DRAWING JOURNAL#1: Beautiful Silhouettes with Acrylic Paint

Hello, everyone... do you remember a few days ago I bought acrylic paint for the first time, along with other painting kits. The next day, I immediately tried it for the first time. Actually, for the drawing model, I did look at yuotube, as well as see how the tutorial is step by step.

At first, I prepared a place, tissue, and water to wash the brushes. I took out all the painting kit fibers. Then, I taped the four edges of the sketchbook to make it neat.

For the initial stage, I started from the sky cake using phthalo blue color from V-tec, then for the lower gradation I mixed it slightly with blue lake, then on the third layer I used blue lake.

For the transition from dark to evening color, I first used flesh tint and then a bright orange color, which is 8150 series orange, all the way down.

Then, for the silhouette effect of the trees that dominate the bottom to the center, of course I used the mars black palette. Because this is the first try, honestly my hand still feels stiff and occasionally tremors. It can be seen from the stiff and unprofessional brush strokes. Ha ha ha ... but, I really enjoyed the process from start to finish.

After silhouette was scratched, in addition to the trees, there were also silhouettes of houses and also silhouettes of cable wires that crossed the dark sky. There is also an electric pole standing rigidly.

I did not forget, for the bright night sky, I splashed white paint on the dark blue part. How ...? looks like a starry dumpling, right? Because I saw this tutorial on Youtube, it didn't take long for this gampar to arrive. Only about 15 minutes. Isn't that a relatively fast time for a beginner artist? Ho ho ho.

After finishing, I took a picture of it, and felt very calm. I don't know, my bond with this drawing medium is really cool. It was like I was releasing a burden that had been hanging over my heart and mind. Although not all burdens become light with just one picture, but at least I feel like I just released dopamine.

What do you think? Am I a fast learner? Ha ha ha... thanks for reading my post. See you later.
