I had a small studio space at my home , 3 full sketch books and curiosity to do mixed media art with watercolours .
So I have started painting small size figure works (8 x 10 inches) combining watercolours, gouache and ink. I did not have anything specific in mind and wanted to go with a flow of a creative process. This was my first painting:
I always was drawn to make mixed media paintings. This time I wanted to get to the result of combining fluidity of watercolours and dry opaque paint of gouache. To make my works more expressive I used techniques of dry brush, wet-on-wet, dripping and stamping . I chose not to add facial features to keep figures more abstract and with the touch of mystery.
For me art is a way of expressing thoughts and emotions. In this series my main goal is to show love and connection between two people trying to visualize a happy relationship.
Buying painting as a gift
The first painting that has been purchased from this series was bought as a wedding gift. Since then I paint a lot of custom weddings paintings using photo references or my sketches with option of modifying dress style, skin colour, hair cuts of a couple. Most of my customers buy my paintings as gifts for weddings, engagements, wedding anniversaries, or just as a gift representing a non romantic friendship.
