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.

Mine has dried up now, so I removed the tape. It's gotten quite a bit duller. Can't say I'm very satisfied with my own, but it was fun painting this side by side with kiddo. :)

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

Finally got around to hanging up a bunch of picture frame ledges on my walls. :)
Next to fit my archive of photographs and #FiXatoPaints artwork into frames and hopefully get inspired and motivated to make more #FiXatoCreative things. -

Next up is another #splatterPainting. This one was made on top of a failed attempt of the earlier posted hackers.town mantis logo.
I like the contrast between the brighter rainbow colours and the darker background from the failed mantis logo.Probably could do with a passepartout though.

Also did my version of the #HackersTown mantis logo then, which I already showed last night, but now photographed in daylight.
It also got hit by some splash damage from my splatter paintings, but I think it fits in well enough. 😅

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.

Lost in the Fog
Hmm, last night's aquarelle painting didn't quite turn out the way I'd expected.
I think I might have to use this as a background and paint (or draw?) in a foreground scene.
I kinda like the sort of shrubbery or waves effect the added salt created though.#FiXatoPaints #FiXatoCreative #painting

Galactic Fireworks over Grassy Fields
A quick aquarelle painting I did last night, mostly just to get something on paper as it'd been too long since I touched my art supplies.
Quite satisfied with the end result! A lovely explosion of colours, especially in the sky.#VanGogh and #Panduro #aquarelle #waterColours on A5-sized 230 gsm acid-free 100% paper.

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.

Found a photo of one of my earliest #paintings that my mother had kept. Not quite sure how old I was; suspect about the same age as #BeardGrabber is now. Probably made with #ecoline #waterColours, and seems to be some kind of forest scene?
I should ask kiddo what he thinks is in that #drawing.Thank you for keeping this mam. 💚
(Though I'm not sure if it actually ended up getting saved in my move to Norway several years ago due to the rush of clearing the parental home...)#FiXatoCreative #FiXatoPaints #parenting #mastoArt #FediArt #KidsArt #painting #art #dailyPhoto

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.

Painted #BeardGrabber's toy phone from his grandparents' toy box.
Turned out better than I originally expected. Adding shading and highlights is still something I struggle with, but it feels like I'm improving at it. :)
Don't usually do still-life pictures; usually I prefer painting after existing examples as they already have done the abstracting of details stage for me.#FiXatoCreative #FiXatoPaints #mastoArt

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.

Did some more #aquarelle #painting today, two of them inspired by this scene from Baldur's Gate since I just love the colour combinations on the foliage, and have wanted to recreate it ever since I first played the game over 20 years ago.
Another is just some random clouds and flower field thing to test the absorption rate and blending quality of a new water colour pad I got at #SøstreneGrene today.#FiXatoCreative #FiXatoPaints #DailyPhoto #mastoArt #waterColours

Hmm, maybe I should start posting my #FiXatoPaints stuff more frequently to #deviantArt again instead.

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

#hashtags I regularly use:
- #FiXatoCreative a collection of all my creative outlets. I usually combine these with one of the following:
- #FiXatoPaints for my physical media paintings and #FiXatoPaintsDigitally for my digital ones.
- #FiXatoDraws drawings made with other materials than paint. Distinction is not always very clear cut, and I may use them interchangeably.
- #FiXatoWrites for my writing activities
- #FiXatoFoto as well as #photography and #dailyPhoto for photographs I've taken.
Then there's also these other topics that interest me:
- #FiXatoCodes and #coding (which is perhaps better used as a profile filter: FiXato's #coding posts)
- #FiXatoStreams for my posts about my #livestreaming activities.
- #FiXatoBlog for posts I would like to expand to full blog posts at a later point, or for posts about the development of said blog.
- #MSX and #MSX2 for posts about the MSX #homecomputer from the 80s.
- #FiXatoFood for food I eat and/or make

Mana Tree: Painting with water colours by example
Quite satisfied how my version of the #ManaTree from #SecretOfMana for the #SuperNintendo turned out.
Feel free to compare it to the original art of the Secret of Mana Mana Tree.While I used #waterColour #paint, I also realise I probably haven't really used the medium the way it is supposed to be used. Perhaps I should give acrylics a try too. :)
I like using it for backgrounds such as water and sky, but I struggle a bit with using it for mid- and foreground details.
It will be interesting to come back to this piece, and redo it when I've grown more accustomed to the media and techniques.
