Realism is hard for me, but the challenge is always fun. Week Two. Playing along with the Get Loose Challenge hosted by @kellyhoernig.artist and @sandikeene. Here are all of their challenge details: “We will paint the same reference photo 3 times per week working from loose to loosest in our own style using our favorite colors. Let’s see what happens! Use the hashtag #getlooseartchallenge and let’s create loose watercolor happiness!” #getlooseartchallenge #looselooserloosest #kellyvssandichallenge #loosewatercolorflorals #looseningupart #unfoldingstories #arttherapy #pocketjournal #unfolding #unfoldingjournal #watercolorjournal #raemissigman #artjournal #artjournaling #artjournalpages #artjournalpage #visualstorytelling #paintingloose #artistsoninstagram #paintstudy #paintstudio #instagramartists #makerofthings #artjournalingdaily #creativecommunity #colorcrushcreative #maker https://www.instagram.com/p/CeGeg7WLEVU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I think I mentioned every now and then that I have this unholy tendency for using rubbish to do art on. The "canvases" for this series of tree sketches is packing paper primed with wallpaint. I also used some better transparent gesso on it after sketching the drawings with coloured pencils, which improved the handling significantly, but as you can see, the paper has folds and warps and some crimping at the edges. Most of that is hidden now that I matted them from their about 17×25cm sizes to 30×40cm - and matting anything makes it look sooo much nicer! - but I really have to stop doing anything but the least important tryouts on this stuff. I used to see character in the paper upcycled this way, but I think using the good materials is better for everybody, most importantly, the work itself. That being said, a few weeks ago I felt a need for enormous trees, rendered a few in some AI and used those as a basis. The execution is all me and I think I have AI mostly out of my system by now.

My PRE-COVID Works on paper. I haven’t painted really since I relocated to Austin. I’ve expanded into ceramics. But suddenly I’ve got the urge to paint again. Im sure my work now, will be different, as I am different after/during this pandemic. And now living in Austin vs ATL just as my work was different when I lived in FL, & IN. #PRECOVID #PRECOVIDART #ART #abstractart #abstractpainting #adorahortonart #interiorstyling #abstraction #nonobjectiveart #artistsoninstagram #artistsontiktok #artistsinaustin #512 #512art #muralistsinaustin #austintx #texasartists #worksonpaper #paintstudies #adorahorton https://www.instagram.com/p/CdQ9VRROGiJ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A digital painting study of Pierre-Auguste Cot’s “Springtime”

This is what a penguin looks like when they're crying out for a slice of anchovy pizza!

Found an armored truck while grocery shopping so i did things

30 Day Art Challenge | Day 5

Feeling much better about this! I've learned to leave myself 20-30 minutes of my allotted 2 hours to go back to my piece the next day or with fresh eyes so I can see easy improvements.

I managed to improve her right eye but didn't have enough time for the left - so she's a little lobsided.

But, most girls are so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Popping in to play along with the Get Loose Challenge hosted by @kellyhoernig.artist and @sandikeene. I love to paint loose but even I struggle with letting go sometimes, especially if I am painting from a study subject. Sandi and Kelly on the other hand are both are known for watercolors that are rarely loose in nature. In fact, they both claim to struggle with loosening up and letting the color and water just do it’s thing. To help us all “get loose”they are encouraging each other (and the art community) to try Loose, Looser, Loosest each week for 4 weeks painting a nature scene. Here are all of their challenge details: “We will paint the same reference photo 3 times per week working from loose to loosest in our own style using our favorite colors. Let’s see what happens!

So excited to show you all some of the results from our first paint study! For those that don’t know, I host an art group on discord where I work with artists to improve our skills including weekly painting studies. For many of them this was their very first time doing digital painting and I am so proud of their work. Be sure to check out and support the other artists in the group and if you would like to join in on the fun, check out my Patreon Mentorship tier. It’s a great little community for artists of all skill levels where we share our work and give critique, discuss technique, work through problems, and help eachother become better artists. And it’s working! I can’t believe how fast they are improving. Patreon.com/noaheisenman or use the link in my bio!
