Hi there you beautiful people ! How have you been ? You probably noticed the blog has a new look ! It's still under construction, so bear with me if it still looks too simple, My sister is helping me, in fact, she was the one who created the new header and the navbar, so thank you Ofélia !
My next post here was supposed to be about my materials, I'd basically show you all of mine and talk a bit about them, and tell you which one I'm more familiar with, and which ones I use the most, etc etc. I was taking pictures of everything but when I saw the gouaches and the watercolors I felt compelled to use them. Specially because I'm not that confortable with both of them and I really want to expand my horizons, I don't want to be the kind of artist that is stuck in only one material to work. Not saying that it's bad, because it isn't, I just want to be the "flexible" kind of artist that can work with anything that is given to him.
I had no idea what to do, so I just painted the background in black. After it dried, I was thinking on doing something with a white pencil, but then I decided to continue using gouache. As I'm into Buddhism and agree with many of its principles, I decided to go with a little tribute to prince Siddhartha, or Buddha. It pictures the time when prince Siddhartha sat under the bodhi tree and after much time of deep meditation (about 49 days), he is believed to have reached enlightment (Nirvana), becoming then the Buddha (which means Awakened one). I wanted to show my respect somehow and this was the way I found to do it.
Now, enough with the talking, here it is, hope you like it ! And opinions are always welcome ! :)
