Original Artwork Painting, Watercolor on Paper

Artworks classification

Original Artwork

Original Artwork refers to any work that is considered authentic and not a copy or imitation of the original works of an artist. Original artwork can be any type of painting, sculpture, performance, or other media. There are many types of original media. Mixed media includes oil, acrylic, and watercolor paintings. For workshop paintings that bear evidence of master craftsmanship, this attribution must be further qualified. While they may be less valuable for different reasons, reproductions and copies have had a tremendous impact on our experience. They reach a greater audience than originals and act as a tonic against commodification. Original Artwork could also refer to the first work, which is always preceding all others. It could also refer to a prototype or a model from which other works can be made. Each work bears great similarities to the original.

This is piece #9 from my collection called:

They Dance in the colors of the rainbow.

This collection explores being 100% yourself, with all your perfections and imperfections. There is much freedom, joy and transcendence that a person experiences, once they decide to accept who they really are! Here's a little rhyme about the experience: In many ways you now go free, now that you found your own personal acceptance key, since you now understand how your really supposed to be! Insert sparkles emoji. I hope this collection helps people who feel marginalized by society to feel less marginalized and more empowered to embrace their creative and avant-garde ways! I tried to use every single color I have to ensure that no one feels not represented by at least one dancing painting in this collection.

Black is such an amazing color and this piece explores that!

Light just seems to get lost inside of it, then it combines with the darkness in a unique way that leaves behind spaces filled with soft illuminated glowing details!!

To see this in action, please look closely at the texture of the figures in this painting.

Also, black plus any color makes an instant stand out statement!

Black also goes well with every color!

What an amazing combination of positive attributes that all originate from the color black!

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Watercolor

Watercolor is a painting in which gum arabic binds transparent pigments revealing the support of the painting. The gouache, of identical composition, is opaque. A watercolor is a water-based painting on paper. We rarely speak of a painting for a work painted in watercolor. Watercolor paintings are considered to be a unique way to creatively represent dreams, illusions, emotions and luminous feelings using water soluble pigments. However, painting with watercolors can be difficult. It's a difficult medium to master, in large part because it can be ruthless and unpredictable. Mistakes are difficult to correct and its fluid nature makes it difficult to control. Yet it is these very qualities that give the medium its undeniable charm.

Outsider Art

Invented by Jean Dubuffet (1901-1985) in 1945, the idea is to create works with primitive graphics that take no academic reference into account. He will also advise to "draw like a child" and encourage self-taught artists.

Technic Painting

Painting is an art form of painting on a surface by aesthetically applying colored fluids. Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.

"My watercolor art explores everything that is beautiful in this world...People, places, emotions, experiences, and opportunities."

- Yeshaya Dank.

I want beauty to be accessible to everyone, and for there to be the understanding that beauty exists everywhere, all the time, you just need to search for it and you will be dearly rewarded!

I paint the uncharted territory, the places and things that I've never seen painted like this before or from this angle.

I try to put many hidden gems into one painting, just waiting for you to discover.

Showing how everything has beauty, it's just waiting to be discovered.

Same with my artworks; with time you will discover new and beautiful details on each painting, which were previously hidden in plain sight!

The artists who inspire my work include:

Edvard Munch, Vincent Van Gogh, and JR.

What is my creation process?

I start by cutting stencils, to ensure that the base shapes and textures are perfect. I then paint using watercolour; up to 50 layers of different colours, in different areas. Allowing some areas to dry fast and some to try slower, creating different textures and shades of colour.

I use thin canvasses intentionally, as i am trying to create beautiful getaways that when not being used, can just blend back into the background again. They don't stick out at you, yet they are still easily accessed at a moments notice, exactly when you need them.

My total creation time, can be up to 3 months per painting.

I grew up in Sydney, Australia. I'm currently based near Horsham, Victoria, Australia.

How I came up with my pricing:

I think a fair wage for an emerging artist is at least $125 USD per day + the cost of materials & shipping costs; so if an artwork takes me a week to create it will cost $875 + the cost of materials & shipping costs, and if an artwork takes a month to create it will cost $3,750 + the cost of materials & shipping costs.

My highest priced piece (walking into the sunset) took 3 months to create; hence the $11,250 + cost of materials price & shipping costs.

My prints will priced in such a way that they will be affordable to everyone, cause i believe that everyone deserves to be able to own nice art, and by pricing my prints at a lower price; everyone can afford them! :D

You might also wonder why my prices are the same regardless if there is more or less detail, and the reason for that is because I put the same amount of effort into an artwork with less detail; as I do with the one with more detail.

The difference is in the story content.

The one with less detail will have more of a story, and the one with more detail will have less of a story since most the story is clearly seen, and understood.

Thank you all so much for your ongoing support and I look forward to meeting all of you at some point in the near future! :)
