I am very interested in taking my artwork ...Sara, <br /> I am very interested in taking my artwork to the next level. Its going to take a lot of experimentation on my part to figure out what the next level may entail. I am an untrained artist- i took a semester of acrylic painting when i got out of HS but what i know i know through my own experimentation/creative path. <br />and while i don’t feel i need to go get a degree in art i feel that sometimes my limited knowledge can get me stuck doing the same stuff over and over again. I love that i have a distinct look to my artwork but i yearn to make more of it. Perhaps a class or two at the local community college will help spark some new ideas, make me try some new techniques. <br /><br />....I did the first layers of color on the harpy over the weekend. i will be posted pictures of it later today when i get home from work. <br /><br />Thanks so much for the support, always! Its wonderful to read your words, comments and reactions to my work. <br /><br />lets certainly do an art trade some day! I would love to. And i hope to see some of your new art soon! <br /><br />Danny says thanks for the B-day nod. And of course he knows who you are...your only Lucid Optic Lab's best customer!<br /><br />Much Love,<br />-Chelsea Rose<br />www.chelsearoseart.comChelsea Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14321592429596600263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-261066065057523488.post-83447083965641900452009-11-15T07:29:59.223-08:002009-11-15T07:29:59.223-08:00I'm really looking forward to seeing how both ...I'm really looking forward to seeing how both come out. The background for the warrior mermaid painting is beautiful- but you already know that! It will be interesting to see more detailed backgrounds in your pieces. I already told you about the nice depth you had in your Posy Nymph and it would be awesome if the same kind of depth was present in your newer pieces, especially with the more detailed bg. I'm so excited to see how they turn out!<br /><br />On a slightly related note, someday I'd really love to do an art trade with you. I know you've seen precious little of my stuff, but I've been working on some new stuff lately that has (hopefully) more of an impact than the old. I've gotta upload some to facebook...<br /><br />Anyway, I hope Danny's birthday is great! (even though he doesn't know me, haha).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-261066065057523488.post-50909838010899831592009-11-13T12:38:53.011-08:002009-11-13T12:38:53.011-08:00Hey Kevin!
Really glad you enjoyed the underwater...Hey Kevin! <br />Really glad you enjoyed the underwater cityscape. <br />Its funny, last night Danny and I were just talking about this very same question you asked. <br />Growing up as a kid with TVs and the Internet at the ready cartoons have very certainly engrained their imprint onto my artistic expression whether i do it consciously or not. But i am a true fan of vibrancy and luminescence so i think thats just how it translates when i pick up the paint brush: lots of intense contrasting cartoony color. Color is candy for me.<br />But yea…my biggest cartoon inspirations would probably be Sailor Moon and a lot of other anime( when i was going through my young awkward super nerd stage at age 10-13) But recently I have really come to appreciate Samurai Jack cartoon and its amazing illustration and rendering. I love how you can make out brush strokes and other signs of art within the scenes. I remember watching Ren and Stimpy every year when i went to go see a friend in Ohio as a kid. Her husband had DVDS of EVERY episode and I agree- the art and coloring with that was amazing. <br />Also- I have always loved the way Gotham has been illustrated and colored in various batman cartoons. another huge inspiration there as far as grimy/electric gothic city scapes go.Chelsea Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14321592429596600263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-261066065057523488.post-30791037045987417722009-11-13T11:54:33.433-08:002009-11-13T11:54:33.433-08:00Hey, it's Anonymous again. Might as well just ...Hey, it's Anonymous again. Might as well just call me Kevin. That painted cityscape looks AMAZING. Did any particular artist inspire/ influence you for that sort of cartoony/awesome coloring? I find that Ren and Stimpy was an early inspiration for me, especially those highly detailed close-up gross out things.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
