Alice Among Sparkly People Acrylic Painting
This is my latest acrylic painting. As of lately, I have been feeling like doing acrylic paintings. I wanted to decorate my room a bit. This is one of the last paintings done on a small canvas. The photo pixel data is larger than the actual painting. As before, I painted her by drawing first on the canvas. I then painted over the pencil lines with acrylics. I am always mimicking the process I use to do perfect linearts. Coloring inside the black lines makes it easier to paint. It does nothing to harm the final result of the painting....
Miami Beach and Whatnot
This is another one of the photos I took while I was in Miami Beach. People do not do the horizontal view a lot. I am still mellowed out around the edges. I am a bit hungry too. I am waiting for my pizza. I am a bit hungry around the edges. I just do not feel much like thinking. I am a bit bored around the edges too. I think I am going to call it early around the edges. Let us move along shall we.
Miami Beach on a Rainy Day
This is another one of my old Miami Beach photos. As of now, I am waiting for my ice cream cake to melt a bit. Anyhow, this photo was taken on a rainy day. It is rare for it to rain and for you to also have sunlight. It looks real pretty around the edges. Since it was not thundering people stayed in the water. A lot of people have died because of lightning storms. Aside from being the sunshine state, this is the lightning state too. A decent number of people get whacked by the lightning. This is why...
Miami Beach on a Good Day
It is very rare that Miami Beach has perfect weather. Some days it is too windy, other days too sunny. From time to time, you get a rare combination. It is cloudy, with decent winds and not too sunny. It also helps to have the low tide. During that day, there are no waves. This combines to make quite a beautiful day. This is a photo I took of such a day a couple of years ago. I no longer go to Miami Beach. It is a little too far away. I also feel more comfortable at home. If all...
Alice and the Tardigrade Acrylic Painting
It has been quite a bit since I did an acrylic painting. Acrylic paintings offer their own fair of challenges. I normally draw with pencil over the canvas what I want to paint. I then pass the lamp black over the pencil lines. To erase the black smudges, I add a layer of titanium white. In the first couple of paintings, I did not do that. This caused the pencil lines to be noticeable. Now, I just erase them with acrylic paint. The white paint adds a bit of light into the colors applied over it. It usually takes two...
