"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.

Woman Leaning on a Purple Wall - Watercolor

Hi there!

This time I want to share with you a watercolor painting that I've created recently. I really like this one, especially the lights and shadows on the wall and on the woman. The whole light and shadow game was stored in the back of my mind for a while. I think that some artwork of Edward Hopper influenced me, especially "Nighthawks" the use of light there is magnificent.

Check out my painting, tell me what you think!

You can purchase a high quality print of this piece on my online shop

Have a great day, see you next time! 

Innocent Looking Girl - Sketch

Hi there,

I've always thought that 'the simpler - the better'. You don't have to try too hard, just be yourself, try to keep things simple, and you'll see that everything is easier, beautiful, approachable and natural. I wanted to apply this thought on the following sketch. The subject is a young woman, sketched from behind. The lines are simple and clear, the atmosphere is innocent yet sensual, and it is just a simple classic beauty. I don't want to talk too much. So, just enjoy it:

Fluorescent Girl - Digital Paint

Hi there!

Yet another Digital Paint :) This time, a woman's portrait. I wanted to create a sensual and mysterious atmosphere, and to use some fluorescent colors.

This painting started as a simple rough sketch, but those outlines helped me painting the whole portrait.

Take a look at the sketch

Pretty simple huh? I'm not trying to capture all the details, just the general image. Later on, the painting will come to life and I would be able to change or tweak some misplaced lines.

During the painting process, I'm checking some color schemes and backgrounds (it's easy with digital painting :)).

The expression and atmosphere change while I'm painting until I am fully satisfied with the portrait.

I really like the end result :)

Have a beautiful day :) See you next time!

It's too Late Baby

Hi there,

It's been a long time since I posted here. I've been busy with my site DigitalDogPortraits.com, but I wanted to post at least one post here in march. So... I made a special sketch for you, it's an artistic nudity, very tasteful and feminine. I hope you'd like it.

When I was looking for a phrase that will go with the sketch, I was listening to Carole King's wonderful song "It's too late", and thought that this phrase will be perfect - "Though we really tried to make it. Something inside has died and I really can't fake it." I really think that this phrase gave a new deep meaning to the sketch.

I won't say goodbye before I'll post here this wonderful song by Carole King. Enjoy!

A Sensual Sketch for a Change

That's it! I'm done with the melancholic sketches!

Yesterday I've sketched my first sensual sketch. I don't know if it's perfect, but for the first time it's pretty good. I always thought that the woman's body is a beautiful art itself, so... it was pretty easy to sketch such a magnificent subject.

I had to find a suitable phrase for this sketch, and I decided to quote some lines from Prince's song "Damn You"

"When we're makin' love, I can't hold back / It's like having a hundred million little heart attacks."

I'll keep it short this time too... and let the art talk for itself...

Have a great day!
