BIG NEWS BIG NEWS BIG NEWS

some really amazing news i had to share with you peeps

Today a really good friend of mine came to my house while i was actually on my way to Seven Kings.. going to see family.. but anyway... he came to my house and wanted to take a few paintings which he was going to auction at St Georges Hospital/isoc etc UK so his intentions were to take around two or three and auction them and ended up taking 7 paintings of mine.. to use the rest for display..
So while that was going on.. I was meeting my mother at aunts house in Seven Kings to see the brother who is helping me out at GPU, he lived close by.. Gants Hill I think it was.. so alhamdulillah thats going all smoothly iA.. which is cool
Then about half an hour later I got the amazing news... the auction had gone on for around 2 hours and the brother from St Georges hospital rang me to tell me, well he goes the good news or the bad news., I say bad news first and he replies there is non.. then the good news..

Are you ready for this haha.. hold on to your seats.. hahaha cos i nearly fainted.. but i survived..

From the 7 paintings he took and originally only wanting to auction 2 or 3 of them.. in the end they auctioned all of them and i was ecstatic.. like wow omgosh... so subhanAllah i though wicked they must have made a few hundred pounds.. all money was for charity but i was wrong.. i was waaaaayyyyyy offf..

They raised (now take a deep breath) you ready.... £3000............ oh:oh: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...
you got that right.. THREE THOUSAND POUNDS.. and i was seriously in major shock.. and alhamdulillah.. from that he handed out a few of my cards and now I have another 10 orders or so.. :thumbs_up
and honestly i dont have the time to do them :lol: .. but i will soon iA..

But thats the big news.. 7 paintings of mine were able to raise £3000 for charity.. unfortunately i couldn't be there.. but i would have loved to see it happen.. i had other business to attend to as you know..
But SubhannAllah all I can do is thank Allah for guiding me and giving me the opportunity to do something so small for something so big..
I am over the moon.. my hearts pumping like mad.. this is where I feel like becoming a full time artist haha.. but there you are peeps..
iA hope you liked the good news everyone..

And i have only ever auctioned a painting for charity once before and that was also good but it was a while ago..

But seriously peeps.. iA.. im going to be working on some more auction pieces iA. in the future.. when i told my family and parents.. they were like :blink: :blink: wow

So hope you like the new pieces..

^This is another new idea and its my favourite so far.. I LOVE THIS PIECE..IT WAS SOO FUN TO DO.. SO TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA PEEPS.. SOME OF MY NEW IDEAS AND WORK WILL BE LIKE THIS..

^and a few other designs which are not complete just yet.. but will be when I find the time hopefully sooner rather then later..

Anyway peeps that’s it for now.. im tired.. hope you like the new stuff..

Sorry about some of the photos peeps. Didn’t realise.. shows how tired I am haha

More coming later iA.. not soon.. have to catch up with uni now 

 

[-Elle-]

wow..nice variety you've got going on there.

I love the new ideas you're trying out;the patterns and textures give the painting more originality and life.And also,you've got some great colour combinations...(the red and gold ones are amazing)

simply put; awesome:thumbs_up(mash'allah)!

 

[Re.TiReD]

WOW! MASHA'ALLAH!

Do you mind if I ask you a few questions Akhee? I've been told I ask too many but anyway...

I've tried doing calligraphy on canvas using oil and acrylic paints I found that acrylic are waaaaay better as they take upto ten mins to dry whereas my oil would take most of the day and sometimes night to completely dry...what do you use? Because I'm actually gettin bored of acrylic....

Also, how do you get the 'ridges' in the background? All I can seem to do is a plain simple word and plain one colour background, how can I develop my work? any ideas? and by ridges I mean all the *bumpy* bits, like the one in the Gold Allah one....

