For my artist colleagues. Workshops. Holidays spirit for creative community. Paint your world.

Closed eyes, two brushes, one otherworldly being. Ready to meet a new best alien buddy? My imagination went wild after a sci-fi movie marathon and a very relaxing painting process. I obsessed with sci-fi and the magic of bringing alien worlds to life. This sentiment echoes Ray Bradbury The Martian chronicles, particularly Night meeting and movie E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (at the end of the post, the links for the book and movie are provided.)

I’ve created an E.T.-inspired creature that’s just…well, *out of this world*. Think big eyes, adorable features, but with a twist!  What do you think my little alien looks like?:) Imagine Allen, a gentle creature from another world, experiencing the beauty of nature for the very first time.

At first glance, it’s abstract. A collision of green and pink, a dance of light and shadow. But look closer… Do you see it? A creature emerges from the chaos, a being both alien and strangely familiar. I added blue to show blue colors of oceans and rivers.

This alien, painted with a touch of cosmic chaos, embodies curiosity and wonder, much like the ancient Greek gods.  Is she ( I believe it’s a girl:) one of them? Her gaze reflects the beauty of our planet. The smiling sea and clear skies are part of this beauty. Those sea-blue eyes and mountain-like cheeks, head with rivers and lakes are just admiring our beautiful Earth.  What do you see in her eyes?

The technique watercolor clausura is amazing. It sparks countless ideas. These ideas echo in your memory. Inspired by ancient Greek gods & sci-fi books and movies, my alien painting explores curiosity & wonder. My alien’s smile, reflecting the sea & sky, reminds us of the wonder in the unfamiliar. What myths & stories inspire your art?

This creature, born from a blind painting with closed eyes, two brushes, two watercolor paints, shares that same gentle curiosity. Its eyes, pools of deep blue, seem to gaze out at our world with a mixture of wonder and understanding. Its head and cheeks are sculpted by the accidental strokes of the brush. They are like miniature mountains and rivers. They are a testament to the beauty and resilience of nature. It’s a being that seems to admire the Earth, to appreciate the very chaos from which it was born. Do you like this technique? Please share your comments – would love to read them!

Ever wondered what an alien’s perspective on Earth would be? Let’s find out! Join me in a closed-eyes painting experiment. Share your creations using #ArtChallenge.

This painting isn’t just about colors and shapes. It’s about the unexpected result and ideas you find when you let go of control. It’s about embracing the unknown. My alien, adorned with mountain ranges, invites you to share your own artistic visions. What inspires you? Let’s connect & create!

Exploring Intuitive Art: Fox and Roosters. The magic of imagination. Watercolor Clausura technique.

Art workshops, Artist, ArtTravel, Uncategorized

For my artist colleagues. Workshops. Holidays spirit for creative community. Intuitive art, and timeless tale.

I am sharing my artistic journey, highlighting the process and inspirations. The creative process is spontaneous, intuitive and enjoyment! My next funny artwork has the connection between art and literature.

A watercolor painting transformation showcasing the evolution from abstract colors to a detailed fox illustration, with 'Before' and 'After' labels.
Before and after: a watercolor transformation showcasing the artistic journey from abstract to the detailed fox artwork.

Painting with eyes closed, using two brushes, led to a surprising “Fox & Roosters” artwork. In my earlier posts, I described the unique process of watercolor clausura. It involves painting intuitively with eyes closed, using two hands and two brushes. A suggestion for any artist, just step outside a comfort zone – you might discover hidden ideas!:)

Abstract watercolor painting featuring shades of green and blue with fluid shapes and brushstrokes, showcasing an intuitive art style.
What is it? For me it looks like a little fox with its sly eyes and sharp ears!
It was inspired by La Fontaine’s “The Raven and the Fox” depicts a scene where the fox outwits the rooster:)

Honestly, before this, I had never drawn roosters or foxes. Then, I saw the outline of a cunning fox’s face. What do these outlines remind you of? I reread this fable with eternal truths, in a beautiful version of French poetry.

