December Monthly Submission

Hello everyone! This is a bit late but oh well๐Ÿ˜…


Here is an oil painting i created based on the childhood memories prompt! Its a painting of the black swans outside a clock shop which was my favourite place to go to as a kid. I recently got a refurbished old Cuckoo Clock gifted to me from that shop for Christmas by my Grandfather so I painted something (or things) that reminded me of it!!


I know the perspective is a little off but my main aim was to focus on colour (which is again is not showing up well on my 7 year-old potato phone) - If I were to paint this again id probably try to not change the composition as much from my reference photo like i did this time; it was a struggle to figure out the water without an actual reference :?

December Theme: Childhood Memories

Hi, I just wanted to share this work as it's one of the themes for this month. I used ink, colour pencils and oil pastels. I'd love to hear any things I can do to improve! Its a bit experimental as of with the child-like drawing of the background.

WOW!! This is so beautiful - I love the inclusion of both a more realistic style and a style reminiscent of childhood drawings. You've captured the bright feeling of childhood really well! One of my only suggestions is that the composition is a little heavy on side (specifically the right side with both the sun and butterfly); you could maybe work on balancing it out a bit. This could be done by shifting the balloon on the left to the right a bit to fit in the rule of thirds a bit more. But, other than that, this piece is really phenomenal with a lot of soul!!

November Theme submission

Hello everyone!

I thought id share this piece i made based on the complimentry colours theme! I painted the background on paper with gouche and then scanned it into a drawing software to add the deer (I use clip studio). I use this technique a lot for starting digital drawings because I can't sketch digitally to save my life ๐Ÿ˜ญ

September Monthly Submission

For my monthly submission I chose the theme of loneliness, and attempted to use procreate to encapsulate what that feeling is. It was also an experiment for me to try out the different tools in procreate (such as the different adjustment things, blending modes etc).

The dark atmosphere of the piece is really interesting and nicely executed! I think the texture-like background really adds to the grungy look and the meaning (it sort of looks like the person is lost in the darkness of their loneliness - like in a forest at night)
