Serendipity Galaxy | Lukisan Acrylic #14

 Assalamualaikum

I'm trying a new art technique, which I have been planning on doing for a long time - masking tape.

©Ema. Serendipity Galaxy. Acrylic. 20cm x 30cm

Random morning, woke up and suddenly decided to paint a cat, with a galaxy. Considering last time my blue Galaxy look "disorganize", I just let my brush and sponge do it works.

Linings of masking tape, draw a shape and cut it

A shape of cat. Kak Shy said, its a calico cat

Decided to go for aqua sky, because it looks pretty in YT

I only used 4 colours, aqua, black, lemon yellow, and white. 

Starting to look better

I got my new thinnest brush! I can draw the subject better now

The most satisfying in masking tape art is!... Removing the masking tape. Aaahh..the peeling 😊. However, I think I didn't firmly press the tape-or my acrylic too diluted, the paint spread under the tape. I just have to paint it white to neatly finishing the paint.

Purrrrfect. Alhamdulillah, I felt quite happy with this one
Satisfaction rate: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

It reminds me of watercolour painting. I never tried watercolour art before. A friend of mine suggested to paint "Starry Night" by Vincent van Gogh. I think the short brush stroke technique is pretty interesting. I might try this in the future. By the way, I have not yet varnished my paintings. I should do that soon..

My angel, my world

I’m your Calico cat, here to see you

UPDATE 13 Jan: I make a vlog and recreate this painting 

The painting is available at my art store

p/s: I'm preparing something on new year
