Ink Art: Red Xmas Ornaments Painting
I made two new ink arts. I got bored of painting snowflakes. So, I decided to change up the theme. This time I painted xmas ornaments. I had some round paper. This worked well with the theme. The paper and inks were made by pixiss. I also made Youtube and Tiktok videos of my art. So, you can check that out if you prefer to see a video, instead of a blog. I also photographed the wet and dry versions of the paintings. The ink tends to lighten up a bit when it dries. So, keep that...
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...
Self Portraits: Julius Bissier and Peter Ondreička Style
I made two new self-portraits. Both were made with watercolors, pencil and ink. I first drew the lineart. Afterwards, I traced over it with pen.

Julius Bissier was a German painter. He fought in the first World War. He was a self-taught artist. The bulk of his work are abstract paintings. To make this self-portrait, I found one of his few artworks that feature a...
Ink Art: Silver Copper Snowflakes Paintings
I made new ink art. This time I used my black paper. The paper and ink were made by Pixiss. With black paper, I usually oversaturate it with rubbing alcohol. This allows the ink to flow a lot easier. I made videos of both paintings. You can see them in my Youtube and Tiktok Artsy Sister channels. Now, let us talk about the paintings in specific. The one with two snowflakes I made it by spraying white. Once the background was nice and lively, I used white ink to draw the snowflakes. I then painted over...
Ink Art: Round Paper Red and Silver Snowflakes
I made new snowflake art. It seemed like something fun to do this Christmas season. Snowflakes are pretty universals. So, I hope you find this type of artwork amusing. I used pixiss ink and paper. I also saturated the papers with alcohol ink at lot. This helped the ink flow. I also took photos of the wet and dry versions. I also photographed two painting details. Normally, I photograph three painting details. Since the round papers are small, I was only able to photograph two painting details. I can’t zoom in too much. The camera gets...
