Mini 1 : 'Butterfly Catcher'

Returning....

It's been too long, but let's make an effort. Social media should not swallow all other sites, right?

For the next days, I'll be posting here too my series of mini sketches, which I'm creating daily till September 30th!

This one however, was not exactly a mini, but a personal favorite which started the series...

Jane Eyre

Making 'Jane Eyre'

Above is a little tutorial -sort of- of my process on adding detail to the lips of my painting, Jane Eyre.

Below you can see the finished piece:

'Carousel Ride' by Zelyss

We all more or less end up abandoning our blogs (I've seen it in many other artists), cause life is so consuming and we end up realizing (and accepting) that there is no time for everything. 

I love it though. When I visit my blog to write a post, I feel like standing in front of a stream, with my thoughts flowing freely...

Short stop today again, I thought of showing you the unexpected route a painting can take. How we can start with one feeling and end up with another. This is my 'Carousel Ride', a very dear piece to me. From sketch to (almost) final. I'm not posting the final-final stage yet, but the 4th photo is pretty close to what it is. 

Our paintings grow, along with us....

Happy new year to everyone!!

For the new year, my best wish to everybody.
What else could it be?
HEALTH
Above else and most important than anything...

Love,
Zelyss

Lollipop Rococo

This is my last painting, 'Lollipop Rococo' and I wanted to share it in bigger analysis with you.

She's the first actual Lowbrow piece that I've painted and it feels kind of awkward. But it certainly has the general feeling of my work on it. 

I hope you like it! 

Elephant lover's eye

This heart-shaped block of wood was laying around in the studio for far too long. I ended up into turning it into an 'Elephant lover's eye'... I'll take another photo of it hung up on a wall because I was in a rush this morning.

I'm thinking of keeping it but I'm a little worried that we'll start looking too much like a museum around here in the end... I 'd so like that! :)

Suffocating. Unable to breath. Stressed. Always. Why?

'Guarding Angelica' by Zelyss

Angels are a good theme for Sundays I think... and Mondays. And so on... 
Detail of my painting 'Guarding Angelica', acrylics on board.

Runaway Scarlett : detail

Clearing up my camera and I just came across this photo. I kinda love it, so I thought to post it. The lighting is totally off , glares everywhere, but the butterscotch colored eyes are there...

WIP : Cinderella

This is where we currently are, me painting blurry, crying eyes...

Blythe in Candyland

Anyone for candy???

Progress photo - girl in woods

This photo is in so many ways wrong, it was taken in the dawn fade natural light creeping in my studio. But the painting is coming out so nice... I'm thrilled!!! I think in the end I will wanna go parading in the streets to show it off... ;)
