New Background Warping Shadows Acrylic Painting
I made a new acrylic painting. I was going for a bit of a leafy feel to it. I started by painting three blocks. One red, one blue and the other purple. This helps me vary the background for my doll photoshoots. I sprayed white alcohol ink to give it a bit of a texture. This removed some of the homogeny in the background. I painted a leafy pattern in the middle with purple acrylics. In the other two sides, I painted two stylized flowers. After looking at the painting, I felt that there was something missing. To...
Acrylic Background Imperfect Blue Symmetry
Today, I finished painting this background for doll theater. I started by painting eight white circles with white gesso. The rest I painted a light baby blue. Once it dried, I spayed some white ink to add a point of interest. This was just to randomize some of the blue patterns. I left the painting drying for an entire day. The following day I added the mosaic pattern with white ink. With that out of the way, I started painting the symbols into the white spheres. From time to time, I added glitter into the symbols. I am a...
Checkerboard Flowers in Golden Glitter Background
I made a new painting background for my dolls photoshoot. I have been going through a bit of a golden phase. I started the painting by painting everything in yellow. I mixed yellow acrylics with liquid white gesso. This saved me a couple of steps in the development of this painting. Every so often, I added yellow glitter on top of the wet acrylic. Acrylic is a glue like paint. So, it was easy for the glitter to fussed into the project board. With that done, I painted the sides before painting the middle. I used the color...
Doll Theater Orby Background
I made a new background for Doll Theater. I went for an abstract city feel to it. This wasn’t what I had in mind. It just ended up looking like that. I used a project board to make this painting. I often paint both sides of the project board. It saves me the trouble of buying extra backgrounds. The back part of the project board was brown, and it had writing. So, I had to add a layer of gesso in order to paint on top of it. I colored the white gesso in order to save a couple of...
Art Deco Backgrounds
I made a new background for my Doll theater. I went for an Art Décor feel. I painted the middle yellow and the other sides red and blue. Afterwards, I added some stylized patterns into the mix. I made certain to integrate yellow in both the blue and the red panels. This creates a cohesive look for the background. In the middle, I painted a stylized tree. The tree is inspired on Gustav Klimt’s works. So, if it looks familiar, this is the reason. All in all, it was an interesting effort. The backgrounds are not meant to steal attention...
