A feminine act - as I painted

Image
Today I would like to show you my last  painting. This is a feminine act, without a title. -No title- I am very happy with it, so I would like to write to you about how I made it. First, I sketched the composition on a primed board. Then it was toned with the cadmium yellow. I shaded the figure with cobalt violet and titanium white. It gave almost monochromatic painting. I started to change the skin color. I toned the skin with a raw umber and a small amount of green gold and Indian yellow. I think that these colors create a nice contrast because they are their own compliments. The umber layer (yellow) placed on the cobalt violet creates a nice skin color - warm and soft. The hand is almost violet because I wanted the figure to unite with space. If you use umber or another yellow on the violet layer you can level the contrast and make the skin looks natural and interesting. The background was painted with mineral violet, umber and Indian yellow which gave a ne...

Spring all around

Welcome. Recently, time is not conducive to painting. Spring forces new duties, but also a desire. I am more willing and more likely to be outside than in the studio. But I also create. Gardens and pleasant places are also my passion and it is time for this. I will show you something today. Here is my picture, which I promised to show in the frame created by my husband. No17 - Rose Of Bones in Steampunk frame You admit that it makes an impression :) My husband wrote down and me too. More on this joint work on artmajeur.com

Bad days.

Hey! I wonder if you have sometimes a feeling like this? In spite of the most sincere intentions, everything is going wrong and even the simplest activities seem impossible to implement? I have it right now. It seems to me that I even forgot the basics like mixing paint or preparing a workplace. Someone would call it a creative crisis. I call it butthurt. I can't do anything about it. It must pass by itself. That's why I will not show you anything today. There are a few pictures on the wallpaper, but they have to wait for me.... And yet, after some thought, I decided to show you my old picture. I painted this painting two years ago. On average I like it, but my husband reali likes him. He likes him so much that he decided to make a frame for him. Well, I must admit that my painting in this frame looks great despite the fact that the frame is still unfinished. I will show you the final effect soon.

MaLen is me.

Welcome! Today it will be a bit biographical, a little bit about me and a little bit about Him. And although I do not like to write about myself in this way, but I was told to do it. This will be the first and only one time. M a L en is me. M a L en is my name in the artistic world. It was created from the combination of the first letters of my worldly name and surname. I have always had the scientific mind and soul of the artist. I used to write a little, poems and stories, but almost everything landed in a drawer. That was not it. very, very old times Then there was photography. It was better, I felt it. I found that I had a sense of composition and light but, obsessively searching for the perfect frame led me to frustration. In turn, simulating the composition and processing photos in photoshop did not give me fun and job satisfaction. Again, this was not it. However, the camera has become one of the important tools of my studio. one photo from old t...

My Studio, His Problem.

Image
Welcome to the new year. How do you feel? I'm fine. I know that you know only a litle about me for now, that's why He let me take one small step. He let me show my studio. This is where I create. I'm closing in front of the whole world and painting. But there are so many things that bother me. Starting from the cats that occupy my studio, end up with Him. Psss, wolf speaking, He is coming. I have to go. Soon I will write more.

Merry Christmas !

It`s christmas time. I like Christmas. Outside the windows I see snow and frost. At home, there is a Christmas tree and wood on the fireplace. He is also. I do not think he likes Christmas. Inspired by the festive atmosphere, I painted small pictures. About xmas.   He does not like these paintings. He ordered to burn them. I hid them. Maybe he will not notice.  He demanded something he would like. That painting! – he said. He ordered to hang over the fireplace for the christmas.   Above the fireplace hangs a picture he likes. The fire is burning images that I liked. He does not know that empty canvases are burning, And Christmas images hidden in box are yelling.

Let's start!

Hey,  I'm MaLen. I am a painter. On the blog I will put posts about my work and galleries with my pieces of art. He is sitting next to me. He tells me to write it. I write my own way anyway. I know I will be punished later. In one way or another. I will write about my work, about me and about Him. Over time, you will learn more. Let`s start!
