Art magic and tools

A follow-up to my previous post on art magic with some more ideas surrounding what tools you use rather than specific art mediums.

Palettes

There are a couple of ways to make palettes magical. Of course you can bless a plain palette, wash it with blessed water or draw a sigil on the bottom. But there is also the symbolism of the objects you use for a palette. For an example, a large sea shell can make an excellent palette:

Here I was using gouache and the seashell as a base really helped connect me to the energies of the sea for this landscape painting.

In addition, you can use China plates (from the thrift store in my case) as paint palettes, and depending on the colour and decoration they can be used for a whole manner of purposes.

Brushes

Softer brushes, whether synthetic or genuine animal hair, can be a great way to blend and add softness to your work. By contrast, thick, coarse brushes can act as a rougher edge: more powerful in some cases, less subtle.

If you're using genuine animal hair, get to know what animal the hair came from to understand the energy of that brush. And make sure to thank the animal's spirit, if you do such things.

If you're particularly crafty, you can even make your own brushes using human hair. I've always wanted to learn to do that.

Pencils

In the past I have painted sigils onto my art pencils for use in my practice, relating to creativity and inspiration. But the type of pencil you use also has an effect.

A harder pencil, like a HB, will have a different effect to a softer 2B or 4B for example. Your pencil sharpener can also help you to embue energy into your tool: Think about your intentions as you sharpen.

Pastels

Oil pastels have a certain nostalgic feel for me, like I'm using crayons for grownups. You can carve into the base of the pastel a small symbol, or use colours based on association. You can also wrap the pastel in paper with any number of things on it, from a petition to a poem.

Mediums

Whether it's refined linseed oil for oil paints or water for watercolour or acrylics, your paint mediums can be used to bless your art work. Paint a sigil on the jar that holds the medium, or if its suitable you can bless the medium itself. For watercolour and such, you can use sacred water such as moon water. Or add a drop of essential oils into the mix (if it won't react with your paint) with intention.

Sketchbooks / Canvases

As for the paper itself, it can help to make sure you know the differences between different papers you're working with. Cold-pressed watercolour paper will have a different feel and texture to hot-pressed. Oil paper tends to be more coarse, sketchbook paper thinner ect. I mostly use mixed media paper and watercolour paper for my art.

If you have a hardback sketchbook, decorate the front with symbolic art work or sigils. I painted water lilies on the front of my sketchbook, to symbolise beauty, calmness and growth.

For a canvas, sanding down that fresh canvas can be a way to embue your intention into your piece. You can also add a sigil or rune before you start sanding. Using a canvas wedge to tighten your piece at the end or beginning can help lock in that intention.

pinned info post :]

👋 Hi & welcome to my art blog! I figured it's about time I add a little about me/q&a section.

q: who are you?

q: what do you use for art?

Marlowe, mid-twenties, they/them. Primarily I like painting landscapes and still-lifes (particularly of food), but the occasional fanart does sneak in here now and then.

For digital, I use Procreate and a mix of default & downloaded brushes; this ask contains some info about the brushes. For traditional art, I go through phases of working with different mediums - I like acrylics, oils, gouache, watercolours, oil pastels, and colour pencils. Feel free to ask for more details on materials, but I'm by no means an expert! I just like to try stuff out :^)

q: can I repost your art?

Please don't. This blog is the only place I post art these days (I also have an instagram account, marlowe.artist, but I'm more active on here.)

q: can I use your art as my profile pic/etc?

Sure, as long as you give me credit.

q: do you sell prints/do commissions/accept requests?

No for all three, sorry! That being said, if you want to print out my art for personal use only (ie don't make a profit from it) and with credit, go ahead.

q: can I get a tattoo of your work?

You wouldn't be the first! It's most likely fine, but please message me with a link to the specific piece just in case.

q: I have a question that wasn't answered here :(

Ask box is always open! I'm kinda slow with replies but I'll do my best. Also if you're messaging off-anon, let me know if you want me to answer you privately, else I'll assume public is fine.

Lovely paintings by Zimbabwe born painter and sculptress Sheena Ridley. She has her studio gallery the Langkloof Gallery and Sculpture Garden on the Kykoe Road, thirty kilometres from Uniondale.

Sheena uses the palette knife in her oils and her pastels are vibrant with movement. She portrays local landscapes and people in her work, focussing on stance and colours to provoke emotion.

