acrylic, painting, pouring -

Most folks just stick to classical white pouring painting backgrounds. It is just easy to work with. White paint is like super cheap. Sometimes you see black backgrounds, but not often other colors. I mainly used black backgrounds for these sets of acrylic pouring paintings. They where useful for making the colors stand out. Colors tend to look a bit more muted when placed against white backgrounds.   So, if you are working with patterns a black, or any other colorful background might be useful. This time, I did not do a video tutorial.   I am not a big...

Lately, I have been thinking of doing relatable bjd comedy skits. I do not know if it is silly or not. I tried to keep the video, vanilla, short and sweet. I like vanilla flavored ice cream a lot. I never ate chocolate ice cream, because chocolate was bad for me when I was wee small. Anyhow, I worked hard with the decoration, and set design a bit. I am always stretching my shoe string budget a lot. My best work was the double sided window set piece. I need to get around to painting a blue sky and ocean...

I then decided to not record the other 5 paintings that I made.   You get the gist of the pouring...

Mother recently got her tax refund. With a small portion of it, we decided to give the front garden a bit of an upgrade. Most of the plants were bug infested or just plain dead. It was time for a change. Anyhow, mom was making most of the decisions of the front garden. I usually mess around the vegetable patch. It is a bit of a chaotic mess, but it produces tomatoes so no one cares. While shopping around a bit, I saw the prettiest rose there ever was. I decided that the garden needed a new rose. One of...

drawing, holiday, video -

I made a new drawing. St. Patrick’s Day was coming up, and I was bored and so I made this drawing. I thought it would be a funny type of drawing. It features a Leprechaun lady. I personally do not like drawing dudes that much. I am capable of doing so, but I just don’t feel like it. In the old painting years, a person was considered a skillful painter if they rendered women well. So, there you have it. I am more skilled as an artist because I can draw women, that look like real women. The holiday in...
