Dreaming Alien Blue Jellyfish Mermaid
Today, I wanted to show you this mermaid painting. I have a thing for Jellyfishes. I draw them from time to time. If I am not drawing them, I am utilizing their color palette. Anyhow, I got from Gencraft some acrylic paints. I did a demonstration video of the types of paintings that you can do with just 25 paints. This is the influencer drawing that I made to promote their paints. Above, I will post a photograph of the set I used to make this painting. Now, it is time to talk about the actual artwork. I used paper,...
Watercolor Painting Self Portrait: Paul Gauguin and Odilon Redon Style
Today, I wanted to show you my latest watercolor self-portraits. I took two selfies to use as references. I also used some of the flower photos I have in my catalogue. I photograph flowers and butterflies whenever possible. So, I had plenty of references to work with. The first painting was made Paul Gauguin style. I recently read his colorful biography. Vincent Van Gogh nearly gave him a shave that was a little too close for comfort. Needless to say, Gauguin fled to Tahiti to get away from Van Gogh. Gauguin was a French Post-Impressionism and Primitivism painter. He spread...
Hollow Knight Dirty Dancing Fanart
Today, I made a new Hollow Knight fanart. I do these fanarts on a weekly basis. Usually on Tuesday. If the drawing is more complicated, it gets done by Wednesday. I have developed a blogging routine. I like routines. My early life was marked by instability. So, routines help me feel safe. Let’s move things along. When I was young, I saw the movie Dirty Dancing and I really liked it. I didn’t get much of the plot. I saw the movie in English. At the time, I didn’t speak the language well. Regardless, this is the type of...
Dearmine Black Cat Inanis in Python Print Outfit BJD Doll Photoshoot
This is the final doll photoshoot of the day. I tried to keep things simple. It is just one doll posing. I chose my black cat Inanis. She is named after one of the characters from my Sacred Mask books. Her name means emptiness. It is a cool name for a character. This is not important for the moment. I am here to discuss my dolls, not books. I recently got two small orchid plants. They were gifted to me as a get well present. Orchids work well for me because they do not have pollen....
Margot Robbie Barbie Doll Photoshoot
My brother was shopping for a new SD card when he saw this Barbie. He knew that I liked the movie so he bought her for me. I am always a bit squeamish when buying things for myself. With the uncertainties revolving my current situation, my doll spending has been reduced to zero. It is for this reason that my brother bought me this doll without telling me. He wanted to put a smile on my face. And he succeeded in this department. This is the first Barbie I have owned in ages. I left...
