A painting I did for @Siiw's birthday while our son was working on his drawing for her. 💚

Last night I wanted to explore the world of #Mana a bit more in watercolours, so I decided to paint a scene I had in mind to celebrate a Dutch Discord friend getting a new job.

Painted this in half an hour or so based on some hypnagogic imagery from this morning.

It's long overdue, but I'm attempting to paint the #ManaTree from #SecretOfMana for the #SNES again, this time in portrait mode to get more of the tree in.
It's quite likely gonna take a while to finish this. I want to put more detail in it than in the previous version, and take more time layering it.
Once I have this version done, I also suspect doing another one right away, since I'll have a better idea of how all the objects come together on the smaller paper size.

Slowly getting back into aquarelle painting again.
Two evenings ago I painted this wintery scene based on a photograph I took in #Bodø just under 3 years ago, around 9 in the morning.
Quite satisfied with how it turned out, especially the sun coming up from behind the mountains, though less so with the recognisability of the mountains.Paper: 230 grams A5 paper from Søstrene Grene, 100% paper.
Paint: a mix of Panduro Watercolour Set Basic, Van Gogh Water Colour, Daniel Smith Hansa Yellow Light, and some white gouache.#FiXatoPaints #FiXatoCreative #painting

Did a quick #aquarelle #painting this evening on some #A5 #watercolour paper from #SøstreneGrene.
Some cauliflower blooms from overworking it, but overall I'm satisfied with the end results.
A bit of a warmer image to contrast the cold winter weather that's prevalent on these short dark December days.#FiXatoPaints #FiXatoCreative #aquarellePainting #waterColourArt #fediArt #mastoArt #artShare #creativeToot #creativeToots #aquarel #akvarell #waterColours #waterColor

In preparation for setting up a webshop to try to sell some of my #artwork, I've started taking new photos of my #paintings and collecting them in an album: https://photos.app.goo.gl/igZY5EiYjjuoPQSh9
To keep track of my #mastoArt you can also follow any of the following hashtags I try to use:
- #FiXatoPaints for my paintings, mostly in #aquarelle #waterColours.
- #FiXatoFoto for my photographs, which usually consists of landscapes and urban scenes.
- #FiXatoCreative for anything creative by me, incl writing.
-
Finally did some aquarelle painting again last night!
This time I used the cover art for the #MSX game #Snatcher by #Konami as inspiration along with some in-game sprite work to fill in some blanks.The image is marked as sensitive due to eye-contact, the droid's cybernetic nature and minor gore in the form of blood splatters and singular 'human' eye.
It's painted on 300 gsm cold-pressed wood-free paper from Søstrene Grene with aquarelle water colour paints from Royal Talens' "Van Gogh" line.

I've put the Baldur's Gate #aquarelle under the #scanner last night; I think I actually like the results from photographing it with my phone better. The #Canon #MG2550S makes it look rather pale, and some of the brush strokes seem to stand out more?
It can probably be improved quite a bit in post-processing, but I was hoping for better results straight out of the box.
(I also need to do manual cropping, as it doesn't recognise the borders well enough...)Fellow #artists, any recommendations when scanning or otherwise #digitising your work?

CW: budget art supplies recommendation
If you have a #Rusta shop nearby, you might want to see if they also have the Playbox of Sweden "maleveske" on offer for 69.90 NOK. Clas Ohlson has the same set in their permanent assortment, rebranded, but at 129.90 NOK usually, so almost double the cost.
While aimed at kids, I've personally found the oil pastels to be quite satisfying, and even the water colour paints where vibrant and a joy to play with. Of course I don't expect lightfastness and they don't list the pigments used, but so far my rainbow whirlpool painting is still brightening up one of our walls. :)
Unfortunately I can't check how my oil pastels drawing of aurora borealis over Tromsø is doing, as I accidentally left it at the in-laws and haven't seen it since, and my peacock feather in oil pastels is too recent anyway.
#BeardGrabber really enjoys using his box from time to time, so I picked up two more yesterday; one for me, and one to either restock his, or to use as a gift.

