Dipinto esagono alla prima con Dante

Progress shot. This hexagon design was based off a folk art design I saw in a book at the library.

A closeup of how I filled in the various shapes. The goal is to mix paint on the canvas but leave brushwork visible and not overwork it.

Gouache Swatch and the Abstract Eye (Complete)

November 6, 2023

She Is Complete!!
I planned to attach multiple jewels, but decided it was too much. I decided on one jewel near the center of the eye. For the finer details of the drawing I used gel pen. This was a very fun experiment and I would totally love to do more like this.


I live for these moments when I'm in the zone and having fun! This is what art is all about!

New colors!

Say hello to my new pals:

  • Lilac (Holbein) - PV23, PW6
  • Horizon Blue (Holbein) - PB15, PW6
  • Ice Green (Holbein) - PG7, PW6
  • Leaf Green (Holbein) - PY81, PY119, PG7, PW6
  • Blue violet (Cobra) - PV23, PB29, PW7

I've been kind of depressed and low energy lately so I decided to splurge a bit on something nice. I was aware that Holbein had a line of water-mixable oils, and they have some unusual colors that other brands don't offer. I really wanted some lighter opaque colors, and these did not disappoint.

All of these except Leaf Green could be mixed using colors I already have... But I really enjoy having a consistent color every time. Plus they're just pretty to look at. We all have our vices.

Holbein's paint is much thicker than Cobra or W&N. I have yet to see how it mixes with other colors besides Titanium White. But I am so excited. Look at these fabulous hues!
