IAmSciArtさんのイラストまとめ

Then I went to make another Garibaldi, and placed the same two colors. Surprise! Gray! My orange fish was deathly dull. Which should have been no surprise at all, because neutral complements. I was able to add more color and save it, but barely!

Re: pigment flow again, physics can surprise you. This was a lunchtime sketch of a Garibaldi. I dropped the same two neutral complements (cobalt and orange) into the fins. The blue flowed into the orange without blending, creating lovely shadows.

Two neutral complements can represent a surprising array of hues, depending on your topic. These birds were a paper test, all using Cobalt blue (PB28) and Burnt Sienna (PBr7). That Great Blue Heron looks a bit more like a Tricolor, oops!

I posted this one earlier, bringing it back now as a good case study for the technique. The sky is all cobalt blue (PB28) and perinone orange (PO62). Add each to wet paper, swirl a bit, stand back and watch the magic!

My own expression of #SciArt so far is documentary in nature… documentary OF nature really. If I could, I'd draw, paint, and take notes on every species I see! The bugs alone would be a full time job, never mind the birds. And it would be a dream job for me.

Field sketches:

Other end of the spectrum, was sketching a pond when a passer-by asked if I'd noticed the osprey. It was in a tree right over my head!

I had maybe 20 minutes while the bird groomed and hung out, before it flew away.

Something that began to fascinate me, is the way pigment and water can so effectively replicate things that happen in the sky. It doesn't make sense, really - how does water, sugar, tree sap, and ground-up rocks look so much like air and ice? But it does! (Summer Storm, 2014)

So, young artist impressed by science had to add this to her work! (Full disclosure, it was the 80s and I was in my teens, you've been warned. 😁)

I created these emojis for @erinkburrell, who is an AMAZING researcher doing fantastic work in NZ that has great impact for trans* & non-binary ppl.

I absolutely 100% could not have asked for a better 1st patron of my #SciArt!

Are you a #scientist whose #research has been improved by #sciart? In what ways?
