18 paintings to go!

Art studio

I am super duper excited because my awesome husband is building me an outdoor studio in our backyard. I can't simply wait I'm sure it's going to be amazing.

Can you see the wood placed on the grass, there is where my studio is going to be built.

Will update you with the building development!

I am proud to tell you all that I am done with not one, not two but three paintings all in one day! Countless weeks of blogging, and brainstorming in quest of getting inspired all failed. And now I find out all I needed was a good old Pilates workout with my personal instructor Marissa (love her!) and a warm bath to get my artistic juices flowing.

Closer look at the paintings:






After I was done with my tri-success-paintings, I kid you not my husband took a look at them and stole the blue one to hang it on his office (he couldn’t even wait for the paint to dry!)


On a different note, my three stars ring that I made is finally done, it’s silve but gold-plated!


19 paintings left to go!

Wish me luck I really do need it.

testing testing

So I was playing around with paint the other day and I was hoping to create a splash effect, but not any flat splash effect I want it to look like it was a "perfect splash" (if it does exist) and not look all flat..

This made me think of adding a medium it could be gloss or whatever. So what I did was not actually mix the medium with the paint but pour the medium on top of the canvas then put the paint on it and move it around.

I tried gloss as the medium but it didn’t really work (See left side of the photo) it basically left an ugly tint of yellowish white, which my sister F said looked like barf lol!

So I tried varnish, for people who aren’t into art, varnish is used when the painting is done, but I decided to break the rules and use it now, because I want to! So I poured the varnish and then added white paint on top of the canvas and vowalaaaa it worked! When it dried off the varnish became transparent and the paint inside it look amazing and with a sense of depth! (see right side of the photo)

Now that I have tried this out I shall start working on the concept of the painting I have it in my mind I just need to sketch it out.

Update: I am nearly finished with the painting i was working on! hopefully by today it shall be done~ :)

Jewelry

I took a jewelry making course at Tashkeel, it was quite interesting and fun. But, I knew it's something I do not want to do, because it needs patience and I got none!

Anyways I worked on two pieces, a ring and a pendent, what do you think?

This is a wax mold of the ring it is going to be sent off to be made in silver then it'll be gold plated.

This is a finished piece I made I had to physically cut the silver with a saw.. not fun.. not fun at all..
