My Art Journey

 This time around, I'm following two of my classmates' tutorials.   The first one is by Daisy.  Check out their tutorial here:  https://daisyprizo.blogspot.com/2025/10/mixed-media-tutorial-digital-art-and.html This was a project interesting.  I've never used any photo editing before.  I got a trial version of ibisPaint X to do this.  The mobile app I found was difficult to navigate, so I got the Windows version.  The Widows version was much easier to use because all the tools were readily displayed on the screen.   The second tutorial I followed belonged to my classmate Kailan.  Follow their tutorial here:  https://kailanleia.blogspot.com/2025/10/what-ive-learned-so-far-with-digital-art.html This was a cool lesson on blending in the same app, ibisPaint X.  This was coincidental but nice for me because I had just spent time in the app on the previous project learning the ins and outs.  I decided to make something ...

  Hello again, everyone!  Today I'm posting an assignment from my Art Class which is  to make a tutorial for my classmates.  Feel free to follow along, this one is easy but fun! Alright peeps, this time around it's MY tutorial.  Now, considering I'm still a baby artist, I wanted to pick something that I was confident in teaching that I also felt people could do themselves no matter what level they are at.  It also needed to be fun.  My partner is an educator and I also worked in education for multiple years.  I remembered this idea from an art teacher that had come to my classroom.  She used markers instead of water color paint.  I felt like this was something adults could apply and have fun with.  So, whether you are a beginner, an intermediate, or and expert I think you can follow along and apply this in your own way.          First things first.  Gather your supplies.  You will need: 1 piece of ...

 Okay, so this assignment is from my Art Class.  The assignment is to draw an image, transfer the image to a stamp, shave out sections of the stamp, cut the stamp out, and then use the stamp.  After using the stamp, take a picture of the product and upload it into a photoshop like program - I actually used Photoshop itself since it's free at the library at my school - and make something out of it.  My teacher made an AI generated image with their stamp which I thought was fun.  I tried making my own composition and also generated an AI image.  If you want to see how my Professor did this, check out this link to their blog!  https://candacenicolgarlock.com/blog/http/wwwcandacegarlockcom-5  So, first step!  Draw your stamp.  Seems so EASY right?  NO.  I sat for a long time trying to decide what would make a good stamp.  I love Pokemon, I could do my favorite Pokemon Dragapult.  Nah, I wanted to make my own thing.  ...

 Yes, yes...  I know.  *sigh*   Another Vincent van Gogh related thing.  WELL!  Let me tell you about not his paintings, but his drawings!  Did you know he did drawings?  It makes sense right?  A painter would for sure draw.  For some reason I did not put two and two together myself.  So, I've done some research regarding his drawings.  There is some relation to his paintings in here, because when you see the two next to each other you can't help but compare. Look at this drawing,   "Avenue of Poplars" ,  for example.  Here we see a drawing that is very much like a photo.  It is still, silent, realistic.  One thing that stands out to me is there is nothing in the sky.  How can a man who makes every single painting he touches move and come to life draw something so stark?  It's really remarkable to me how significantly different his drawings were to his paintings. Let's compare that drawin...
