Last year I smelled their lovely scent everywhere in #Tirana, drowning the air pollution somewhat to the background: #Jasmine. Inspired, I planted some. Now I will have the scent in my own garden soon ... It is starting to bloom 🥰
I was planning on posting this today anyways, but now I find out it's #WorldBeeDay? I'm hoping that's a good sign 😅
I've been teaching myself how to use #Krita & dipping my toe into the world of #DigitalPainting.
Don't worry, I don't plan on ever stopping my usual pen & ink art, but there are some things I want to create that I need to stretch into other mediums for.
Anyways, I did a “learn krita while painting Bob Ross” tutorial which was super helpful, ...
then did another Bob Ross on my own, and now this:
this is only my second non-Bob painting, and I'm fairly pleased with how it came out!
I know I have A LOT of improvement still, the world of color is rather a bit of a conundrum for me as I'm so used to working in black and white. I know I have a few artist mutuals here, so please feel free to critique, also if you have any favorite tutorials, or books to learn from, that would be awesome too!
This is the first in a series of a tribute to #Pompeii Dried flowers against a backdrop of photos of paintings and mosaics that have been unearthed at the site. This first one is a black and white with a slight sepia tone. I'm working on others in color. Enjoy.
