Alice Among Sparkly People Acrylic Painting
This is my latest acrylic painting. As of lately, I have been feeling like doing acrylic paintings. I wanted to decorate my room a bit. This is one of the last paintings done on a small canvas. The photo pixel data is larger than the actual painting. As before, I painted her by drawing first on the canvas. I then painted over the pencil lines with acrylics. I am always mimicking the process I use to do perfect linearts. Coloring inside the black lines makes it easier to paint. It does nothing to harm the final result of the painting....
Alice and the Tardigrade Acrylic Painting
It has been quite a bit since I did an acrylic painting. Acrylic paintings offer their own fair of challenges. I normally draw with pencil over the canvas what I want to paint. I then pass the lamp black over the pencil lines. To erase the black smudges, I add a layer of titanium white. In the first couple of paintings, I did not do that. This caused the pencil lines to be noticeable. Now, I just erase them with acrylic paint. The white paint adds a bit of light into the colors applied over it. It usually takes two...
A Fresh coat of Paint
Sunday has been one of those lazy sort of days. As of late, we have not gone out much. The only time we do head out is to go to the gym. We get something that we call exercise and then back to being biologically fused with the couch. To the couch’s credit, it is very comfortable. The air conditioner is just dandy. It is not too cold or not too warm. It is just right. The sun rarely shows its face. This helps maintain, that lazy sort of gray feel to everything. My mother is going to make ribs....
Second Ahi Front Cover
This is quite the cute front cover that I made. I had originally the lineart version for a different project. I now finally got around to adding color to it. The paper is not a watercolor paper. It was just a Strathmore drawing paper. I was surprised that it did not bleed through the paper. Then again, I was adding watercolors rather lightly. It took me the entire night to complete it. As of now, we have been planning on changing up our production line. My brother is up to here with Photoshop. He thinks he cannot make a fancy...
Newest Front Cover Watercolor Painting for Ahi
This is a little number I painted last night. I did the entire thing in one sit down. I started around 9 PM and ended about 1:30 AM. Based on this, I think it took about 4 hours to complete. With watercolor painting, I already have a technique already down. I first draw the lineart and then I add the watercolors onto it. The photo shows all the main tools I used to paint this watercolor painting. I did not use too many different colors. The main colors used are those that appear warm. As for the dress of my...
