Art Attack 🎨
I've been wanting to explore new art forms, try different techniques and experiment with new painting styles. And some of the best advice I've ever gotten has come from other artists ^-^
Even a small suggestion or a new way of looking at something can totally change the way we create art. So I thought it'd be nice to have a space for sharing those little gems 💎 whether you're just starting something new or have made real progress in your art journey.
I'd love to hear what you've been learning or experimenting with too.
@yourOneAndonlYFreja99 You inspired this post :) 🌸 Hope it's okay to tag you here.
I inspired you?!
Thank you so much🙏🙏💓💓
You truly have a kind soul😇😇
@yourOneAndonlYFreja99 My first animal painting was a grey cat too 💖 and aww you can always adore cats from a distance n_n💕 what about doggos?
Watercolor needs patience, you gotta let each layer dry so the colours don't get muddy. It's more transparent and the layers look very beautiful. You'll also need specific papers for that cause the normal ones would tear with all the water. I don't use it much but I do use it for storybook style art. Looks perfect 💜
Acrylic dries fast which is great but also not so great for larger paintings haha ^^ I cover my palette to keep the colours from drying out. It's more opaque and can be used on all kind of surfaces like canvas, wood of fabric and it dries shiny. I think it's very beginner friendly. Also if you thin it out with water, you can get the watercolor like look. I prefer it lol 😸
@BlueDarkAurora
I LOVE dogs! I want a Cane corso 🐾🐾👍
Whats the name of the specific paper need is for watercolors?
Hmmm🤔I'd have to try to thin it out with water! But if you do that does it act like watercolors do or does it still act like acrylic?🖌👩🎨🎨💓💖
@yourOneAndonlYFreja99 That's cool ^-^ 💖
You don't have to go for a watercolor effect, you can use acrylics for a solid bold painting too. But if you do thin it out with water, it'll have similar effect but just won't reactivate once it's dry.
And the paper for watercolor I think is called watercolor paper xD it's a bit thicker and often made of cotton.
@BlueDarkAurora
I wanna go for watercolors cause I have yet to try that yet👩🎨!
Do you know if the watercolor paper is expensive?
This is random but since im planning to paint a Grey cat o wanted to know if you had any pets?🐾🐈🐕🐇🐖🐹🐁🐥🦆🐴🐓🐢🐍🦎🦂🕷🐠🐜🐺🐝
💕💕💖
@yourOneAndonlYFreja99 Oo love that we're trying new art techniques :D and for the watercolor papers, maybe you can look up the prices online. Or maybe at an art supply store nearby.
Haha there's an ant 🐜 there too. I don't have any pets right now 💗
@BlueDarkAurora
I'll go to my local crafts door this weekend and see what they have👍
Haha the ant🐜 was a mistake😅. Is there any pet that you'll like to have in the future?
💖💕
@BlueDarkAurora
I'm experimenting with acrylic paints at the moments, doing landscapes and my favourite places!
I love the vibrancy and consistency of the colours!
💕💜
@Amanda84 That's amazing :D I started with acrylics too and love landscapes 💖 I'm so glad you're enjoying it!
@Amanda84 I'd love to see your art sometime💖
@Tinywhisper11
💜💕
@BlueDarkAurora I've dabbled with all kinds of art and crafts 😁 the best art too I have is make sure your always having fun, there's no wrong or right way, but if your having fun then you've already won 💖
@Tinywhisper11 So true 💖 It's all about the process and the fun of creating art ^-^ 💖
I am an artist, you were talking about tips and tricks and I thought of one with regards to acrylic paint.
Sometimes it's challenging to get the desired look of that oil based paints can give you easily. So my advice to anyone working with acrylics is to be patient and layer the colors to achieve the look you're going for.
Happy painting!
@RoxyFantastic Hii, thank you for sharing! 💖 Layering in acrylics is really great way to make colours pop. A white base helps too ^-^ Such a great tip.
Try doing a value drawing... But instead of black and white, use purple. The entire range, from a very soft purple to a very deep dark hue. <3
@jesusredeemedme2425 oh that's cool 💖
Also use lighter acrylic brush markers on darker paper. The effect is INCREDIBLE <3
@jesusredeemedme2425 yesss ^-^
@BlueDarkAurora
Has anyone tried these AI that generates a profile pic for your dating app ?
They claim to generate natural-looking photos while still keeping your real face.
I don’t really like going out much, so if it’s actually at the quality shown on their website, I feel like it’s worth trying it.
Curious if this is actually real or just hype.
※I tried with GPT and Gemini, but the quality wasn’t as good as theirs. Maybe they’re using some specific tech?
@BlueDarkAurora I've been experimenting by creating stamps out of erasers. I carve them with an x-acto knife, and it has been fun!
@Dreamsarebiggerthanfears I just looked up some diy eraser stamps and they're all so creative. Thanks for sharing this, I'll give it a try :D
@BlueDarkAurora
you're welcome. You're gonna have so much fun! 😄
@Dreamsarebiggerthanfears
@yourOneAndonlYFreja99 Hii, replying here and aw look at you, you're making some awesome progress ^-^ 💖 I'm sure that final sketch is beautiful. Best of luck with the painting, it'll be beautiful too 🌸🦋
I've started painting a scene from the movie Howl's moving castle. It's wonderful so far, hope I don't ruin it xD
@BlueDarkAurora Ooo I don't know much about painting specifically but I know everything about inspiration. The best form of inspiration is looking at others art, when you feel what they felt, see what they see, and experience their heart you can't help but want to compose your own. Try looking at art sites online. :}
