Hi,
Few days ago I was looking at mysterious paintings and pictures, but unfortunately I realised that there aren't as many as I was hoping to find. So after a couple of hours of searching I decided to make my own painting!
Obviously I had a weird idea... I decided to paint a canvas black and then add light using a sock and white paint... And surprisingly it worked! The lights turned out looking very natural and even some random tree shapes and bushes to the painting :D (I had refine them later, but the shapes were already there waiting for me to work with them).
After that, I added some basis trees and then some more trees.. Because trees need their tree friends too.. Even the creepy trees:)
Originally I was planning to add some colour to it, like some lilac flowers for example, but then I changed my mind and decided to make it a black and white painting..
It is a bit strange and a bit creepy.. But that was the whole point of it :)
So without further ado, here are the stages of the painting and the final outcome:
Final:
Stage 1:
This is an acrylic painting done entirely using Mars black (Galeria) and Titanium white (Finity range), both from Winsor and Newton :)
Everyone I've spoken to really likes this painting so I decided to make a series in this theme :)
It will be called "Mars black"
(yup, creative name as always :')
This particular painting is called "Misty Eyes".
Thank you for reading :)
Lots of Love,
Marlena
