Ink Art: Pulsing Red Heart and Orange Yellow Emoji Hearts Paintings
Today, I wanted to show you my latest ink art heart paintings. I was trying out simple shapes with my ink art paintings. I also wanted to do a heart of each color. The first painting features a red heart. I started with a simple red heart in the middle. I then added a red ripple effect coming from the middle of the painting. In order to add a bit of interest to the painting, I used the colors blue and green for the empty spaces between the red pulses. Blue and Green are the split compliments of...
Self Portrait: Yayoi Kusama and Howard Finster Style Painting
I did two new self-portraits. They were done with ink and watercolor paints. I first drew the face with pencil. I then added the ink before erasing the pencil lines. Lastly, I added the watercolor paints. This is the basic steps I take when painting watercolors. I am going to now talk about the paintings in specific. The first painting I made was done Howard Finster style. I first took a selfie. I then drew myself. I was not trying to do a carbon copy of the original self-portrait. Rather, I am just trying to mimic the style. I noticed...
Hollow Knight Pale King Fanart Charles Le Brun Painting
Today, I did a new Hollow Knight fanart. This one is a reference to a Charles Le Brun painting called The Chancellor Seguier. I saw this painting in an art book that I was reading. The book is called What Great Paintings Say. The Chancellor looked like such a snob in this painting that it inspired me to make this Hollow Knight fanart. I simply changed all the human characters for Hollow Knight characters. Instead of a horse, I used a Grimsteed. The person ridding the Grimsteed is the Pale King. He is going to the visit his...
Watercolor Self Portrait Paintings: Sonaly Gandhi and Nina Tokhtaman Valetova Style
Above, you can see my latest watercolor self-portraits. I like to post them in pairs. These two painters are grouped together because they have similar styles. Gandhi does squares patterns, while Valetova does psychedelic patterns. I am first going to rant about the Gandhi style painting. Gandhi is a West Bengal, Hindu painter. She makes contemporary art and pop art. She always adds grid pattern to all her subjects. I chose to imitate her art because of this butterfly painting. I like painting butterflies. So, doing this self-portrait was just the excuse I needed to paint more butterflies. I used...
Blue Hearts in Golden Background Ink Art Painting
Today, I wanted to show you my latest ink art. It is just a simple painting. It features Blue hearts against a golden background. The Hearts had a lot of dots in the middle. I used Pixiss ink and paper. They combine well together. For the first time, I was forced to thin out the paints. I had added alcohol ink into the bottles in order to make more golden ink. The little bottle was almost halfway done. Adding rubbing alcohol saved me the trouble of having to get more ink. This is something to keep in mind if you...
