Minimalistic references - Week 9 (Patreon)

Good morning everyone! 🤗

I feel like I'm in my minimalistic summer vibes era! I love to search for these kinds of images on Pinterest. The photos have such a calm and peaceful appearance. They make you feel you want to go on a holiday right now and lie at the beach, read, draw, and eat ice cream. At least, that's how they make me feel, haha. ☀️

This weekend I created an acrylic painting of the first still life image with the citruses and melons. I am in love with the colours and the set-up of this picture. I feel like going to paint more in the upcoming weeks, so stay tuned! Maybe this is your sign to try out different mediums as well!

Materials

I used the following materials for my painting:

Paint ON mix media multi techniques paper (A4 - 250g/m2 - 115lb)

Some acrylic brushes

Amsterdam acrylics:

Prussian Blue Phthalo (566)

Olive Green Deep (622)

Olive Green Light (621)

Sky Blue Light (551)

Yellow Ochre (227)

Titanium White (105)

Van Gogh Acrylic paint: Licht oxide red (339)

A black colour I bought a while ago, I don't know the brand of this one, but you can buy any black colour of any brand you want.

I don't like to mix too much, so I bought some colours of paint that fit my own colour palette already. This way I can mix them and stay in the same palette. It also helps when I have to mix a colour again to get the right colour much quicker.
