Hi everyone!Ā 

First of all, I just wanted to thank yā€™all for all the love on theĀ last tutorial I postedĀ -Iā€™m glad people found it worthy of sharing and reading. I wanted to make this one more in-depth. I donā€™t think I would call this a ā€œtutorialā€ to achieve something specific, but a look into the thought process that goes on regarding environments, storytelling and execution. Hopefully you can relate it to your own thought processes you currently have.

Have a good one, guys! If you got questions, do ask ā€˜em.Ā :)

(Also. I know Iā€™ve been quiet in posting new art lately. A lot of the art I canā€™t show yet but there is cool stuff on the way.)Ā

5-Year-Old With Autism Paints Stunning MasterpiecesĀ 

Autism is a poorly-understood neurological disorder that can impair an individualā€™s ability to engage in various social interactions. But little 5-year-old Iris Grace in the UK is an excellent example of the unexpected gifts that autism can also grant ā€“ her exceptional focus and attention to detail have helped her create incredibly beautiful paintings that many of her fans (and buyers) have likened to Monetā€™s works.

Little Iris is slowly learning to speak, whereas most children have already begun to speak at least a few words by age 2. Along with speech therapy, her parents gradually introduced her to painting, which is when they discovered her amazing talent.

ā€œWe have been encouraging Iris to paint to help with speech therapy, joint attention and turn taking,ā€ her mother, Arabella Carter-Johnson, explains on her website. ā€œThen we realised that she is actually really talented and has an incredible concentration span of around 2 hours each time she paints. Her autism has created a style of painting which I have never seen in a child of her age, she has an understanding of colours and how they interact with each other.ā€

Much better version of the same subject matter I posted earlier.

271 Years Before Pantone, an Artist Mixed and Described Every Color Imaginable in an 800-Page Book

In 1692 an artist known only as ā€œA. Boogertā€ sat down to write a book in Dutch about mixing watercolors. Not only would he begin the book with a bit about the use of color in painting, but would go on to explain how to create certain hues and change the tone by adding one, two, or three parts of water. The premise sounds simple enough, but the final product is almost unfathomable in its detail and scope.
