Water and Oil

As mentioned before, I made two paintings before my departure from INTI during the second semester break. So, here they are:

"Lost"

 

 

Medium: Water-soluble oil paint on Canvas

 I'm not sure on how well I can define the reason for that suggestive title. I guess for one note you can't really expect a hot air balloon in the cold arctic, right? But wouldn't it be beautiful for it to actually happen where you might the one riding the balloon? haha so here is the combination of my two favorite things in one painting. (Which I copied from pictures BTW :p)

"Love Yourself"

Medium: Watercolor on Watercolor Pad

A friend became an inspiration for this after a lengthy conversation. He suggested that I should improve myself in painting by not copying from pictures thus only expressing my emotions artistically(?) on the paper/canvas. And it didn't take me that long to finish, considering that I used watercolor instead of oil paint and paper instead of canvas. I sorta attempted to mimic the Japanese Art Style but yeah I guess I'm still uneducated on the actual way of painting in that style.  Haha I find it amusing how the petals almost look like sea-shells instead of the petals I aimed for. The title is very significant, because it's pretty much dedicated to the cute humor that friend had on me. I copied the kanji-ish text from my old wallet which had random Japanese, Korean or Chinese letters (I'm not really sure whether it's called Kanji..) as the overall design. Why that text in particular? well, I was tricked to believe that that sentence actually had meaning while the rest was Gibberish. That person said it meant "Love Yourself". But due to my gullibility, I actually believed him. So here's a dedication for you Mr. NA-Z.

THEEEND.
