My ArtVenture: Acrylic painting „Arrival home“

avatar

Hello my dear Steemians and Art Fans,

As I mentioned before I have stopped my seascape recently that is why it is the time to come back to my roots and exercise a bit my palette knife, I love palette knife but it is a bit tricky to work on acrylic paper so the next step it will be canvas that I was thinking to try.

„Arrival home“ by @stef1

 

When I do painting of old wooden sailing ships I always think how much love and efforts the people who built up those ships put into their works. Every single one is a creative piece. I remember while reading about such people I saw that those simple people left their names or their signs, logo a trademarks on some of the wood carved just to make their work eternal. Luckily due to beauty and good quality people love these unique works and we try restore them when it is possible.

To created this work I created futuristic background just to make it more colorful just because I bought new cadmium yellow and red and while combining them with blue it made such nice mix. Of course my main topic is the sailing ship and reflection hope you like this work.

Very cool boat, Stefi!

So, have you joined the fight already? We need to take Steem back from the Tron scammers.

Hi @trincowski, I am for peace and not for war :) I see what is happening around and in my opinion much that is going on now is due to the way how Steemit Inc was sold behind the curtains without a proper preparation of the Steem community. I can understand both parties very well and I do not envy both sides, I believe we will lose much if people stay stubborn and do not do compromises. Diplomatic approach is very important we see such situation in Uk with its Brexit and that is enough for me.

Sure but this was a bit too much. Using the customers money to take over a network? These exchanges really messed up big time.

Very nice piece, always like the effects you can create with a palette knife. I didn't know it would work with acrylic on paper thought they were more for oils on canvas.

Hi Ian thank you for this nice comment. I tried both canvas and acrylic paper, of course canvas is great and you can easily have control of your paints that lays so nicely, but it is an expensive way when you want to do daily exercises. I find acrylic paper is pretty good, especially for palette knife but it behaves differently so after couple of unsuccessful experiment now I know how I should use it. Just really the matter of learning by doing :)

That is a pretty painting @stef1, it looks like a ship with a Falls background too. :D
