Ha Ha All! I got to see them in person and, although these are great pics, they just don't do justice to these paintings. They are fantastic and I intend to get me some! |

nope Im not using any special secret coffee tequnique to"antique" the paintings. I think what makes them look old is the painting style, (old school watercolor technique) combined with only using a 1" or 1/2" wash brush. I did just find a brand new #1o filbert so that seems like it might be my new favorite brush. I use alot of daniel Smith quinocrodone gold to brighten areas its one of my favorites https://tikicentral.com/uploads/3734/44e0b79e.jpg [ Edited by: Sophista-tiki 2009-01-08 11:39 ] |

You forgot to mention your muddy-cat-paw technique. Brilliant! I can attest to the fact that Ms Sophista-tiki's pieces have much more depth and wonderfulness in person. So if you like a painting you see online you'll love it in person. Buy buy buy! [ Edited by: woofmutt 2009-01-08 09:27 because for some reason he wrote "So if you like one a painting you see..." He thinks it was his native Hillbillese creeping in.] [ Edited by: woofmutt 2009-01-08 09:27 ] |

here's whats going on in the studio now. I'm working out some renderings for my museum project. part of what I would like to do is make a GIANT map Covarrubias style of the US showing all of the Prominent "tiki temples" So in doing so I will first do architectural rendering style paintings of all the buildings. Then eventually elements will find there way onto the map somewhere.

SOOoo COOool Dawn. Yep, I saw you Shoutin' about your new paper :) Someday, when I get bored with clay, I'll have to take a watercolor class. If my best work could be as good as your "goofing around sketches" I'd be as happy as pig in mud! I find your work and Ken's very inspiring. |

Beautiful work, Dawn! I love your pallet choices, such great warm colors all work well to set a tropical mood. And the subdued lighting tied in with great sunsets reminds me of lazy summer twilights with a warm breeze blowing. Very nice ink work also... everything comes together perfect. The tikis and the architecture go hand in hand. |
