Diego Fidelis-Guimaraes - Blu88 Art Studio

For my paintings I use acrylic paint, modeling paste, and a few different brushes sizes throughout the process. I usually draw the lines with a pencil in the canvas first. The choice of colors is a very thoughtful process in my compositions, I might change one or two while I am working but they are previously planned and tested. With a dry brush I apply the paint, two or three layers for each color of my composition to make it strong and bold. The curves and edges are meticulously painted to achieve a perfect line where the colors meet each other. I use the angle brush for my black lines, changing the pressure to get this variation of thickness. For its final effect, I use a special splattering technique I developed, making sure I use my fingers and the brush at the right distance from the canvas, and also the right amount of water and paint to apply the dots uniformly, creating a subtle “terrazzo” look.
