Ink Art: Wine and Cupid Arrow Valentine’s Day
This is the last set of Valentine’s day themed ink art. I usually do these paintings on Wednesday. Since Valentine’s day falls outside that day, then there is no point in making new ones. I used my round paper this time. This posed its own unique set of challenges. Round paper doesn’t have any edges. So, the painting must remain in the middle. I used pixiss ink and paper. You can get the art supplies I used here in Artsy Sister’s Choice collection. You can find that collection in my home page. I am going to talk about...
Much Ado About Tulum, Cenote and Chichen Itza Travel Photos
It has been a while since I got out of the house. There have been a few changes in my house. I do not want to bore you with my problems of the real world. The point is that I was looking at my travel photos. It is nice to look at them. I chose among them some that I liked a lot. These ones focus on my trip to Tulum and Chichen Itza. Both places are Mayan ruins in Mexico. I went to Tulum a long time ago. So, I visited it a second time. ...
Ink Art: Wedding Ring and Love Key
I did two new ink arts. They were made with Pixiss ink and paper. I used the smallest paper. So, I tried to keep the artwork simplified. You can see a video of these artworks in Artsy Sister Tiktok and Youtube. I also took photos of the wet and dry version of these paintings. The theme is Still Valentine’s day. I hope you find it amusing. The first painting features two wedding rings. The first one is silver and the other is golden. I started with a red and orange background. I wanted some warm colors for the...
Ink Art: Love Notes Valentine’s Day
I made new ink art. I am almost done with the Valentine’s Day theme. The holiday is just around the corner. In this painting, I decided to do love notes. I started by painting the background. I added warm colors on one side. Warm colors are reds and oranges. I added cold colors on the other half. These are your blues, purples and green. Warm colors call your attention. Once the colors were dried, I painted the music notes on top of them. I painted the notes with silvery ink. I am almost done with the metallic paints....
Much Ado About Xcaret
It seemed like a good a time as any to rant about the last vacation I took. It has been more than six months since I went to anywhere that was interesting. It is fun to look through the photos. These are some new ones that I haven’t shown you. I have already ranted enough about Xcaret. So, there really isn’t much to say about the place. I can talk about the weather. It was superhot. It was to be expected since we went there in the middle of the summer. Even with the trees, I could feel my brain...
