An Illusion

in ᴀʀᴛ & ᴀʀᴛɪꜱᴛꜱlast month

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.

Watercolour paint


Sort:  

The story is about an apple on a Tupperware container. I remember we talked about bags of potato chips and pelicans.
Where did they go?
I theoretically have 5 days left, less than 120 hours before a supposed total blackout. If I can't communicate with you, I can always resort to messages in bottles and mark the days on stone with crosses. Then, like a nomad, I'll tell you stories from a fantasy island.
I like your watercolor. Let your imagination run wild. You're a great artist.

So... back to the stones it it. I assume you can not throw them over here. If there's a pelican left we can use it for the mail though I am not sure if they can fly that far and if no one will shoot it.. just out of fun or for food.. you neve know. No potatoes around except for the one my son planted. It looks pathetic and if goes like before we have plenty of plants but no potatoes. They grow everywhere except with us. We should ignore them and leave them in the basement togehter with that body... oh, no, wait it disappeared. Someone showed up to clean up the mess left behind and paint the kitchen wall (it wasn't me I swear, I only tried to wash the curtains).
Tupperware... I still have that apple, I assume it's still fine within a week or three since most likely it's used to a cool cell. The tupperware? It must be with 4noppes, no one has something to store and I threw the cheap ones away. Plastic is unhealthy but... what isn't? At least we all have a spoon in our brain or a "spork" (one side spoon the other side fork, always handy if youi like to travel). The ship with oil is on it's way to Israel.

Is there a countdown? It can be fake since tomorrow it's Friday 13th and next Valentine's Day (a great day with many customers or an easy one in bed or better: painting with watercolour.) and next we have the New Year! Yahoo.. the fire horse is on it's way: FREEDOM!

What will be on day 6?

I send you and the family a big hug!

Mr. Rorschach nervously smokes in a dark corner)))
And here I'm definitely referring to two characters.

A well-fed raccoon turns to a passerby and asks for more food)))

By the way, I thought that pools of paint can be dried with a hair dryer, but hot air should be supplied from the back of the drawing, not the paint itself, but through the paper from below)

===============
Господин Роршах нервно курит в тёмном углу )))
А здесь я точно виду двух персонажей.
Упитанный енот обращается к прохожему и просит ещё еды)))

Кстати, я подумал, что лужицы краски можно сушить феном, но горячий воздух подавать с обратной стороны рисунка, не саму краску, а через бумагу снизу )

You are the 3rd who sees a beggar...a well fed raccoon for you, @almaguer saw a dog and if you ask me it's the middle ages where sick people had to cover their face with a mask (it's nearly Carnival and more sick people, 40% more, are expected) to not scare the citizens with their faces because of the pox or???

I have no idea how to use a hairdryer from the back. I can't lift the paper and using it underneath the table will be useless.
I believe a different type of paper is needed or ink perhaps.

🤔 There's also a giant bird above those two figures... Food?

Now I can see the bird too :)
It turned out to be interesting, three readable figures on one sheet at once.

About drying with a hair dryer, I just made a suggestion. But you can deepen it))
Take a raw sheet of watercolor, put it on the glass, and direct hot air from the hair dryer to the glass from below :)

I will try it out tomorrow or something else and let you know. Thanks for the suggestion. LOL

Great, I'll wait for the result, I'm interested)

Thanks for stopping by and support 🖐 😊

Thanks for support 🖐 😊

(And yes, there are plenty of times my brush ends up in my cup of tea.) You have to be careful, DON'T drink what's in your cup. I can just imagine the taste of the paint and how you stir it with the brush, hahaha. I've seen homeless people get high just from smelling paint; the same thing could happen to you.Imagine, you get up from your chair literally levitating

😂😂😂, that was really funny @lupega (reminds me I have a secondary school friend who might actually drink this to test it, I've seen him swallow a handful of lipgloss just to taste the flavor😂)

There's nothing wrong with tasting and trying, @dreeyor. Unlike what people say, and the idiom stating that curiosity kills the cat isn't true, it's a sign of intelligence.

BTW @lupega, that cup is for sale in your second home. Don't forget my milk coffee or milk anis.

I hope @wakeupkitty.pal is careful , drinking something like that could be dangerous.

You're right, she really should be careful

Thank you so much for your support.

I don't stir just dip and I never been lucky enough to levitate 😭
Watercolour paint doesn't smell, acrylic a bit but I do us a cloth to wipe off the brush. I can't throw away every cup, that would be such a waste.

Smelling paint? An expensive hobby. What type of paint was that? Oil paint?
