Hey Invaders! It's been a while since I haven't posted in this blog. I'm going to show you my recent painting and drawing.
I want to let you know that I only paint or draw when I feel inspired... Honestly, I don't know what or who makes me feel inspired to put into action my artsy side. There are times when I see myself staring into blank space, thoughts like
"I feel inspired! 💕 ".. " I want to draw! ✏️ " ... "I want to paint! 🎨 " instantly pop in my head out of nowhere. 💨
Before I show you
my our paintings I just
wanna tell you a little background story about how
I we came up with that painting. Last month, I made a new friend, both of us are willing to make our friendship stronger. We can't be with each other everyday cos of schedule conflicts, but we hang out once in a while. I mentioned to her that I paint, she asked me to show her my works, I did, and she liked them. She hinted that she wants me to teach her how to paint, but I told her that I'm not a pro and I am a self-taught artist
(wait.. am I an artist? lol), who never took a single drawing or painting course in my life. She still insisted that she wanted me to teach her. I brought my painting materials and went to her place, and I also saved some screenshot of paintings that I thought would be easy for a beginner.
On Pinterest, I can see lots of similar images/paintings of what we painted that's why I can't address who's the original artist. It was my first time to instruct someone how to paint, and even though it's a non-complex painting, I still had a hard time to explain what she should do.
Half-way of painting, she said that she just messed up the canvas, so she asked me to
fix her mistakes /
enhance her work. Though I did fifty percent of her painting, I still insist that it's her painting not mine and I want her to keep it as a token of our budding friendship ðŸ‘.
Here's what we came up with:
We used 9x12 inches stretched canvas that only cost around 100 Php each (not more than $2.50). Yes! it's very inexpensive, but the quality is pretty good. It's not imported, it's manufactured locally, and I think that's the reason why it's inexpensive. For the paint, we used primary colors (+black and white) of tempera paint. I just mixed some paints to come up to our desired colors. Overall, we're happy with our painting. Now, our paintings are hanging on our bedroom walls.
My next post will about my latest drawing :) See ya <3
