"Falling Apart" - Digital Paint

Hi there,

I love to paint with watercolor, it is such a lively and dynamic medium. Sometimes the color blends in unexpected way, sometimes we can decorate the painting with some colorful dripping, and the final result is always impressive and surprising.

I wanted to do the same, but with a digital painting. I wanted to recreate the dripping and the blending effect, I thought it would look great. Using the traditional medium, it is more fun, because you can only control some of the process, however I recreated that feeling, though it was carefully planned, and I had a 100% control of the end result.

I wanted to paint something unsual, and intense. I started with a loose sketch, and it kind of built itself.

The dripping color and the blend are there to make a point (and to make the painting stand out).
 

If I may, I think it turned out to be very nice ;) I think that it will be a gorgeous  addition to the living room, or the office.

Pop Art - Those Red Hot Lips

It was another boring night at the local pub. we drank a lot, had nothing to say, and we had absolutely no desire to listen.

"HEY!", she said with a surprising energy, "You told me that you bought a new camera, let's give it a test drive!"
"Now?" , I asked, "It's almost 3 am"
-"Yes! now, you always wanted to make a photo session with me, or at least you said so..."
-"Oh, ok, but let's do it outdoors, there is a nice playground I know, nobody passes there at this hour"
-"YAY ! let's go!"

10 min. after, we found ourselves in an empty playground, taking pictures and laughing like two idiots. She loved the spotlights, to be the center of attention. She posed and posed and posed, quicker than my camera. I couldn't handle the poor light, and her fuzziness, but kept going anyway. I was thinking, I am going away in a few days, and those photos will probably be my only chance to remember her, so I have to do my best.

In between she asked me to focus on her lips - "I think that they are the most beautiful part of my body", she said. I couldn't disagree - though I thought to myself... there are more parts that could draw attention...

When I got home I found that most of my photos were far too dark, I tried to save them. Lucky me, her natural beauty popped right away even in the worst conditions.

This one was my favorite - a little bit off focus, just enough to create the little circles of light (bokeh) on the nails, lipstick and lips.

3 years after, those lips have inspired me to do a pop art piece, more colorful and vivid.

I'll always remember that night, especially because it felt more powerful and significant than it really was...
