Forced myself to kickstart 3 paintings tribute guitar

[Hendrix]

Some of you may remember this VIP body I have show , 5 years ago? Nothing have done except  Heel Contour .

Also 2 Extra Light Weight Roasted Swamp Ash , buy one from 3 years ago another 4 months ago.



Why nothing have done for 5 years ?

Inside the mind of a master procrastinator MIX of Designer/ Artists / Engineers etc .

The problem is when you think about too much how make step 6 better, so you can’t have fix step 2, then step 1 never happened.

Then inspired by this guy , so just start step 1 whatever you feel inspiration now , then step 2 /3 /4 will come naturally. 

So here are the planing idea of 3 paintings tribute guitar / Jimi Hendrix , Lion Rock & Club 27

For better use my time when coronavirus outbreak made us home office and go out as little as possible.

I look forward to seeing you move forward with this. :icon_thumright:

 

[Hendrix]

First step is to lay down the dark background,  background is fixable, so just go experiment. Think about what to do on top of it afterward .

Step 1 : Play with fire and dye .

I’ve seen this in Japan.  They burn the outside of the house, cypress or cedar, and it makes it water proof.

yes , Shou Sugi Ban is from Japanese , the real traditional way to do it burn the wood to black and crack .

what I try is just very light burn to made darken wood grain soft and easy to sunken on surface. not real Shou Sugi Ban

 

[Hendrix]

As coronavirus outbreak that I can’t go China factory to use milling machine to do recessed neck screw ferrules sunken .

I need to find simple ways to do it .
I find the core Annular Cutter with some mod can do it by hand .

 

[Hendrix]

This is how it look after today sanding  ,  wood grain pop up:

 

[rgand]

That grain really comes alive. Nice effect.

 

[Hendrix]

Second dye / colour, I use painting water colour, another kind of experiment .

This is how it looks when wet

how it looks after dry :

 

[Hendrix]

For Jimi one , try to be psychedelic and purple haze ( the real thing look darker , and coatings would made it dark too )

I started to paint after dinner. I only got time drew the pants. The twists are that my acrylic was bought 20 years ago. Many colors are dry. Change to pastel and mix materials.

yo that's lookin super rad (rhymes with the movie super bad, remember that one? it was funny). but when you said kickstart i thought you were going to start a kickstarter for this somehow, but i'm glad you didn't cuz that wouldnt have made sense. speaking of, did u know there's a libertarian version of kickstarter where if you get money you just don't admit anybody helped you?

the Red pop up lot more in photo than real life , as I take photo in night time under video LED light , it good for video , but to vivid for DSLR .
