Deschutes Brewery’s Post

This was the last main project on the Self Defined Project for The Figure in Focus Class at around the beginning of April, just a few days before my birthday. This remarkable piece is based on the movie that I watched as a child and this was the very first anime-styled movie ever. This was my favorite poster-style artwork ever. If I were going to do a commission for recreating a poster that I have either seen or not watched, I would do that. Title: The Last Unicorn (2024) Size: 18" x 24" Medium: Acrylic, Markers and Watercolor on Canvas

SYMBIOTIC: Acrylic on canvas, 2 x 4 FT. Symbiotic means having an interdependent relationship. It’s the nature of things, a butterfly flapping its wings in the Amazon and hurricanes and such… or, maybe, a relationship between two people which turns into chaos. I started this piece a little over a year from when I finished it. I began this piece two weeks before my ex and I parted ways. To say either of us didn’t see it coming wouldn’t be true. We did. We both wanted things to work but we just couldn’t fix what was broken, slowly everything became broken. It wasn’t a single argument or incident or person to blame. It was a cascade of things that just no longer fit, no longer defined what it means when two people are together. It took time, took healing but we’re friends now and will always be. In that process of healing, I kept looking at this painting in the corner. I reworked it while finishing other pieces. I rushed it as I wanted it to be done, wanted to close the chapter on what it represented. I even signed it a month ago and claimed it done. Then, this piece became more than I thought I wanted it to be. It became symbiotic. It became what a relationship should be. The closure came in the harmony of what was and the hope of what can be. It wasn’t about how things ended but the healthy lessons I took away from the experience. Our story may not have meant to be forever but I’m that much closer to being ready for the right fit. For that, I’m grateful. #livingwithart #jennifire #firepowerproductions #attitudeofgratitude #happinessishere #artlife #wefancy #5280lifestyle #acrylicpainting #wip #shopwefancy #spraydaily #symbiotic #womenartists #coloradoartist #pamperyourpeopleandspoilyourspace #weareone #5280home #inspotoyourhome #liveoutloud #coloradoartist #artlove #womenwriters #youbeyou #artistinresidence #homedecorlovers #blessup #soulshine #lifelesson #artstudy

Hand lettering - 🖊️ ✏️ 🖌️ 🖍️ Pen, watercolour and collage. Creating your own lettering to suit a theme is a really fun and creative way to let form follow function. L👀K around and see what typography you can spot when out and about… #typographyart #CreativeGrowth

The beginning of a painting is magical, full of hope and promise and endless possibility! 🤩 (The angst comes later on in the process.... ) As a teacher, this is also the most fun part, because my students think it's mad to splash colors around like that 😂 It might look crazy but it actually helps to avoid many problems: 1. It gets rid of that intimidating white paper, and gives you a base to work with. 2. It starts you off with bright, vibrant colors... beginners have a tendency to be timid and use colors that are light, dull, or muddy. 3. It forces you to look at color, light and shadow, instead of the small details which should be left for the end. 4. It reminds you not to be a slave to your reference photo, to loosen up, use your imagination, and have fun. ▶ I'll be posting the full video on my YouTube channel for those who want to learn the process or paint along with me! Comment "YouTube link please!" if you want the link! Or comment "You're the best paint-splashing watercolor artist I know!" if you want to be my best friend for the day. You tell me a secret of yours, and I'll tell you a secret of mine... 🙃😍 #watercolor #art #painting #artbyDena

One of my watercolor artwork. Using Koi watercolor. Watercolor can be tricky as the consistency can be different each time you add water. But, with lots of patience and trial you will soon get used to it. #illustration #watercolor #drawing #artwork

Watercolor painting is a versatile and expressive medium that allows for a wide range of creative possibilities. The unique characteristics of watercolor, such as its transparency and the way it interacts with paper, can create beautiful and unexpected effects. It can be used to create both loose and highly detailed works, and it has been a favorite medium for centuries among artists. And perhaps most importantly, watercolor painting is an accessible art form that anyone can enjoy, regardless of skill level or budget. It is an inexpensive and easy-to-find medium, which makes it easy to get started. The process of painting with watercolors can be meditative, helping to relax and de-stress, and can be a great way to connect with others. So, whether you're a beginner or an experienced artist, watercolor painting is a worthwhile endeavor that will provide endless opportunities for self-expression and creativity. I started learning watercolors with the sole purpose of getting out of depression. Watercolor also helped me get out of my addiction to anti-depressants and sleeping pills. And now, I am a professional watercolor artist. What's your reason for learning to paint with watercolors? #learnwatercolors #learntopaint

In Illustrator's Recolor Art function the tiniest buttons are the most important ones and if it doesn't do what you want it to do, then most probably those buttons are causing it. Here's how to use them: https://lnkd.in/dthNAWYS #illustrator #tutorial #vector #color #recolor

VISUAL INSIGHTS INTO LIFE’S BEAUTY * Acrylic ink on Yupo * Size: 4x6” (matted and framed to 6x8”) * Price: $32 plus tax and $3 shipping * Series: Visual Insights into Life’s Beauty * Commissions welcome @martinasestakovaart 2023 For more, follow @martinasestakovaart on Instagram. My paintings in the “Visual Insights into Life’s Beauty” series explore how we celebrate life with our words. Literature inspires me: words build bridges between colors and shapes. I note interesting words in books and poems and use them as titles for my artworks. The paintings are visual meditations on language connecting us to ourselves and others. I work on yupo, a non-absorbent medium. You may find me in a cold studio to extend the drying process or in my garden in sunlight watching water disappear before my eyes. These aspects of the process bring me back to the power of words: sometimes they note fleeting moments, other times they stick around for years. 1. #abstractart 2. #art 3. #abstract 4. #contemporaryart 5. #artwork 6. #modernart 7. #abstractexpressionism 8. #painting 9. #fineart 10. #artist
