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 …….

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:

 

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

 

 

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.

Thank you

Christmas mood adjusts to purchase gifts.

Coming Christmas…..coming Christmas…..coming Christmas…..

Around New Year holidays, we all preparing for them.

It is the busiest days of the year.
We are planning new changes next year during this time.
Someone prepare  to travel, someone preapare home for visitors,someone just thinking something..

The someone celebrate in the family circle,someone goes on a journey,
someone meets with friends.
New Year is coming and everyone is thinking about purchasing gifts.

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…..

I congratulate you with the coming holidays…

Wish you celebrate the holidays together and give you warmth and love…

Beginning cold….

 

 

With the beginning of intense cold and snow, I draw a lot……

When it’s cold and heavy snowfall  it’s stop all outdoor activities.

 

When winter is started,the days are getting shorter and I wants to be carried out in a closed  worm room.
I’m working in the studio on RogersTV.
We shoot a few pilots for future programs.
I like to work the camera operator.

My camera is the most important in the work of our studio.I keep  studio guests in shoot.

Last month confirmed me in a good practice as a camera operator.I like my job.

Beginning cold…..

In the evenings at home I draw.

 

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:

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.

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:

🙂 a lot  ….. 🙂   a lot of  my favorite works……..  🙂

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.

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.

This woman inspired me to write my paintings

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.

 

 

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

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

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

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

 I show you her work:woven pattern of flowers

 

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

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.

I realized that I am able to stop…..
It just go, go, …. even running… and stop….

And I am not able to gather forces and run again, go again…….

You see yourself in this record?………..

Oh….
I am writing today not for you, I’m writing for myself 🙂

I have to recognize my strengths and weaknesses, and to fight with the weak

Yesterday, I stopped( maybe ….weather… or …sick…. or new ideas….cooking…shoping…walking…..friends…..family…..others things)
Today, I did not stop and run again!

Clock….. clock on my wall….in my room..
Clock on the wall teaches me keep walking…..never stop…
This ,,watch working ,,……and I hear:.,,Tick- tuck,tick- tuck….,,

I always hear them rhythm…,,Tick- tuck,tick- tuck………,,
And I understand that it is necessary to have been given so-smoothly:

,,……………Tick -tuck…… tick- tuck…..,,