Dark Tower: The Gunslinger in water colours
Tried my hand at a fairly #monochrome water colour #painting as a practice for #huevember, and as an example for an upcoming experiment: painting with tea.
Ended up using two different colours though, rather than one: #Panduro's #YellowOchre and #BurntUmber.
Three different brushes: a number 12 round brush from #SøstreneGrene, a number 2 flat brush from #GreneArt, and a number 2 round brush probably, though I'm not sure as it had no markings on it.
Painted on 230 grams acid-free A5 watercolour paper from Søstrene Grene.Painted after the example of #SteveStone's original cover art: https://shop.suntup.press/products/the-dark-tower-i-the-gunslinger-fine-art-print

CW: long (close to 3000 chars) follow-up post going into detail on the water color papers used.
The A5 "Anna & Clara's Watercolour Paper" pad of 20 x 200 grams + 10 x 300 grams I bought for 34.90 NOK (or 3.20 EUR) from #SøstreneGrene is not great imho... I think it's probably more aimed at gouache than aquarelle...
I find it too smooth, and water mostly just pools up too much on top of it... The field of flowers was painted on the 200 grams paper, but as the (lack of) texture is the same on the 300 grams sheets, I doubt those will be much better. Though I bet the latter will at least buckle and warp less.The A5 "Anna & Clara's Watercolour Paper Acid-Free" pad with 10 x 230 grams white sheets + 10 x 230 grams black sheets onto which I painted the bottom-left #BaldursGate scene is more like the similar paper I got and used previously from Søstrene Grene (which I used for the top-left Baldur's Gate scene).
It has quite some more texture, and —most importantly— it absorbs the water and paints better. I suspect it's actually the same paper, but now the pads have half their sheets replaced with black sheets.I kinda wish they'd put the original pads back into their assortment instead, as the black sheets are more useful for metallic water colour paints, which I currently don't have. I guess I could play around with mixing the white gouache with my aquarelle paints, and use that on the black sheets?
At 23.30 NOK (or 1.98 EUR) for 20 sheets, it's cheap aquarelle paper that works quite well for my practice sessions, but with half of the sheets being basically unusable for me, it's not as affordable as the pads they previously sold...I still want to add some more foliage to the first Baldur's Gate painting (top-left), but I wanted to wait for daytime sunlight before working on it again, so instead I started a new one without looking at the example.
(And I'll probably want to scan the first one before working on it again, in case I ruin it...)The cute little ghost on A6 paper is the main character from #MrGhost aka #Yuureikun for the #MSX, which I painted two days ago. Painted with just the #PrussianBlue and the #OpaqueWhite from the #RoyalTalens' #VanGogh series. I was tempted to add the light-green background to it that one of the example screenshots had, but ended up just sticking to the monochrome version you see here.
This paper is a fine-grained cold pressed cotton rag postcard paper from #Fabriano, which I got many years ago as a kid, but never really used till recently. I always found the paper too precious, and considered my skills lacking too much to make proper use of it. It's only recently that I've felt comfortable using it.I'll take proper pictures of them by daylight tomorrow, and will maybe add some more detailed image descriptions then as well.

Got some more #aquarelle #painting done. :)
I started with some wet-on-wet experimenting on the top half, and then had to come up with what I would fill the remainder of the A5 #SøstreneGrene #waterColour paper with.
Ended up with some kind of wet-on-dry river with wet-on-wet beach scene, even though the tones don't quite match the lighting of the sky, I guess. :)It was good to experiment a bit with techniques though, and to not follow an example directly.
Materials used:
- Søstrene Grene acid-free watercolour paper, 20 x A5, 230 grammes
- #Panduro #WaterColourSetBasic (just for the #YellowOchre)
- #RoyalTalens' #VanGogh #WaterColourPaints (primarily #PrussianBlue, #PermanentYellowGreen, #Gamboge, #PermanentRedDeep, and #VermillionRed)
- A variety of brushes; mostly #GreneArt and #WinsorAndNewton

Decided to clear my mind a bit by #painting by the light of the #midnightSun.
Went with my take on what I remembered from an Easy Misty Forest painting tutorial by TheFrugalCrafter Lindsay Weirich on YouTube.
It's not quite finished; I'd like to add another tree in the foreground, as well as some foliage around the top and edges, but the mosquitoes are starting to eat me up... and I'd like these layers to fully dry before adding the final ones.Painted with a mix of #RoyalTalens' #VanGogh and #Panduro water colour paints on 180 grammes woodfree aquarelle A5 paper from #Dekorima / #Colart Sweden.
Paper buckles a bit too much from the water; I guess I should go with thicker paper, but it blends a lot better than on the cheap Nassau Fine Art aquarelle paper pad I'd been using lately.

