this thing called art

about her: she is smoking, she is passively controlling the cloud, she is unaware of its damage; art becomes an enjoyable habit, when you do it you don't really see the consequences about it, not being able to do anything else, you remain trapped in the colors, in the smoke, in the cloud, in the habit.



watercolor, acrylic, pencil, charcoal and pen on watercolor paper (300g)

my idea was born looking this photo, I just love it, it made images in my mind:

This paining is so beautiful. I love how you used the photo as a basis, and created this masterpiece from it. I love the smoke she is breathing out, showing the colors used in painting, and how you juxtaposed it with the smoke from the inspiration of this piece.

I love how this is painted as well, you somehow make the 'smoke' seem to be alive and completely random, but still beautiful and not messy. The girl as well in the painting, doesn't seem to care or understand how much it is affecting her, and the way her eyes seem to stare at you, in a way mocking you.

Truly, this is one of your best pieces yet. Please continue to amaze me with your painting skills. :)

Downright amazing, can immediately tell its color/smoke can see a kind of void expression on the girl's face, and stunning use of both color and technique. The blend of colors doesn't make it appear like color vomit, which is impressive. The theme that art can be addicting is amazing and a head turner perhaps to some who don't understand what you mean, but the point is clear. As the cloud goes farther down it also gets darker, which seems a bit symbolic to me. Perhaps the addiction part? In any case, you just earned yourself a cookie (Hands cookie over).

Oh my gosh! I've seen this before (possibly on Tumblr - they did not credit it as theirs) and I loved it so much I set it as my background. Beautiful work!

I used the title of your piece on this: [link] and gave you full credit for the title, of course. If there's a problem, just tell me and I'll change it.
