Hollow Knight Bug with a Pearl Earring Painting Parody
Today, I was in the mood to make a painting parody, using Hollow Knight characters. I chose an easily recognizable painting: The Girl with a Pearl Earring by Jan Vermeer. Hornet seemed like the perfect character to embody this maiden. Both have a certain fragility about them, but also a source of inner strength. It was interesting reworking the turban for her horns. I figured that it would coil around both horns, instead of making it a solid piece. The final thing was adding the shine of the fabrics and the earring. I had to match the shading of...
Pouring Painting Patterns, Dutch, Swipe and Puddle Green
Today, I wanted to show you some nice acrylic pouring paintings that I made. Each painting features a unique pouring method. I like to keep things quite varied. My paints are a weird mix of everything. Whenever I am almost done with an old paint tube, I throw it inside a ketchup bottle. I add some pouring medium, and then it is good to go. The paintings look big, but the canvases are actually pretty small. This is noticeable in the Tiktok videos I made of my new pouring paintings. They are also in Youtube, if you are interested in...
Pouring Painting Creative Chaos: Dutch, Swipe, Puddle and Mold
This week I got around to making four new pouring paintings. I get in a pouring painting mood every once in a while. I try not to overindulge in one artistic path. Like Leonardo da Vinci, I am a maiden of many talents. This is not to say that I think myself as talented as Leonardo. Rather, I want to emphasize that I am a jack of all traits. The pouring paints are my own unique blend of different mediums and paints brands. Pouring paintings tend to use up a lot of paint. So, I am overly reliant on medium...
Gustav Klimt Can’t Paint Feet
I was reading a biography of Gustav Klimt while I was in the can. I like to read while I am doing my business. It is a good way to relax and do something productive with my time. I was looking at the paintings and drawings over the top when I noticed something peculiar. Gustav Klimt can’t paint feet. Well. It is a bit of an exaggeration. He has drawn feet before, but the mere act of drawing them frustrates him. The features painting above is the inspiration of this blog. One foot shows signs of being redrawn like 100...
The Hollow Knight x Goya Painting Parody: The Grubfather devouring his own Children
Today, I felt like doing a Hollow Knight painting parody. After looking through all my options, I decided to do parody of Saturn Devouring his Own Children by Goya. Goya was a Spanish painter from Spain who went crazy after Napoleon massacred his people. He had a firsthand view of the terrors of war, and naturally that affected his psyche. The Grubfather in the Hollow Knight devours all his children after you finish rescuing them. You hear them still alive inside his belly. When the knight tries to save them, his nail is unable to pierce the Grubfather’s belly. It...
