What do I do with my day off from classes? Paint my notebooks!

I hardly ever “re-do” a finished painting, but this Beauty had something that bothered me too much over time. 🎨🎨🎨 So I re-tweaked her hair (the face I love, so I didn’t touch a thing there). 🎨🎨🎨 Much better now and it will be off soon to shine bright in the Lendnine gallery in Graz, Austria! http://ift.tt/2oL7lsl

a series of composition tips i’d been sharing on twitter!

and since some people had asked, i’ve put up a pdf version of this on gumroad along with a layered psd of one of the example images too

tips would be really appreciated, but it’s up for free!

When Monique-pop meets realism. 🎨🎨🎨 I actually started to paint this work last summer, but put it way because somehow it didn’t satisfy my technical standards. Now, after having learned with @jafetblanch and @barcelona_art_experience at the @museumeam I was able to dot the flaking points! 🎨🎨🎨 Hope you like it too?! http://ift.tt/2pkc6bA

a comic coloring style test. It looks ok if you squint. I am so lazy about coloring in lines

To stay with the dreamy Beauties of early 2015! I really liked these ethereal faces which seem to have the ability to take me on a journey into space. (Red space in this case) And these are very reasonable priced, medium sized paintings that could fit in any regular house, 1 meter high and 60cm wide (is a meter approx 30"? … I always mix those sizes up). That’s why it puzzles me that these paintings are still in the Austrian Gallery Lendnine in Graz. Perhaps I should make mega-sizes of these, so they REALLY stand out on big walls??? http://ift.tt/2oajSFe

The beginning of “Hesitation”, last year summer, I love painting in just a tank-top, having a jug of iced herbtea right next to me and the best ice scream shop of Barcelona on a 3 minute stroll from my studio! http://ift.tt/2ny4UFO

Yeayyy! Prints now available in my http://ift.tt/2os2Mj4 🎨🎨🎨 I am so exited to be able to offer my fans the opportunity to get some of my art in prints!!! Visit my shop and get your fav copy fast, as they are limited to only 25. Each of these is hand numbered, titled and signed by me. Once sold out I will not print more of these 30x30cm copies! http://ift.tt/2okSd3V

Staying with the WIP of the last posts: In some ways, painting a big format is easier than a medium size… This is because there is so much more margen for errors: If you dot paint in a small or medium work and it’s ½ or 1 cm (0,39") off, you will have to cover it/wipe it off and do it again, Yet when it’s only 1 cm off on a 2,60 cm wide work, nobody will notice!!! 🎨🎨🎨 And so goes for this mouth, it’s probably about 85cm wide (our real mouth is approx 3cm). This gave me a lot of playground to style-lise it a lot! Personally I enjoy seeing here how my perception accepts the green color as part of the red lips and how my mind isn’t bothered by the continuous dark shadow that depicts both lip and deep “empty” mouth-space without tone changing! Perhaps I am a bit weird, but I think that is just so exiting! 😁😁😁 http://ift.tt/2nzEiHU

O.M.G. … is THIS my idea of keeping it in grey-scales??? I am so silly!!! *hooked on colors* 🎨🎨🎨 #insta_art #instarte #artoninstagram #artnerd #newcontemporaryart #neopopart #artefigurativo #figurativeart #notblackandwhite #sillyme #lettering #letterpainting #portraitart #beauty #acrylicpainting #artdeadline #jocreo #igbcn #igersbarcelona #artsanfrancisco #artmiami #artberlin #artlondon #artamsterdam #artmadrid #artrome #artnyc #urbanart http://ift.tt/2jzYxhH

This painting is going to have a lot of outlines to explain the forms. I started with the darkest values, to define the range of tone-values visually for myself. 🎨🎨🎨 I try never to use black in my mixes, for I feel that kill the vibration of the colors (scientifically it’s proven that colors are not much more than wavelengths -much like radio sonic waves- that reach our eyes and that our brains translate them into what we “see” as colors) and weakens the artwork as a whole. 🎨🎨🎨 These dark colors I am using here is bright red mixed with a marine blue adding a tiny bit of fluorescent orange to vibe along with them. http://ift.tt/2oCIxj4

summer gals 🍊

A little rushed, I’m afraid - it’s been a hectic week but I wanted to get them done in time for #AceDay!

Hope you’re all having a good one, my fellow aces and our supporters!

I FINALLY FINISHED MY HANDS

NOW I CAN HAVE A PRETTY SIDEBAR IMAGE AGAIN

Winter Landscape with Violet Lights, János Tornyai (1869-1936)

Landscape, Edvard Munch (1905)

Me and the other 4 Dutch painters holding our group-artwork “Kunst” (=art in Dutch). To emphasize us being a group we decided to create an artwork all together. So each one of us got a letter of the word that binds us and painted it in our own style on a 50x50cm canvas. This artwork got auctioned off on the evening of the exhibition and we got a few very exited bidders! Perhaps also because they knew that a part of the €€ is going to go to the #johancruyfffoundation , which is a good cause founded by the late Soccerplayer Johan Cruyff (who was also a Dutchy deeply integrated into the Barcelona lifestyle, just like us). This foundation is helping disadvantaged kids getting a fair chance in playing sports. 🍀🍀🍀 This makes it clear why we look so happy on this photo, right?!! http://ift.tt/2nAy4qx
