Much Ado About Channeling
The painting is another blue isolation of mine. The original work had a lot more colors. I was just playing around with the settings of the camera. The original painting can be found in Bahia Principe in Punta Cana. Well, it is more of a framed mural. It makes it a lot harder for people to steal the painting. Mostly, because the painting is fussed with the wall. So, I guess it is like a fresco or something like it. This has nothing to do with my general frame of mind at the moment. I just came from the bank...
Habana on Bicycle by Elito Review
Two weeks ago, my mother got this cool painting from her childhood friend Elito. The two grew up together, and recently they started talking again. That is the old magic of facebook, bringing old friends together. Anyhow, he offered to give mom one of his paintings as a gift. Since it was my brother's house, mom asked bro to pick the painting. Brother chose one of Elio's largest paintings. It was called Habana on Bicycle. Those who live there understand what it means. For those not familiar with Cuba, everyone is always ridding on bikes. People only ride bikes because...
Much Ado About Acrylics
For the last couple of years, I had not bothered to make a single painting. I was mostly doing drawings and line arts. If I remember correctly, my last work of this kind was made in high school, with tempera. Three years ago, I asked my brother to buy me an entire painting kit, with watercolors, acrylics and oil. Anyhow, through this set, I started to play around with paints. As of now, I have only used the acrylics. This is one of the results of my ventures. I was making a front cover for my poetry book. The book...
Ruminations on Tempera
While working on my website, I noticed a couple of things while uploading from specific brands. To keep organized, I go by brands, instead of by types. Once I get everything from a specific brand, I move onto the next one. What I noticed is that none of the art companies and brands bother to make tempera. Tempera is great, but only Crayola bothers to manufacture it. Ever since Crayola sank its teeth into Tempera, this paint has been relegated to the underwhelming title of Kid's Toys. In the old days, Tempera was respected and produced, but now... Well, you...
Fairy Box Painted with Acrylics
Yesterday, I was bored and so I decided to paint this box. I had this white box just sitting on my room looking rather boring. As such, I decided to paint something girly on it. It took about 8 hours or so to complete. I started at 3 pm and then I ended it at 1 am. On the sides I drew climbing vines and white flowers. I also painted the bottom of the box with butterflies. The first thing I drew was the delineation of the drawing with pencils. The second thing I did was paint the borders with...
