A Glimpse at Freedom - (Force Painting).
Hello Steemians and Art Lovers,
It was quite aong weekend and I thank God for everything that came with it. For a very long time as an artist, I've been working and finding that which I can call my personal style/technique as an artist and I think I have finally found one!
I have always known my drawing skills to be my top strength and merging it with painting that I love has been my dream for a very long time and finally, I am living and actualizing the dream now. I'm so happy and grateful to God.
The portraiture above shows my my scribbles which I made with an acrylic based marker with so much confidence to it. I then complemented it with my painting skills in a very artistic and unapologetic manner. I just love the outcome so much!
You need to see this piece physically, you'll love it so bad!
This was at the early stage of the work, I was making use of a tiny tip marker to make my sketch of the portrait with shapes and lines I prefer. It was a very light sketch at this stage.
At this stage I was already so confident with my sketch then I shaded it with my scribble lines using a marker with a bigger tip and it was quite fulfilling. Well, I already agreed with myself that I was going to use the marker to cover up the darkest areas of the piece and the paints would come in a middle tones and highlights.
At the stage, I was just throwing my brushstrokes anyhow I deemed fit with so much confidence using varieties of brushes and I was just enjoying the process. I did enjoyed every bit of the process.
I was very precised with my highlights, I wasn't jsuy throwing it anyhow and everywhere but jsuy those little space where it's actually needed and it worked out just fine for me!
