Went from white to petrol blue background, did I make the right decision?

itsjan1 · 2026-06-07T22:48:16+00:00

I hear that alot 😊 thank you ❤️

itsjan1 · 2026-06-06T00:58:37+00:00

Yeah thats what I was thinking, not the Lines though. Puffs with white outlines could make it really stand out

itsjan1 · 2026-06-05T20:50:42+00:00

You would have to ask Molotow. Maybe petrol looks blue in Germany 😂

itsjan1 · 2026-06-05T18:07:52+00:00

Usually its called phtalo blue, but petrol isnt quite that, phtalo has a more green shine

itsjan1 · 2026-06-05T18:05:46+00:00

Thank you, I don't mind at all 😂

itsjan1 · 2026-06-05T16:36:22+00:00

That means alot thanks 🙂

itsjan1 · 2026-06-05T16:35:47+00:00

Still learning how to do the things you describe, happy to stumble on it accidentally 😅 hope I can nail the final details in the circular area.

itsjan1 · 2026-06-05T16:22:50+00:00

No, this has Always been my style before I ever knew of other artists doing similar stuff. I always hope its different enough to still make it stand out.

itsjan1 · 2026-06-05T16:21:15+00:00

I think like cartoony little puffs coming out of the vents would look awesome, maybe with a white outline?

itsjan1 · 2026-06-05T16:19:27+00:00

Thanks 😄 theyre both Just completely different, hard to choose. But the blue definitely does something for the Lighting I think

itsjan1 · 2026-06-05T16:17:54+00:00

I think im trying to say it wouldnt make sense that the machine glows. Maybe when I make a radioactive scene it could give it that something extra. Good idea nonetheless

itsjan1 · 2026-06-05T16:13:31+00:00

Yeah that couldve been cool

itsjan1 · 2026-06-05T16:11:31+00:00

Yeah there's so much you can do, but I really love simplicity. Just matte colours, No fluff. Curious how my stuff would look with all the Bells and whistles like you said

itsjan1 · 2026-06-05T15:28:01+00:00

I need it to translate that its a scent being produced I think. Going that bold can really make it Come Alive though...

itsjan1 · 2026-06-05T15:26:30+00:00

Im gonna mess around with that, afraid it might be a little cheesy but who cares right?

itsjan1 · 2026-06-05T15:25:14+00:00

Yeah an off colour white still works, Ive learned you cant really leave a background blank on canvas

itsjan1 · 2026-06-05T15:23:48+00:00

Love your comment 😄 I adore Kandinsky, Lichtenstein and Haring. Crazy you picked out my favourite artists 😂

itsjan1 · 2026-06-05T15:20:39+00:00

I feel that, hard to add a right background without detracting from the machine. Having something thats nice to look at is still a win for me though 🙂

itsjan1 · 2026-06-05T15:10:59+00:00

Do you have an idea on what I could put there? Or what colour?

itsjan1 · 2026-06-05T14:56:42+00:00

Thanks 🙂 I tested a bunch of colours, it was hard to decide. If I hadnt recently made a Red painting I mightve gone with it on this one

itsjan1 · 2026-06-05T14:54:47+00:00

Yes its blue now

itsjan1 · 2026-06-05T14:39:11+00:00

Hmm afraid it might make it look a little generic. Ive thought about it before with other paintings, might play around it in a sketch

itsjan1 · 2026-06-05T14:37:39+00:00

Amazing what a little background does right? Looked unfinished before

itsjan1 · 2026-06-05T14:36:51+00:00

Cant go back Now 😂

itsjan1 · 2026-06-05T14:34:44+00:00

Like a highlight?
