I wanted to paint a new painting, fresh and new again
.


I got a present creative inspiration, drawing the mandala.
I transformed the style of the new filling Petrikivsky style.


My work style is characterized by two important moments:
I paint with oil paints on canvas.
I draw dotted strokes are ,not solid lines.

If you look good in the pictures, it is evident.


These changes give a different image of the pictures and make warmer shades.

One of my main drawing color is dark background.

I chose as the main image of the rooster.
That is  image of the next year,image of the  new  year, image of the coming year.

Like all of you, I wish it to be fruitful, peaceful and prosperous year.

 

My recent work reminded me of the old traditions.Lirrle comment about it……Ha-ha-ha…

Hahaha…my predecessors …… 🙂

 

In the past, women painted the walls of huts in the symbols of the coming year 🙂
I am a representative of the Women :), but in these modern times and I continue the tradition style.

 

Women today is not much different from their predecessors.

Very little change……Ha-ha-ha…
Well, just a little change…….Ha-ha-ha….

Are you interested in selling you artwork, here is a complete guide on Art for Sale.

What does Art for sale mean?

Today I want to talk about an important topic for the artists selling paintings and own artwork. We will discuss experience and modern trends.

The term of Art for sale refers to the sale of the executed works the artist –  painting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Aesthetics/Selected_article/14

<img src="art-for-sale.gif="art2016sale">

Art for sale: types and styles.

Generally, the sale of original artist work can be done in several waysSale of artwork of artists at auction, selling online,  sale  on exhibitions, sales in the galleries.

The classic option is to sell the artwork in galleries but this selling style has lost its popularity due to the advancement of the Internet. The gallery exhibitions are good that the buyer personally to see the picture and verify the quality. Another advantage is that one can see more works and get acquainted with the artist himself.

On the other hand, due to economy of scale, collective exhibitions have become very popular. They last for a week or more. The exhibition represents artists from one to many and presents a variety of styles and trendsIt is profitable for artists and buyers .

The most popular is selling art nowadays through the InternetThis sale is done through websites.Therefore, it is important for web developers and artists owners of websites to present accurate information, quality photos and exact dimensions. It is also very important to create a website to become popular.The popularity doesnt not dependent on paid advertising, but depends on the content. Site content and web design are also important factors. You can create a website yourself, can be used to develop a platform, and you can use popular sites like Amazon,Etsy,Ebay…

Here is an advice from 3 online Gallery Leaders http://theabundantartist.com/online-art-galleries/

I personally chose to present my artwork online because it is fast-growing and (and almost free) place to trade art. I also can reach wider audience of customers. The flexibility to plan your time and efficiency that’s all influenced my decision.

The difficulties Art for sale online

The first problem concerns the popular large sites like Etsy is very high competitiveness.

To solve this problem you need to learn online marketing and to learn more about how they operate. Certain websites help organize artist page but you need to learn how to use and operate. here is an example: http://www.webstrategiesinc.com/blog/five-biggest-challenges-facing-online-marketing

<img src="art_for_sale.gif"

 

Finally its important to note that its all about marketing and analytics. I want to emphasize that fast online sale is impossible. It takes time to develop and acquire buyers.

The style of my artwork

Today I will describe one of the styles in which I work.This popular style is called Petrikivka.

 About style of my artwork

Petrikovka is a ethnic style, popular in Ukraine.It said that many years ago, each ukrainian woman loving her house painted in this  style  his house wall.

Ha-ha-ha-ha…

I continue the tradition of my ancestors  already for 20 years  🙂
Really love  try  new colors and shades, changing the line and I love to draw cocks   🙂

I finished to draw this picture yesterday…..
Its size 11″x14′ oil canvas


 Inspired me this winter by the drawing  in the design of,,Petrikivskaya paintings,, the party paintings …….

IMG_1687_edited


Winter came powerfully and heavy snowfall….

