Acrylic painting "Kopretiny"

Here comes my "traditional" acrylic painting (two paintings actually) of this week called "Kopretiny"...:). Finally something different than portraits... It was quite fun, especially the background. I was experimenting with acrylic thinner - you can see those red and blue tones in the background...

It's mostly decorative piece and ready to sell.

The Apple, small Grapie and the Universe

Name of this picture came from my little daughter and it´s not translated very precisely. It started as just Apple still life study but ended like quite nice painting. I was inspired by oil still life paintings made by  David Cheifetz (see previous article ) It was quite challenging, It´s not easy to paint the same thing with tablet and with real paint... :) nothing new...:)

The most difficult stuff here was the foggy/smoke effect - I´m not very familiar with using a thinner/gel.

Digital studies of "classic art"

I really like the painterly style of David Cheifetz so I´ve made few studies of his paintings. Not easy to fit the style, colors or the brush texture/work.

Anyway, it was fun and I would like to try it more often. Maybe also with my own still life and acrylics...will see...

Here comes my studies, half hour each....

Digital study of skull

Digital study of skull from reference...
Not very detailed, spent around 1,5 hour, just gray scale.
I was not focusing on proportions but on values and edges...

Acrylics painting - "Bobik"

Here is my last still life acrylics painting. I was using plush toy called "Bobik" as a model. It was my first real still life acrylics painting session ever...:) 

You can see the result below  + some work in progress pictures...

I would try to make it more abstract and more colorful next time.

Painted on 20x30 cm (A4) sololit (hardboard) witch acrylics gesso as a baseline. I was using regular pencil for sketch drawing, it is still visible in few places, need to avoid it next time...

The model :)

Next still life with toy

Here is another still life with plush toy. It was quite quick (30 minutes) session and I was experimenting with brushes and techniques. Trying to implement several lost edges (not sure if successfully) and also create a sense of depth...

Still life digital sketch - "Bobik"

It´s not so common for me to paint/draw with "real" reference and moreover still life... :)

I´m wondering about portrait of our "Bobik" toy with acrylics, so this was just quick digital sketching session to check possibilities...

It was basically just drawing and then I´ve added few colors.

The result is no real art, just a sketch, but I like it... maybe because I like Bobik... :)
