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...
Ink Art: Aurora Borealis Night Paintings
I made two new ink arts. They are themed after winter. I chose the Aurora Borealis motif. I used the black paper to make the paintings. Both the paper and ink were made by pixiss. I have been making a lot of painting just using those art supplies. In the first painting, I added a lot of rubbing alcohol. I cascaded the white ink. It served as a base to add the colored inks. I made two simple colored waves. I added a bit of white ink spray to create stars. Once, I was satisfied with the look...
Hollow Knight Bus Stop Movie Poster Parody
I did a new poll in Youtube. The winner of the poll was Hornet. So, this is why I made a fanart of her. I wanted to give my followers a chance to dictate an aspect of my fanarts. They get to choose who gets the Artsy Sister treatment. After looking at a bunch of paintings and movie posters, I chose to parody this Marilyn Monroe movie poster. In this poster, Marilyn is wearing red. She is just the perfect stand in for Hornet. So, I drew a closeup and a faraway view of Hornet. It was a bit...
Ink Art: Metallic Fireworks Silver and Gold
I made new ink art. In both paintings, I used my silver and gold paint. I am starting to run out of this ink. I am also in a position where I cannot thin out the ink anymore. There is now more alcohol than pigment. So, I am officially running out of the fancy ink. I suppose there are some things that cannot be helped. They had a good run. I was able to extend those pigments for a pretty long time. Now, all that is left is for me to work with what I still have. The...
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...
