This is my first mixed media painting (if I may call it that). I used PVA adhesive, crushed dried flower petals and acrylics. It's the second biggest painting I did so far (30×100cm). It was painted on Saturday December 28th 2013 and is therefore the last one I painted that year.
I did most of this sketch while talking on the phone. I hate talking on the phone and this was really the only thing to keep me occupied.
I hope I will get some paintings and sketches done by the end of the month. I painted on December 28th, but still didn't take -what I call- "the good photo" of the painting. Hopefully I will soon.
Happy new year, ciao.
I painted this on October 6th, I remember nothing about this day, except that it was awful. I'd like to keep the painting untitled, I guess it's better this way, I hate naming things anyway, it's too big of a responsibility for me.
This 50×70cm acrylic on canvas painting is now hanging in my friend's room.
This painting belongs to the same collection my "Golden Ivory" belongs to. I still didn't come up with a good name for the collection. The name is the last thing that concerns me this time, though. I believe naming things is a great responsibility and I find it pretty hard to name anything, specially paintings. What concerns me more about this collection though is its becoming an actual collection! I don't want to end up with only these two paintings, just because I don't have enough time or because I never actually finish what I start doing.
When I paint I sort of let everything go and feel much better when I'm done. But this wasn't the case this time. Maybe because I didn't spend so much time painting it, it's only 20×30cm big anyway and took me just a couple hours. I would've loved to go bigger, but the painting's for a friend and she asked for this certain size.
Just a few months ago I used to apply only thick paint. Water never ended up on one of my paintings, which was pretty stupid. Now because of all the water I use, it takes more than 12 hours for the painting to dry out! 12 hours! That sounds like forever.

P.S. Acrylic spray paint tastes awful, trust me, I accidentally tried it while preparing the background.
I painted the first sketch on the 10th of July and I coincidentally painted the second on the 10th of the following month; August. I thought it'd be cool if I painted one on the 10th of each month and since today's the 10th of September, it was time for a new sketch!
The first one was painted in Duke of York Square by the Saatchi in London. It was the first time I ever painted on the street.
The second sketch is of three telephone booths I saw in Trafalger Square in front of the Charing Cross Underground station.
And the third is of an area I spotted in Piccadely Circus using a view finder.
