At SteemFest @skapaneas gave me this beautiful hand drawn picture of Dali. He asked me to make a collaboration piece with it, so here goes!
I took @skapaneas' Dali picture and scanned it, I then changed the black to blue. I printed it on to thick paper and added oil pastel over the top.
Layers of watercolour applied over the oil pastel.
To complete the piece I added some text and a sprinkle of glitter, well it is Christmas!
The text is part of a Dali quote:
'There are some days when I think I'm going to die from an overdose of satisfaction.' Salvador Dali
Oh, how cool @opheliafu
I just went to his post to download the photo. :)
Wonderful collaboration! Love Dali's classic expression :-)
The original @skapaneas drawing is fantastic, very detailed.
One of my all time favorite artists! :D
What is your favourite piece?
The Persistence of Memory, of course!
But I also love The Burning Giraffe, The Elephants, The Temptaion of St. Anthony, The Disentigration of the Persistance of Memory and The Meditative Rose.
What about you?
I really like the techniques he uses in the “Aliyah” series and his Alice in Wonderland pieces .
😮 I just learned something! Somehow I have never seen his Alice in Wonderland pieces, and I love them!
I prefer that style of work to his large paintings. I've been to The Dali museum in Florida and London, seeing his large paintings in person is very cool, but I still prefer the smaller paintings.
This is fab, in all the amazing Ophelia colours and the glitter!!!
Yes, I've always felt Dali's work just needed a tad more glam 👄 so I added some glitter. He was so understated in his style 😉
With your guidance just think what he could have achieved!! 😅
I'm thinking Jeff Koons meets Jim Lambie (the glitter pieces)
@opheliafu, you and @skapaneas do will in collaboration. Always liked watching old video of Dali.
Thank you. @skapaneas is a great artist.
I love discovering new places (pages ;) to visit! Magnificent. I've been here just under two weeks and when my husband asks me what it's like I tell him it's a journey to cozy used book stores, art galleries, museums, other countries, trendy coffee shops, haha! Love it.
That's a wonderful description!
Thank you ;) It's the way I will describe it to draw friends, family, and a group of great people on my social media pages who really need to be here instead. Once my brother joins us (he's the musician I post on my page) I know he'll be right with me on it-we'll make a great steemteam :)
Once they get into Steemit I'm sure they will love it.
I love the @opheliafu treatment !!
Are you talking about the artwork or SteemFest?!?
Haha the artwork, though both really ;)
Lovely! I love the collaboration.
Dali would look good on wood!
He would. Not sure if I can make portrait on wood that well. I hope with time I will improve.
You could do just the moustache
:))) That would save some time.
Beautiful work as all her works lady @opheliafu congratulations.
Thank you for these gifts you give us daily
It's always a pleasure to paint and create!
