Teresita Blanco Self Portraits Watercolor Andy Warhol and Frida Kahlo Style
Today, I wanted to show you my latest watercolor projects. I like to post my portraits in pairs. It gives the folks plenty to look at. The first painting is based on an obscure Frida Kahlo painting. Frida’s self-portraits where all about expressing herself. The originally and symbolism behind her work is the main reason why she became famous. When I was in Primary School, the art teacher gave us this assignment. She told us to mimic the style of a painter. The first painting she had us mimic was a self-portrait done Frida Kahlo style. She gave us...
Alcohol Ink Art: Red Droplets, Neon Purple Cascade and Blue Jellyfish with Pixiss Supplies
Today, I wanted to show you my newest art projects. I got a little bored of pouring paintings. So, I decided to change it up a bit. I got in the mail some pixiss ink supplies. For the time being, I am in the experimental phases. I am still trying to figure out what I can do with alcohol inks. I learn by doing. With enough practice, I am certain that I am going to be able to make some amassing ink paintings. In this blog, I am going to tell you everything that I learned from my first...
Hollow Knight Quirrel Gump Movie Poster Parody
Today, I decided to a movie poster parody. My mother had suggested this poster to me after seeing me play the Hollow Knight. Like Forrest Gump, a lot of the action in the Hollow Knight takes place in the bench. I chose Quirrel to parody Forrest Gump because he is an exposition fairy. He always rants to whoever sits down beside him. The Chibi Knight couldn’t be Forrest because he is a silent protagonist. Well…he stops being silent once he learns Soul Shriek. His brother the Hollow Knight has a similar scream attack. Like Forrest, Quirrel enters the danger...
Hollow Knight Chichén Itzá Mexican Vacation Fanart
Today, I got around to making a new Hollow Knight fanart. I didn’t do a fanart last week because I was on vacation in Mexico. I do not like announcing when I am going on vacation. I am a pretty paranoid fellow. So, all the new content pops up as soon as I come back from my vacation. Anyhow, this Hollow Knight fanart combines Hollow Knight characters with Mexican imagery. I used a bunch of photographic references to build up the drawing. The pyramid you see in the background is the Pyramid of the Sun from the ancient Maya City...
Teresita Blanco Self Portrait Van Gogh and Gustav Klimt Style
Today, I wanted to show you two self-portraits I made over the weekend. In the old days, Self Portraits was a way for artists to promote themselves and their skills. In the spirit of that tradition, I made two self-portraits. The first one I made it Van Gogh style. I have a lot of similarities with Van Gogh. I came from a big family that suddenly felt like giving me the cold shoulder. I have a Theo and a nice mother to boot. My big brother Fernando is my Theo. He has been supporting my writing and my artworks since...
