Although,<br> if you don't mind me saying... should I never see another YouTube video in my life,<br> I could live with that; as much as I love it,<br> I am also completely sick to death of it.\n\nSometimes you do come across some hidden gems and one of those beautiful finds was the channel of Gerda Lipski,<br> a brilliant artist from Germany who works with acrylics. Despite having to read subtitles; sometimes no translation meant I was flying blind but that didn't matter,<br> I was mesmerised by her work.\n\nShe uses many different techniques that I was not aware of and therefore,<br> she has expanded the horizon of my artistic journey and helped me reach another level in my own painting.\n\nSome of her techniques include using lots of isopropyl alcohol and\/or water splashes to lift colour from the page,<br> creating beautiful background textures which she will then use to pull out interesting shapes to further enhance and build upon. She uses a lot of reductive methods and negative space painting to create some amazing pieces. I've included a link to her website gallery,<br> should you like to have a look at her work.\n\n[Gerda Lipski - Painting \/ Monotype \/ Workshops (https:\/\/gerdalipski.com\/Bildergalerie\/)\n\nOne of my biggest takeaways is that I have started working on paper rather than canvas. It was getting rather crowded in my studio and using paper means my artwork now takes up much less room,<br> especially for work that I consider to be 'practice' pieces.\n\n![Acrylic on watercolour paper (https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/FsIrWSm.jpg)\n\nAnyhoo,<br> I hope you enjoy my work and do give Gerda's page a quick visit. If you too are a 'budding artist' looking for some new techniques,<br> I promise you'll be pleasantly surprised.\n\n\n<center>\n\nhttps:\/\/i.imgur.com\/u7Do3Kd.png\n\nThanks for stopping by and reading my post,<br> I really do appreciate your time.\n### And remember to keep smiling,<br> it makes people wonder what you're thinking...!\n\n<br>\n\nhttps:\/\/i.imgur.com\/VBf96Pj.png\n\nIf you enjoyed reading my post,<br> please follow,<br> comment and upvote.\nAll photos,<br> stories and graphics are my own work unless otherwise noted.\n\n<br>\n\nhttps:\/\/i.imgur.com\/nPCnREd.png\n\nhttps:\/\/i.imgur.com\/u7Do3Kd.png\n\nProudly representing\n\nhttps:\/\/i.imgur.com\/WGuBGxi.png\n\nhttps:\/\/i.imgur.com\/u7Do3Kd.png\n\nProud supporter of @steeming-hot\n\nhttps:\/\/cdn.steemitimages.com\/DQmdCimXD2sHmZFpicaiPQvLwHc8T9mbn1PmU5f9QgbsT4M\/steeming-hot-bot_small.png\n\n<\/center>",<br>"json_metadata":" \"app\":\"pruner\",<br>\"message\":\"See you on the other side!\" " |
