Textured abstract painting

This red and black painting highlights the texture used in it. Here are two views of the painting, to get an idea of how it looks in different lights. I might another layer of red, but here it is so far.

Wave painting, part 1

This is the start of a wave acrylic painting I just started with palette knives. After this I'm adding a thick clear, pouring medium layer, which will make it look like it is under water.

Drawing

Here is a new design I'm working on while watching movies. I finally have time for a nice relaxing night, i've been so busy with homework the past week I haven't had a full night to myself in awhile. This is done with pen and colored pencil, just i'm thinking of incorporating into a painting

This is my anatomical eyeball/body part painting, I just edited this one is photoshop as well. I really love all the options that are available to me in photoshop!



Here is another finished abstract acrylic painting I did and edited in photoshop. These are the options I came up with, I do enjoy their differences and am thinking of printing some of these too. Any preferences?

Here is another painting I altered hue-wise in photoshop. I am a fan of really intense visual stimulation, so bright colors are very enjoyable for me to look at. I was thinking of making prints of some of my work, and photoshop would be a great way to make different color pictures of my work. I love the many options that I can do to a finished painting. Just when I think I am running out of new things to do, a whole new art door opens. Stay tuned for more photoshop visuals.....




I have been experimenting a bit with photoshop for the first time in years. I took a painting I had already done in reds and changed the hues. Any preferences?

Abstract sky painting

This was a really fun painting to do. It started with multiple layers of watercolor paints. I then added a self-leveling gel layer, which was colored with alcohol inks. The inks mixed together together to make a dark purple color, which I then scraped bits of off to let the previous layers shine through. I then added a bit of polyester glitter, which stuck to the few spots of gel that were still sticky. This painting sold at an art show to a painter friend.

Polymer clay octopus

This pendant was made with polymer clay and found objects. It is an octopus, and in a slight steampunk style.

Polymer clay pendant

This pendant was done with polymer clay and found objects. Metallic powder was added for extra color. It is a steampunk turtle, and was sold as a christmas present.
