Still a #wip. I’m using this opportunity to film a #speedpaint from start to finish. Round 3 of film was done in slow-mo by accident. 😖 So I’ve been attempting to turn chicken-sh*t into chicken salad. My iPhone lacks the space and my iMac is a little underpowered. So I’m attempting a divide and concur strategy which is taking lots of time. 😕 But this is where I’m currently at. #wipart #wipartwork #watercolor #wstercolorart #watercolorpainting #watercolour #watercolors #watercolourpainting #watercoloring #watercolorart #watercolouring #watercolorillustration #watercolor_painting #illustration #illustrations #illustrationart #babyhopper #hilbigart (at San Antonio, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqWlY3_Jd7j/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This honestly has been a sh&t week, with anything and everything going wrong. Plus insomnia has been kicking my butt lately. 😣 So here’s today’s art therapy session. Enjoy!😺 #babyhopper #pencildrawing #pencilart #pencilsketch #pencil #pencil_drawing #pencilsketches #sketchbook #sketching #sketchingart #beachvibes #beachfun #cartoonart #arttherapy (at Somewhere In Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqOFx_nJujA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Last round of #crackle experimentation. These samples used exclusively #kromacrackle paste. It takes up to 3 days for most applications to dry. That’s likely the reason for that odd spot on that purple-on-red sample from yesterday. Photo no 4 is an update of that same sample. #cracklepaste #cracklepaste #crackleglaze #cracklepaint #crackleeffect #crackleart #crackletechnique #kroma #acrylic #acrylicpaint (at San Antonio, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpx_SHJvpbt/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#cracklingpaste experiments from last night. I used 1:5 mix of #acrylicpaint and #cracklingmedium. The first two used Turner #U-35 #Crackling Primer from Japan. Photo no 2 technically used two wet layers because I realized that the original blue used a transparent pigment. No 3 was interesting because I opted to use my tube of Kroma Crackle. The paint that I used was a Hue made by Liquitex. When dry it created an effect like I stained the center. Is this reproducible?

More #crackle experimentation. This round is a series of thin coats of #acrylicpaint on top of crackled surfaces. I tried not to get paint in between the cracks. The last photo is #cracklepaint with a dab of blue paint mixed in onto of a cracked surface. #crackling #crackingart #cracking #cracklepaste #crackleglaze #glazing #glazingtechnique #acrylicpaints (at Wherever) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpvRGhhOw1N/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I decided to finally figure out how the heck to use crackle medium. I watched a few YouTube videos. All that I’m certain of is that I can’t use a blow drier. 😕 Beyond that it’s still not working in a predictable manner. 😖 Oh well. #acrylicpainting #acrylics #acrylicpaint #acrylicmedium #cracklepaint #crackleglaze #cracklemedium #crackletechnique #cracklepaint (at Somewhere In Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CprDSh3O9Of/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

New toys from #Japan just came!😁 All I need now is some free time to play with them. 😢 #acrylicgouache #aqylagouache #kusakabe https://www.instagram.com/p/CoGSGOQpDcw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Curious George was found dead inside my closet. It is unknown when he was squashed. Jimmy Hoffa might be buried underneath him. My deepest condolences to the George family. https://www.instagram.com/p/CmXJoVIPflr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This honestly has nothing to do with nothing but my pro wrestling fandom. I actually found this at a Walmart out of all places. But it features some of my favorite #joshi wrestlers. Now I actually have the time to dig into it. 😹 sort of. #SLK #stardomwrestling #syuri #sayakamitani #prowrestling #pwi https://www.instagram.com/p/CmIEwEApnre/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A close up of the print on QOR watercolor ground. Shockingly sharp lines. 🤭 #watercolor #watercolorground #canoninkjet #canoninkjetprinter #testprint #printing #artprint https://www.instagram.com/p/CmAxD0APEiO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This is something different I just tried. Took a sheet of used canvas paper, and I gessoed it with normal gesso and QOR water color ground. Then I ran out through my #canon printer, using a matte paper setting. I wanted to see if there was going to be an interest effect due to the watercolor ground. It behaved like a normal sheet of canvas paper. Not any soft edges that didn’t already exist in the image. 🤔 oh well #watercolorground #testprint #qor #qorwatercolorground #canvaspaper #inkjetprint #inkjetprinter #inkjet #hilbigart #jokerart (at In Studio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmAwVi_vfnU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

For a 5x7 inch #print of “Weeble Gothic” I had to extend the top and bottom of the painting in #Photoshop. I also had to move the signature over a bit. What do you think? I’ll let you guys know when this finally gets posted to @2ndhalfstudios #etsyshop. #weebles #weeblepeople #americangothic #prints #photoshopedit #photoshopmanipulation #reproductionprints #paintings (at In Studio) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClmU0-0vkYI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
