Watercolour pencil drawing - Roses

Watercolour pencils was the art medium used for this art exercise. Pencil sketching to start the project, choosing the palette to be used among solid existing pencil watercolours and colours created after mixing. Finally, the appliance of the colors for the final painting. Lovely art session evening!

Mixed media box, and mixed media painting. Acrylics, airdryclay, and other art mediums

After having walked and enjoyed nature sceneries and gathered some flowers, around a village, a painted carton box I created, with acrylics and air dry clay, as well as a homade mixture of plaster, glue, and white acrylic color. Along with the carton box, for storing dried flowers and other nature elements I gather when I go for a walk, a mixed media painting I created as well.

It was also a lovely day in the art studio!

Enjoy,

With love,

Summer evening next to a sunflower field. "Summertime and the living is easy..."

Scrolling chicken, acrylic painting




This time, acrylics were worked at a cardboard, that added texture to the final painting, with its surface and with carved lining. A chicken scrolling next to my garden is the painting's theme. Some stones from the garden along with glitter, and colours, added extra dimension to the final result. That was a lot of fun! 

Still life, acrylic painting



Acrylics on paper, a still life attempt using only basic complementary colors. An orange fruit, an empty vase, a shadowy place and an embelishment, made with stencil and modeling paste. Varnish will keep things in place.

Happy colours flower canvas!

 




Just for the begining of this year's spring, among with gardening and flower gardening, as well as crafting, reading, and generally enjoying the quietness of our small village here in Greece, a not so complicated yet fullfilling flower canvas was completed, with its vibrant happy colours out of the mixture of fluo and metallic acrylic paints, while my everyday work in my art studio is full of on going projects, discoveries and challenges about techniques, mediums, and of course the part of expressing thoughts and feelings while in the process of composing those dialogues that art consists of. I really enjoyed the result of the canvas, that is sized 25cm width to 35cm height, and found it a nice opportunity to have this spring flower acrylic wall art as an oppening post to my new blog, where I plan to post my artwork but most of all the experiences and lessons that art adventure is so rich with. Not to overwhelm you with more routine stories, I actually think that this flower canvas, would be nicely protected in a shabby wooden frame, or other framework of choice, there you can find ceramics, altered or mixed media art themed artistic adventures, deriving from the magical world of my art studio. I wish you enjoy, and all the health and happiness for the forthcoming spring. Take care!

I wanted to create a palette backround on cardboard, at this art project, and also wanted to find out, how well a canvas surface...
