She paints Indian brides, so naturally there&#8217;s a lot of shine and bling in her art. I was puzzling for months about how to get my images of gems as realistic as hers, and then I discovered she actually glues glass gemstones onto her canvases; it&#8217;s not actually paint.<\/p>\n<p>So in the spirit of being really amused by this, I decided to continue trying to get ultra-realistic gems into my work. I found this cool picture of an Arabic-looking woman online and took a shot at it. It&#8217;s not done yet, but I&#8217;m learning that a minimal touch seems to be the key for suggesting ornate jewelry.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-301 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-medium'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"221\" height=\"300\" data-src=\"https:\/\/in-arcadia.ca\/portfolio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/arabesque-221x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium lazyload\" alt=\"\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/in-arcadia.ca\/portfolio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/arabesque-221x300.jpg 221w, https:\/\/in-arcadia.ca\/portfolio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/arabesque.jpg 500w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 221px) 100vw, 221px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 221px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 221\/300;\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"217\" height=\"300\" data-src=\"https:\/\/in-arcadia.ca\/portfolio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/crow-217x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium lazyload\" alt=\"\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/in-arcadia.ca\/portfolio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/crow-217x300.jpg 217w, https:\/\/in-arcadia.ca\/portfolio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/crow.jpg 500w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 217px) 100vw, 217px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 217px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 217\/300;\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"267\" height=\"300\" data-src=\"https:\/\/in-arcadia.ca\/portfolio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/triad-267x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium lazyload\" alt=\"\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/in-arcadia.ca\/portfolio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/triad-267x300.jpg 267w, https:\/\/in-arcadia.ca\/portfolio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/triad.jpg 500w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 267px) 100vw, 267px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 267px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 267\/300;\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Might As Well Go For It<\/h2>\n<p>I also finally committed to working on the biggest canvas I&#8217;ve ever bought. I started out by just filling the entire thing with an improvised abstract, forcing myself past a fear of ruining a beautiful, blank sheet of white potential. Then I went away to Toronto for a few days, came home sick, and had to spend another few days just lying around doing nothing &#8212; while contemplating my new abstract.<\/p>\n<p>Today I decided it needed to tell a bit of a story, so I sat down in Photoshop and mocked up this design. I&#8217;m looking forward to taking this to the studio and trying to apply it to my big canvas. Not exactly sure how to pull that off yet, since the mockup is quite a bit smaller than the actual surface. But, we&#8217;ll get there. I don&#8217;t do much freehand drawing these days, so it might be good practice to tackle it that way.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-301 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-medium'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/in-arcadia.ca\/portfolio\/new-works-progress\/abstract\/'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"167\" height=\"300\" data-src=\"https:\/\/in-arcadia.ca\/portfolio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/abstract-167x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium lazyload\" alt=\"\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/in-arcadia.ca\/portfolio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/abstract-167x300.jpg 167w, https:\/\/in-arcadia.ca\/portfolio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/abstract.jpg 500w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 167px) 100vw, 167px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 167px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 167\/300;\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/in-arcadia.ca\/portfolio\/new-works-progress\/draft_print\/'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"161\" height=\"300\" data-src=\"https:\/\/in-arcadia.ca\/portfolio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/draft_print-161x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium lazyload\" alt=\"\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/in-arcadia.ca\/portfolio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/draft_print-161x300.jpg 161w, https:\/\/in-arcadia.ca\/portfolio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/draft_print.jpg 386w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 161px) 100vw, 161px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 161px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 161\/300;\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here are a few pieces I&#8217;m currently working on.
