Ugh, it's been a long time since I've painted the good old Jiao... Come on, admit it, who didn't do their homework and made the teacher angry??>:( Oh yeah... An experimental palette! I don't even know if I like it or not
I've started an experimental phase of my art journey. It's a challenging time for me. I try to draw and paint using different techniques, brushes, and color palettes.
I'm on the way to exploring my artistic voice.
I hope it'll be a great time to share my thought and emotions about this.
The 1st thought I can say is:
I need to be an explorer as often as possible. It allows me to look inside myself. It allows me to get to know myself better. It's very motivating.
I do browse some weird things on places like Youtube, without a doubt! Definitely in the search of inspiration 9 out of 10 times though (as you can see)...
Acrylic on canvas.
50cm x 70cm.
This started as a purely experimental abstract piece, but evolved to include both abstract and surreal (i.e. representational) elements.
A working page for a book i am developing about vampires. i starts with a raw ink sketch, gets scanned and i work them up on a xp pen tablet - but this is just experimental - and not final.
Adobe just released a new drawing and painting app Fresco for the iPad. Here are few experimental images. I have to say I am impressed with the natural media brushes and the interface.
