J’ai décidé de me changer les idées avec le dessin et la peinture. J’apprends, entre autres, grâce aux minis tutos dessin de @lindenshieldarts J’adore ses créations.
On est d’accord que je suis très loin d’avoir son niveau mais je m’en moque, je me déconnecte et me concentre sur mes petits progrès. Aujourd’hui j’ai vu une photo qui me plaisait et j’ai tenté d’appliquer ce que j’ai appris. #gouache #pastel

Gouache, neocolors et crayon pour dessiner un champignon « lumineux » (j’ai un peu raté) avec de la verdure claire qui l’entoure puis des couleurs plus foncées. Quelques points lumineux au-dessus du champignon pour ajouter un air féerique (raté aussi)

Retro Rainbows 3: Memphis Party

I got very excited with the colours/lighting in this one! I love the geometric designs of the late 80s/early 90s - particularly those of the "arcade carpet" variety!

Now I'm hitting my stride with these, I'll probably go back and adjust the first two once the series is done, to unify them more stylistically. :) But for now, I'll see where the rest take me!

Digital painting of a gender non-confirming person with tan skin, black hair, gold eyes, and a colourful geometric tattoo. They're wearing a dark tank top, and an iridescent gold geometric earring. Their hair is in an early-mid 90s "John Connor" style. The background is a yellow-white-purple pastel gradient, with white grid lines overtop.

Sleeping tabby cat - handmade soft pastels painting
--> https://karen-kaspar.pixels.com/featured/sleeping-tabby-cat-karen-kaspar.html

Sleeping tabby cat is a pastel painting in landscape format hand-painted by the artist Karen Kaspar.
A cat with white fur and brown tabby spots is sleeping peacefully. Its head lies relaxed on the floor. The background is abstracted in soft blue and earthy tones. The softly smudged pastel chalk enhances the calm atmosphere and emphasises the cat's relaxed expression.

This is a square format colour image of the glass side of a large, modern building. The panes of glass create a complex grid of horizontal and vertical lines. In the glass is reflected a sunset in pastel colours. Taken in Salford with a Sony RX100.

Dont "Moss" with colors:
If you concentrate on the simple things, you get something like this. A small cushion of moss in a flower pot photographed in the right light and then the white balance adjusted just a little. And I emphasize: a little bit. The colors come from the background and together they make a very nice combination, I think.

Wenn man sich auf die simplen Sachen konzentriert, kommt so etwas heraus. Ein kleines Moospolster in einem Blumentopf im richtigen Licht fotografiert und anschliessend den Weissabgleich ein kleines Bisschen angepasst. Und ich betone: ein kleines Bisschen. Die Farben stammen vom Hintergrund und zusammen ergibt das ganze eine sehr schöne Kombination, wie ich finde.

Man sieht ein Moospolster in einem Blumentopf im Abendlicht fotografiert. Durch die Wahl einer grossen Blende entsteht eine künstlerische Unschärfe; Vorder- und Hintergrund scheinen ineinander zu fliessen. Das Licht im Hintergrund ist farbig: blau, rosa, weiss und das Moos im Vordergrund gelblich, orange, grün. So entsteht ein schöner Farbkontrast.

You can see a cushion of moss in a flower pot photographed in the evening light. The choice of a large aperture creates an artistic blur; the foreground and background seem to flow into each other. The light in the background is colored: blue, pink, white and the moss in the foreground is yellowish, orange, green. This creates a beautiful color contrast.

Just loved the light and the colour palette in this shot, just had a great pleasing mood to it. Took it on the dunes at Seven Mile Beach on a summer sunrise.
#photography #sunrise #beach #landscape #scape #fujifilm #pastel

The first light of day paints the sky in soft hues of pink and gold, creating a tranquil scene over Seven Mile Beach. Gentle waves roll towards the shore, framed by the native vegetation of the dunes in the foreground. A peaceful start to a spring morning 🌅.

#Pastel #Lemon #Gerbera by Kaye Menner #Photography Wide variety #Prints & lovely #Products at:

https://kaye-menner.pixels.com/featured/pastel-lemon-gerbera-by-kaye-menner-kaye-menner.html

Gerbera is a genus of plants in the Asteraceae (daisy family). It was named in honour of German botanist and medical doctor Traugott Gerber| (1710-1743) who travelled extensively in Russia and was a friend of Carl Linnaeus.

Gerbera is native to tropical regions of South America, Africa and Asia. The first scientific description of a Gerbera was made by J.D. Hooker in Curtis's Botanical Magazine in 1889 when he described Gerbera jamesonii, a South African species also known as Transvaal daisy or Barberton Daisy. Gerbera is also commonly known as the African Daisy.

Gerbera species bear a large capitulum with striking, two-lipped ray florets in yellow, orange, white, pink or red colours. The capitulum, which has the appearance of a single flower, is actually composed of hundreds of individual flowers. The morphology of the flowers varies depending on their position in the capitulum. The flower heads can be as small as 7 cm (Gerbera mini 'Harley') in diameter or up to 12 cm (Gerbera �Golden Serena�). Photograph by Kaye Menner.

Retro Rainbows 2: Y2K Anime

As with the first piece, I was inspired by anime of the late 90s/early 00s, but also by the fashion of the time! Bandanas and jelly bracelets (and jelly sandals!) were all the rage at the turn of the Millennium :D
