acrylic anime art artist butterfly disney fairies fairy gesso gothic jasminebecketgriffith manga painting strangeling tutorial

My name is Jasmine Becket-Griffith, and I'm an artist.

I've been a professional painter working in acrylic paints since the 1990s.  You may know my artwork from my lines of merchandising, my projects with the Walt Disney Company, collections through the Bradford Exchange, illustrations from books and magazines, and especially from my website Strangeling.com .   Most of my artwork is in the fantasy, fairy, pop surreal, gothic and new contemporary genres.

A lot of fans, collectors, friends and aspiring artists routinely ask me about my painting process, how I work, what my methods are, etc.  Those who come to my live events and shows often get the opportunity to watch me paint in person, but for those of you who have not - I have decided to use Wattpad as a platform to show how I paint step-by-step!

This first tutorial will feature my work on a painting from my Butterfly Fairies series (a commissioned illustration for the Dynamics Inc. Visa Card company) - a piece called "European Peacock".  I will show every step along the way - from priming the panel to finishing touches.  Please follow my story here at Wattpad to receive each new chapter.  It will be serialized, with updates and photos appearing on a regular basis. 

Thank you so much for joining me while I paint "European Peacock"!

PLEASE NOTE:  Each installment has an accompanying photo!   If you are using the desktop/PC/computer version of Wattpad, the photo will be on the "Media" section to the right of the story when you scroll down.   To see the BIGGER version of the photo simply right-click your mouse on the photo and selecting the "Open in new window/tab" option.  If you are using the Mobile App version of Wattpad, you can see the photo by first tapping the Cover image at the top of the story, and scrolling / swiping through to see the photo itself.   Wattpad isn't a very visual setup, but the each new photo for each new update will show the next step in the tutorial (my paintbrush, mixing paints etc.)All Rights Reserved

Beauty's Tale by Summer Cheng by SummerCheng37

If you are reading this on any other platform other than Wattpad (or other platforms you're on) you are very likely to be at risk of a malware attack. If you wish to read this story in its original, safe, form, please just read it here on Wattpad as that where I originally published it as my own writing. -Summer Cheng@SummerCheng37 Lucy sighed. She was called beauty by all her closest friends. It was because she said to have the resemblance of the book and movie character, Belle. She tried to point out Belle had brown hair while hers was clearly blonde. It did no good. "Marry me, oh, fair maiden who has thus captured my heart." He said as he bent down on one knee. Lucy rolled her eyes in annoyance at once. It was the fifth time he proposed this week. Not counting the time last week or all the dozen times before that he had asked her. Lucy is nineteen in this story, but will soon be twenty, and Natsu is in his early twenties. Other characters are way older. Find out more in...Beauty's Tale by Summer Cheng. All characters belong to Hiro Mashima. The plot is my original one with some plot twists around every bend. So, hold on tight to your seats. There are few mature themes in this story so read at your own risk. Rated Mature for abuse, violence, and possible sexual content (this part has not decided on rather I will include this in the story yet or not). Cover designed in Canva app.

The Hooded Idol by LevyMcGardenyt

COMPLETED. EDITED. I'LL NEVER TOUCH THIS BOOK AGAIN. 🍋there will be lemony things in the later chapters I know it's long, but don't let that be a turn off. I suggest reading the first 5 chapters before you judge the book and decide whether you want to read it or not. I know you will enjoy it.💖 SUMMARY: She was a singer, a very famous one at that. She was idolized for her talent and her passions about beauty standards for women all over the world. Lucy Heartfilia was also called the hooded idol. They were interchangeable terms. No one has really seen her up close though. Her true beauty is a mystery. He was a teenager with a so-called celebrity crush. Natsu loves Lucy for her talents and everything she stands for. He thinks she is beautiful in her own way, even if no one has seen what she looks like under her hoodie and sweatpants. What will happen when the two meet in a strange circumstance? I own nothing but the story and plot. All characters belong to Hiro Mashima! All art and music also belong to their right owners. It'd be cool to own Fairy Tail tho.. ♡'･ᴗ･'♡ Rated M for Mature due to cursing and sexual themes. Also future Lemon and and smut scenes.

