Digital Art






After going all the way to Saudi Arabia, to buy a year's supply of canvases for my painting sessions, I discovered that I could do things much faster on my computer, and it looked prettier. If it didn't, I would simply click close and then not save. No brushes to clean and no palette to scrape. The following are my creations of the past week. Addictive.

Good stuff! Show us more of your art, this is a first for the Bahraini blogosphere! Regardless, I like your work and wish to see more of it please...

It's interesting you have to go to Saudi to buy your art supplies, do you (maybe like me!) find Things-to-Do too expensive?

Can you share with me where you exactly go to in Saudi to buy your stuff and why?

Hi Mahmood, thank you :) I get my art stuff from Jarir Bookstore, loads of canvases for a fraction of what they cost in the "art stores" in Bahrain and ten times more variety and sizes available.

I will take photos of my "real" art and post it on the blog soon. I haven't exhibited anything yet. I don't feel ready...

I'll be more than happy to be your manager (for a small fee we can discuss over lunch)- I'll deal with the crowds and you can focus on your art. I'll probably steal one or two for myself at the same time too. Post some of the real ones, especially those of women- as nice as these ones are, those are much more engaging.
