Hello to all my creative art loving friends! I hope you are doing well!
Since I'm still just learning how to draw, I'm working on several projects. This time there are two. The first is drawing along with a training master class from artists and the second is what I try to draw myself. Now I have a tiger cub with a mother tigress according to the master class and half a sunflower on a black background. And now I'm stuck with both! I haven't drawn them for several weeks now. At first there were good reasons for this, but then I realized that something was wrong with it. I analyzed my inner feelings and realized that I simply did not have the motivation to continue drawing. Why? I got it! I couldn't display the shadows and midtones of the color as well as I wanted and I'm stuck. 🥴
Having dealt with myself, I decided that I just need to switch to something that I can draw without stress: something like that “oh, I can’t do it.” I thought about it and decided to implement one of my ideas. I have an old, very convenient plastic tablet stand. Previously it was white. 😅
I've been thinking about painting this with acrylic paints for a long time. And finally I decided to do it. To be honest, I didn’t have a specific vision of what I wanted to get in the end. I decided to draw on a whim. First, I washed this tablet stand well. Then I covered it with acrylic white.
Agree, it looks much better this way! 😀 I let the white paint dry a little and then I wanted to use the blue acrylic color.
The white paint, which was not completely dry, resulted in an interesting mixture of color and blue. I liked it very much!
And then I wanted to make splashes. I really love this! To start, I chose ultramarine.
And then I added white.
I was delighted! The result is just super!!!!
Compare what tablet stand was and what it is now!
Which option did you choose? I'm definitely blue! :) I waited a little while for the paint to dry and carefully placed the tablet on it so you could see how it looked!
My experiment was a success: I enjoyed drawing and updated my old, convenient tablet stand. Now I'll wait until it's completely dry and I still have to remove the paint on the lower inside to make it look neat.

Take care of yourself and be healthy!
