Hialeah Savannah Apartment Watercolor Painting
Today, I was in the mood to paint a cityscape. After looking through my photos, I settled on this one. The place I chose to paint has a special meaning to me. I lived in the Savannah apartments for almost 15 years. It is the longest I have ever lived in any place. I tend to dream about that place from time to time. It wasn’t the best place to live, but it wasn’t terrible either. It was vanilla. Vanilla is good. We ended up moving because we outgrew the place. We were no longer small brats, and we needed...
Five Pouring Paintings: Rainbow Dutch, Gold Swipe, Red Puddle
I finally got around to showing you my finished pouring paintings. Pouring paintings are a good way of expressing your creative chaos. It is also perfect for recycling your old paints. Instead of throwing them away, you can just add medium to the mix to turn them into pouring paint. I have experimented a lot with various mediums. I used a little bit of Liquitex, Floetral, and Mont Marte Pouring medium. I also added a bit of silicone oil to the mix. Just a single droplet helps create all the cells that you want, without a torch. The problem...
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...
The Life of a Yellow Rose Watercolor Painting
Today, I was in the mood to paint a floral painting. In the old days, I used to make these simple paintings with acrylics. This time I did it on watercolor paper. I have been painting with watercolors a lot, as of lately. I feel more confident working with the medium. Normally, I just make cityscapes or landscapes with watercolors. This time I wanted to paint flowers. First, I drew the roses with a pencil. I created the shapes starting in the middle. Trust me, with roses, it is always better to start drawing in the center. I drew the...
The Hollow Knight Baki Parody Ant can carry 40 Times his Own Weight
This is my latest Hollow Knight parody. I was looking at random things for inspiration. It was then when I saw a manga panel from Baki. It featured Oliva carrying his wife about. I decided to do a similar scene with the Pale King and the White Lady. The Pale King is carrying his wife to the Royal Bedchambers, while his retainers bowl in awe. I only added four retainers in order not to steal focus. The design of the White Lady is a little different. It is a combination of her look in the Queen’s Garden, and her early...
