Making of an acrylic painting: I'll just disappear, allright?
This time I will show you the process of painting an acrylic picture – inspired by @dcrockete second weekly contest.
And yes, it all starts with a sketch.
This sketch is made with a light grey watercolour pencil, so I can remove it with water. I roughly drew the background, the architecture, and the main figure. The next step was to mark some of the shadows and highlights (still with the watercolour pencil).
Now I start with the acrylic paint. I only need three colours: white, black and a little bit of cobalt blue. The blue is necessary to make a cold grey; mixing only black and white results in a brownish grey. Firstly, I painted the sky, followed by the hills. I already made a lighter area on the hills, where later houses will be filled in.
Step three is painting the architecture. To get two very straight lines I masked the lower end of the image and the dark part of the wall with tape. The other lines I painted by hand, because I think to many sharp lines make the picture sterile and dead.
After drying the paint with a blow dryer, I started on the main figure. I began with the legs and arms…
And finished with the clothes. The last details are some colour highlights. For the hair, I used a light blue, for the shoulders a light pink and dark green for the skirt. All colours are muted with white and black.
Finishing Touches are painting the town in the background and drawing a thin white glaze over the mountains.
Once again thanks to @dcrockete !! I had so much fun 😊

Huhuhu and a big hug... I am not totally sure what you did (ahhh help please, i think I understand nothing at steemit) but: THAAAANK YOUUUU
hahaha I think we both should thank @ausbitbank. Check out @discordia, it is a cool voting robot with cool people behind it. Thnks a lot for the visit :-)
I'm quite new in steemit, I think there are a lot of ways to understand it, though the money issue seems to be more of a continuity reward than a magic trick.
Check out the @minnowsupport project. It's a great community building project. Lots of cool people there.
There is @randowhale and other voting bots that are worth knowing about also, but you will find lots of divided opinions down that road...
And the guys at @whaleshares community, insanely informative.
Either way, you really do wonderful work, let's find the way to expose it to the right people in the shortest window of time. I think that's the strategy at the beginning, continuity will do the rest ;-)
ok... have to read more.. much more.. much much more :-D
I followed the above and read some of the post, but so long I am not totally sure how voting bots function (and if its moraly ok) But hopefully i will get it someday :-)
By the way, your music (the post about the instrumentalization of musicians in venezuela) is really great!!! (Your writing too, also informative, but I do not know enough to write a coherent reply... sadly)