Soul shade
We got a set of #NassauFineArt #AquarelBrushMarkers from an offer at our local #Rusta the other day, so after some experimenting last night to get a bit more used to this weird medium that's not quite markers and not quite water colour paint, I ended making this quick sketch with them.
I started off with the tree as I wanted to play around a bit with greens, and then decided I wanted to turn the pink spot in the top right corner that was leftover from last night's blending tests, into a pink and blue sky.
Filled up the remaining whitespace with a yellow beach.Not quite sure if these #waterColourBrushMarkers are really for me, but I do like how the sky turned out.
I can certainly see their appeal, especially on the go, as they require far less setting up. Basically just need a surface, a drawing pad, and some water to fill up your water brush reservoir.

While I at first wanted to try my hand at doing my impression of Don Rosa's cover for "Music Inspired By The Life And Times Of Scrooge McDuck", imposter syndrome set in, so instead I decided to try my hand at redoing one of the first #paintings that got me back into painting, almost a year ago; my Rainbow maelstrøm painting on July 2nd of 2021.
There are certainly things I will do differently the next time I iterate on it, such as trying to better plan where the spirals meet to prevent muddying colours, but I don't want to feed my #imposterSyndrome.
So, instead I'll just say that I'm satisfied with how it turned out, and if it dries up as intended, I'll consider it an improvement over my original. :)
Materials used:
- Nassau Fine Art / Art sensations "Aquarel Grain Fin Artists' Watercolour Paper", 300 GSM, 140LB, A4, 20 sheets pad.
- Clas Ohlson water colour cakes

@indiedee I've posted most of mine under the hashtags #FiXatoCreative, #FiXatoPaints and #FiXatoDraws :)
I really ought to consolidate it all onto a page of my own... but that requires some headspace to work on, and to set aside my perfectionism. ;)

Ended up doing a full #A4 #painting of some kind of #explosion as well.
A bit reminiscent of the earlier one I did that was inspired by a panel from The Jain's Death.I might need some more yellow soon. xD

It's nothing like @welshpixie's excellent #calligraphy art, but this quick #doodle of the "Don't Blink" phrase associated with the #WeepingAngels lore from #DoctorWho, scratched enough of the #painting itch I was having. ;)
Wish I'd sketched out the 'wings' a bit before adding them though; I now think it looked better without them.

A Clouded Mind's Struggle for Balance
Did some more painting for a change tonight, finally trying out the A4-sized pad of aquarel paper I bought at Rusta last week. For its cheap price, it's remarkably decent actually.

Water colours on budget acid-free watercolour paper
Bought a pad of #budget #watercolours paper from #SøstreneGrene yesterday, so tonight I wanted to try it out.
It's 20 sheets of #A5 230 grams acid-free paper, with a 100% #FSC (#ForestStewardshipCouncil) label, so I'm guessing this is wood paper, and not cotton, but at 32,90 NOK (2,80 EUR / 2,86 GBP) I guess that was to be expected. It has a nice texture to it; not too strong, but just enough.
Didn't curl much while on the pad, though now that the individual sheets are drying on the desk, the wettest one has some curling at the top and bottom; might want to leave it on the pad for longer, or use paper clamps.Water and colour perhaps didn't spread as evenly as I'd liked, but that could also still be my lacking skills.
All in all, I'm quite satisfied with the results, and thus the paper; at least at its price while I'm still experimenting. Means I can keep the higher quality paper for when I'm more seasoned.

I just realised I never shared a bigger version of my #rainbow #whirlpool #drawing.
So, here is it, my #waterColour #painting of #rainbows swirling around in a #maelstrom like fashion, lying in the sun on a grass field.

Preview of the #painting I was working on before it was time for dinner.
I guess I'm trying to create a #rainbow #maelstrom?
Mostly just wanted to play with #colours.

Some more #drawing with #BeardGrabber today. This time a bunch of #rainbows and some colourful flowers while the kiddo grabbed the colours for me, and added his own strokes and points to it. :)

#BeardGrabber and I had some fun earlier #painting together with his #waterColours.
He was mostly spreading water and random colours onto the paper, and I tried to bring it all together into this colour #landscape #drawing. :)#MastoArt #parenting #dadsOfMastodon #ParentsOfMastodon #art #artwork #FiXatoDraws #FiXatoPaints #DescribedMedia
