Primitive II – IF
April 20, 2008 IF, digital illos
Back to Nature | Digital
So, ok, my first ‘primitive’ painting below was a bit too primitive. Here’s a not-so-primitive one. Done in AI, 2 hours, fully vectors.
You know, sometimes it’s good to go camping and stay away from the complex modern technologies.
I’m going for a short holiday to Port Dickson (Wed – Fri) and hope to find nature at its best but of course, I’ll bring along my complex modern gadget: the camera, with me. My old primitive brain can’t capture much these days!

Awww… I’d love to be there. What a wonderful night!
Both are great and very different. This one seems more cozy than primitive. But it reminds me of the wonderful camping we this weekend. (I visited Malaysia, Penang, a long time ago on Semester at Sea. It was sooo beautiful.)

It does’nt matter what kind of medium you used for your art, is always plenty of joy, positive energy and so much feelings.
Bellissimo.

With a little bit of practice, trial and error you’ll get better. Thanks for dropping by, Dot!

[...] It is contrary to every principle in the art world, and yet many of today’s artists are relying on some of the principles of naïve art. For instance in naïve art color is not shaded or used in hues, it’s generally applied directly without much mixture. It is known for it’s almost stick like figures and strong colors. It is so different and much simpler than regular art that, many artists have taken qualities from this charming art and integrated it into their work as you can tell by the work of Emila Yusof. [...]
very nice.. love the colors and the way it is done.. very sooo nice.. my favorite..
