Great step by steps Kinny! :D :D :D :D
Thank you Hewey...Perhaps you've noticed the PNG influence these past few years..
That PNG Folktales Book you kindly sent a few years back
really sparked something..
Thanks Mang! and thanks for organizing so many great swaps!

Kinny, you're an art MONSTER!!! So much more info than my little brain can process.
you can lightly erase away all those pencil marks
DO IT NOW
cause once the blending starts
your pencil marks will be trapped under a light glazing of ink...
We ceramicists* know that pencil marks are no problem, they'll burn out at 1800 degrees :D
*2 years ago I couldn't even spell ceramicists and now I am one (but I'm still not sure I spelled it right :lol: )
Ceramics involve a kiln...
With painting and drawing you gotta erase the pencil marks
or if it's a water-soluble pencil,you can wash it off with water...
Totally stoked you know how to spell ceramicist..
it'll come in handy
especially since you is one!
Thanks for the visit!

Hi Kinny
Just ordered some stuff to have a go, keep the tutorials coming
Kinny
You mention "Ink" in your tutorials is this watercolour or real ink, forgive my humble Devonian ignorance.
Hey Flynny!
Right On!
Part of an artist's responsibility to Society is to inform and inspire...
to take them elsewhere
into a world of mystery and spirit..
But do not forget....
An artist's responsibility to Art is to practice our craft every day
Derive Joy from it whenever possible
Inspire fellow artists
and to examine,study,and expand upon
(and hopefully improve)
earlier Artistic style and theory...
and yes...that is INK
if it's watercolor, i will say so...
Winsor Newton and Dr. Martin(Martens) INKS not the shoe guy!
Dr. Martins also sells watercolours in a jar with a dropper
but i prefer the ink...
can't wait to see what you do with this technique...

Great stuff as usual.
I've done a bit of watercolor in the past so without pics I just thought I'd throw in some ideas for textures for anyone who wants to try.
Alot of things can have cool effects on watercolors, just gotta play around and see what they do, experiment some.
tissue- wad up some (snot) tissue papers and splat the wet paint in the sky for clouds (it'll suck some of the water paint off the paper). tight wads will big bigger thick clouds, loose wads will be thinner wispy clouds.
Salt- big grainy salt, sprinkled onto wet paint will make cool star bursts. Let paint dry then brush off the salt. Stars, glitter on shiny things like metal.
knife/paint brush end - once paint is dried you can scrape white lines in (you scrape paint off the paper). Good for highlights.
toothbrush - wet paint on tooth brush, then aim brush at painting and 'stroke' it with your thumb. It'll make cool splatters. Maybe good for gravel...
that's all I can think of for now.
Hey Badd!
Thanks for adding those helpful additions!
SEA SALT works the best for the salt technique...
A paper towel will last longer than a tissue
especially if there's lots of ink on the surface...
and don't forget the "spray the ink thru a straw" one as well...
And for the knifepoint technique of scraping
ya GOTTA use a heavy paper
and a paperclip,exacto blade,and needle also makes great textures when scraping off ink..
The only problem i have is if you go back over the work
it changes the texture and picks up a lot more of the color in the scraped areas...
which can be used to wonderful advantage...

Completely mind-boggling - as a non-drawer I can't even FATHOM this! I LOVE the tutorials because they give me an insight to "building" the paintings but I don't have the ability myself. I would love to see more attempts from others who CAN draw - like MadDogMike's attempt (which was pretty darn good in MY opinion!) However, give me a picture and I'll convert it into a beaded tapestry! Thanks for sharing!
Why thank you regan!
It's always interesting to see how anything is made...
Like a Delacroix...just stare at one
and try to fathom
what was added last...
why that stroke over there?
Was it all planned?
was it all instinct?
Ah! to get a step-by-step of a Delacroix..
sigh....

great stuff, kinny! now i know exactly how to create my own masterpieces. I'll never buy another ruzic again! hahahahaha! oh wait, i can't draw a straight line and i definitely don't have your creative genius/madness! i guess that won't work. thanks for letting us get on your bus, ken "kesey" ruzic.
the bus came by and i got on, that's when it all began,
there was clownboy kinny at the wheel of the bus to never ever land.
KTD!
Great to see you around here lately...
As for not being able to draw a straight line
Never hurts to try..
the only reason you can't
is because your brain sez you can't
free your mind and yo ass will follow...
Your genius and eye are honed in
as shown by your collection
it's just talking to your hand
and figuring out a way to let it talk to your eye
and especially your brain
because that's where "sight" happens
the eyes just pick up a frequency
and the brain translates it
and the heart..
don't forget the heart
that's what adds the ZING to a piece....
and also...also
creative genius/madness is not necessary ...
it's just a schtick that fascinates people...
:wink:

you know, those are pretty cool. i'm always amazed at what artists find to utilize for the creative process. it seems there's nothing out of bounds. i've used some pretty strange stuff, too. i wonder if there's some type of forum or online community like "weird art tools and techniques central"?
See below perry!
and thanks for visiting!
the funnest part of being an artist
is to become a child and just take a leap
into the vastness
to take a risk
"fortune favors those who dare"

LLT - there is one step that you forgot...and that is the MAD TALENT that you have. I don't know anyone who can turn out amazing, detailed art like you do in the amount of time that you do it in!
These step by steps are excellent! They're great at introducing a know nothing about 2d art (like myself) to the tools and how to use them.
You rock.
It's soooo funny how you 3-D guys are soooo amazed at 2-D techniques!
We 2-Ders feel the same way about you 3-Ders!
It's just such a wonderful thing to be able to mash around with you
and all the other talented kooks on here!
What a blessing!
Well, in order to spare those who JUST want to see the Step-by-steps...I will put that on a separate post.......
Thank you all for visiting and participating and enlightening me
hopefully we can bottle all this creative energy someday
and distribute some to everyone!
:)
