Masked…

Just finished this Acrylic on Paper …. I am so loving painting fun portraits so have combined my new-found love of portraits and my old love of Butterflies …

 Butterflies from Top to Bottom are as follows… Small Thyridia, Blue Admiral, Monarch, Blue Pansy, Eurasian Comma and the last one a Brown-Veined White butterfly :)

Check out my new Weekly – Art tip of the Week! Tip 1.

Donna’s Art Tip of the Week – Titanium Vs Zinc White ?

My Art Tip of the Week - Sunday 8th January 2012

Tip 1. Titanium Vs Zinc White ?

Make sure when mixing White to a colour you use the right one for what you are wanting!

Titanium White is more opaque and when added to a colour changes that colour giving it more of a Pastel Tone.

Zinc White is more Translucent and when added to a colour just slightly tones down that original colour rather than changing the overall tone of it.

Art and Music …. !

After being introduced to this theory of how the condition of Water changes its form when it is exposed to various types of environments, moods and emotions  music and energy…  check out some of the amazing photos taken … http://www.our-drinking-water.com/water-crystals-hiroshima.html

So I thought I would create this artwork as a present for a good friend of mine who is an energy healer !

I thought that I would see what would happen if I put on some lovely peaceful Meditation music  added some  mediums and colour to a canvas and let it flow!

This is what I got ….

Flow - An artwork created and shaped by music

Flow could also go this way....

Sorry this Artwork is Not For Sale

If you would like your own Artwork created to music, a wide choice of colours.

Please note that these artworks are totally spontanious, original, unique and cannot be duplicated!
