I find November to be a different kind of dark and bewitching month. Misty and grey with a crisp but potent magic in the air, it makes me want to seek out art that is eerie and mysterious. Caroline Jamhour is gifted in the ability to create both traditional art thats is so smooth and refined it could be digital, and digital art that has a rich texture and depth that looks stunningly and effortlessly traditional. The result is something deeply mystical and steeped in its own mythology.
In her digital pieces she is able to create a dark, but enchanting mood, utilising light and shadow in a way reminiscent of classical paintings. This works effectivly with her intricate use of textures to give her paintings an almost worn appareance which is further enhanced by somehow achieving a painting technique that is remeniscent of thick oils or acrylic. This, combined with heavy outlines and chunky dabs of highlight carve a very sculptural look in her digital work and an almost Art Nouveau-esque graphical look in her traditional work. In her colour palette, she often juxtaposes cool and warm tones, with blue tinted highlights often popping against a yellow base. However it never clashes, as the tones are all united under an earthy sepia tone that, along with the texture, fully evokes the feel of an old vintage storybook, particularly seen here above in her Two of Wands Tarot card from created for the Woven Path Tarot.
Sorry that it has been long time no see with the Artist Features! This year has revolved a lot around getting settled in my new flat and as such, I’ve been feeling pretty dry creativly, but I’m feeling very hopeful and excited about the new year to see where my art takes me!
My two new pieces are going to be on display at NOWT SPECIAL 21 along with some of my prints and a whole host of amazing artists including the talented Hana Wolhf and Laura Moon
24th-25th at the Anarchy Brewery
It’s always when I’m feeling really bad about my art, like I’ll just never be good enough, that someone will leave the nicest, most uplifting message in the tags of their reblog that I’ve ever seen...genuinely, please know that this makes my day, my whole week in fact! It gives me so much strength to keep going!!
about to join your patreon, but just double checking if I understand, the payment will be due jan 1st- does that still mean ill get the print you showed or will I get Januarys design? I really love the current one so I wanted to be sure
Yes! Although the payment goes through on January 1st you will receive that print when I send it out this month! I hope that clears it up!
In future, would people prefer I switch to subscription billing on my Patreon?
