You really have to zoom in, but: all the green-blues of a nocturne, & they way they tunnel into the chest. I went to an Australian Impressionists exhibition & it was so striking, the way the chalk-and-sand daylight pieces looked backlit, & how the nocturnes seemed let into the wall. #artthoughts

Witness the mesmerizing interplay of light and shadow in Alphonse Legros' "Landschap met regenwolken en twee bukkende figuren." The figures, almost lost in the vast landscape, evoke deep contemplation. How does nature shape our emotions?

Leave comments to your fave artists that you love their stuff. Comment on their page/website/socials- even dm them if you're shy, but just tell them you love what they are creating. I dm creator friends' comments all the time because their fandoms scare me 🤣 #webcomics #artists #artthoughts

Erwin Olaf’s "Grijze doos voor serie foto's Rain" challenges perception with its minimalist approach, inviting a contemplative exploration of emotions captured within the confines of a gray box. How does this piece resonate with your own experiences of the unexpected?

Ink drawing. You can destroy it at every stage, in every moment. Last stroke may be one too much. And you still need to be brave enough to put it and see for yourself, experiment. Try it out, give it to your children, do it together. #artThoughts #ink #sumie

If you’re overwhelmed with possibilities of digital tools and emptiness of the white artificial canvas, try ink, brush and a cheap*, textured paper. *cheap enough so it doesn’t block you from using it freely. #artThoughts

Exploring the depth of François Collignon's 'Zicht op Saint-Cloud' #Rijksmuseum. The intricate detail and play of light capture the heart of the period. What emotions does it spark in you?

In den regentijd is a piece transporting viewers in time, creating storms within and tranquil water outside; a resonating paradox by De Ruyter & Meijer, 1881. What feelings does this stir in you?

Kinda in this weird situation where I've rarely had the energy to work on more comic pages so I've instead been drawing my OCs out of context to keep practicing in-between, but now every comic page looks a little *too* different from the rest cause I'm getting better at drawing my OCs and it's not happening gradually throughout the comic pages so it looks like my characters are drawn inconsistently, and I'm so proud of the progress I see but the comic feels so silly all together lol. Like, dude, I barely have the energy to keep drawing the few pages I've already drawn throughout the last few months; I'm not gonna have the energy to go back and redraw every other page just so it looks the same. So... Yeah. Sorry about that lmao

Exploring #Hokusai's 'Rain Below the Mountain' at #ClevelandMuseumofArt. Majestic Mt. Fuji shrouded in sudden shower contrasts clear weather majesty. How does weather influence your perception of beauty?

Immerse yourself in Kasuga Shrine Mandala (#ClevelandMuseumofArt). Savor the journey through golden paths, red-and-white shrine halls, to sacred mountaintops. What mystery lies in its five divine beings & sacred deer? #ArtLovers #JapaneseArt
Do you feel the sacred aura, too? #ArtThoughts

In today's #Caravanserai post, Madagascar returns to haunt me with thoughts on pure creativity and how art traditions can unwittingly be colonised and corrupted.

I love planning out the art I hope to make each year. I know I may not get everything I want created but it always leaves me feeling inspired.

I was recently asked, "is it easier for you to draw something from a photograph, rather than the physical object? Is that why you are taking reference photos?"
The answer is twofold, I don't have a lot table space in my studio to have a still life set up near me. Plus, there's also the issue of my furry studio assistant who would gladly run off with a feather first chance she gets. 🖤

Oil pastels on paper © 2020There is a captivating joy in performing the vestigial function of reading order into chaos; and pain in failing to do so (especially if you failed to notice the tiger lurking in the bushes).

Sometimes what we see as a failure is really just a stepping stone, another part of the creative process that helps us find our way forward.

Update on the drawing backgrounds question:
I think I'll spend a few practice sessions on doing photostudies of bedrooms.
Why bedrooms? If it is not a hotel-like bedroom, I'll have all sorts of shadowplay on the blankets and cussions. So lots of practice on soft and hard shadows that are usefull for different objects.
I already did 3 today, might share them sooner or later. But finding stock photos of such bedrooms is difficult.

In one batch it generated an image that I thought was really cool, but it just couldn't enhance it in the direction I wanted. Maybe this would be the perfect use case for getting inspiration through these AIs and then drawing it yourself.. 🤔

Despite a few years of painting masks, it still feels weird when I have to stick a paint brush up a nostril.
