Pilgrimage

If you're thinking this was easy to paint - WRONG. It took days, more than a week to finish this.. with my level of motivation that is. To get these solid colors I must paint them over and over and over and over.......

Differs a lot from the original idea. The intended starry clouds became cotton candy with sugar sprinkles. [Don't know if I should laugh or cry ] And the scanner distorted the color much, even though I've adjusted everything using Photoshop this is as close as I can get to the original work.

Acrylic on paper.

Btw if anyone is willing to think a little further, there's a potentially deeper meaning behind this childlike painting. I CHALLENGE you to write a short Semiotics analysis on this, ARRR! Although there might be too much color distortion to interpret more clearly. But there's no prize so if you're interested do it just for fun, okay.

Btw the deviantArt prints version wont include the watermark, just check it out!

Update:
The brighter, unadjusted version fresh from the scanner is here:

Cat On the Beach

Relaxing cat is relaxing.

Giving the supposed 'wall' (slytherclawpadawan.deviantart.…) a more interesting context.

Watercolor on Canson multimedia paper 200 gsm.
An experiment with salt & alcohol drips - meh, not much effect showing up. Maybe my salt & alcohol weren't strong enough? :/

Cats, cats on the wall..

Daaaamn..!! I've got this seemingly cool vision for a painting but when it's put on papers, bleh! Must wrap them up just as 'studies'.. for now.


1
watercolor, oil pastels, gouache (cats' details) on Canson multimedia paper 200 gsm

2
gouache on Canson watercolor paper 200 gsm

3
oil pastels, acrylic on drawing paper 100-150 gsm

4
oil pastels, acrylic (cats' details) on drawing paper 100-150 gsm

Which do you think is the best technique?
