The Lady in Blue Acrylic Painting
I have been putting off a bit showing you this piece. In part, I wanted to wait for the Velcro to arrive. I was also not in the mood for doing a little bit of a serious blog. These days I am a little bit mellowed out. I usually get like that when it is sour and grey. A gray sky with no rain is every so gloomy. There is also the issue with today’s date. I will not get into it. It is just one of those days when my family is in a particular sour mood. It will...
Idealism Overtaking Realism
This is another one of my silly acrylic painting. It took a little while to complete. I painted it on larger canvas. As of late, I have been painting whatever comes to my mind. I finally got around to hanging the last couple of paintings. I usually hang them with Velcro. I am not a big fan of hammering into walls. There are some notable exceptions. The paintings by mother’s friend are a tad too big to be hung with Velcro. For this one only, we do get the hammer and nail. Don’t you find it a tad annoying to...
Doll come Alive
This is another one of my pretty acrylic paintings. As of lately, I have been working doubly hard on my work. This one is just a bit of an experiment. I am no longer doing the series thing. I am just painting as the ideas come to mind. So, while I have an inch of inspiration, I will continue with my acrylic projects till I use up all my canvases. They were just crowding up my drawers, just sitting there doing nothing. This one is a bit of a spell or something like it. It is the first painting I...
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...
