Painting abstract flowers in acrylic paint (Art journal ideas)

For those that love painting flowers, or wish they could... don't be afraid! And don't think that the only way to paint is Realistic because Abstract, Folk or Figurative styles are a lot of fun!

For practice and for the actual joy of painting in paper, I recommend to use your Art Journal it is so much fun, then you see all the colorful pages.
If you are a beginner artist, this is an Easy way to create and practice painting Botanical Art ♥

So much art....

...and so little post to show it!
Funny when I'm running the 29 faces challenge I seem to be always around the blog, but  even when I am still doing as much art, for one reason or another I don't come here to post :oP
For one thing, I am doing the 100 day project and posting it all in (gasp!) Instagram. Yes, I know, I left tons of networks with a self memo not to join anything anymore,and I have been happy that way, but this one project runs there and felt like a big incentive, and I found out taking a pic with the iPad and posting/sharing from there too is a lot easier.... BUT I do not like it as a place to socialize. I think it is as bad as Pinterest and less organized. Not for me except for posting my 100 projects.
With all that said, here is an image of some of the stuff posted there:


I haven't taken pictures or scan them so all I have is the iPad image.

In other news, I have a new video too!


Can you tell I have been in a neon pink kind of mood? :oD
If you want to make a video art-collab with me, let me know! You have to have a youtube channel though ;o)

Thanks for visiting!

Face 25 is abstract.





I am enjoying more and more doing abstracts.
It's been difficult because I love to go into details so much, and I love my tiny paint brushes, but there is freedom in a larger brush and simpler paint strokes.

In this case the flash for the photo changed one of the eyes, but I liked the effect so I left it, didn't correct it so it has an extra effect not planned. :o)

In this 29 faces challenge we are working on techniques and different ways from our usual as an exercise for the mind and hopefully the growth of our art.

Day 16 of 29. Fire red

Another WIP in my art journal plus a cool digital effect. I think I like the digital version better!



I also want to take a moment to THANK you all for the wonderful hearth-warming comments about the 29 faces challenge... some of them have moved me to tears and I'm not kidding.
So much love and joy has to come out all wet from my eyes at times haahah yes, I am that silly.
Creative people meeting more artsy people in a far away place and making a new friend, that will bring something positive to their lives. It is a beautiful thing. ♥

29 Faces challenge, day 1

Happy beginning of the month!  Happy 29 Faces challenge!

I am posting 3 faces today, just in case I get too busy in the next couple of days. Last time I had about 100 emails a day and I absolutely love it, but doesn't leave much time to create (•‿-)
So here are one, two and three:



My personal challenge is to loosen my brush and free my backgrounds.
Knowing myself I will go back and work on them some more, but I really enjoyed letting go and make some abstract.
Remember to post a hashtag #29faces in the networks, so we can click that and find each other! And also use the tag/label in you blog post.

Oh! Happy Chinese new year too!


May we all get unstuck from wherever we were!

The traveling paint...

I am part of the year long collab Traveling Art Project, orchestrated by Joyce Van der Lely.
The list of participants is long, but I have to mention Heather Santos mailed to me, and this is what happened. In the 1st image you can see my pencil sketch, then I added paint little by little, making the collaged drops more prominent:

The last few...

As we come to another end of the 29 faces challenge, I feel a mix of sadness and relief ;oP  Relief because some days it was a struggle, even if a fun one, not only to make my face but to post and to run the 3 sites (public page, private group and blogs... plus not to mention reality and family) specially in the very beginning. But then at the end, when it is running like a well oiled machine, I can really enjoy it, it is fascinating! But things come to a conclusion and I confess I will have a huge art withdrawal.

I have seen the growth in participants in their art and style and I am so thrilled and honored to be a witness to that ♥

Visit the huge Linky list HERE to have your daily fix of art, enjoy a new blog, leave them a comment and make a new friend in a far away place.  We have people from Australia, Argentina,  Belgium, Canada, England, Finland, France, Germany, Netherlands, Norway, many places in the US ... Where else? Did I miss your country, let me know!

OK, my two last faces for today: My main goal this time around was to loosen my paint brush strokes.
This first face, is a re-work I'm doing slowly. I have been adding crazy patterns for weeks, on top of a weird portrait that was not going the way I wanted, so after the colorful random patterns I am adding a face that explains at this point why the eyes are in different colors :o)


This second one was started with leftover paints from another work I was doing. I will finish her soon and all the unfinished faces will eventually be posted here in my blog :o)

She resembles my little ACEO girls, but it is a 9x12 watercolor paper.

....hhmmmm maybe I will make some ACEO in fall theme next. (◔‿◔)

Can't stop this feeling anymore...

I have that song stuck in my head now lol...
There are some things in life that are hard to stop, like falling in love, eating chocolate.... or creating Gelli prints. Once I start, it's hard to stop!

Abstracts

This past week or two I have been obsessed with gelli printing. It is so much fun! But best of all, it allows me to finally like my abstracts. I have never been able to enjoy or create a decent abstract. I am still not where I wish to be, which is a more organic level, but I am satisfied this far :o)
This are just a sample of my recent work. I have probably 100 more I made :oD




I also have been working on my Face in the World painting, I will post tomorrow, and mail it to Manon in the UK. and her Paper Saturday HERE
