Inspiration from the GREATS! - Henri Rousseau

Welcome to Inspiration from the GREATS!

This month we are being inspired by Henri Rousseau (May 21, 1844 – September 2, 1910) a French post-impressionist painter in the Naïve or Primitive manner. He was a toll collector.  He was self-taught and his work influenced several generations of avant garde artists.

I wasn't quite sure how I was going to do this piece.  I, finally, settled on Prismacolor pencils.  So, here we go..................





Supplies

11" X 15" Canson Watercolor paper
Watercolors
Prismacolor pencils
Graphite pencil for sketching

I would love to see your pieces inspired by Henri.  You can share them on our Inspiration from the GREATS Facebook Group.

Next month our great artist will be Frida Kahlo.

Also, please check out my CeeCeeART Patreon page.  I am doing step-by-step, real time, avideo lessons on projects that are, exclusively, for Patreon.

Happy Creative Heart Monday!

I know, I know.....it's Tuesday.  Things just ran away from me last week.  But, I did finish a quick project today.  Since, I'm completely out of new canvases, I grabbed an old canvas and used acrylic paints and Inktense pencils.  I bought these Inktense pencils awhile back because I always saw people using them and creating beautiful things.  I need to try them more often.

Inspiration from the Greats - Jackson Pollock

Inspiration from the GREATS!

Welcome to our first Inspiration from the Greats video.  This month we are being inspired by Jackson Pollock - originator of American Abstract Expressionism!

This video is, primarily in "real time".  I've tried my best to use his techniques.  Of course, I don't believe that he was using small bottles of craft paint.  He used large cans of paints!  He also created very large paintings (which I would like to do someday).

Since this is going to be a monthly thing (we'll focus on a different artist each month), I created a Facebook Group where we can share our painting inspired by the artist of the month.  I would love to see your paintings inspired by Jackson Pollock!!

Here we go...............

I hope that you enjoyed the video and would love to here your comments.  Join the Facebook Group!!

PEACE!

Creative Heart Monday - Acrylic Whimsical Face - "Woman"

Happy Creative Heart Monday!!

Today, I'm painting a whimsical face, but I'm using a new technique (new to me, at least).  I saw Christy Sobelewski use this technique in her, online, class - Painted Faces 2.  I can imagine so many uses for this.  It's very easy....just acrylic paint and dishwashing liquid.  But, you end up with a rainbow of colors.

I did have a little mishap while recording this video.  While applying the third layer to the hair, I knocked over the bottle and was unable to show the entire process on that layer.  However, it's exactly like the first two hair layers, so you're not missing anything pertinent.

Here we go............
