Art in progress 🌈

2/20 Edited to

... Read moreAs an artist working on ACEOs (Art Cards Editions and Originals), the layering process is a crucial step in achieving depth and vibrancy in these small-scale works. When I start with a base layer of gouache, I focus on establishing the main shapes and colors to set the foundation. Gouache is ideal for ACEOs due to its opacity and fast drying time, which allow me to build up multiple layers without waiting long. Once the initial layer is dry, adding details becomes my favorite part. Detailing can include refining shapes, introducing gradients, and incorporating textures to make the painting more dynamic. For example, when painting a piece inspired by the theme of a lava lamp, I experiment with blending techniques to mimic the flowing wax effect. Working on ACEOs is not only about precision but also about expressing creativity in a small format. Each piece is about 2.5 by 3.5 inches, making it a unique challenge to balance detail with the limited space. I also enjoy sharing my progress with fellow art lovers using hashtags like #aceo, #gouache, and #painting to connect and gather feedback. If you’re thinking of trying ACEO art, my tip is to start with simple shapes and gradually add layers and details. Use high-quality gouache paints and fine brushes for the best results. Don’t be afraid to experiment with color blending and layering as it helps your art come alive. ACEOs are a fun and rewarding way to practice painting skills and share your art in a collectible format.

Coloring in progress!!! 🖍️🖍️💙💛💜
I have so many marker sets stored up and today I realized how much I miss using my Shuttle Art markers! I think this set has around three-hundredish colors which I love…but most of all I love how easy-going they are 😌 For this sketch, I’ll be pairing them with my Shuttle Art gel-pens once I have al

A little peak of my doll house progress so far!
I’ve been having so much fun with the furniture that I am really lacking on the actual house being finished so, that’s going to be some of my focus going forward. I’ll show the roof shingles off in my next post- it was tedious but came out great #dollhouserenovation #dollhouseinterior #dol