Julie Janet Fraser headcannons <3

(oc from ‘Divine Light’, a series I’m starting) (idk why her hair and eyes r brown in the gif, her hair is black and her eyes r actually green, this is just the only gif I could find of Alice Pagani where her hair is long)

• she’s named after Claire’s mother Julia, and Jenny whose actual name is Janet

• she is 12 minutes younger than Brianna

• she isn’t particularly a morning person or a night person, she can go to bed late and wake up early, go to bed early and wake up late, or go to bed early and wake up early, it’s just rlly random

• she got into painting when she was 10 and after years of experimenting with different mediums, she found her love for oil paints. Her favourite things to paint were people and landscapes, and her paintings of sceneries were always signed and hung around the house, along with some of her paintings of her family.

• she loved wearing skirts and dresses, and her fashion style was very angel-like, with lots of lace and light florals, but she also wore clothes that were very trendy as well when she felt like it (money definitely wasn’t a problem for them with franks job and Claire’s, despite the gendered pay gap)

• her and Fergus get on so well they’re brother and sister they’re best friends they’re partners in crime (not actually tho at least atm, we’ll see what happens)

• her and Marsali also get on so well, especially since Marsali never really knew girls her own age growing up, and she misses Jodie so much, so Julie would fill the void a little, but not take Jodie’s place.

• she can’t decide on a new colour, she feels like she’s always discovering new ones even if it’s the slightest difference from one she’s seen before, but she loves green and pink and blue a lot, but she also loves orange and yellow and purple a lot. She goes in spirals like that tiny one when people ask cause she can never decide and if she does decide on one it’ll change very quickly

• she view emotions as different colours: any shade of bright or pastel pink from blush to fuchsia is happiness, sadness is a dark shade of purple (#460457 - type that into safari and it’ll show you the exact colour), anger is an orange that leans toward red rather than yellow #eb4200, calm is a deep warm brown #542b16, fear is a dark muted yellow #8a8460

• her favourite flowers are delphinium, foxglove, bearded iris, Himalayan poppy, wisteria, carnation, and her favourite “filler flowers” are sweet pea, forget me not, astilbe, and spirea.

• like Brianna, she went to Harvard, but she studied Botany and Geology for her bachelors degree. Since Brianna was 20 when she met Roger, I’m just gonna assume she was doing a Masters degree, which requires an extra year or so, since she was still in university and changing her degree and people tend to start university at 18. I tried to find out how old people generally were when starting university in the 60s but i didn’t find anything. Assuming they did go to university at 18, Julie is done with university when she travels through the stones (we don’t see anything about Brianna graduating and I think that’s just because she changed her degree so to engineering from history so I think she wouldn’t have graduated when Julie did).

Thank you for reading 🫶🏼

Gallery At Home: Choosing the Perfect Canvas Painting For Your Living Room

Selecting the perfect canvas painting for living room can dramatically transform the look and feel of the space. Whether you’re looking for a modern art painting, a bold paintings abstract piece, or a classic oil painting, buying paintings online gives you access to a plethora of designs. Find home decoration items online and showcase your unique taste and personality.

Choosing The Ideal Canvas Painting: Make Your Living Room Stand Out!

Inject personality and vibrancy into your living room with the perfect canvas painting. From bold, abstract styles to meticulous oil paintings, modern art can truly make a statement. Whether you’re looking for standout paintings abstract or something more understated, purchasing paintings online provides you with a broad spectrum of options. Go ahead, curate your home decoration items online and create a unique space that you truly love.

1.Enhance Your Decor: Perfect Canvas Painting Selections

The colours, theme, and style of the oil paintings should enhance and match your current interiors. For example, a canvas painting featuring pastel colours and flowers could perfectly enhance a room with vintage furniture and décor.

A series of three or more pieces like The Udaipur Elephant 3 Panel Framed Canvas Print that are related by subject, style, and colour can be more eye-catching than a single large piece. For example, three related oil paintings featuring a woodland scene can create a harmonious flow across a living room wall.

2. OptFor The Perfect Style: Guide To Canvas Painting Selection

If you want to depict more detail in your painting, opt for a canvas painting for living room from paintings online with a smooth texture. However, if your painting style is more expressive or bold, a canvas with a rougher texture could be ideal.

Gallery-profile oil paintings which have thicker bars, will create a more impactful and contemporary look as it stands out from the wall. A traditional profile canvas is more suitable if you plan to frame your artwork.

