'Tulip Mania'
Thank you Steemians for visiting.
Cheers!
For those interested in the details....
A photograph of the skye with an interesting cloud set is taken and then in a sketch app bleujay draws on the photograph followed by the use of various digital tools to produce the finished product you see here.
Thank you for your interest.
A kind note to all new Steemians.....good manners and thoughtfulness will take you far......as for those who leave notes and links directing members to their site....please be advised this is not the Steemit way.
Please be so kind as to not leave pictures, gifs, etc. so as not to distract from the post.....thank you.
Such wonderful movement and energy in your work... Really glad that you shared. Blessings

First of all, it’s great to see your post once again, after very long time…
@bleujay's artwork is really excellent, as always. The tulip is very cute and has lovely colors.
It's great that you show us the transition stages. I like the way you create the artwork from the white clouds and the bleu skye. Well done!
All the best to you and your family! ;)
Thank you for your kind words @tangmo.

Thank you for visiting @paulavg.
Appreciate your kind words.
All the best. Cheers!
Excellent artwork bleujay! Steemit really is a great way to archive a great deal of work and memories. About how long did it take you to do it?
Greetings @hansenatortravel.
So glad to hear you appreciate the artwork.
It is true.....as much or as little as one would wish....to archive the work was the motivation for this account especially the digital work.
I would be embarrassed to say how long it takes to do a piece.....many times it is the thought process that takes the longest between stages as one seeks to take it beyond the ordinary whilst at the same time learn a new medium.....hopefully some day it will not take as long. I can say the work was begun in the Spring and has only just now been finished. Thank you for your query. ^__^
All the best to you.
Cheers!
So beautiful work! It's always a pleasure to see some pieces of Bleujay, they are really awesome artwork! All the best to you and yours, dear @bentleycapital ^_^
Greetings dear @silviabeneforti.
Always lovely to hear from you.
Thank you for your very kind words.
Lovely work you have out there. ^__^
All the best to you.
Ciao!
Good job @bleujay what editing program do you use. Also the tips you have given me have made me a better steemian and I’m so close to 300 followers.
Yours truly, Tornadoman
Thank you for stopping by @tornadoman.
Appreciate your query....it is really a combination of apps.....initially a sketch app and the others are an assortment that add texture to varying degrees......Photoshop...Editor of the iPad....etc.
Congratulations!
All the best to you. Cheers!
Great combination of colors my friend! (;
Greetings @lordemau.
Lovely to see you here. ^__^
Appreciate your kind words.
All the best to you.
Ciao!
Welcome ! (;
Fresh and lively. I love the way the clouds always create a nice sense of space. When I see your work, I imagine all kinds of uses in decoration.
Very kind of you to stop by @kathleenscarboro.
Thank you for your kind artistic words....could not wish for more from a piece.
Cheers!
Darn, went back to your post, realized I had forgotten to upvote, tried to do so and got nixed by steemit. Oops. Sorry.
No worries @kathleenscarboro.
You are very kind to think of it.......I am a bit scarce these days.....life has a way of intruding from time to time.....in a good way here.
Apologies for the lateness of the reply.....would not want to concern you. ^__^
Beautiful work you have out there.
Kind Regards,
bleujay
Thanks for showing the process. That is truly wild and cool. Very creative. From your comment below, it IS amazing how long almost any art takes to create. As you say, from thought to finish. My silly stories can take a couple of days now and then. And photos as well. And that is not really the same as 'hand' drawing, as you do. Though ruminating on an idea often adds much in the way of layering. It is nice to have that luxury, so let something sit, and think about it, and then continue. Adds a LOT to the idea/end result. Not always possible when trying to get something 'out' on Steemit in a timely manner. But it does happen.
Also, there is something to be said for wanting quality in one's creation. Which adds a lot of time in the mix. I'm not big on the 'grab it off the internet and toss it out' thing. After all, that is what this site was supposedly founded on, ORIGINAL works. That's one of many things I love so much about it.
Are you familiar with @donnadavisart 's work? She uses a tablet a lot. That is something I would like to learn. Hand drawing is fun, but is a real one-way street when you have no talent at drawing, still attempt it, and something 'goes awry'. Seems to happen often. But it's fun to still put it forth, when a photo is not present for an article. WOW, I seem to have really gone on here....hope you have a nice day.
Appreciate your dropping by @ddschteinn.
Thank you for your kind words regarding the work.
Indeed, one of the best things about Steemit is the expression of original thought.....through an assortment of mediums and categories. It is appreciated when one goes to the effort. We never know how long it may take someone to present the work. The main thing is that it is thoughtful original work.
Thank you for the note regarding donnadavisart's work....I shall certainly take a look.
I wish you well in your endeavours. ^__^
Cheers!
Great photos.... Amazing...
You Also provide some information about this.
Thanks for that.
Thank you for your kind reply.
