colours

Once again playing with shapes, colours, marks, and loads of squiggly, smudgy ink lines. No pressure. Just trying to get back into splashing around with paint and seeing what emerges.

I made a mess! And it makes me happy!  Because I finally 'did' something after what seems like a too-long period of very little art. This is a 'no pressure' piece, playing with shapes, colours, just making marks, doodles, and just allowing things to emerge. Brilliantly therapeutic.

Is it me? Is it the sunlight? Is it the time of year? Why do colours seem more vibrant and why does everything seems more enjoyable?

A portrait painting of a vintage dislocated puppet head. Created with mixed media including vintage storybook pages, old photographs and stamps. Pen and ink, gouache, and watercolours.

Markers, Water colours, Pencil crayons, OH MY!

I love doing pen work. Might do an entire children's book in this style. Maybe faded colours.

This is the result of a DTIYS challenge on Instagram. Done with ink lines and watercolours on watercolour paper.

Done with liquid watercolours and fineliner on watercolour paper.

For the last day of Inktober, I drew a pumpkin with black india ink on orange paper. I had never done an Inktober challenge before, and I really liked it! I'm definitely doing it next year, too. I got very good ideas for new projects, I played with different textures and colours, and I used a calligraphic pen to draw, which I had never done before and which I loved.

Done with liquid watercolours and fineliner on watercolour paper.

Remembering how to use watercolours again.

Limited colours can turn colourful if you have a colourful mind.

Daily Upload 200 !!!! Oh, yeah, here we are, might as well celebrate ... The Festival of Holli the Holy was a one week holiday that many Nord villages kept in old Nornwan .

Handdrawn stickers in pastel colours.

Recently I saw beautiful Van Gogh exhibition. I really enjoyed movement of his brush and vivid colours. It was more about energy and feelings than realistic details. I am always gravitating towards realism and always want to spend more and more time perfecting paintings like they are never really finished so this time I decided to challenge myself not to do that.

Played with cheapest watwrcolours on watercolour paper.

A little experiment with composite realism of sorts.

All yellow, apart from the bits of green. This one was done with gouache, watercolours and coloured pencil.

Painted with the Kuretake Gansai Tambi art noveau set and coloured pencil.

Another one! I ended up having so much fun with neon colours, that I decided to turn it into a series - last time it was Vega, now it's her companion Cyrus rocking those bright colours

Caffeine rushes are essential to creativity (at least here!).

There is something so peaceful about watching the sky changing its colours. :) Wish you a wonderful friday!!

13 young, Indian adults, struggling with mental health issues, explained what colour represented her/his fear and which represented hope/happiness. The left half of the face has all the colours associated with fear, while the right shows hope/happiness.

...made of pumpkin. Done with watercolours, coloured pencil and some details in gel pen on mixed media paper.

Happy new week!
