I am really struggling to finish this piece .. I lOve the body on this chica .. it's something a little different than my norm .. specially the 'girls' .. I've been trying to understand depth in a sketch/painting .. I still struggle with backgrounds haha .. sO I'm starting to try the hair behind her to see where that takes me and start a background slowly .. not that I'm worried about it atm .. I'm struggling with this piece for emotional reasons .. I typically create when there is sorrow in my life .. But her body language is saying too many things to me .. One she's a sexy momma showing off her body ready and waiting to play .. but then she is lost in her thoughts or is she? .. most art is a refection of one's self .. sO I might be being overly honest here .. I sO much want to paint a piece .. sOmetimes a piece does not speak to me after the sketch and it's not like I dont have many many sketches to paint .. I just want to accomplish another piece .. ya know those of you who have faithfully followed me, you know that I normally finish a piece everyday .. well I took a 3 month off break .. needed it bad .. but now, I am no longer painting everyday .. I'm not sure that's a good thing or a bad thing .. I am learning patience with myself and going slow with a piece instead of rushing threw it before the sun goes down .. I've learned many things on my break about my art, which is pretty cool I think and pacing myself has been a good thing .. I just dont want to loose my groove .. I am most happy when I am painting .. I've also been trying some new techniques like outlining .. I originally would outline with a marker and then smear it .. my lines didn't end up very sturdy and very shaky .. sO I found some coptic pens that are fucking awesome and I use black to finish the outline .. it leaves the painting with a very finished look .. but there isn't much shading .. sO I went to painting the outline .. trying to create a shade for the outline .. blend blend blend .. I want them all to have a black outline, shaded finish .. but guess what, black is the hardest color for me to blend against the skin of my nymph .. sO I then have moved on to a different darker shade of skin .. tho I am still missing the black finish .. I just like the black finish outline and shade .. sO if you have any suggestions and tips, please shoot them my way here .. Try'N to learn here .. I use acrylic .. oils are much easier to blend .. I want to try it sometime .. maybe I need to use pastales to learn how to blend? it's been frustrating .. but I will never give up!! haha :)

sO try'N someth'N New .. fuck the background I say!! try some different paper!! haha this is my improvise for not doing backgrounds .. sO there .. :) .. I'm surprised how well she turned out .. I wasn't trying my best on this one .. just mess'N round .. I will most definitely revisit this one .. my Lil green Nymph .. super cute .. gOOd AfternOOn! sO this is way cOOl .. The first photo is inside and the other is outside both are natural lighting .. no affects here .. I lOve how the purple hues come out in each photo with the one and only painting .. No I'm just not sure which one to make availble .. I lOve them both very much .. sO maybe I will just do them both .. What do you think? Lightbulb or Outside? wOw, Can I say I really got lost on this one LOL .. not sure what to think about this lil Nymph .. She did not go in the direction I intended her to go in .. specially the hair and the bird .. The bird was annitionally a peacock and was blue! The pock a dots, goodness where did that come from? Ooh let's not forget, pink .. sO I'm kinda happy with this one and kinda not .. but it's most definitely an excuse to do her again .. what I really do like is the black color of hair .. and the style could use some work but I like the direction it's going .. I have many ideas with this one .. This is not the end!! I do like, even tho the bird is white, I really like how he ended up .. pretty in pink and white .. I would like to do more birds in different colors .. I really hope I can keep this one alive for a while .. I've had a hard time getting inspired or motivated to do anything lately and it sucks cuz I'm lOsing my drive .. Today was a struggle to draw and paint anything .. I hit a blank spot .. I haven't even been on here much .. been kinda busy too with life .. I do hope to get back to my happy spot sOOn tho .. hellO my crazy lil mOnster fans! sO I went to my first art class, and I had sO much fun! I lOved all the people and I lOved the teacher sO much I'm going to continue to go .. This is the art piece I worked on in class and can I say EWWW!?!? I hate this and I didn't even paint it .. how confusing is that? But I like being 'shown' how to do someth'N I just dont want my teacher to paint my project all by himself duh .. I totally hate hOw this lOOks but I will totally take 50% of the blame because I only brought the primary colors that are required for the class instead of ALL my paints .. I like certain kind of colors and I'm not very good at mixing sO I'd rather just buy the color I want .. sO next time I will be more prepared :) But I can't not help but lOve all the people in the class which is truly what is driving me to go again .. I dont work sO I try and find things to do that my body will allow me to do .. I lOve talk'N ta people .. and meting new peeps .. I lOOk forward to my next class .. I Hope you all have a spoiled rotten day! ~jez Hey Sunshines! sOrry for double posting .. I thought I'd write a bit on this one .. I tried and tried with background and color a few times as you can see .. 3rd times a charm I guess, right? ") .. I'm stuck in a routine with using certain colors .. I went wayyy outa my box with this one .. I drew and painted more 'stuff' with a hint of a background .. I almost think it's too busy .. well it is more than what I'm used to .. I do still have more detail to paint .. though the Nymph herself is finished .. .. Certain colors make me feel a certain way .. or the other way around .. I hate red right now .. it's a beautiful color .. but not my cup of tea .. it was really hard to figure out how to make her pop .. I'm not familiar with using reds .. and black is hard to use .. I guess your not so posed to use black black unless your doing just black and white and anything else is so posed to be an off black ?? idk how true that is .. but has made sense to me in my paintings in choosing the right black for certain stuff .. Anyways .. I think I got it with this Lil Nymph and going out of my box was kinda scary, then it got frustrating .. but I did it and I feel like a learned from it and I accomplished something today .. It's amazing how therapeutic art is for me .. I've been threw a lot .. sO it's nice to get it out onto the canvas .. Well I better get go'N .. Happy Creating ") Hey I think she might be coming along .. it's been tuff .. I'm still stuck on the background thing .. sO my solution is draw mOre maybe .. the bricks gives it some what of a background .. I dont want a full blown background but I do what 'stuff' in the painting .. I'm slowly getting the hang of this .. I think doing Nymphs will help me tremendously .. The origin of The Nymph leaves mind mind with dOOrs wide open .. and the idea's are flowing again .. I hope I never get tired of painting the Nymph .. the possibilities are endless .. The Nymph gives me structur .. I'm way excited to be on this journey .. I'm sO happy and again excited for those of you who follow me .. Your on this journey with me .. I'm taking ya all with me! Thanks sO much for being sO supportive .. All of the tips I'm getting on backgrounds are being put into action .. I hOpe you all have a spOiled rOtten day! .. |
