Talk dirty to me

I know this is terrible....

But I had to....

I’ll just leave now XD

Hey guys! So this is something new that I’ve wanted to do for awhile now. I’m planning on pursuing a career in Creative Art Therapy in the future, and I wanted to think of different ways I could reach out to a broader population using Art Therapy. So I’ve decided to do a few different things and put them in a series called “PaintingTherapy.”

This includes the pictures above, which I like to think of as “relaxing paintings.” I understand that not everyone has the time to draw or paint when they’re stressed, but I still feel art can reach out to you. So, I created paintings that I think have relaxing imagery, colors, and sayings that could hopefully help de-stress someone when they need it. 

Along with these paintings, I’m planning on releasing things like coloring books. I may also make some relaxing painting videos and set them up on my YouTube channel (remember when that was a thing XD). 

Anyways, if you want to look into the paintings more yourself, here’s a link to the Etsy listing: https://www.etsy.com/listing/538432430/paintingtherapy-relaxing-watercolor?ref=listing_published_alert

I plan on releasing more of these paintings to that listing in the future, so even if you don’t see one that really captures your interest now, keep coming back, because there may be something you do like in the future!

Hi guys! So I thought it would be cool (and pretty nerdy) if I created an alien head-themed necklace (kinda like my profile picture 0_0)!

This is 3D printed like most of the other stuff I’ve got on my shop, and it’s hand painted using acrylic paints. It uses a double sliding knot to easily get it on and off. 

If you’re interested in seeing it for yourself, you can check it out on both my Etsy and eBay shops!

Inktober Day 8: “Star”

This is actually giving me a lot of opportunities to get better at drawing hands, which is really nice!

Planet - Textured Abstract Painting

This textured abstract painting involves experimenting with techniques to create peaks and texture using materials compatible with acrylic paint. Many artists out there, including myself, may desire at one point or another to add a layer of three dimensionality to their paintings. This can be done with oil paints, however the vapors and fumes that they tend to produce and the excessive drying time might prove difficult to work with. To combat this, I used a palette knife to play with a matte gel and acrylic paint, producing large peaks and textures without the smell, and I love the results. The texture is very rough, built upon with layer after layer of matte and paint to create an interesting kind of art, pushing the boundaries between two and three dimensionality. The painting itself is a wrapped canvas measuring 11x14, with an extra 1/2 depth in the back.

Hey! I know it’s been awhile, but I’ve released a new painting for sale on Etsy! It’s an abstract painting that uses a new painting technique I’ve been playing around with: using matte and acrylic paint to create a 3D, textured effect similar to that of oil paint.

PaintingTherapy #1- Relaxing Watercolor Painting

Hey everyone! So this video is part of a larger series called "PaintingTherapy." I'm studying to become a Creative Art Therapist, and I've been debating diff...

Hey guys! So I’m adding to the PaintingTherapy series I’ve started on my Etsy shop. Since I want Art Therapy to be as accessible as possible, I’m starting to make “PaintingTherapy” videos on my YouTube channel. I know that not everyone has the time to sit down and paint or draw, so I figured I’d try and provide the media to you guys in a relaxing way. 

On YouTube, I’ll post videos with a wide range of different painting techniques that I have found to be relaxing to watch. Some will be watercolor, some acrylic, and others ink.

For now, here’s the first one. I plan on creating more of these as time goes on, though, so check back for new videos! You can follow the link above to find the video. 

If you want to check out the PaintingTherapy series I’ve started on Etsy, you can find all the paintings I’ve done so far here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/538432430/paintingtherapy-relaxing-watercolor?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=paintingtherapy&ref=sr_gallery_1
