Hi everyone!
Today I'm doing my first entry for the YouTube Artists Collective.
It's an unofficial entry, since I'm not actually part of the collective.
But it's a community of YouTube artists and they all make art based on the same theme
every three months and fans get to vote on the theme on their Facebook page.
And this month's theme is Cards of all fortunes, fables and fates.
It was Tarot cards at first, but they changed it for religious and cultural reasons.
However, I've had Tarot card design on my list of art ideas for a long time so I chose
to do a Tarot card.
I don't have Tarot cards myself, but my grandmother owns a pack so I was looking through them
at Christmas and narrowing them down to a few I found the most interesting.
Then I researched the meanings of the cards online and chose the sun card.
In retrospect I could've also chosen the death card and painted a sugar skull girl, because
I have one sketched out and not painted yet and it would fit the theme.
But I'll paint that one later.
So, when I chose the sun, I wanted the card to have bright colors for positive energy
and joy and a circle shape in the background to represent the sun.
I used an idea from my sketchbook.
I was watching some video by ASMR Darling a while ago and she was wearing an off-the-shoulder
top and I made a quick sketch where the neckline of the top continued as a circle shape behind
her.
When I was sketching for this painting, I noticed it doesn't work that well.
If I'd keep the off-the-shoulder neckline, the sun would have to be a lot bigger and
I'd need to use a bigger canvas or make the figure smaller and small portraits are difficult
for me to paint in acrylics.
So, I ended up making the neckline a bit more narrow to make the circle idea work.
I'll talk about the painting process a bit.
I sketched her onto grid paper with the grid method to get the proportions right and drew
a little color comp in my sketchbook, which I didn't end up using completely, because
I needed a bigger contrast between the sun and the background color.
I transferred the sketch onto canvas with graphite transfer paper.
I used a plate and tin box as guides to get symmetric circles.
And I sealed the graphite sketch with matte medium to prevent it from smudging the acrylic
paint.
I had a different reference for the face and other inspiration for the colors.
I was planning to make her Indian looking, but then this off-the-shoulder top turned
into a Mexican poncho in the end, so I'm not sure of her nationality anymore.
By the way, this is how I try to use references and ideas from other artists.
If you saw any of the reference photos I used, you probably couldn't see much connection
between any particular reference photo and this painting.
I've been thinking of making a video on where I find references for art so if you don't
want to miss that and my other art tips, subscribe to my channel.
I was trying to paint with the easel for a while but I found it easier to get straight
lines when I had the painting flat on the table.
I used Ikea paints for the sun and the background.
They weren't that opaque but I liked the color of the fuchsia paint so for the second layer
I mixed it together with a different, more opaque, but a little lighter fuchsia paint
I have, the brand is Plus Color and I got those from a craft store.
Those together were a lot more opaque and the color was nearly the same.
I sometimes get asked where the small table easel is from.
It's from Lidl.
I don't remember how much it cost, I've had it for many years.
But it's Lidl, so I assume it was cheap.
For the skin tone, I mixed red, yellow, browns and white and added blue for the shadows.
The acrylic paints I use are hobby quality paints and most of them don't state which
pigments they use so I can't be more specific than that.
Acrylic paints dry fast so I can't blend the darker and lighter skin tones together and
instead I paint in layers and use water to blend them outwards.
I don't usually paint open mouths so the teeth were kind of tricky.
We had a little Tarot reading at my grandmother's last weekend just for fun.
We would just choose one card from the pack and turn it around and read the meaning from
the instructions.
The card I got was 4 of Wands.
I don't remember the meaning exactly and now that I'm trying to find it online, these explanations
seem quite different from what I read in that book.
What I got from it was that it means that you're doing what you love, you're happy in
this moment, but it might also mean new beginnings like a new hobby.
The way I interpret that is that I'm happy with the path I'm on right now.
I used to have a bit of an inner contradiction with what I was studying and what I actually
wanted to do.
But what I'm doing with art and my YouTube channel fits together better with the field
I'm studying now and they kind of feed off of each other, even though it's not art that
I'm studying.
But I like this mix of art, video making, business, graphic design, web design and IT.
Getting back to the painting.
When you make mistakes, you can lift the paint with a clean, wet brush or piece of paper
while the paint is still wet.
But I noticed a strange thing with the Ikea paints.
I think it said somewhere in the package or in the store that they're acrylic paints,
but you can just wipe them off with water even when they're dry.
So I had to keep adding yellow paint to the sun, when I tried to make the lines of the
red paint sharper.
So, if the Ikea paints are gouache paints instead of acrylics, I'm just wondering if
I can varnish this painting normally or will the varnish reactivate the paint?
Maybe I need to go over the yellow part in acrylic to make sure I can varnish the painting.
I'm going to gather up all the YouTube Artists Collective entries of this theme into a playlist
and link it in the description, if you want to check them out.
And if you entered this theme yourself and made a YouTube video of it, you can link your
video in the comments and I'll add your entry to the playlist, too.
The metallic details of the painting are Mont Marte bronze metallic paint.
And I gave the girl a white outer glow towards the end so she would stand out from the background
a bit more and it also made it easier cut her out of the background for prints in GIMP
after taking a photo of the painting.
Finally you can see a quick mockup I made of how to tarot card would look.
And this painting is available in my Redbubble shop as art prints and merch.
Thank you so much for watching and if you're new, subscribe to my channel for more speed
