Daily Creativity: Gaby is my hero, women role models are cool

Posted on March 9, 2015 by Nuchtchas

In honor of International Women’s Day I thought I’d use a woman role model as my muse. Instead of picking a woman from history I chose a currant role model. Gabourey Sidibe is a woman of strong character and confidence, she doesn’t take any guff from anyone, and has sass for days. If ever I feel like I can’t take the negativity around me I can think about Gaby and think, what would she do? Pastel settings in ArtRage on iPad. 3/8/2015

Daily Creativity: Love Your Body

Posted on March 4, 2015 by Nuchtchas

I had fun with this piece for the Love Your Body series. I wanted to paint her as if she was on fire. I had a lot of fun painting her hair, it reminded me of a model I used to paint, she had the most beautiful hair but it was impossible to paint. I think I finally got it down, now I wish I could paint Pat (the model) again.

Daily Creativity: Love Your Body guys!

Posted on March 3, 2015 by Nuchtchas

For this painting in the Love Your Body series I found inspiration from a gent on tumblr. Finding positive images of male figures is a lot harder than women, because in the body positive movement men are being left behind a bit. I try to be inclusive, so if you see an image that looks like something that would inspire me, please, send it along.

When looking for models I look for people who are in love with their bodies and happy, this fellow was perfect. Sadly the image wasn’t sourced, so if you recognize it, let me know, it was a black and white photo with the words “I’m done being ashamed” and I just loved it.

Daily Creativity: Seiza (from tuesday)

Posted on February 25, 2015 by Nuchtchas

Tuesday is an aikido night, so I find myself influenced by it when I’m painting. Last night I painted in watercolor a person in seiza, the way we kneel/sit in class. I had fun with this and worked on making it gender neutral. Painting in ArtRage on the iPad. 2/24/2015
