My friend and I went to the beach and I was taking pictures of Jellyfish. They are so beautiful.

An interesting fact about Jellyfish:
Jellyfish have existed for more than 650 million years and happen to be the oldest living creatures on the planet. They have existed before the dinosaurs and have survived longer than the dinosaurs.

American Guy

16" x 24" Oil and Spray Paint



I was actually freakin' out a little bit at the start of the painting
but I grew to love it.


Haven't painted a guy in a while.
I do enjoy painting guys but I just don't get a lot of inspiration. My favourite part of this painting is the jacket. It came out better than I expected. I like the impressionist look it has.
I came up with the name American Guy because of the blue, white and red spray paint I used
(without realizing it)

Helllooooo emi.l.k.c

People have been commenting on the fact they wish that
they could paint. Here is a little start! I scanned in my sketch and all you have to do is paint it and make it your own. Fun!
Hopefully this may also inspire you to create one of your own artwork.
Enjoy!

You will need:
1 Card stock paper
1 Watercolour paint set
1 Thin paint brush
1 Thick paint brush
1 Container full of water
1 Paint Palette
1 Black ink pen
1 White colour pencil
1 Intuition (paint how you feel)


Tips: Have the image in front of you as a reference and have a spare piece of scrap paper to test thickness of paint before applying it to artwork

Image Reference

Template (click to enlarge)
1.Print template on the Card Stock

2. Paint from light to dark. Start with a faint wash.

3. Go into darker tones.

4. Paint hair and lips.

5.Apply a light black wash to the outfit. And then apply darker wash
until you get the colour you want.

6. Use white colour pencil to make the designs on the outfit

7. Have fun with the background!

8. Once it's completely dry, go over the pencil lines with the black ink pen.
Important note: look at the reference every step of the way!

I hope that was a bit helpful and I hope you guys try it. Maybe when you are bored you can try it out. I'd loooove to see your work, if you get around doing it please send me a picture, I'll post in on the blog.
