Happy 25th Birthday dodie!!! 🎉🎉
As soon as I heard that dodie’s birthday was coming up, I wanted to paint something as a tribute for her. She’s such an amazing singer-songwriter, and she is such a great person! Her music connected me with friends by all of us playing and singing along to her songs like “Would You Be So Kind”, and I play her songs on the uke and the piano to relax (and it works so well).
So @doddleoddle , thank you for making songs that people can jam and relate to, and thank you for helping me connect with others with a passion for music. Happy Birthday!!
For the art, I did watercolor because I wanted to try it after doing several poster colors. I missed doing it. The process was really time-consuming for the drying time, concept, and details, but otherwise, I was amazed by how much my watercolor skills improved! Also, this is one of the very rare paintings of which I don’t do seconds. It started and finished on the same paper. Making the gradients were hard but fun and worth it, the sunflowers took some coats, and it was just a lot of using and improving my watercolor skills. The only way to go is up! WOO!
For the details, the wings were made because I spilled paint. I love that her albums go from yellow, half-half with gray, and then gray. Like, what a way to use aesthetics! You can see her name on the guitarlele, and the quote at the right leg is from the song “Human”. The rest is yours.
Below are details and my 2019 drawing of dodie! I drew it before I got insta, but I just wanted to put it here since it inspired me to make an art account!
