Hi Hiveians! I'm Jade, a teen artist from Germany.
By now, if you watch the news, you have probably heard about the hurricanes that have been hitting the south east area of America like Milton. But very little people in the English speaking world have been talking about the hurricanes that are also hitting Mexico (where I live) at the same time.
Not even a year ago, a cat 5 hurricane hit my family and I with 200mph or 330kph winds. Which.. taught us some things about survival. 😆 The one we just got (hurricane John) wasn't as bad, at 120mph winds, but we still lost power, water and gas.. which explains why I didn't post last week.. But I didn't lose my paintbrush!
I started working on a painting on a larger than usual canvas, I don't know what to call it yet, but I'm kinda going for a collage/random surreal approach to it. So far, the mediums are acrylics, ballpoint pen, sharpie and I used a glitter marker so I can be more diverse and experimental with this piece. Perhaps I'll make an NFT out of it in the future..
Although, what are the odds? When in history have we had so many hurricanes and natural disasters occur all at the same time in different places?
Here are a couple things I've been up to and things I made during "John" time. ;)
Thankfully, there was still a bit of residual water in the faucet I could use so I didn't have to use the precious drinking water for my painting.
If you are wondering why there is a knife on my workspace, sometimes the cap of the paint bottles get stuck on, so the knife helps to sort of pry them open... 🤣
I always like adding a couple paint splats to my painting, it gives it an extra taste of randomness, it's also pretty fun! They let the universe steer where the piece will go.
Even though sometimes I can't make posts due to internet issues, with any disaster, you will still find me at my easel, or in my sketchbook.
Did you forget about #inktober? Of course I had to add a splash of inks into this post! 😁 Big thanks to @maxwellmarcusart for inspiring me with his incredible ink art! He has inspired me for a couple years now to work more with inks.
What do you think about my painting so far? Should I make it more WONKY? ;) I'd love to hear your feedback! Thank you for reading my post, I hope you enjoyed it and enjoy the rest of your day!
Also, the best way to support me is by visiting my art galleries on NFTShowroom and OpenSea, with the paintings that I also put my whole heart into! ❤️
There is one day left for the one and only edition!
