The First Bulldog I did as part of MAKE/100.

#1 Diego

8"x10"

mixed media on wooden panel

I used Micron pens (archival ink) to make the very detailed drawing in black, then added a warm earth color with Faber Castell PITT artist pen and white highlights with GAMBLIN Titanium white oil paint.

Really love the result!
I suggest framing this piece in a wide flat black frame with a thin gold liner to highlight the honey warmness of his eyes. 

Psst... Check my Instagram accaunt: IGRINART - for more details on the "Make 100 French bulldogs" project progress.

Make 100 French Bulldogs

Yes! I went crazy 
and committed to create 100 French Bulldog* inspired Art Pieces till the end of the year 2017. (*I included Boston Terriers, Pugs and Pigs in this project, because of obvious similarities)
All the paintings will be on sale during the following month. Limited edition signed giclee prints are also available!

Vinyl Art

Found a bunch of old ruined vinyl records in my garage. It would be nice to use them as a wall decoration.... Here is some first experiments:

Hmm... How about creating a wall with portraits of favorite musicians?

Used Oil Based Sharpie to create the drawing on the vinyl:

Madam C

This painting was planned as a watercolor but... well... you mustn't forget to bring the WATERCOLORS with you then!

As a substitute I used the watercolor pencil to make a detailed sketch and washed it with water to give it the desired watercolor effect.

Kandy @ the Lost Leaf

Another amazing model from the Anti-Art School in Phoenix.

Washing my brush in a glass with apple cider caused the painting to be a little sweet and sticky, but who has time to go and get water!

I was told: You must be careful how you post your art. Make sure images posted online have a lower resolution and include a copyright notice. Well... What is this "copyright notice" anyway?
