Red earth

The painting is completed. Here’s the video which describes processes in this piece, namely folds, background and pattern.

My first idea was using gold leaf but during developing the idea I change my mind and just painted pattern as golden brocade. The thought that I’ve bought recently 10 golden sheets for no purpose and keeping in mind that war is still going on, the thought makes me disappointed. However gold doesn’t rust so maybe it become useful in next piece. So enjoy the v...

Set of 10 gouache sketches

Here is next set of 10. While I am working on new peace I continue create new gouaches, I guess that type of my activity is the most creative of things that I have been working on. Although temp of prodaction has decreased.

Currently I have electrycity two times a day, in early morning and four hours from 5pm to 9pm, obviously russia was efficient at its genocidal actions.  Four hour of electricity is the period of my live where I put in all duties including checking emeil, respond...

Breath of autumn. P.1

Eventually I have got the chance to paint and here is the result. I divide the process of working on this composition into two parts. In the first, I will demonstrate the process of painting the body. In the second, I intend to show the work on the fabric, that is, folds, gold ornament and glazing. Regarding the background texture, the execution technique will be the same as on the previous "August Sand", see the previous video (2022-11-13 10:48:06 +0000 UTC View Post

The third set of 10 gouache sketches

Another set of gouache sketches. At the moment I have 51 sketches and of course unfortunately not all are equally successful in my opinion, so I don't post them all.

I am currently working on a new oil piece , but the last two weeks have been quite difficult, so I have not been able to return to work for a long time. First of all, it is already autumn and daylight has become much shorter and I am not in my Kharkiv`s studio where I could work 24/7.  Also, the frequent lack of Intern...

From digital sketch to gouache

Video about the creation of gouache 50x50 cm in size. The idea for this piece was a digital sketch that I created in 2020 after arriving from the Carpathians. The work is called "The First Snow in the Carpathians", it may seem strange that the snow fell when the leaves had not yet crumbled, but this happens.

The video consists of a small video of working on a digital sketch and actually working on a painting. Since this time the gouache is quite large, I decided to stretch the paper o...

The second set of 10 gouache sketches

Here is the other set of sketches. Currently, I have 47 sketches and 20 of them are already here. Seven of them I have not showed it so hope you are enjoy it.

By the end of this month I will have upload new video process.

thank you.

New piece

August Sand

35x40 cm., oil\canvas\dutch gold

2022

This is my last piece which I have completed recently. Photo in good quality below, you are able to download it.

Oil mixtion

I realized from your questions that I skipped the glue for gilding. Sorry for that. Usually I use oil mixtion for gilding. I consider it as the best stuff for gilding and I highly recommend it. It is 3 hours oil varnish. What does it mean “3 hours” ? it means that you are able to put gold on top of this mixtion ONLY 3 hours AFTER you applied the mixtion. Not earlier.

Hope you like this mixtion as I do and this information was helpful.

Thank you.

Gilding and texture

Glad to greet everyone on the first day of autumn. I said that I would upload the video at the end of last month but technical problems ruined my plans and sorry for that. One day late is not so bad, on the other hand I could done all processes right as I planned.

From process of this work I will show only the work with the background and textures. Gilding and texture is the name of the video. So for gilding, I took not real gold, as always, but an imitation of the so-called Dutch ...

Thank you for watching and supporting this channel.

Gouache sketch №28

This is my 28 th sketch. Truth be told , I didn't plan to do so much, but in the process I liked it. Now I'm thinking about what it is possible to try acrylic. I did not appreciate gouache, but this material has its advantages. Most of all I like the opacity of the paint and the fact that due to the fact that it is water-based, new interesting textures are obtained. And if gouache can be washed out with water after drying, which requires special storage, then acrylic, which has...

Gouache landscape

Three months later, I was able to record videos again and continue to post them on patreon. Yes, I must admit that not everything goes as quickly and easily as I would like and I would like to upload videos earlier, but the circumstances of the war are affecting.

However, lately I have been productively working on a series of gouache landscapes. Now I can afford to work with oils, but I liked it and I will probably continue to work in gouache technique. In the n...

Wreath of victory

I can't paint with oils right now, I talked about this in a previous post. But luckily I took my iPad with me. I have ideas and I decided to sketch ideas with the hope that someday I will be able to draw them on canvas. This video is an accelerated video from the iPad. I understand that this is not what is described in this tier. but that's all I have now.

This symbolic picture is called the "wreath of victory". This wreath is woven from viburnum flowers. Viburnum ...

Current situation

First I want to thank everyone who subscribed to this account. Your support is very important to me right now. On February 24, Russia attacked Ukraine. Unfortunately, the city in which I lived for the last 16 years was one of the first to be shelled. At half past five in the morning on February 24, I woke up from rocket explosions and within an hour I left the city in my car. We had a premonition of this war, as the situation had worsened in recent months and I knew that Russ...

