MAY CONTEST: ISOLATION

[JoshuaDages]

@JudeKillory I really like you style! Is this done in acrylic?

[JudeKillory]

@Joshua-Dages Thank You Joshua! It was done with gouache. Might be my favorite medium. It lives between watercolor and acrylic in a beautiful matte and opaque area. Dries fast and plays well with other mediums. Mary Blair did a lot of work in gouache.

@mikorad thanks! it's actually a set I photographed. It's entirely paper, painted with gouache and drawn on with marker (and added the text digitally)

@ArtofAleksey thank you, yours is beautifully rendered and super funny

[Rachel Horne]

@Corlaart gorgeous!

[TessaW]

@JudeKillory Yay!

[Dana Eastes]

@Dana-Eastes I was really feeling it when I started this. I was thinking of my dad in his isolation, family can stand outside but no contact. He's not a hugger, but I can tell he really wants a hug from us.

@James-Toogood Wow, I really love this. The idea of using the reflection like that is terrific!

[Rachel Horne]

@James-Toogood this is really lovely

[JoshLewisArt]

Here is my entry for the contest. As you can tell I am not a big fan of this extended isolation, but the SVS classes have been a great outlet!

[JoshLewisArt]

@TheTarheelYankee I really struggled getting the file size down and now it’s super blurry and loses a ton of detail. Do you guys usually start with a smaller canvas size for these contests?

[sarahlash]

@TheTarheelYankee Doesn't look blurry to me!

[Heather Boyd]

@JudeKillory my isolation work is similar and in gouache too almost done. I like gouache a lot as well. You can be a traditional gouache buddy. lols

[Heather Boyd]

@James-Toogood oh it is really lovely -keep on sharing. I think you've got something good in style (even if it's just starting out) and story telling.

[Heather Boyd]

@JoshSchouwstra that's really good and happily unexpected. Right on. This contest is bringing out such wonderful ideas!!!

[JudeKillory]

@Heather-Boyd Yes! I just came into ownership of a bunch of acrylic through a friend of a friend and might have to cheat on gouache for a little bit.
