blanco, the Artsy Sister. Bye, bye and God bless.
