RATOPIA - PAINTING


Titled 'Ratopia'. Acrylic on canvas, I took a rather long time on this due to the backgrounds being a drag. The canvas is slightly larger from my other paintings; I quite like the extra space and will work more in this.   


The sides are painted too as always!



This is the work in progress. The painting is available for sale in my Etsy shop: http://www.etsy.com/listing/76624469/ratopia-original-acrylic-canvas-painting

I will be flying to California end of this week so this will be my last painting post for now!

RIBBON - PAINTING



My latest completed art, entitled 'Ribbon', acrylic on canvas. I've been wanting to do monochromes for such a long time and finally here's one. Hope you like it! The background were originally 1960s style sunburst motifs but due to clutter they were transformed into polka dots. I think it looks much better this way. Available for sale at:

ONION - PAINTING



Entitled 'Onion', acrylic on canvas.
This was made because I wanted to try out multiple floral motifs. 
Available in my Etsy shop: 



The design extends over the edges on all 3 sides. 



The work-in-progress pencil sketch, as you can see I made a total colour change to the initial colourways!

FLORAL POP II - PAINTING


Another new painting 'Floral Pop II'. Acrylic on canvas. I made so many colour changes on this and thus it took longer to finish.

First colour change.

By this time it was the 5th colour change I think.

Final piece closeup with varnish on. I changed my Daler-Rowney Artist's Clear Picture varnish to Daler-Rowney Soluble Varnish Gloss for acrylic. Also purchased the Matte version because I've always felt gloss had too much glare, so will try that out someday by mixing the both!
