🖌 Intro / Slothicorn - Let me introduce myself :)

in #slothicorn6 years ago


Came across tag Slothicorn many times during surfing Steemit, but to be honest never was sure how I will enter to this community who nurtures art and creation. Always thought there is some ''special way'' to became one of slothicorns :)

And after post (including slothicorn tag )made by one of my favorite artists here and person I love to exchange thoughts a lot, @donnadavisart, decided to give it a try and introduce myself and join others. Saw people who are posting first time under slothicorn are making sort of introduce post, and since my one year time on Steemit is approaching soon, thought this would be great time for another intro for all those folks following my work.

My name is as it says at profile Dunja Jung and I come from Zemun,Serbia.
It's been a great ride here at Steemit since the moment I joined and started exchanging thoughts and knowledge with other artists here my work got new kick.

Classical techniques were my main interest, drawing with pencils and inks and off course watercolor technique that I am happily conquering almost ten years now.

one of the early works where watercolor was just starting to appear

Soon, watercolor took me over with it's liberty, quick drying and possibility of fast work. Also, I realized with going into it, that many people had very bad and not so happy thoughts about it since most of them had contact with it as a child...and that meant, spilled water, piles on fluffy paper, dirty colors...

And one of my goals, especially here became bringing closer beauty of this technique to others and killing the myth of difficulty.

But with exchanging thoughts or just simply watching other artists here I became interested in digital work, and step by step some thing that were just blank spaces started filling with digital edits of some old works. From time to time I make those interesting step outs from my traditional work with something like this

Most of the time I am devoted to traditional approach of watercolor usage and that's possible one of reasons that @jnart asked me to join him and @marty-arts in making @water-art.
Place where three of us share with folks here our knowledge trough tutorials, explanations and videos starting from basics.

People or better to say human portraits are my biggest love in every medium that I use, from pencil drawings to watercolors. There is something that attract my attention in human expressions and emotions coming out form them. Since I was child it was my favorite topic, and while other children were drawing flowers, autumn in my town or how I spend my holidays, I was drawing portraits.. Had many problems with my teachers during that time, but nothing could stop me :)




And story is almost same today. From time to time I make small trips to some other subjects, like forest for instance

But at the end I remain devoted to my first love

Nice to get to know you a little closer :) I love your portraits and watercolors! <3 I also just recently made my introduction to Slothicorn :)

Thank you @frejafri, I see very interesting staff at your page also :)

I enjoy your work, your ideas, your emphasis on good drawing, your imagination.

@kathleenscarboro, such words coming from such great and accomplished artist as you are means a lot to me really. Thank you so much, this kind of push ups is something we all need from time to time.

What's funny about this is I've never done an intro post, oops. Maybe I'll do one after all. I just noticed @slothicorn seemed really good at supporting great art posts and they have a discord channel too !

Yes, I see they are gathering lot of visual artists, so it took my attention. And some intro is good, it's like a small retrospective here @donnadavisart.

It's so odd, I swear I made a long comment on here yesterday and upvoted and yet today it didn't show up?

I have never done an 'official' intro post, but I suppose I should do. I was happy to see that @juliakponsford included you in her artists highlighted, well deserved of course :)

I read it and responded it @donnadavisart , it's strange if you don't see it..
Yes, @juliakponsford made me real happy for including me into her post.
