The post 3 Things That Make Street Art Unique appeared first on My Daily Magazine - Art, Design, DIY, Fashion and Beauty !.
]]>Accessibility: Art for All
One of the most striking aspects of street art is its inherent accessibility. Unlike artworks confined within the hallowed halls of galleries and museums, street art is available to anyone who passes by. Street art turns city walls, bridges, and buildings into canvases, transforming urban landscapes into vibrant, thought-provoking galleries.
Transience: The Beauty of Impermanence
Another unique characteristic of street art is its transient nature. While traditional artworks are preserved for generations, street art is constantly changing and often temporary. This impermanence adds a layer of urgency and appreciation. To view it is to catch a moment in time that might soon be gone.
Democratization of Artistic Expression
Finally, street art fundamentally democratizes the process of artistic expression. Without the need for gallery representation or the approval of art critics, street artists can freely share their work and messages with the public. This openness fosters a diverse range of voices and perspectives, enriching the cultural landscape.

]]>It’s a Fun Technique to Learn
Watercolor painting requires certain techniques in order to make it work, and these are super satisfying to pick up. Learning how to layer on the paint and use the water to move it around the page is a calming activity, and working out how to blend the colors to create beautiful swirls and gradients is lovely.

Once you’ve worked out some of the techniques, you’re able to build some incredible images. Blending colors and playing with texture can produce some serene and captivating art that will bring you a sense of peace.

]]>Technique Lays the Foundation
Many people in the creative field believe that passion and creativity is all you need, but this is so far from the case. In order to have a creative ground to walk on, you must have the technique to back it up. In order to compose a song, you have to be able to play an instrument. In order to paint a beautiful masterpiece, you have to be able to… well, paint.
Losing Sight
For some reason, many seem to associate technique with being robotic and cold. To be fair, it’s true that technique without passion can result in advanced, yet soulless work. However, that doesn’t mean you’re supposed to neglect the importance of technical skill as a result. The importance is to work on both, and find a way to seamlessly blend the two as one.

]]>According to her Instagram page, Rios started making her embroidery cakes in 2018. Her creations are as colorful and cheerful as it gets, but the story behind them isn’t as fun and offbeat.
“I started making these colorful embroideries because well…my life was going terribly and I was just trying to cheer myself up by making the most colorful, happy things I could think of,” she explained in an Instagram post.
Rios used her embroidery cakes to cheer herself up, and they now have the same effect on everyone that comes across them. She has taken the concept of food art to a whole new level by creating cakes that look so remarkably realistic that you’ll have to wonder whether they’re actually made of fabric and thread.
The realistic look isn’t the only thing you’ll find appealing about Rios’ creations. She mostly focuses on stitching together funfetti cakes that are bursting with color and have the power to put a smile on your face.

]]>Since starting her Instagram page @u.wanna.art in late 2020, Kunanets attracted over 140,000 followers, and she deserves all the attention coming her way. The rise of Instagram Reels helped her find viral fame because these brief videos managed to fully capture her step-to-step process.
Kunanets’ viral videos usually see her applying a thick layer of paint on canvas, and their color and texture make them seem just like real food. She mostly focuses on painting comfort foods we all know and love, such as donuts, waffles, pies, croissants, and everything in between.
Kunanets didn’t opt to focus on food paintings simply because they look good. Whether it’s a croissant from your first trip to Paris or a cocktail that you enjoyed drinking with a close friend, she’s a huge believer that food has the power to take us back to important moments in our past.
“Every simple thing, at first sight, carries information, association, memories, and a moment of ‘deja vu’. That’s why I draw simple things in these pictures – which you fill with your personal emotions!” she explains on her Etsy page.

]]>The post Repurpose Old Postage Stamps By Making A Vibrant Stamp Collage appeared first on My Daily Magazine - Art, Design, DIY, Fashion and Beauty !.
]]>Go for the same theme
One way to create a stamp collage is to find stamps that have the same theme—it could be butterflies, flowers, birds, or whatever else you like. Then stick them on a canvas, and you have a gorgeous piece of art.
Go for the same color
Another option is to select stamps that are in the same or similar colors to one another to create a tonal piece. An advantage of going for a monochromatic design is that it will look really visually striking on your wall from a distance. You can also have fun cutting your collage into different shapes and setting it against a colorful background.
Create a design
The sky is the limit when it comes to the designs you can create with postage stamps. For those more experienced artists, why not let your mind run free and try an elaborate design?
