Wonders of Fan Brush
 |
| Watercolor Painting by Andrea Mae Antonio |
Have you ever tried painting with a fan brush? Isn't it amazing that it has many adorable uses? Fan brush is a thin layer of bristles spread out in the shape of a fan. It is commonly used for blending. The first time I saw a fan brush, I literally have no idea how to use it. When I watched some videos and saw how painters used fan brushes, I bought one immediately. It is now my favorite paintbrush. And I think it is a must-have for every artist (especially for me because I do landscape painting more often).
Now, I will show you the wonders of fan brush. Enjoy!

Artsy February

| Cherry Blossoms Watercolor |
February, you have been the most creative month for me... YET! I still can't believe that I was able to launch my own blog. Putting up this page was the last possible thing I thought I can do. Thanks to my family and friends who encouraged me to fulfill my little dream. This month, I was so inspired so I was able to make a lot of artworks.
Here are some of them...

I create art (just) because I want to express my own thoughts and feelings. That's it. Some of my friends told me before that I can actually sell my artworks but I hesitated. "Who would buy my paintings?"; "There are lot of artists that are better than me."... those were the thoughts I had in my mind. Sadly, I didn't believe in myself. Then one day, my grandmother told me the same thing and finally I had the guts to try selling them. And for this month's highlight, I sold two (2) paintings (photos below)!

 |
| "Shadows of Love" Acrylic on Canvas (18" x 22") ART FOR SALE |
 |
| "Waterfalls" Acrylic on Canvas (20" x 30") |
| I don't know that I have the capabilities to do these things. I always compare myself to others that's why sometimes I feel so weak. But today, I've learned that I should always believe in myself. Therefore, I will turn my can'ts into cans and dreams into plans. Infuse your life with action. Don't wait for it to happen. MAKE IT HAPPEN. :) (More artworks coming soon...) |

Straw Art Painting
 |
Watercolor Paintings by Andrea Mae Antonio |
Hello Everyone! Have you ever tried blow art using straws and paint? It’s such a fun art technique that every artist loves. I always use this technique especially when i'm painting trees so the branches will look more natural.I've learned this technique when I'm still in grade school.Not to mention, I already have an art blog during that time (www.sketch-in-paint.blogspot.com). I really love to draw so my uncle did it for me. Anyway, let's start the tutorial!
Materials needed:
*Watercolor paper
*Watercolor paint
*Brushes
*Straw
*Masking tape (optional)
Step 1: (optional) Tape your watercolor paper down to your art board using masking tape if you want to create a border.
Step 2: Choose your color palette for your painting. ( use the color wheel as a guide)
Step 3: Load up your brush and water color of choice with water
Step 4: Now, drop some wet watercolor paint onto your paper and blow the paint around with a straw. (the bigger the drop, the farther the paint will go)
Step 5: Repeat until you are satisfied with the look of your masterpiece. Let it dry completely and you're done!
Here's a short video of me doing the straw art painting...
This is quick, easy, and fun to do! So, what are you waiting for? Get those paints out and let your creativity flow. Would you like to see more tutorials in the future? Let me know!

"Into The Wild"
“Into The Wild” is the first watercolor collection I have ever published on my blog. It wasn’t until the 3rd piece I made that I thought of the whole as a collection I could publish here. At first, I thought that using watercolor is really not that easy but when I discovered the wonders of watercolor, I really feel like I have found my voice. Now, it's one of my favorite mediums to work. And maybe I can do a basic tutorial on using watercolor. What do you think? I hope you guys like this one as much as my grandma says she does. Be sure to tune in for I have a lot of upcoming posts to be published within the week!
What do you guys think is cool for my next collection? Let me know!
