4 Pouring Paintings: Pink Pastel Drop, Pink Swipe on Orange, Flower Mold and Pan Flag Swipe
Today, I wanted to show you my latest pouring paintings. The videos for all these paintings are already up and about in Youtube and Tiktok. I used wooden panels for these pouring paintings. The smooth surface helps the paint flow better. It saves me the trouble of having to dilute so much my paints. I took two photographs of these paintings. The first set of photographs show the dry paintings. The finished results sometimes look a little different. Other times, the variation isn’t much. This time I dried the paintings indoor. It was raining so I wasn’t able to dry...
Five Pouring Abstract Art on Wood Acrylic Paintings
I finally got around to uploading my newest pouring painting videos. If you want to see the making of these paintings, you can check them out in my Artsy Sister Tiktok and Youtube accounts. Unlike my previous pouring paintings, these ones were made on thin pieces of wood. I do not remember what type of wood I used. I had run out of canvases, so, I used a small piece of wood instead. Those woods were part of a craft project that I forgot all about. So, I used them for pouring paintings instead. I added a bit of gesso...
Watercolors Moth on Mango Flowers and Monarch Butterfly on Dry Palm Leaf
Today, I got around to posting my two new watercolor paintings. I try to practice with my watercolors on the weekend. It is a nice change of pace from my regular work. So far, I have been making butterfly paintings. I am trying to paint different butterflies. I do not know what type of moth I painted. I took a photograph of it in my garden. You can see above the photographic reference for my paintings. Taking a photograph saves me the trouble of painting outdoors. Painting outdoors in Florida is a bit of a hassle. It is too hot,...
Six Pouring Paintings Abstract Acrylic Art
Today, I wanted to show you my latest pouring paintings. I took two photographs of these paintings. One of the photos features the painting wet, and the other dry. The first photographs show the dry paintings. They are the finished version of my artworks. I frankly like better the paintings when they are wet. Acrylics always tend to dry in darker hues. So, it is always better to work with bright colors. They will eventually turn darker once the paint dries. I am almost out of pouring paints. I haven’t bought any acrylics in a while. I also used...
Butterflies on Mexican Sunflowers Watercolor Paintings
I did two watercolor paintings featuring Mexican Sunflowers. These little sunflowers attract a bunch of different butterflies to my garden. I reworked two photographs into the paintings you see above. The first shows the Sunflower in full bloom. The second painting shows that even a withered flower still attracts butterflies. In fact, the withered flower had more butterflies than the fresh flower. I do not know what that is all about. The first butterfly I think it might be a Tiger Swallow Tail Butterfly. It is a male one to be more specific about it. The three other butterflies are...