Sitting in a warm room near the window, I will fill my paintings in blue and white….
This winter colors….colors cold .My paintings inhabit the area between abstraction and figuration.

I drew a  collection of paintings under the inspiration of winter evenings, intensive studio work, household chores and joyful mood in anticipation of the New Year….

This third work in this style.I can’t stop.I think about  upcoming holidays, I must prepare for it. I must clean the house.I must stop painting for holiday’s time.
I can not stop………

I’m keen on color tones and patterns.
Wants to create more and more
.

I will describe the technique works on a dark canvas.


It’s a hard work.
Often operate on a light canvas or paper and  by watercolor or gouache or acrylic.

 

I chose the hard way.
I draw on a dark canvas by oil paints.

First, I paint a white background canvas to  black color.I am waiting for it to dry more then week.
So once I prepar to 10 canvas.
Then I draw by pencil ekskiz future painting.

 

This pic shows how I created and painted my artwork:

style_atwork

 


I look  the works of famous Ukrainian artists, taking their example.
But I come up with my own style and pattern
.

 

style artwork

 

Then begin wonders      🙂     🙂
I draw a painting  on  one or two days.
A lot of energy gives the painting such artwork.
Then I wait two days to paint has dried up.
And after two three-day repeat layers.
Often repeat white
color.That color sensitive,white color disappears on a dark background.
I repeat up to three times applying white color.
It is necessary that the picture come brighter.
This is not seen on the canvas.

And….told about my small cute helper …..
I dry the painting in the room where my Chihuahua Cindy lives.
I land on the newspaper  on the floor and dry my paintinds here.
Cindy  during the night appreciates my creativity…..Ha-ha-ha….
I have several times found the image of the dog’s feet in my pictures   🙂
So it is she  signed…..
I washed them
….and painted again….

After drying I put on paintings Varnish to save colors from destruction.

 

 

I appreciate your feedback and I look forward to your comments, which will publish on the block page.

New Year is coming and everyone is thinking about purchasing gifts.

New_Year's_trend

A good idea to give a book us gift.

But it is not so popular this time…
This is a serious gift, …..capture people read your gift book.Today it’s easy by internet…


Another proposal, to give a picture painted by the artist.

It is a serious proposal too……shows the taste and inspiration.

And it’s good idea for decorating room… hangs on the wall the spirit of the artist….ha-ha-ha…I’m kidding…..ha-ha-ha…..skin of the dead animal…..

Unsuitable…..
………….as the smell of the artist and his mood…….
……………..handwriting artist and memories about  him……..

That’s better…..so it sounds better….
It does not offend my colleagues and me…

Gift in the form of an original work of art is a very nice gesture and a beautiful gift.
Such a gift is worth attention and remains in memory…..

Are you choose one from my paintings as a gift for New Year ?In my house a collection of my paintings was the trend of the year.
Of course, I will work to increase this collection.
Want it sold in the next year for the world.

To bring with my picture my spirit, my style and my handwriting  to you my dear friends…

Leave in your memory a piece of my style and my fantasies….

For this I work, I draw, invent, compose and implemented in paintings.
I give you this chance through exhibitions and through my website.

I give you the chance to buy my works

 

Encourage your family and friends…..

In the evenings at home I draw.

beginning-cold

 

I became more and more fond of drawing
I create different images, I look to the painted picture of the artist in internet.
I like the style of the abstract, but I’m not ready to paint in this style now!

 


Today I’ll show you what I did last week.

 


I finished work on two paintings in the style of painting Petrikivskaya painting:

IMG_1631 (2)

IMG_1556 (2)

11″x14″ oil canvas

These pictures have not yet put on the website in the main gallery.
I began to share the different pictures and not all put up for sale.


I drew, but still it is necessary to modify the picture with the presence Patali (improvisation of gold):

Patal it is metal,imitation 23 karat Gold.I use small pieces Patal from Simple Gold Leaf.

