Doodles

-

Doodling is known for many different things, but personally the best definition is to draw any kind of marks in any kind of way that just feels good and natural. It does not have to have a purpose or a meaning. It can be composed entirely of unrecognizable scribbles and lines.  It's almost like zoning out and daydreaming and it also works like fidgeting in a way. For me it always helped me focus more. I like doodling people, patterns, eyes, and repeated symbols form and reappear. 

In a way I feel like doodling is connected to opening up (maybe even closing up sometimes) the brain and somewhat letting loose. To just let your hand freely move and just have a pictorial creation come out.

"Doodles are like fragments of a map that show how someone’s mind works."

Then I decided to try another style. I used a photo I took as a reference and started digitally painting and although being very fun I missed the looser style of t...

Acrylic Paint (Colorful Traditional Art)

Colors are an element of art that I love to play with. They are the reflection of light. To me they are very essential in my paintings, especially if I use acrylic paint. I try to use colors to represent different senses and emotions. I try to guide the art viewer gently, but I also like to leave some space for a viewer’s own interpretation. I might have been feeling something specific towards a painting I made and someone else can see the exact same painting but feel something else completely. The whole point is to use different colors to convey different emotions. One of my favorite mediums to use in order to do this is acrylic paint. Acrylic paint is very versatile and its known for its fast drying time (which is very convenient for me because I am impatient).  You can use acrylic paint on pretty much any surface as long as it isn't too glossy or greasy. From paper to  canvas, wood, or, cloth, and even  concrete. However my favorite surfaces are canvas and wood. I neve...
