Lab Work – Acrylic Fruit Pieces, Markers

With the recent refill of acrylic paint markers, there are a few updates on X to share, acrylic fruit pieces.

First, more time in the lab, lab work is now being processed and posted directly to my x.com account – @salleecreates. Feel free to follow if you’re interested want. However, I will still provide updates here in the form of multiple studies, collections and series of works to keep everyone up to date.

@SalleeCreates On X.com

Recently, I found a few work arounds for the markers, see my update here – Liquitex Liquid Refills. In any case, hope you enjoy the new collection of sketches/under-paintings on fruit.

Secondly, more acrylic fruits and veg will be posted soon as I clean up those under-paintings and post them to x.com/@salleecreates. For those of you who have previewed some of my work before or if it is your first time, welcome. Same for the noticing, you may have noticed the inclusion of some new paint marker colors – blue, green, yellow. I’ve held off buying markers for awhile with the idea of getting back to brush and paint. Typically, I use only Mars Black, Titanium White, Unbleached Titanium, Neutral Grey 5 and a variety of ink pens. Nothing too crazy or extraordinary, just blue, black and red ball point pen, markers (black, sepia and grey) and number 4H pencils.

More Human Anatomy

Finally, I’d like to point out some older posts on x.com, with the main focus being human anatomy. Such as arms, bones, hearts, and the brain. Similarly, be sure to check those out while you’re there. If not, I’ll post a follow-up with those items included. The same goes for a new focus on superhero anatomy, where I’ll be working on musculature, structure, dynamic motion and some of my favorite comic publishers.

As usual leave a comment below, let us know what you’re thinking?

Liquid Acrylic Refills

New Markers

Liquid Acrylic Refills – Back In The Lab

Lab Work – Liquid Acrylic Refills

We are back in business, liquid acrylic refills in hand and have found away around ordering smaller orders, parts, and dealing with shipping issues.

We now have Liquitex Fluid Acrylics on the bench. Honestly, I needed new markers, and found a refill fluid made by Liquitex which has been working well so far. There are no blockers, or blockages from the acrylic paint markers. It is a great alternative to buying or mixing brand paints, where viscosities and fluid flow rates may be off. Additionally, you can refill the markers already purchased and simply replace the tips when needed. I found the tips or tip replacements on Amazon for a relatively small fee. Next, with the extra tips and new fluid acrylics we are back in business utilizing the original paint marker shells or tubes regardless of size.

Vinyl Record Series

I will be shifting some of my lab time over to the vinyl record series next week to account for the markers. Ultimately, now that the paint blocker has been resolved, I can get back to work on the bigger pieces. It’s been a few weeks since I set that project aside to focus on sketches, fruits, vinyl records, the human form, in small quantities or usage, pencil/pen and under-paintings. I’ve been putting more emphasis on developing ideas rather than immediately diving into the final work or series. Stay tuned for a post about the vinyl work next week or the following week.

Finally, check out my x account, @salleecreates and give me a follow if you can. I appreciate the views and interest. Let’s connect if there is something you might be interested in purchasing or if you want something custom, created for your home or office space.

Sun Study

Sun Light

Sunset Study

Rise and Set, Sun Study

Artwork – Sun Study Series

Raise and shine! Or Another sun set, sun cascading over the rolling water, salt, and sand. Let’s start, there are a number pieces to this study, more paintings to the Sun Study, mix media pieces etc., currently unearthing those from storage. Here we have a series of light; sun/sun sets etc.

Light. These pieces focus on the light (oppose to dark) from a certain light source, the sun and how it falls on objects, land, or water. For now, the following sunset works will serve as a storage/archive for the series. Created in various sizes, using acrylics and different mediums, we delve into the exploration of the sun.

More Light

Now let’s focus on more content, additional content/art will be added later, so please check back at some point. I’m a fan of the light and colors created at dusk and dawn; just before and after the best light for photographs.

Lastly, take a look at my latest sketches, more sketches that further define the sun study and artwork on X and progression of photos. You can also explore our pieces and artwork in the artwork category.

Piet Study

Masters Piet Study And More

Piet Study

Inspired by Abstractionist, and Dutch Master

Artwork – Mondrian Series

Mondrian, The Piet Study

First, a brief look into some work inspired by the Dutch Master Piet Mondrian (1872 – 1944). Check out the MoMA website for more information on Piet Mondrian to learn about him, his style, and the abstraction movement.

Secondly, these are the only pieces I could find, but there are others out there. In total, there are roughly 10 or more pieces like the “deconstructed” building pieces.

