"dark sky desert"

painting, 2023

I got my idea from a painting I saw on google and it reminded me from the time I spend with my dad who lives in arizona. He works on the border so we used to see a bunch of desert stuff and bunch of big cactus around. I use a pencil to make a outline of what i was going to make and of the cactus in the middle. I use water color paint to color in the picture and also so I could blend it in and make it a little bit lighter on the top.  The meaning of the artwork was just to show how lonely times can be and how sometimes small things can look. the symbolism is the cactus is like someone who is all alone and left there all by them self. trying not get black paint in the orange because it was spreading easily because sometimes I would accidentally use too much water. I think this is a realstic artwork. something I like about it is how the color blends in with the orange.

Tooth Brush

painting, 2023 

I got this idea because I was looking through the cards u could choose through and I decided this would be a good idea. I used a pencil to make the outline of the tooth brush and I took inspiration from the gum brands toothbrush design. Then I used red paint to fill the handle of the brush, after that I let it sit for a little bit then I went for it with white paint to put the gum logo to make look more realistic with using a real brand name toothbrush. Then I used a little black with the brush to give more detail on the head to make like there are more behind each one and then painted white to cover it up and make it look like a toothbrush. There really is no meaning to this artwork but I guess to make sure you brush your teeth.  

Blue Bird

Painting 2023

I got this idea because I was looking at animals that look really cool and I found a realistic looking painting of a blue bird so I decide to make that. I only use paint for this and didn't make a outline for it because I felt I could do it on my own. I mixed blue and white paint to make the blue sky and I also the same paint to color the blue and brown bird. I made a tree branch for the bird to sit on by mixing the darkest yellow with the red to make brown. I made clouds with the white I was using before. I also used the same yellow for the sun and I also added some texture to the sky to make look darker in some spots and lighter in other spots. I watched a video on how to paint a bird which i followed on the artwork but It look like a pretty advanced video though.
