So I am finally able to work again, and I got started with a painting of BOW.

I had traded messages with her, and she was going to suggest a few pictures that she liked, but I ended up starting without her. I'm sure I picked a pretty common one that others would choose to do as it shows off her face and eyes,...

I know. I guess it's just the sacrifice we make to have the world at our fingertips.

Silver Lining:
It gives my plenty of people to make fun of!

While I was still waiting on a couple of people that were in the process of finding and sending me their suggested photos to paint, a friend suggested a portrait of Akemi. I had done the last painting smaller, so I still had the other half of that watercolor paper stretched and stapeled to my board. With the smaller area, I thought a close-up...

I think it's interesting to see an artist's workspace, it's easy to see that you get a lot of work done here. I need some sort of setup like this hahahah.

Here's my 4th finished painting of a Suicide Girl...

This time Fatality sent me a few images that she had picked out as ones that I am assuming she either liked the most or thought would look best as one of my watercolors (but you'd have to ask her on that). Of the 3 she sent, I chose this one utilizing the "Goldilocks method"...one was...

For the few who bother to read these, this is the latest watercolor (of NicoleLee)...

As I've found many many times in the past, I choose images for certain reasons and then sometimes when I get around to actually painting them, those reasons either now seem stupid or totally elude me. Originally, I was going to play with the competition of this image and...

I'm in pure shock. I'm in disbelief that someone would paint me, let alone something this phenomenal. Thank you. Simply, thank you.

my second and most current painting...

I don't want to be negative about the first one I did, but I knew I was going to have issues painting it. I didn't know what they'd be, but I suspected that at minimum, with this first slump-buster I'd be a little out of practice. The main speed bump I did hit that I wasn't expecting was that...

thanks Palisade7. I'm hoping to have a chance to go to the museum in Prague. I know its going to be such a different experience seeing them in person after only seeing them in books. Just the size of the posters and paintings will be impactful. We have the Dalvador Dali museum here on the west coast of florida and some of his more famous paintings are there and I had no idea how huge they were. Maybe my memory is exaggerating this, but some of them must have been 2 stories tall. Its was an unfogettable experience.

OK first blog EVER, I'll try not to sound too much like a self-important know-it-all douchebag...

I've been thinking for some time about painting a bunch of the SuicideGirls and FINALLY got the ball rolling. I have wanted to get back to painting and drawing full-time for awhile. Since I also need to eat and pay the rent, I'm going to try and make this...

palisade7:
Great work. You did an amazing job controlling the edges (one of the most difficult parts of watercolor). I love the use of the lost edge on the left side of the torso (from the figure's perspective, her right side). I think a background (purple perhaps) would really help the figure pop. Right now, the lights of the figure have to compete with the starkness of the white background. A few cast shadows underneath the figure may help her look like she's occupying a space. You did a fantastic job on the tattoos. They look like they sit on the skin and follow the contours of the body (sometimes when I see people paint tattoos, it looks like they're floating in space). Excellent job.

I think you're right, I'll probably go back in and throw some shadow underneath her knees/legs. thanks.