BLACK SWAN {Liskook} by SereneLK

"Mother, is it true that all the missing girls have been turned into swans?" little Lisa asked, her heart racing as her mother brushed her hair. "Indeed it is," her mother replied, a hint of melancholy in her voice. A chill ran down Lisa's spine as she thought about her soft bed, blanketed in the feathers of swans an unsettling warmth enveloping her. "Are they cursed like me?" she asked, her tiny hands fidgeting. "No, they are paying the price of your curse," her mother whispered ominously. Years passed, and Lisa often found herself haunted by those memories. The moonlight danced across the surface of the lake where she spent her mornings as a black swan, a creature caught between two worlds. Suddenly, the rustling of leaves snapped her back to reality. She lifted her gaze to see a figure approaching man, tall and striking. It was Jungkook, the dashing second son of the King and Queen. Was he here for a hunt, or had he come out of curiosity, drawn by the tales whispered among the townsfolk? "Are you perhaps the black swan?" he asked, "If you are, will you help me if I break a curse?" he said. The excitement and uncertainty bubbled within Lisa, sending her heart racing as she prepared to face whatever destiny awaited her. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- There is no 18+ content, but I did state the rating is mature due to some topics or languages that according to Wattpad are sensitive.

Once Upon a Time: EDITING by NylaraYtri

What if Cinderella were a mechanic? What if Snow-White were ugly? What if Rapunzel ran away on her own and became a magician? What if The Little Mermaid were originally human? This book contains a collection of twisted fairytales. So twisted are they that they almost reverse the original telling. No more waiting for Prince Charming! No sir, these princesses take their fates into their sensible and capable hands. Enjoy! ~ Nylara Note: The plot ideas are mine but some of the fairytales are loosely based on ones I've read but have not been entirely satisfied by or just wanted to revisit. Mechanica is based on the book "Mechanica", Blanche on "Mirror Mirror" the movie, Rebbecca is mine, Sapphire is based on the Ingo Series by Helen Dunmore and Freya is loosely based on "The Woodcutter's Daughter" and "East of Sun, West of Moon". Hope you enjoy!!!

I am currently working on rewriting the stories so that they are better quality.

Unicorns. Ah, yes such beautiful creatures indeed. Mystical creatures that dwell unseen in the depths of forests, unheard from for centuries. All in plain sight yet undiscovered as the human eye can not see them. Some time ago these unicorns where driven away and captured by an ancient fire elemental fae called the Red Bull. Yet he missed one tiny and naive unicorn that hid herself in the forests deep. Her name was [Y/n]. It was not long until she found out about her fellow unicorn's capturer. As she hid far away from the fae. She was in hiding. Suddenly one day that unicorn got hit by a black carriage led by ebony horses.

The Alchemist's Starling by ilovemanga2000

CURRENTLY EDITING "You belong to me - completely. I can do whatever I want to you, and no one can tell me otherwise. You're mine, Chisa Hatori; my little Starling..." I start sobbing, shaking my head frantically, rejecting the terrible truth. I thrash in his arms, trying to get away. Joseph laughs at my efforts, only tightening his grip until I can't move. The fingers of his right hand find my chin, forcing me to turn my head to the right. My blurry sight is greeted by his cool grey eyes, my stomach churns. He presses his forehead against mine - the mere physical contact has me shaking. "Do you know why the fae call you, The Alchemist's Starling?" I can't answer him... I'm lost in my own emotions. "The fae can sense you," he continues, "just as they can sense Alchemists. They saw your unique, purple locks fluttering in the wind when we went outside together - like the wings of a Starling. Of course, their kind adore you, and loathe us Alchemists. The fact that they cannot have you, makes them sad. Of course, because they saw you with me - they recognised that you were mine." Someone help me... Save me from him... ***** Chisa Hatori has had a hard life. Her father left, she watched her mother die, she was torn away from her sister and placed in foster care. Chisa is gifted; she has the Sight... and she is a Sleigh Beggy. However, she views her blessing as a curse, seeing terrifying monsters wherever she goes. Chisa has forgotten what it feels like to be loved, she doesn't want to live... That's when a certain Alchemist appears in her life... ***** *Sequel: 'The Starling's Secret' is now in progress 😊

I've found love-A Fairy tail FanFiction by ClarissaStar123456

A young girl with a dark past. Enter Yuri Sakura. I've been living in makeshift homes and forests for my whole life ever since my parents were killed for their money I've been left with nothing to my name. I have to beg for food and sneak on trains to travel, that is the way I've always lived and I'm used to it. Little did I know that my whole life was about to change when I decided to sneak onto a certain train that was heading to a certain city. Btw, I make up most of the cities,towns and villages I use in my FanFictions. I tried to use pictures that were somewhat similar in appearance. Just imagine all the pictures with dark blue eyes like the first one! It was hard finding somewhat similar images for my character :-(. Also I do not own any of the pictures I use in my fanfic. *I DO NOT OWN FAIRY TAIL IT BELONGS TO HIRO MASHIMA* COPYRIGHT ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 2016 AMBER SPRINGER
