Some of My Work

Two of My favorite Drawings

Queen Elizabeth

A sketch of Queen Elizabeth.

           What inspired me to draw this picture of Queen Elizabeth is the fact that I really liked the amounts of shades I was capable of putting in it to deliver a stronger message to the viewers. This portrait has the capability of touching the people’s emotions by the different type of pencil shades that I have used to draw it. It took me 4 continuous hours to complete it and I tried my best to put a lot of effort on each detail of her face. I believe that is my version of the “ Mona Lisa”.

The Black Night’s Moonlight

This is a painting I drew after looking outside the window one night outside Kuwait.

           I called this painting “ The Black Night’s Moonlight” due amazing way it captures the view of the shining moon in a dark black night. I believe that this painting has a large impact on the people who see it because of the dark and light yellow color combination that makes the moon and it’s reflection on the sea standout more. Moreover, I am sure that lots of people will be able to connect to this painting due to the fact that it will remind them of the breath-taking view of the moon at night. Many people would unfortunately criticize the colors used and say that they are too dark forgetting to realize that this might have something to do with the fact that the artist who drew it did that by purpose in order to deliver a message. One of the most important reasons that I picked a darker background was to allow the beauty of the moon to stand out more as it hangs in the night sky and the kindness in delivering us light to see during the night.

Is Art Limitless?

Art Has No Limit

 

 Lots of things in life have limits. Even life it self has a limit but art has no limit. Through art people can express themselves freely with no boundaries to stop them from delivering what they feel. Through paint they can deliver hidden messages that only some people will be able to read once they feel connected to the painting. People from all walks of life can use there imagination to escape from the limits that surrounds them and deliver there messages to the world through their art work. Yes, not everyone can draw,however , everyone in the world has some thing to say and can say it through there art. Art does not necessarily mean only paintings and well drawn sketches, but it also may be a sculpture or anything else that has embedded feelings with in it affecting the emotions of those whom view it. 

Different People See Different Things

People see things from different perspectives and different people see different things depending on where they are and the limits placed on them. As you grow up, your point of of view about lots of things will change and so does the way you view art and what a piece of art would represent to you having an impact on you emotionally. You start to view things depending on where you are in life and the different characteristics within you.

Your Limitless Imagination

There Is A Hidden Artist Within Everyone

 A Hidden Artist Within Everyone

The tools that you may use to deliver your message on canvas.

No matter how young or old people are they from my point of view have an artist buried within them. They all can strive to dig out that artist by simply:

• Holding a pencil to draw anything on paper.
  
• Stroking a brush to paint on canvas.
• Using their hands to draw on the sand. 
• Looking around them and realizing what they really see? 
• Trying to notice if they see anything transformable to a piece of art?

What I Think

I am sure that if people go ahead and look around them after they have read those five points they will look at things a bit differently. They will in fact start to look closer and discover masterpieces that they have not taken enough time to notice due to them having a busy life schedule.

Look Around

As you look at all the things that surround you, try to view them from a perspective that involves a lot of your imagination. Do that in order be able to create a piece of art that you and other people can relate to depending on your point of views and similarities. Everyone has the power to become an artist, so why don’t you become one. I believe that as you involve more of your effort and emotions through your art, a larger amount of people may be able to connect to it. Leonardo Da Vinci, Pablo Picasso, and Salvador Dali are not the not the only artists that are capable of delivering their feelings on paint because there are many others and you might be one of them.

This is one of my favorite drawings that I have done to capture the love and caring hands of parents for their children.

What do you feel when you look at this drawing? Do you feel there is some sort of connection between you and this drawing? In other words do you feel connected emotionally? Does it remind you of nice childhood memories? If your answer is yes to  any of these questions, then I should congratulate you for the fact that I think that there is an artist buried with in you. You will realize this when you now go ahead and use something that is as simple as a pencil and start drawing the first thing  you think of. Do not stop to think about what you should draw. Many artists have started with no clue about what they are about to draw and have ended up with breath-taking masterpieces. Go ahead draw. After you do that, may you please answer this survey.

The Secrets Behind My Blog’s Creation?

The Secret

 

Everyone has their own "Mona Lisa". You just need to take a closer look at their art work to realize that fact.

         Some people say paintings allow you to express yourself through mind existing images and some say that a painting is a picture worth a million words. I say “I agree”, however, why do people forget to mention the fact that limits through paintings are just non-existing. A place with boundaries can not be seen through the creativity of the painter where hidden message are in disguise with colors and strokes. Continues freedom in hiding words among the colors. Everyone has their own “Mona Lisa”. You just need to take a closer look at their art work to realize that fact. Not everyone needs to be the Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci  to be able to deliver a breath-taking emotional image that grabs many people’s attention. Everyone has the power to communicate emotionally with people’s feelings by drawing each part according to their inner sensation and some intuition of their honest experience in life. Wether that experience involved going through bad time or good times it all has an impact on the artist’s emotions and is reflected on their art. As this is reflected on the work of the artists they can easily reach the people whom went through that same experience and can connect to it by viewing the artists work.

Look Closer

Paint comes in many colors and shades.

         When each person goes ahead and has a closer look at a drawing, sketch, or painting they will be able to connect to it and make it their version of the Mona Lisa and its unique characteristics. I believe that there are many artists that succeeded in making masterpieces that are still popular up to this day.

My favorite artists are:

• Leonardo Da Vinci 
• Claude Monet 
• Pablo Picasso 
• Vincent Van Gogh
• Henri Rousseau
• Marc Chagall
• Salvador Dali
