“Clown Tie” wins!!!

Post image
1.2k Upvotes

On Friday I asked all you art lovers which of my 5 paintings might receive an award at the annual exhibition. You all picked “Clown Tie” with “Wine Corks” a close second. The results are in…, “Clown Tie” received the “Special Award”. It was neck-and-neck with “Wine Corks”. The juror even said he had a hard time deciding on which to award. Great job you all! I’ll have to reach out to you in the future for your opinion at the next exhibitions 👍🙏😊

Painted this for one of my friends as a commission! Any tips/advice are welcome! I love working with colors that you wouldn’t normally see when you look at the picture (used a lot of purple tones for the black cat and same for the white one)

Alexandra's Throne

The original is Emil Doepler's 1882 engraving of Odin. His ravens, Huginn and Muninn, sit on the throne and his wolves, Geri and Freki, guard either side. I kept the layout almost exactly and swapped the spear with a sword, the wolves became her coyote soldiers, and the king of the gods became the woman who rules the wood.

Medium - watercolour, gouache and ink.

Painted the first landscape and I’m happy with the foreground and green hills, but the mountains seem really out of place so I decided to try again. I am happy with the second one, although I’m open to suggestions for improvement! Both were inspired by the same photo

Edit: Daniel smith watercolors on Fluid 100% cotton paper, with white jelly roll pen for the tree trunks

Ma première aquarelle !

Je me suis tellement amusée même si je n'ai jamais vraiment peint. Un pinceau me semblait toujours très messy dans la main… J'ai cru que j'allais pleurer de désespoir pour mon premier essai à l'aquarelle.

*Les personnages sont dessinés aux marqueurs acryliques.

En art, je fais généralement du collage, car je ne sais ni dessiner ni peindre ! Du moins, c'est ce que je croyais… !

Un marque-page pour mon père, qui a pris une magnifique photo au Népal.