Sorry for the late reply sis.. i have been sooooooooo busy with my art and uni etcetc but alhamdulillah im coping the best I can..

right as you may know oil paints are very different to acrylics.
oil paints.. yes they do take quite a while to dry.. because its such a thick substance and is not water soluble.. the thicker the layer you apply the longer it will take to dry.. I have created textures with oils for example at school etc.. but for the texture to dry completely would take at least a few days.
Its great for blending though.. there is no other paint that blends as well as oil does.

Acrylics being a hugely water based paint.. can be controlled depending how much water is used.. its ok.. I like using acrylic when doing alot of detailed work.. they both have their advantages and disadvantages...

So yeah I can understand why you det bored.. i used to as well..

now are you asking me to reveal my inner secrets for my work..tutututkay:
thats not alloed.. i cant do that..

nah just messin..
basically you just have to keep an open mind.. there are so many other types of mediums that can be used.. but at the same time can also be very very costly.

I use aerosol to do my work (spray paints)
but for the textured work (or as you say my ridges:giggling...I use something called artex.. its like wall plaster but just a bit more puttier. thats what i use to create all my different designs. and again that just takes a night to dry but its great stuff. So many ideas and effects that can be made out of such a certain substance..
and then to blend my work I use aerosol because I dont actually have to come in contact with the canvas i.e. with a brush so its rather easy to blend as the paint goes straight on.. I even paint the textured area while the artex is still wet just saves time.

with oils they are not used for mass work.. like if you want to do a quick painting you would use acrylic.. drys quickly, but with oils it takes time and is often used for detailed pictures.
but neither of them suitable for me.. The demand for my art has shot up so high i am struggling to keep up with it.. as well as doing my uni work lol
so i need a medium that will more or less be easy to do and quick to dry.. I do use some acrylic aswell. but weather anyone notices it on my work is probably not.

An idea to develop your work.. I have is why not try and go crazy as in.. try and actually stick different materials down and then paint ontop of them. When i was in school painting on canvas i used to stick down pieces of colored and textured paper.. wallpaper was great for that.. or even think pieces of wood. Just try different stuff out iA.. experiment.. thats what everyone does and what I had to do to get where I am.. tooth pics wooden sticks anything can be used

Sorry for the long reply.. important thing is just keep an open mind..
what do you paint on.. if paper not so great.. try canvas its better.. easy to get hold of.. depending on what type of you want.. but you can get some from anywhere.. im thinking canvas board...

 

[farhan2]

I finally cut a new stencil a few days ago.. when i got home from uni.. as tired as I was i just felt like doing it.

and another new one.. but very similar to the stuff youve already seen

 

[farhan2]

Ok so I changed the last one.. just to add a little more to it

^
A different design

^ The leaf one.. I did another… you like??

 

[farhan2]

And these next ones I have a feeling you gyals will like them. Well I hope you do they are rather different

So what do you all think.. I have a few others but they are not finished yet

 

[sevgi]

cool bro..i like...

the last one is nicer than the first one. i like the darkened area in the leaf bit

very effeminite...i really like...keep it up bro..

are these an order?

 

[Afifa]

WOW :awesome: ur a brilianat artist masallah
theyr all excellent peices of wrk

 

[sevgi]

do u place anything between the canvas and the spray can or do u just spray directly???

 

[farhan2]

no these arnt orders.. just developments..

if your talking about my stencils then yea.. i spray on the stencil.. and then goes through that onto the canvas.. apart from that then no. i spray on the canvas straight if its the background im doing.. I have a perfect example to show you what I mean but that picture isnt finished yet

cool..i wasnt talking abt the stencils...the other natural spray on looking background stuff...not the leaves or the text...

it would take a hell of hand coordination.you need steady hands...and a light finger...lol.

im deeply impressed.these skills are the sort of thing which diffrenciate an amateur from the pros.

from the blending of the colours, to the precision of the sprays, to the not too fancy-not too funky feel of the whole artwork.i love it bro.its effeminite..but still has that grunge feel...

i dno what im saying again.plz excuse me...

Art crituiquing is not one of my upper qualities.lol.

all i can say is keep at it...really.
