ACRYLIC ON CANVAS????

Rebloging with my own previous tags above again because i forgot to mention some stuff

Genuinely some of the kindest compliments I've ever received on a piece of my art; I had to reblog so I could thank you!!!! Means more than I can say when people type up whole paragraphs abt something I created. I'm very happy it means something to you. Thought I'd answer your question in the meantime: this was done on a 12x24 canvas, if I recall correctly! So, decently sized, but not too huge (cannot imagine the hell that would be). I spent roughly 2 weeks nonstop working on this I'd say? Put some major crunch time in due to the exhibition it was for being way closer than initially anticipated lol. And I did have to custom color mix all my colors ^^;; definitely took a huge chunk of my time.... but not quite as much as me having to redo a lot of my line art that kept getting painted over haha. Fun fact for you! The blue background is actually just the initial wash i had planned to put over everything! I planned to go back over it fully, and thicken it, but winded up liking the wash look too much so I kept it. Thank you again for being so nice

does anyone have that unsettling oil painting of a dark window with a sheet leading out into the darkness? it did the rounds on tumblr a while ago and i need itttt

the new American Gothic. // artist unknown, feel free to tag and tell me who painted this.

This is by Mexican American artist Crieselda Vasquez. Her words on this painting is as follows.

“The two most important people in my life, my parents, are also the two who motivated me to develop such a strong concept. When my parents pose for these paintings, their faces are reduced to extremely raw and somehow vulnerable expressions. Sadly, they strive to be invisible every day. They don’t have to pretend to illustrate the invisible. They have dealt with constant rejection, suspicion and fear so long, that it seems now that it comes naturally to them. I strive to capture how their expressions deliver that sense of tiredness, resignation, and quiet acceptance. It seems relevant to show that underneath all the politicization and undeserved labeling this community receives, these are regular people just like all of us. In the long tradition of immigrants that come to the United States, they have made homes here and they are just trying to live a simple life with a bit of security and hopefulness for their children."

the thing is the king charles portrait is genuinely incredible and exactly how I would execute a portrait of a member of the british royal family but also I literally cannot fathom why the british royal family would have it made

like yeah if I were going to make a portrait of king charles I would absolutely have just his smugly smirking face leering out of a mass of red that could only be read as blood and gore, and have his military uniform fading ambiguously into the same background to lay bare the brutality of imperialism concealed by the pomp and ceremony of the british state, and make the entire thing sort of look like it was decaying to indicate the rot of the empire. like I really struggle to imagine a better visual metaphor for the nightmarish history of a dying empire than the king's spiffy military uniform and saber and sash and rows of epaulets being literally made out of a rotting field of blood and gore. but like why did he have it commissioned... why did he have it MADE and then say Looks great I'm putting it on the wall... HE EVEN LOOKS LIKE HE'S IN HELL

the portrait in question btw
