Trunk Posted March 1, 2014 my other art is on http://www.facebook.com/sinansencerart Good work! My fav from your fb photos Would you describe your internal process in making a painting? ...

skydog Posted March 1, 2014 Good work! My fav from your fb photos Would you describe your internal process in making a painting? ... I think that people often have difficulty clearly connecting their internal art with their external art. Thank you very much my internal process is like I get or feel a vision, like which animal or symbol to connect to, depending on my current intention or intuition or what "spirits" say...lol, I usually start very accurate but I cant help it I become messy, but am working on it.. That bear painting was because I was going to mexico from england, and it was a one way trip pretty much based on an intuitive urge that I must go with not too much money, not much chance of a job, desire to work etc etc, and had problems on my last one way trip so I guess I connected to the bear for strength and put red in the heart like be strong, but it sort of happened by itself. Sometimes when I paint I feel a symbol or energy a certain colour and decide to change it, and sometimes my paintings effect me so much I cry for an hour or pretty much pass out and fall asleep for an hour, it has a lot to do with the heart, sometimes I include others or the whole world in my painting but when including others for subtle virtue have to make sure I am doing it properly and not just because I want to be some super giving person or whatever... 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Starjumper Posted March 1, 2014 (edited) Here are some examples to help you visualize the dragon that came to see me. The attachment is a sketch I drew but of course it's badly foreshortened. It had a crest or frill shaped kind of like this: But it was continuous across the top of the head and not under. It also had a nose/mouth common with carnivores, being taller than it is wide, which means it has some big teeth in there. I can provide lots of details via PM when you feel like starting.

Starjumper Posted March 1, 2014 (edited) Something like this, but with a bigger dome for a brain case: and the eyes looked straight ahead with binocular vision. Kind of like an Eagle's eyes: Edited March 1, 2014 by Starjumper 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