In this photo shows the application of  Patal on the  my painting.I create design.

IMG_1629 (2)

IMG_1630 (2)

This is my second painting  is more created with  applique of imitation gold.

It gives color and shine to painting.
I like this style.
It is similar to drawing on metal.

I plan to try this on a large canvas.


I started another picture in Petrikivskaya painting:

Exhibitions…..exhibitions…exhibitions…

Exhibitions….I love exhibitions…

I love to spend my time to visiting exhibitions.
I meet with the artists and organizers of exhibitions.
I come by invitation to the opening of the exhibitions.I get a lot of friends and colleagues at such events.

At the invitation of friends, I visited an exhibition of arts and crafts.

The exhibition David Melnychuk.

It happens…… that someone changes your life.
The meeting lead to different results:this cooperation can be either love or work or creativity.

 

I do not want you more weary and bewitch.

I present for your small film about the exhibition David Melnychuk.

 He born in Canada, a self-taught, almost all of his original artwork, he created himself…..

Absolutely talented artist…..I can not find words to describe my impression of his work.

He knows how to pick the right color for embroidery men’s linen shirts.
It is very stylishly stitched ,,surtuk,, and coats for men.
Such colorful ornaments on it created clothes.

IMAG4301
Enumerate his work:wood carving, embroidery, sewing outer clothing, painting on wood, making furniture, weavers, decorative applied art, paintings and panels manufacturing, fabrication cards and postcards, architectural proposals, decoration of rooms and windows, icons.

 

All this in one person .I am delighted with this talented master.next to a collection of his clothes are large chests, painted them.
Chest design repeats the pattern and color of the trunks, were produced in old Ukraine a century ago.
IMAG4304
 In this room, all done by his hands and he is decorate.

He is multi-faceted and extremely creative person.

It is very impressive icon of St. Michael,painted by him.

IMAG4310

I asked him how he manages to do so?

15283952_1836417769972357_8237481166898986382_n

Ekatherina Bilokur born December 7, 1900  w.Bogdanivka, Pyryatynsky district, Poltava province.Now that place ,that small town,where live my parents.

Ukrainian artist, master of folk decorative painting, representative of “naive art”…….I don’t think the same. This style from Ukrainian identisity and part of my culture.

 

Catherina Bilokur is a women stimulated many artists and expanded the verge of Ukrainian Art.

Catherina Bilokur famous Ukrainian artist.She dedicated her life to creativity and created a rich collection of fine paintings in the style of Ukrainian Art.

 

 

15400494_1836418326638968_4757624484666669391_n

My picture is very poor quality,must sees her pictures live….

15349713_1836418133305654_8516886007160580318_n

They fascinate  warmth paints , very clean lines and subtle drawing .

15420750_1836418289972305_1648551807297298373_n

Throughout her life she created and painted lot of amazing paintings.

15350475_1836418023305665_1709594536662003486_n

They are organic with Petrikov painting, famous  Ukrainian paintings and traditional Ukrainian folk style.

 I show you her work:woven pattern of flowers

15400388_1836418083305659_7134228952556139966_n

 

Her life was hard.
Her parents did not want to give her education.She very much and very hard worked.

After a hard day she sat at the easel and secretly painted .

Her life is full of suffering and detachment

15355820_1836418239972310_8345894273690550560_n

It was poorly life……. a lot of himself refused to be alone with her paintings in her life, which are scattered on the world’s most prestigious galleries in the world after her death….

 

 …. Happy Birthday,Catherina!Today your Birthday and I congratulate you .

Cathrina!Your creativity has carried your picture on the most prestigious museums in the world!
Your name lives next to your pictures today!

These paintings preserve the freshness of nature and the richness of colors.In the paintings  a lot of heartiness.
They give to audience joy and warmth shine.When to look closely to the painting, you see how they painted.Thin crisp strokes and polished drawings.Painting in oil on canvas.

It is very hard work.

I admire her paintings.
