acrylic, drawing, floral, flower, flowers -

I made two new henna tattoo inspired art. I just like the patterns of the henna tattoos. I used smootherpro acrylic markers to make these artworks. Acrylic markers are useful for painting on top of each other. They have the same layering capabilities as traditional acrylics. So, if you make a mistake you can just paint over it. The first drawing features two flowers. Both have the same colors both arranged differently.  One is also bigger than the other. I start from the center and then work my way outward. The second drawing features only one flower. I started with...

acrylic, drawing, mandala -

I made new Mandala art. I used Grabie Pens and paper to make these artworks. I started from the center, before expanding artwork. These mandala drawings are pretty relaxing to make.  This time I used white, dark blue and purple paper. I wanted to see how the colors looked in different shades of paper. So far, the pens look best in black or dark blue paper.  I still need to get around to testing the pens in different surfaces. I will get around to it, when I get around to it. On the meantime, enjoy my new mandala art. I...

This is the last synesthesia painting of the day. It features a blue Cascade of colors. These are all based on the waltz music that I was listening to. I added the colors over the top. I also took care to paint the sides. It just makes it easier when finishing the artwork. I then swiped the paints down using a cake mold. This created quite the fun painting pattern. The tooth of the mold created some interesting lines. The final artwork is just the leftover of all the painting sessions. I collected them inside a bottle. I then poured...

acrylic, painting, pouring -

I made two pouring arts. They have similar color palettes. Though, they differ in the color. The first painting features a Cascade of colors. I angled the wood panel at an angle. I then allowed for the gravity to do all the work. The second painting I added all the colors in the middle. I then swiped to the left and to the right. I used a cake mold to make the artwork. The colors I used where based on the music I was listening to. This is what Synesthesia is all about. Waltz tend to be rather golden music....
