An Illusion

in ᴀʀᴛ & ᴀʀᴛɪꜱᴛꜱ7 hours ago

Since my floor is still occupied I moved to the kitchen (not really I did the watercolour painting here during the past days). After a talk with @bambuka and @flcg who wondered what next to do (or is it to post?) I suggested the black dots (you know those that shrink on the 6th floor shows to dig into your brain, although the average psychopath is more intelligent than that guy on the 6th floor).

To speed up a bit I used two "paint"books and did this in-between my work. It has to dry anyway and a hairdryer isn't adviced if you have a "pool" on the paper blowing into directions you don't like it to.

This was a fun thing to do. It's fascinating to see how water and paint create something (ink might be a better choice since not much pigment is left).

if in a hurry, and you try to make the next on at the back of the paper, the image changes!

The biggest surprise to me is #7 and #9 although 9 is fainting.

I noticed that the paint reacts differently on the paper that doesn't says it's meant for wat3rcolour paint. Somehow it's better. I do believe the results would be better and more permanent if ink would be used, trying that out is for another time.

And yes, there are plenty of times my brush ends up in my cup of tea.
