Painting warmup for #pleinairpril on the warriorpainters Discord

#art #heavypaint #nopleinnogain #visdev #dailysketch #artchallenge #commissionsopen

A digital painting of a small, abandoned blue van in a desolate urban setting. A yellow sign with Korean text and "CCTV" written in red hangs from a striped utility pole nearby. A green clothing donation box stands next to the van. The environment is distorted with painterly, swirling brushstrokes in shades of purple, blue, and green, giving the scene a surreal, dreamlike quality. Sunlight casts long shadows on the ground, emphasizing the textures in the painting.

My friend gifted me these cute little Italian aperitif bottles. Lovely colors, had to give them a special photo shoot and draw them!

#daily #heavypaint #pleinairpril #nopleinnogain

A digital painting depicts two Italian aperitif bottles, one red and one yellow, standing on a sunlit tiled floor near a metal railing. The sunlight casts strong, colorful shadows and reflections of the bottles on the tiles. The background features a blurred outdoor scene with green foliage and a blue sky, partially obscured by the railing. The painting has a semi-stylized approach with bold colors, sharp highlights, and expressive brushstrokes.

My friend suggested we do a sip&paint. So I started learning acrylics.

A digital painting of a mysterious young woman with long, dark hair that flows past her shoulders, illuminated by soft, colorful lighting. Her deep violet eyes glow subtly, and she has delicate facial features with a confident yet enigmatic expression. She wears a dark, off-shoulder outfit, revealing a celestial tattoo on her upper arm. A blue rose and silver metallic accessories adorn her hair. A glowing moth with orange and pink hues flutters beside her, casting warm light on her face.
