๐Ÿ”น MY ART - acrylic kingfisher with pearl - process

in art โ€ขย  7 years agoย  (edited)

Hello guys, I am really glad to share with you a painting I finished today. It is acrylic on canvas in a size 110x160cm. I used only cheap acrylic paint in 5 colors.

I worked on it 28 hours. The background is patined with brush and then sprayed, because I wanted smooth transition. The rest is painted with nylon brushes. I have to say it was really interesting work because of the combination of painting techniques. I had to make thin gentle strokes on the head and chest, then transitions on the wings and strong but curvy lines on the bubbles.

The process

That's incredible! It looks like a photograph! The details you did on the water bubbling around the bird is fantastic! So realistic. Great job!

Oh my! Thatโ€™s amazing! First I thought it was a photo, then I thought it was art glass. Painting wasnโ€™t in my mind. Well done! # #thealliance

Ok, this is really impressive. I love the large format and how the oxygen is floating around the bird.

Beautiful job. Fine work on the feathers, water texture, pearl.

Your skills and artistic vision is just unbelievable! I assume that there is going to be an exhibition soon? :)

thank you :) I wish it was true. the plan was to paint during summer holiday, but some personal issues appeared so I have something like a creativity crisis. but I hope it is going to bring me new ideas and change

If you hadn't mentioned it I would find it difficult to believe :) It seems like you are always creating and experimenting, yet I know that we all fall into periods where productivity or motivation falls below out usual expectations.

I think the best thing about someone who isn't an 'artist' is that we don't necessarily put these expectations on ourselves. Or maybe I just like doing the simple things and doing it well until I can figure out what the next thing to move onto is :p

Oh, and collaborations are always good to inject a little bit of creativity into my work :)
