Restart.

I was about to delete this account but changed my mind last minute. Figured I'll do some crazy changes so that I'll fall in love with it again & it worked! http://www.seeveearts.blogspot.com/ looks awesome in desktop mode AND in mobile mode. Its just too bad though that the template I fell in love with leaves out some information in desktop mode but otherwise, I'm happy!

Folks, I will be more active:

Cosmetic Bottles & Kettle Paintings

Below is an unfinished painting of 11 bottles. Prof said that the reflection of the bottles make it seem like I placed a glass panel underneath them which wasn't the case. The dresser was made out of fake wood that had a thin layer of shiny lacquer on top. Its funny how it looks like glass though when the perfume bottles on each side are made of glass but doesn't look so.


 This kettle painting was completed in almost 4 hours. I would like it to look more like a photograph but Prof said that the way it looks, makes it obvious its an oil painting.


He said my kettle doesn't look like a Giorgio Mirandi painting like this (minimilistic).....


& doesn't look like William Bailey's (exact) ...........


Sort of close to Olga Antonova's (I wish!) ..........

& has the heavy strokes of a Van Gogh's (which is pretty cool !!! =D ) ......

My Better Paintings: Leg study & sneakers

Isn't it strange how I do some of my best paintings within a short span of time? Oh yeah, also when I'm uncomfotable?




I'd like to point out that the shoes are deformed because of my bunions :( Hate 'em. Anyway, I love this sneakers painting & I'm thinking its because of the kind of canvas paper. This paper is so coarse, your hands hurt with every stroke. I need to find me more of this...

Native American Bust

It's been awhile...sorry for all you people who actually look through my site. My laptop has been down & I've been working a lot trying to raise enough money for school but I still try to draw/ sketch/ paint whenever I can. I noticed if I take a little break from painting, my painting suffers. You should have seen me Dec '10, I was on a roll. I was painting EVERY DAY to have an impressive collection of work to show my professor & i think you can see I was beginning to get comfortable through my works. Unfortunately once the holidays started, I havent had enough time to practice but I'm starting to get back on the grind. (Its the last day on Jan *sigh*).

Below are 2 paintings of the same Native American bust.



To be honest, I don't like these. They're too elementary. I want my paintings to look like Vincent Fantauzzo's (Twitter @vfantauzzo) or any artist who can make their work seem realistic. But then again, I work with real life (with the subject right in front of me) & Fantauzzo works from photographs. Maybe I should start working with photographs? But say I do, I feel like there will be an essence missing....
