I'm very excited to have reached over a hundred followers on Steemit!
Most people will know me for my doodle videos, or quirky and colourful watercolour pieces. I enjoy making my Steeemit art pieces, Steemart! But I thought I would also give you a little insight into the other style of painting that I work in.
A few examples of the the type of paintings I do in oils.
I paint in layers, so a painting can take several weeks to complete.
Some combine mixed media, such as digital transfer prints, ironed plastics and stitch.
Obviously, as I am on the move at the moment and not in my studio I'm not currently painting in oils, but I hope to get back to them soon! I love the smell of oil paint :D

What can I tell you? The color associated with the five elements.

@ opheliafu great to see a fellow artist on here! I love the stitching effect on the painting, I would never have thought to do that before, but what a great texture. I just recently started painting with oils and I love them!!! their creamy consistency is just amazing, I really enjoy watercolours too, but oils have won over my heart! I would love if you would check out my posts about my art and provide your feedback, its always great to connect with other artists :)

You can't see it so well on that picture but I also do a loose stitch to add texture too- let the looped threads hang down on the canvas.
I'm now following your work, it's amazing! Bit of advice, (if that's ok?) make sure it's clear in the title that it's your work (latest post), at first i thought it was an artist you like... When I watched the video I realised it was you. I wouldn't want you to miss out on votes!

Amazing works, so airy and light. A very interesting technique. Thank you, its joy to my eyes.

Thank you @nekromarinist . I like to use a large flat brush and build up lots of layers of colour (drying in between layers) I think this is probably what makes it 'airy and light' !

Luckily for you I've tied some string to you feet, so you won't blow away too far, just float like a kite.

Of course! Art by sykochica equates to bad stick figures which makes it easier to appreciate the talent of others.

Ah, the art of paint. I think one day I will give it a try. My last venture was finger painting with my kids, and that was about 16 years ago. LOL But honestly, as much as I'd love to try it, I see the world through my camera lens and through words. Maybe I should stick with what I know?

No, always try something new. Why not have a go at doodling with paint, take your brush (or pen) for a walk and see where it goes.

That's a combination of oil paint, digital transfer print and stitch... oh and a bit of pen.
