Art Re-Creations From My Drawn From Nature Projects

 

I am very much enjoying the creation of the Drawn From Nature artwork. I want others to enjoy this artwork as well. However, I realized prints of the artwork are not as appealing as an original creation. I’ve seen other artists offer original artwork based on a single design of the creation, where the artist paints an artwork, then paints the same artwork again. Each time the same image is re-painted, it is its own original, but the base design of the artwork is similar to the first painting. I’m not sure how other artists refer to this type of artwork. I would like to refer to this as an art “re-creation”. For me, this art “re-creation” would be a transferring of a previously created artwork onto a new sheet of paper and either re-drawn, re-painted, or re-inked, depending on how the original was first created. 

I want to re-create the originals from my Drawn From Nature projects featured on Kickstarter. I noticed that art appreciators love a nice original art as opposed to prints of those originals. I would love for a lot more art appreciators to have originals. These Drawn From Nature re-creations will be originals of their own as the details of each piece will differ from previous creations. 

A lot of artists don’t like the idea of “repainting” an artwork that they considered “already painted.” I totally get it. As a creator, you need to be able to move on to create with new ideas. This is not about not being able to move on to new ideas. For me, this is about the gift of an art original to more than one individual. 

I just love to create, put marks on paper. I look at a scene, a picture, something that moves me, and I want to re-create it on paper. I think this project allows me to do just that. I’m not an elaborate painter, but I do love creating art and bringing joy to someone’s day who is looking at the art I created.

This is the original Lotus #13 offered on my Make 100 Kickstarter for 2025.

Here is a re-create inking of the same design, still an original but based on the same pencil drawing.

This is the original Lotus #15 offered on my Make 100 Kickstarter for 2025.

And the re-created original inking of #15.

This is the original Lotus #16 offered on my Make 100 Kickstarter for 2025.

The re-created inking of #16, an original of its own.

Stay tuned for more news about these re-creation and how you could own one.

Thank you,

Dominique

A Successful Third Kickstarter Experience

With two successful Kickstarter campaigns under my wings, I got confident and thought this third campaign would be smooth sailing. It was just as much hard work as the first two. I still learned a lot and got some procedures down pat but there are still a lot I don’t understand. However, I feel I am starting to really get the process. Now I will concentrate on “leveling” up my reward offers. 

For this campaign, I selected one of my favorite birds, the flamingo. They are so magnificent, from their graceful long necks to their beautiful color to their wondrous mating dance. I decided that black and white will not do justice to these great birds so I added color to the art. I love the color and I think I will continue this trend. Since I am still a bit hesitant about colors, the color added will most likely be minimal. 

Previous backers returned to support this project and a couple who backed my project from the very beginning. I sure do appreciate them. I now want to be able to offer more great art with color, but also keep some black and white for those who love my black and white ink artwork. I have a great idea for the next one that I will share a bit later once I finalize what it is I wish to accomplish. 

I hope you stick around and see what comes next.
