Digital Art: Fluid Art + Pointillism

I used two techniques for this artwork. The flower is a digital watercolour pour (fluid art). The background utilizes the pointillism technique.

As you might know, I’ve been experimenting with fluid art lately. Tutorials on YouTube showed me how to do it digitally with acrylics, but I (being me) decided to put my own spin on it and use watercolour instead.

I’ve been wanting to try pointillism (think hundreds of tiny dots coming together to form a picture) but I couldn’t find an appropriate brush in Procreate to recreate this method digitally. I think I may have stumbled upon one in the new brush set. And, me being me, I’ve already forgotten its name.

Tiny Story: Silence

Her radioactive silence. My decaying peace. Iceshine. An alien glow in the sunset. Trees, falling. No one hears.

Digital Art: Dance the Night Away

Do you sometimes just want to forget the worries the big bad world brings you and just dance the night away? That’s the feeling that came out as I created this watercolour pour painting.

Poetry: Happiness

Happiness
is a place
a song
a person
a memory
and eternity
spiralling
into place

Photography: Artsy ICM

I originally rejected this ICM shot for not being interesting enough. A month or so later, I stumbled upon it in my archives and had second thoughts. Funny how your perspective can change with time.

These are peach-coloured roses with black muslin cloth in the background. By using a slow shutter speed and moving the camera around (a technique called intentional camera movement) this artsy version of reality was produced.

Poetry: Ghostfall

black and white
where there was colour
salt
where there was glitter
and you
where there was me
singing sepia dreams
my ghostfall

Photography: The Red Hibiscus Again

Well, I couldn’t get enough of this red hibiscus flower. The colour photographed so well. I look forward to seeing them in bloom again this summer. We’re in late spring now, and a couple of chrysanthemums and a dahlia bud have begun to show. Other than that, it’s still a world of weeds out there.

Photography: Dark, Brooding Waterdrops

I love the deep red colour of this hibiscus blossom. I took this shot last summer. The tree should be in bloom again soon.

Haiku: Morning Dew

morning dew
a single tear
on the pumpkin’s cheek