Next, the Piet Study series spans roughly 12 or more years, with artwork given as gifts to family members, for weddings and more. The third piece features more deconstructed rectangles on canvas, sticking to brown tones, reminiscent of terracotta. Unfortunately, these are the only two pieces I have in my possession.

Additionally, more on that later. I’ve got more like the first two labeled “square 1 and square 2” where the deconstructed Piet inspiration is more of a one off. Mondrian has many more like some of my favorites:

  1. Mill in the sunlight
  2.  Devotion
  3. The Red Mill
  4. Lighthouse in Westkapelle

For now, let’s us celebrate Mondrian and enjoy the artwork. Check out my latest sketches and artwork at @salleecreates for progression photos. Lastly, you can also explore other pieces like the Piet Study, those can be found under the art tag or category for artwork.

More images will follow. We will include a hand study and a tree study over the year. The main image won first prize back in college, highlighting various elements such as clouds, marketing, a human bust and the human skeletal structure. The second image is an old oil painting, created before university, while studying the bust of Alexander the Great.

Lastly, a human form painting inspired by the famous “Girl With The Pearl Earring” by Dutch Master Johannes Vermeer ~1665. Although the famous pearl earring was hidden in this rendering, the study was an early ‘pointillism’ painting on watercolor paper. The final work was to represent the most famously painted by such names as Georges Seurat and Paul Signac ~1800. This study was very early on in my painting adventures, human form creations, and movement same as those created today. These are great starts, some have become backgrounds, textures and more playing a major role in other paintings. See those and more under the category of artwork.

The style, at this point is my own, which has been consistent throughout my career, most recently in a study of pelicans you can find those paintings by searching Bird Study or click the link. Color is important here, makes for good acrylics (paintings, mixed media etc. and so on) including indoor, outdoor, subject matter – human, animals, creatures, energy, really anything.. For the context of this  post, color typically comes in the surreal flavor if you will, call it my self-expression or whatever, I rarely choose the real palette represented in a study or model. Again, not to be a rebel, maybe perhaps to give it a different ‘life’. To create something with “a life of it’s own or on it’s won”, I guess.

I explore the world around us, using color and space to define the setting, mood, and time. Stay tuned for more updates. Check out my latest sketches and artwork on X for progression photos, or browse other pieces in the artwork category.

Triptych

A Painting Series called A Travelers Triptych

Traveling Triptych

A Traveling Triptych – A Life’s Journey, Vagabond, to Scholar, and Under The Knife

Artwork – Triptych

Traveling works, national art show. The Traveling Triptych.

Firstly, the Traveling Triptych series is an exploration of color, human form, emotion, and the essence of being human; this series is called the Traveling Triptych. Painted back in the early 2000s, the works won multiple first awards, traveled coast-to-coast and remains in my private collection. Secondly, there are three distinct real reasons for each painting: 1. A vagabonds life, roaming around, living as is, looking for meaning in this life. 2. Thinking, settled now, trying to make sense of this world, striving to perfection, reflecting on life. 3. Moreover, under the knife, aging not so well these days, but needing to correct organics and better ones’ life, now sharing life’s blessing.

Under The Knife

Under The Knife

Thirdly, this piece or series was completed in the early 2000s as part of my undergraduate studies, particularly focusing on color theory. Likewise, I wanted to create something a bit more deconstructed, incognito and lacking form straightaway. The Traveling Triptych series includes 5 or more pictures or forms. The themes include the vagabond or nomad, the uncut, the unkept. Therefore, the one who thinks, lost in thought; pondering how things are.

Subsequently, we have a hand searching for sight, or perhaps defending sight from thought. All open to interpretation, surreal in nature. A quick tangent, check out more human elements, forms etc. via form study.  One of my favorite pieces individually and together, in the 3 part series. There are more, locked away in a sketchbook from the early 2000’s.

Crazy to think about it, more than 25 years ago, anyway. Lastly, more to come, more paintings in this style – surrealist style i.e. Dali, Parkes, and Elmore. And the like Traveling Triptych. please check back later. You can also view my latest sketches and artwork on my X for progression photos. Feel free to browse through other pieces, and the artwork category as well. Thank you!

Together

Together, We

Together

Connect, Be With One Another

Artwork – Together

More information will be necessary to fully understand this series around being “Together”. However, it is clear that this series serves as a celebration of family, whether they are blood relatives or individuals who hold a special place in your life, such as close friends.

The Symbolism

The series consists of two small pieces, white on black duotone acrylics, each measuring 5″ x 5″. As mentioned earlier “together” symbolizes the importance of family, whether biological or chosen. It is the love depicted in these paintings that truly brings them to life.
