This is my next attempt in repainting Monet while using the color scheme of 90s anime Sailor Moon. Monets "Stormy Sea At Etretat" was mostly grey and I think I enjoy this pink and purple version actually more. I also feel like while the original displayed a daytime scene, this looks more like a nocturne now.

It was so much fun layering all those different kinds of pink in the water. :blobmiou:

I've made a mixing chart for my Talens Amsterdam Expert acrylic paints. They are the only acrylics I have found that stay the same hue and value dry or wet. Guess my favourites! Extra marks for spotting the labelling mistake.

Why make a mixing chart? Okay, it's a bit tedious, but saves masses of time, frustration and brain ache in the long run. It also teaches you a lot about how the different pigments "stand up" to each other. I definitely recommend doing it.

And the second stone is a little one I made for myself, a "worry stone" to replace my old one which I gave to a friend.

This stone features thick dollops of gloss glaze on top of the dot shapes forming a raised/textured surface that is wonderfully tactile and lovely to rub your fingers over. It turns the stones into lovely little fidget toys or meditation tools.

Anyway, I'm really fond of this one! It feels wonderful to hold and to fidget with. It uses some of my favourite colours, too. :da_grin:

A small oval-shaped dot painted art stone, held loosely in my hand. The design is a rather simple or "classic" dot painted design, with a large centre dot and radiating circles of dots and teardrop designs surrounding it in colours of metallic pink, pale apple green, white, and metallic gold painted on a black background.
The stone held on an angle to the light, showing off the raised glossed bumps complementing the dots painted on its surface.

I have a couple dot paintings to share with you today! The first one I finished up last week sometime, a rather detailed one with colours and patterns inspired by Princess Jasmine from the Disney movie "Aladdin". :da_boogie:

I really like the blue/turquoise patterns in this one. The gold shapes on the outside were an experiment, but they're also kind of neat! :mandala:

A photo of a round, flattish dot painted art stone. The main geometric design is composed of flower-like petals radiating around a star shape in the centre. The star has a large gold dot in the centre and eight purple "points". The petals around this star are filled with radiating teardrop shapes in gradient shades of turquoise and accented with gold. It's all painted on a black background.
The same stone, but angled a bit, to show more of the outer edge. Around the main flower design are large teardrop blobs of gold accenting the design, forming a decadent-looking decorative border.
Another on-edge photo, showing more of the decorative gold designs around the edge.
