dutch's art thread :)

[dutch]

geez, corny title much.

Anyways, I've been painting here and there. Especially the last 3 days when I'm on a watercolor/Ellie Goulding trip (much like an acid trip, but more fanboy-like) and...yeah. Here they are:

Lovely use of colour, Dutch! I am envious of your use of watercolours- they are very hard to use, as you can't control the flow easily. Nice work!

[dutch]

Thank you :) I was previously known (and criticized) for using watercolors the same way as other, less watery media and not making use of its flow. I'm just learning too I guess.

[missroxor]

I'm not very familiar with Ellie Goulding though I have seen her pic a couple of times but regardless, I love your work! Do you work in an artistic job? If not, you should ;)

[dutch]

Thank you. I've sold one or two things and done commissions but not as a working artist. But i hope i'll eventually get there, because it's how i'll be making a living. :)

[VioletxStorm]

*squeels* I love them. Very pretty!! What kind of paint do you use? Water? I'm guessing oil, right? :)

EDIT

Ignore my question, I am very inatentive! I just noticed you said watercolour, so nevermind! Silly me. :D

[dutch]

Thank you. :)

(And I have never actually tried oil before in my life. Will do that when I have enough money to get all the different colors and turpentine and related mediums)

Another Ellie Goulding painting I just did, based on the music video of her song 'The Writer'

[eternalsnow0805]

Haha I was wondering around MTS and I stumbled upon your thread and I'm glad I did. I love your use of watercolors and how realistic they look :). I'm not an a fancy schmancy art critic but your art is amazing x).

[dutch]

Thank you. :) I'd be slaughtered if you were a fancy schmancy art critic haha

[Segagrey]

I wouldn't go as far as too say that :p these look great! and I especially love your choice of subject matter (I love Ellie Goulding, Under the Sheets *.*) The vibrance you pull out is remarkable! I use watercolour too, and I've always been taught to go against the grain; so I say you're in good keeping. :]

[harryishere]

I love how brave you are with your colours, makes the pictures look fantastic!

[dutch]

Thank you. :)

I am currently creating a 12-page picture book about Ellie Goulding's life up till now (my own re-imagination, and contains deeper meanings than simply a biography of course) as part of a university project. Will get it done by next Tuesday and will definitely show (off to) you guys. ;)

[dutch]

A cover I did with watercolors and black pen for my friend's first single (she's starting out as a singer) :)

Lovely use of watercolour.. its like i'm in the picture/scene. It's so moving like <3
The lineart is gorgeous.. everything's so nice and detailed.
I am going to stalk your dA for sure ;)

[Deruptus]

The way you've managed to use water colours is awesome, i've had little next to no luck with water colours, I don't like how easy they are to mess around with :P and so I think these are amazing!

[dutch]

Thanks guys. :)
Also, was gonna post these a while ago but always forgot. First one in pencil, the other two are acrylic paintings, all on the theme of identity - self and society.

[livie1204]

Your amazing! Really great :) Iv'e also started painting like on computer paper not very extreme! I need to get professional paint and paper and all that jazz. Anways, I love the use of the water colors. The first painting is my favorite because it shows alot of emotion and details in the face. That just shows how much Talent you have. Keep up the GREAT work. You've got talent! ^^ :) :gjob:

Wow these are truly a work of art. Better than anything I've seen in a long while. You're are sooo talented. It sucks that I can't draw like I used to, or I'd show you my sucky drawings.

[madeforcontrol]

Beautiful. If I could figure out how to get drawings from my sketchpad to the computer I'd post some of my stuff as well (: I like to mess with watercolor too, but it doesn't turn out nearly as well as yours do. :p

[dutch]

Thanks guys. :)

If you were a sim, your painting skill level would be 10.

[5M0K3]

I started listening to Ellie Goulding after I downloaded all your beautiful art for the Sims 3. :)

So you're making a comic, eh? It looks pretty awesome from the pictures you've posted here.

I love the very last picture in your newest post. I know it's from Drive the movie, but it somehow reminds me of Some Kind of Wonderful (http://www.leavemethewhite.com/caps/albums/movies/skow/Some_Kind_of_Wonderful_545.jpg). Yeah, I'm a shameless 80s movie fan - what you gonna do about it? :P

Anyway, you're talented is what I was trying to say in as many words as possible - apparently. :|

[dutch]

Thanks Giga. There's nothing shameless about being an 80s movie fan, 80s movies are awesome and I'm into retro too. :)
