Abstract!

Ever seen paintings that have a large amount of paint splatters or various shapes?

Well, those were probably abstract paintings.

You can create an abstract in many ways:

1. Dripping paint on a canvas in various ways
2. Painting various shapes in various colors.
3. Or simply let your imagination go wild on the page

Photography tutorial 1

Hey there, this is one of my first posts about the art of photography. I personally have an interest in photography and i decided to do a tutorial on photography because we sometimes need pics to paint or draw from and post online.

There are some things to take into consideration when taking pics to draw from or just for fun.

1. Photo quality
2. Lighting
3. Camera quality

Photo quality is easily explained. If you take a bad picture, it's may not be good to paint to from or to post online. This can range in how blurry it is to little or too much lighting.

 Lighting: that's glaring or a pic that is too dark is usually just as bad as a blurry one.

And camera quality can cause all of the previously mentioned issues.


That's all I have for now.

More to come.

Drawing Inspiration

Ever looked up at the sky and saw saw a cloud that looked like a bunny?

Well, looking at the clouds and finding shapes is a fun way to pass the time sometimes, but it is also a great way to get art inspiration as well as get over artist's block.

You can sit outside and draw out the shape you saw in the sky. You can even adapt your artwork as the clouds change.

You can even just paint the sky as you see it: cloud bunnies and etc.
