The artwork symbolizes all that is Art and love, there's a special child in each and every one of us artist, that makes you continue moving forward, where there's happiness, despite whatever opposition you encounter in your life or sorrow, that child that loves to dap in paint and continue to love nature as well as people, the child that sees the world full of wonder and beauty, that does not seek competition, but laughs and shares it with many friends, cheers them up as well,  the giraffe is friendly and beautiful, some spots are made of cooper, light ochre and Vandyke brown.  A lot of earthly tones, the artwork even though looks decorative at the same time, tells you a story, this time, endurance, love and perseverance, You the viewer can embark in an adventure wile looking at it, and that was the aim, ass well a 3 d effect that pushes the artwork forward as it is done with some of the other artworks.  Hope it brings a smile to you, good memories and happiness!

“The Queens of Spring”

Spring is the season that strives in colors and what better reason to take out the watercolors from that dusty compartment and give them back their dignity, in just right of time, they finally agreed to teach me a lesson of two with undertone. And the adventure, began!

 

The miniatures are the new experiment with color techniques and undertones, the results so far excellent, treating watercolors with the same care and respect as if oils. The advantage that the medium gives to light, absolutely no comparison.

Watercolor flower poppy 22” by 30” 

The  goal for this one was to incorporate  movement with in the flower by adding extra petals, abstraction and form combined with high color loaded with energy and intensity, the flower was positioned off center for a better view.

But not all this is just mainly technical there’s a lot of feelings in to them, painting just to paint…don’t think so… But painting with feelings, good energy, perhaps memories or conversations… makes it more interesting.

~The artist in a room full of people he or she is the one in a corner making notes, sketching and observing… everything is interesting an never boring.

Watercolour painting female nude ACEO

 

 

This ACEO is one of my favorites for the day. The Painting was developed  wet in to wet rather than a direct approach, working fast. Immediately going to the darkest dark developed with just pigment. Not undermining the understanding of muscle, bone movement underneath the skin and it’s ligaments.  

To give strength to the darks a combination of purple, blue and green was used. Skin tones since the darkest to the lightest in the light reflects many colors, as an exercise to learn how to see light in the skin with different eyes, when you see light coming from a window put your hand and see the transparency that your skin has against the sun.
