I won't act as if I understand anything about abstract art, but I love the earthy tones combined with the blues of the water, as well as that texture you created at the top right. And in leaving certain parts clear of any color you have created a sense of air as well, allowing it to breathe if that makes sense. Also interesting to hear some of the thought processes while creating this piece! 💖👏
@cat_purrs_art_works3 күн бұрын
Thank you An! 💖 That texture in top right is a winner, right? I loved painting that bit as much as I enjoy looking at it. 😻 I think you and I would have such a jol (party) playing abstract painting together. I don't understand abstract art either. I think that's kinda the trick to creating it - gotta switch the thinking brain off. 😽

That's a very sweet ruler you have! 🤩I'll need to find me one as well - makes it easier to cover a large sheet of paper. Also really liked your tip of also adding some 'anchor points', that's a great idea! 💖👍 Thanks Cat!😚
@cat_purrs_art_works7 күн бұрын
Thank you An! 😻 I have no regrets about getting myself this ruler - it makes me very happy. 😸 The only reason I don't put anchor points inside the image too is because I live in horror that I'll finish the drawing then discover the ghosts of L23 and M24 have come back to haunt me. 😹

I sometimes feel getting that dark background in is the trickiest part of the entire drawing - it always stresses me out. 😅 Great work on that little out-of-focus hawk moth! 💖🙌 I think making it look out-of-focus is probably harder because you always have to balance and make sure you don't put too much detail in it or the effect would be ruined. But you did an amazing job! 💯

@cat_purrs_art_works I look forward to seeing the itsy bitsy spider. 🕷 And I agree with what you're saying about the symbolism (even though I think the fingers look fine to me) of having it not be perfect as most things in life never are. 🙏

@anvankets Did some more work on the fingers now and they're starting to look right even though they aren't technically right. Hard to describe but it's like laying tiles - gotta choose the most visible wall as the parrallel. The wonky bits can get hidden behind the door.
