Nothing to Disclose
♥
Today is Day 2 of The Digit-al Dozen Nature week and I drew my inspiration for this one from a technique I've always been drawn to, Ancient Chinese Landscape Paintings!
I think what has always drawn me to the ancient Chinese landscapes is the "moodiness" of them. They used ink wash and generally monochromatic shades and they were sparse - to evoke an emotion or atmosphere (the moodiness I feel, I think) more than to reproduce a scene exactly, as you'd find in realism. Of course what I've created is also more a "suggestion of" rather than a recreation, but I do like the look.
For this I used a base of OPI My Vampire is Buff and black and white acrylic paints blended in to varying degrees of grey.
Check back every day this week for a new Nature mani and be sure to check the links below for all the other creations by the Digit-al Dozen gang!
