April’s Petrykivka.Part two

Most recently, I wrote a post about getting started in Petrykivsky style.
Today I publish to you the completed work.

April's Petrykivka-Part two

 

This is a photo of a completed work.
April Petrykivka is over.
I was fortunate through an all-powerful facebook to consult a talented artist from Ukraine HALYNA NAZARENKO

When I drew a painting, I asked her for advice. She advised me to put the flowers together in a wreath.
I made it.

Of course this is happiness when you draw Petrykivka.
Extraordinary impressions.
I just say one word-charm))
When you create a composition, you draw shapes, you sketch outlines with a pencil, you do not see the whole painting as a whole.
Then you color it in a tone. Then you amplify that tone. The color often wilts and you have to repeat it again.
It turns out multilayered oil paint.
I know that many people paint with acrylic or gouache on paper.
I paint with oil. This is my underscore.
After the first sketch of the picture, you give it a rest. The paints settle down and in the second time you draw an ornament.
When everything is already done, you shape the shapes of leaves and flowers.
Again you give shadows and backgrounds to the painting.
At the  end, you repeat everything anew with a hardly visible dark warm tone to match the color.
Again you let it dry week.
And then the most important time begins for me. When I highlight the individual parts of the flower or leaf. The most unique thing is that the main thing here is the movement of the brush. From the center to the periphery or from the periphery to the center.

Here I made a small video of the finished work and show it to you

 

Where you can hang such a picture?
You ask yourself a question.
,,Everywhere ,,-is my answer.
This painting is harmonious both in the bedroom and in the hallway.
It can be hung in the salon and in the kitchen.
It is compatible both in a large hall and in a small cafe.
It simply needs to either increase in size or reduce.

Parallel ,I was preparing for a Easter Fair about which I will tell today detaily.

I was given a small place to show my artworks. It was an unexpected proposal,which made me pull out .I’d review all my artwork created by me over the past two years.
I agreed to show up  just for one day. For that I invited my friends to stand together with me.
I had to draw at least a little something new to present them for the buyers.
Time was very short,only  five days.
I was very nervous

I had to show myself in the Ukrainian folklore style.
I have not yet exhibited in Toronto in this style.

Therefore, to look harmonious, I revised my old works and drew a large 24 “x 48” picture, which has perverse ornaments and helped to combine my work with each other.

Then I bought a pair of polished boards in Dolorama and also decorated them with the same ornament.

At last, I painted a small house for birds in the same style.

When the paints dried, I covered everything with varnish.
So I had 13 works of different sizes in the style of the Ukrainian folklore. They made from oil on canvas and were counted among themselves in color, images and components.

I mixed my artworks with different suverins and magnets to the wall.
Decorated with eggs and colored cotton.

Among our works was an ostrich egg for sale, original and painted.

For Canada this is a rarity. They do not decorate the eggs, as they do in Kiev, taking out the yolk and cleaning it from the inside. They draw on wooden or plastic mock-ups. Therefore, the ostrich egg had a furore and we gladly showed it to the buyers.

I was pleasantly surprised that the Canadians with interest bought our crafts and were interested in the works.