New pumpkin still life

As I said still life especially still life with pumpkin is one of the pleasure process of painting. I stated my career with pumpkin still life. Maybe because I need a changes in my way or just to switch my activity I decided to paint something old and understandable. Without glazing, gold and textures just painting from imagination.

Currently I almost have done this painting but let be in two videos because I need to finish and secondly it would be too long video. So the finish part of...

Texture. Dried grass.

In this post I want to show the process of making a texture that I used in some of my work. This texture can be called dry grass. It can be done in any color scheme, but keep in mind that the higher the tonal contrast between the grass and the ground, the more expressive the texture will be.

The process consists of three stages.

1. Base. Applying the grass itself with light paint on a dark background. The paint must be sufficiently liquid and opaq...

Compilation of paintings that I have made in this year. Part 2.

Thank you

Compilation paintings that I have made in this year. Part 1.

The last post this year I decided to create from my works painted this year. Unfortunately, I can't boast of a lot of work and often I feel unproductive. This year I painted 19 paintings of different sizes. Eight of them were painted in the studio , these are paintings that I developed in sketches and painted using fairly complex techniques. We can say that those are studio works. It took me about 10 days to create the smallest "Starlight night". These paintings take much more time and e...

Two figures.

Started painting. This time I started working with the background, as the background color greatly influences the color of the figures. Unfortunately, I had problems with the camera, so the entire process of the first figure could not be captured. But the process of the second figure is showed in sufficient detail. In the next video, I'll start working on the main center figure.

Thanks for the support.

New figurative piece

EN

Finally I started working on this composition. I can’t say that I have been hatching this idea for a long time, but lately I have acutely felt the need to draw something big with figures and without gold. I like to use gold but it requires a special compositional structure and in this picture I just want to paint a few figures and more trees. But even such a not intricate plot requires composition, and the more participants the more difficult it is to make this plot s...

Golden decoration. Brocade.

the video is dedicated to the ornament made of gold threads. Brocade. On the example of the last two works, I show the process of creating brocade in close-up. This decorative element impressed me for the first time in the works of medieval painting. Although the paintings of subsequent generations of this decorative element are also not deprived. You can conclude from this video about the simplicity of execution and at the same time the effectiveness of this texture. I hope this video ...

Retouching varnishes

There will be technological information today. It's hard for me to say how interesting this information will be, but I have no doubt about its usefulness.

For quite a long time I have been using dammar varnish as a retouching varnish. Basically , this is not a bad enough as retouching varnish, but using it I experienced some discomfort. it gives good adhesion, which is good for adhesion to the next layer of paint, but this stickiness interfered with the applying of the glazing and t...

New piece from the beginning.

Recently I started to experiment to find the best retouching varnish. The result, in principle, met my expectations, although it was not so obvious. But I will reveal this topic, process and result at the end of the month.

At the moment, I present to you a video of the beginning of a new painting . From sketching to painting. I have already mentioned more than once that I carry out the preparatory work for the paintings on a IPad Pro , which greatly simplifie...

Golden hair

Golden hair from start to finish. I did not shoot a video about gilding in this picture, since I used imitation gold. But I dedicated this video to creating hair.

I have already described this method in previous videos. The gold surface is covered with tempera and then scratched with a rod. if you do everything as shown in the video, then everything will be fine. Hope you enjoy this video. If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask.

In the next video, I wi...

Folds and golden ornament

This video describes the process of creating folds in fabric and gold ornamentation. Thus be told, the first version was not good in my opinion, so I erased the folds to a white canvas and started over. I only show the first version, since the last version is technically identical.

After drying the layer, I applied the ornament, in my opinion this is the most interesting part. I hope you enjoy the process and the video.

Thank you.

New green piece

The beginning of a new picture. I have a very tight deadline for this picture and it affects the process of work a little, but I have to cope, since this is not the first time.

As always, I start with the process of drawing a shape or a head, so this video will be about that.

In the next video, I will combine the work on the golden hair from the two paintings, since the processes are similar but the paintings are different. it will be a great option for observation.

Glazing on top of gold

🇬🇧

In this article, we will only talk about one piece , since in the last one I touched on two pieces at once and the article turned out to be too long. Now I am worried that it is difficult to read.

So, at the end of the video, you can see two photos. With a dark photo, this is the stage with which I started the processes that I will describe in this article. The second photo is the piece at the end. I put them just for comparison.

The first step was t...

Two methods on two pieces

In this video I will analyze two methods of gilding in two of my paintings. I have not found names for these methods, so I will call them oil gilding and assisto. Rather, I found it only for one and I'm not sure. One method is to create a gold spot and the other is to create a gold line. I want to say right away that in these two works started, the gilding process did not go according to plan. Therefore, I had to change the method of creating the golden lines. But everything is in order...
