Fast Art

If someone had ask me, before going to art school, if I could produce good artwork under pressure, I would have gently responded that maybe it was time to find new hobbies, other than pestering me with inconvenient existential musings

However, at least two of my most successful  (in my opinion) artworks came to be in that way. In reality, I absolutely hated the process. I believe – with good reason- that waves of anxiety destroys my special kind of creativity.

Apparently, this time, I was proven wrong. However, something had to give though.

Textile Design

Good Ole Graphite

In the piece above, I didn’t scrimp on detail and composition. Although I meant to use only watercolor and gouache for this piece – and in hindsight, I guess it could have been a quick and simple process – I decided for the sake of flexibility to overlay a watercolor wash texture over graphite and finish everything digitally.

Digitizing Hand-Painted Art Does The Trick!

In this way, I’m discovering a simplified method to create artwork that solve a specific problem related to time constraints. I guess in a real pinch, this way to create artwork for a client can work for me as well. I even had time to play with visualizing in what other contexts this artwork could work ... :

Stationery - Greeting Cards

Ceramic Mug Surface Design

Bedroom Watercolor Wallpaper Mural

...outside of being a print or being turned into a traditional piece such as this Taino-Inspired Watercolor Wall Art

Public Announcement: This blog post is part of a collection of 354+ posts from my original Wordpress blog "Dreaming Into Being"  library. I've now retired and migrated it to “Wander & Paint,” my new blog posts at the United Wanderlust art shop.  As time allows, I will be reviewing, editing, condensing, updating and releasing a number of these blog posts but not all of them.

 Some posts require more precision surgery than others. I'll also probably be publishing new posts as the muse wills it and father time allows. This whole process may take a while but I think these blog post serve as great documentation of my process and reminds me of certain milestones. So, most of them will be made available again- at some point.
