'Let Me Paint Your Story' fairy tale about two sisters:)# 'Pozwól Namalować Mi Twoją Historię'- bajka o dwóch siostrach.

Hello Arty Souls!

Today I wanted to tell you a little story about commissioned paintings. I called them 'Let me paint your story'... 
Basically when I got an order for a painting, its not just a painting. It is a story about little girl, little boy, a couple.... A story which is a colorful fairy tale. In my paintings there is no sadness, everyday troubles or dull colours. It is all about happy and magical fairy tale:) When I am asked to make something special for someone special, I always ask for the photo and additional information about favourite colours, toys, places or special little things known only to the future owner of a painting and his family and friends:) And that is how the painted story begins...

Here is a painting I made for two little girls-sisters: Katya and Lina. Katya has a little bit curly hair and she loves dinos:) Lina has straight hair and she loves buses and neckleses. Girls love each other very much and they always play together so I really wanted to show this strong bond on the painting.
And there it is:

Witajcie Artystyczne Dusze!
Dzisiaj chciałabym wam opowiedzieć w jaki sposób maluje obrazy na zamówienie. Nazywam je: 'Pozwól mi namalować Twoją historię'
Kiedy dostaję zamówienie, to nie tylko na obraz, ale również na bajkową historię...Historię o małej dziewczynce, chłopcu czy też młodej parze...Każda historia to kolorowa bajka 'opowiedziana' za pomocą pędzla. W moich obrazkach nie ma smutków czy szarości dnia codziennego, jest za to kolorowa, magiczna i bajkowa opowieść.
Gdy dostaję zlecenie, zawsze proszę o zdjęcie oraz dodatkowe informacje jak np. ulubione kolory, maskotki czy miejsca podróży. A także sekretne detale znane tylko przyszłemu włacicielowi obrazka oraz jego najbliższym. I tak własnie zaczynam malować bajkową opowieść...

Poniższy obrazek namalowałam dla dwóch dziewczynek- sióstr: Katya i Lina. Katya to ta wyższa, ma lekko kręcone włosy i uwielbia dinozaury. Lina ma proste włosy i preferuje naszyjniki i autobusy;). Dziewczynki bardzo się kochają i zawsze razem się bawią, więc bardzo zależalo mi by pokazać to szczególną więz między nimi.


And these are the sweethearts:)
A oto słodziaki:



And this one was a wedding gift for a couple who got engaged in Paris. Kasia and Wojtek both study to be doctors:)
Ten obrazek zamówiony został jako prezent ślubny dla pary, która zaręczyła się w Paryżu. Kasia i Wojtek razem studiują medycynę, co też zaznaczyłam na obrazku :) 





If you would like me to paint the story for you, please contact me at tandiart83@gmail.com
Jeżeli ktoś chciałby taką historię pedzlem malowaną, proszę o kontakt :  tandiart83@gmail.com

Watercolor Fairy-girl


 Hello Arty Souls!
I wanted to show you my recent girl inspired by Danielle Donaldson who is amazing artist and illustrator. I just adore her way of painting girls in watercolor. I wanted to challenge myself a little bit more and I started experimenting with watercolors. However I found them so much more difficult then acrylics. The difference is that its harder to correct mistake! You can't just paint over with another layer of watercolour. So I would say the process of using watercolor paints needs to be a little bit planned.
What I also learnt from Danielle is that I can use white background with bravery:) And I can play more with clots details.
I will continue to explore watercolours and I will keep you posted with my progress:D


 
I would also like to enter Drawing challenge with Mixed Media Place

Saying 'Thank You' in TandiArt style:)


Hey Artsy Souls!