The resulting outlines of this experiment is the fox’s face show the triumph of cunning. It based on the beautiful French poetic La Fontaine’s fable “The Raven and the Fox”. (Le coq et le renard, II.15) . And the oldest Greek fable “The Cock, the Dog and the Fox” by Aesop. (Ο πετεινός και η αλεπού Οι Μύθοι του Αισώπου). (at the end of the post, the links for the tales are provided.)

Both fables are about the same message, the timeless and universal appeal of a truth as old as time. The rooster’s empty-handedness highlights the importance of outsmarting those who are too clever. And it leaves the fox empty-handed:)

A sketch of a fox's face with minimalistic details, set against a faint background of roosters, trees, and a small house.

The moral is to outwit a too cunning fox, eternal truths that can be applied in life. Appearances can be deceiving. Sometimes, the sweetest words hide the sharpest claws.

Yes, experience of the connection between art and literature is the unexpected!

Well… my imagination plus my hands themselves painted something that I would never have thought of or remembered. Art merged with poetry and classical literature. This combination gave me the opportunity for a new experience to paint unusual objects. These ideas were in my own head, which is much more interesting. If someone is lack of art ideas what to paint next topic or plot- here you go!:)

After, with imagination painting. Fox and Roosters. Don’t let a charming smile fool you:)
The cunning fox’s face emerged unexpectedly, a testament to the power of imagination:) Voila


How about an idea of series of paintings with other La Fontaine fables with strong moral lessons. I think it can lead to very interesting experiment:) Where art meets fable.

Sometimes the beauty of this approach lies in its spontaneity and unexpected results. Don’t be afraid to experiment and let your imagination guide you. The combination of your intuitive painting style and your literary inspiration is a unique and powerful creative force. Hope it helps my artist colleagues with multiple ideas for paintings:)

Unleash your inner artist and experience the unexpected!

The magic of imagination or Where dreams take flight. Scuba diving and Marine life. Watercolor Clausura technique.

Art workshops, Artist, ArtTravel

For my artist colleagues. Workshops. Holidays spirit for creative community.
How about to dive into a world of color?

Are you ready to unleash your inner artist and let the colors flow? In today’s post, I am exploring the captivating world of watercolor clausura. I learned this in my watercolor course many years ago. This is my favorite technique especially during this Magic Holidays period.

The watercolor painting with Clausura technique captures the serene beauty of a scuba diver. The diver explores a vibrant sea kingdom, teeming with life and it seems from nowhere:)

Before and After. Scuba diving and Marine life

How? I will share my experiments with this magic technique. You need two brushes. Choose two of your favorite watercolor paints. Get some watercolor paper (300 g). Put on your favorite music with headphones. Most importantly, make sure you have time. Close your eyes and paint with two brushes, completely spontaneously!

Before. What is it? Looks like Marina life, some fishes and a face of a person;)

As the colors blend and dance across the canvas, immerse yourself in the moment. Savor the joy of artistic expression. When you’re finished, take a moment to pause and listen – the painting just whispers something special to you. And if you’re unsure of what the painting is trying to tell you, don’t worry. Try shifting your perspective – turn the painting from vertical to horizontal, or view it from top to bottom. Sometimes, the true beauty of the art reveals itself in unexpected ways.

And your watercolor clausura painting may surprise you with its unique and unusual beauty. Just like this captivating example Scuba diving and Marine life.

So, grab your brushes, embrace the spontaneity, and let the music and colors guide you on a one-of-a-kind artistic journey. Are you ready to discover what your inside voice has to say through the captivating art of watercolor clausura? Let’s dive in and unleash our creativity together!

This is a spontaneous and freeing painting technique. It will ignite your creativity! To start, grab two watercolor brushes and two of your favorite colors. Whether you prefer a dry or wet paper, the choice is yours. Now, close your eyes and immerse yourself in the soothing melodies of your favorite music. Let the rhythm guide your hand as you paint.

The artistic clausura technique adds a captivating depth and dimension, making this piece truly mesmerizing. #watercolorpainting #scubadiving #underwaterworld #seakingdom #artisticclausura #oceanart #marinelife #painting #art #instaart #oceanlover #risovatmogutvse
