In contrast to my last post, I am extremely pleased with this piece I did last night. To me it resembles a tattered, worn-out flag. #unbridledemotion #painting #creditcard #liquitex #redoxide #liquitexbasics #homemademodern #sailorblue #chalkboardblack #target #flag #art #acrylic #abstract #creative #graphic #artist #artistsoninstagram #black #interiordesign #insiderart #artstrending #galaxys7 #samsung #artaddictsgallery (at Saint Petersburg, Florida)

WIP || rounding the finish line. Almost done with this piece. I'm unhappy with the balance of black. I tried flipping it upside down but I don't think it makes it much better. Getting progressively more annoyed the more I look at it. I might try cropping it in photoshop and see if it changes how I feel.

Had to improvise since the orange was not as pigmented as the black and blue 😭. I don't think any amount of layers would've produced the opacity I wanted. Oh well. #unbridledemotion #strathmore #artistsofinstagram #painting #insiderart #improv #planb #acrylic #wip #abstract #instaart

WIPs from last night. Trying some new brush techniques. (new to me anyway). Really pleased how well they are turning out so far. The bottles in the pictures are colors that I plan on using. I picked up some inexpensive paint from @target yesterday, and I'm using @strathmoreart Acrylic canvas paper. . . . . . #unbridledemotion #galaxys7 #artaddictsgallery #strathmore #artistsofinstagram #painting #insiderart #rawemotion #confession #confessionsofanartist #art #samsung #instaart #abstract #abstractart #Happy #doitfortheprocess #canvas #artstrending #liquitexbasics #acrylic #paint #behindthescenes #depression #mentalhealth #betterwithcolor #passioncolorjoy (at Saint Petersburg, Florida)

WIP. First painting is inspired by geodes. Others are just what I feel in the moment. Working with @liquitexofficial Basics mixed with Flow-aid on @strathmoreart Acrylic canvas paper. . . . . . #unbridledemotion #galaxys7 #liquitex #strathmore #artistsofinstagram #geode #painting #selfreflection #rawemotion #confession #confessionsofanartist #art #samsung #instaart #earth #abstract #abstractart #fear #uncertainty #canvas #artstrending #liquitexbasics #acrylic #paint #flowaid #behindthescenes #depression #mentalhealth #betterwithcolor #passioncolorjoy (at Saint Petersburg, Florida)

So it's been 16 days since my last post and it's currently 12:17am where I am. Not the most optimal time to be posting according to "the experts" but at this point I don't care. I've been pretty much terrified of painting recently, I've hated most everything that I've put down on the paper and I've been too scared of failure to do anything about it. I see paintings that people that I follow have done and it half inspires me and half discourages me. I guess with a little liquid courage tonight I picked up a brush and just started painting and tried not to care so much about what I was making and whether I hated it or not. The lighting is shit but this is what I've done over the past couple of hours. I'm optimistic in that I think that using @strathmore 's acrylic paper and @liquitex 's flow-aid that I'm starting to like what I'm producing. Maybe tomorrow won't be so bad. . . . . . #unbridledemotion #liquidcourage #liquitex #strathmore #artistsofinstagram #beer #painting #selfreflection #rawemotion #confession #confessionsofanartist #art #iphone #instaart #insomnia #abstract #abstractart #fear #uncertainty #canvas #paper #liquitexbasics #acrylic #paint #bts #behindthescenes #depression #mentalhealth #betterwithcolor #passioncolorjoy (at Saint Petersburg, Florida)

Thought I could get a neat pattern from using the end of a celery stalk. Practicing on a sheet of paper while my canvas dries. I plan on layering lots of different colors. *crunch* . . . . . #unbridledemotion #painting #wip #bts #behindthescenes #artistsofinstagram #artofinstagram #instaart #celery #veggies #liquitex #liquitexbasics #strathmore #palettepaper #art #blue #purple #acrylic #abstract #creative #graphic #artist #iphone

"earth, shattered." | behind the scenes As promised, here's a peek at the method I used for painting this piece. I spread different color paints on my palette paper with a knife, then dabbed my plastic bag "brush" in the paint and went to work. I alternated between colors building the various layers.