3. Choosing Colors: A Vital Aspect In Selecting A Canvas Painting

Avoid choosing paintings abstract from home decoration items online that exactly match your wall colour as it can lead to modern art paintings losing their prominence. For instance, if you have a light-coloured wall, choose darker tones in your canvas painting and vice versa.

A canvas painting showcasing a vibrant street scene could tie in well with a predominantly white living room if it features pops of white among its other colours.

4. Quality Matters: Opting For High-Quality Canvas Prints

Giclee prints have superior image quality with greater colour accuracy. For example, a monochrome modern art painting of a classic car, printed using the giclee method, reveals intricate details and varying shades of grey and black that aren’t noticeable in ordinary canvas prints.

The thicker the frame, the less likely it will warp over time. Go for at least 1.5 inches thick, which is standard for high-quality prints. A 1.5-inch-thick frame holds its form perfectly, even after multiple moves and redecorations.

5. Maintain The Vibe: Ensuring Theme Consistency In Your Canvas Painting Choice

If your space has a dynamic and vibrant feel, choose a pop art canvas to maintain consistency.

If your living room has shades of beige and cream, then a canvas painting depicting a desert landscape with sandy colours or beige modern art paintings would blend well with the interiors.

Top Trends In Canvas Painting: Stay in Style

Canvas painting is a timeless form of artistic expression. It constantly evolves, reflecting both historical periods and current social and cultural phenomena. Staying abreast of these top trends can help to inform your style and boost your technique.

1.Dive Into Details: The Rise Of Macro Detailing in Canvas Paintings

This trend portrays intricate designs with a precision that almost resembles a high-resolution photograph. It transforms ordinary scenes into extraordinary art pieces, presenting the unnoticed beauty of textures, colours, and patterns. Viewers are given the chance to observe the microscopic details of life with awe such as in Amalfi Coast Framed Canvas Print. The extensive time, skill and patience required, however, have helped to elevate the status of artists exploring this style, whilst allowing them to display their technical mastery in an engaging, fascinating manner.

2. A Delightful Mixture: The Charm Of Multimodal Textures In Canvas Paintings

Multimodal textures in canvas paintings are a popular trend where artists combine different types of paints, textures and techniques to create a captivating and varied visual experience. Using acrylics, oils, or water colours alongside techniques like impasto, glazing or stippling, they create intriguing surfaces that charm viewers. Additionally, some artists incorporate non-traditional materials like sand or fabric, bringing a 3D quality to their artwork. This playful experimentation results in dynamic interactions like in Dover Solitary Framed Canvas Print – Big.

3. Creating Visual Impact: The Unique Appeal Of Dot Painting

With a variety of tools to create striking, dot-laden visuals that captivate viewers, these artworks display their precision and rhythmic pattern. From bold, large dots to delicate, intricate ones, the designs offer endless possibilities for artistic expression. Inspired by ancient Aboriginal art, this trend combines traditional aesthetics with a contemporary twist. With every dot acting as a distinct visual element, dot painting creates a remarkable spectacle, providing depth and a tactile appeal that challenges traditional painting styles.

4. Metallic Shades In Canvas Painting: A Modern Trend

This modern technique creates a shimmering effect that enhances the aesthetics of any painting such as Beauteous Butterflies Framed Crystal Glass Painting – Set of 3. The vibrant glimmers not only provide a sense of depth and dimension, but they also exude luxury and elegance. Popular metallic hues include gold, silver, bronze, and copper, each evoking a unique mood and ambience. With their potential to dramatically transform a piece, metallic shades are redefining traditional canvas painting norms. This style is commonly seen in modern and contemporary art.

5. A Dynamic Duo: Combining Matte And Gloss In Canvas Painting

A recent trend in canvas painting involves pairing matte and gloss paints together. Paintings like Mandella Glow Crystal Glass Painting – Set of 3 use different textures to add depth and interest to their work, with the matte finish offering a flat, non-reflective surface, and the gloss finish providing a high shine, reflecting light to catch the viewer’s eye. The combination of these two finishes creates a unique visual contrast that highlights the focal points and amplifies the overall artistic effect, turning a simple painting into an enchanting work of art.

Choosing the perfect canvas painting for living room requires careful consideration of factors such as size, colours, style, and personal preferences. The chosen artwork should not only blend with your room’s aesthetics but also reflect your personality and taste, enhancing the overall ambience of the living space.
