Anemone flower

Happy Easter Holidays to everybody!

My new painting for today is Anemone flower etude.
This is a new variation (the previous Anemone painting).

I used a square format of canvas cardboard. The picture made in alla prima technique from nature. Two big and fully opened flowers on the pastel blue-greenish background. Saturated violet and ultramarine hues of petals make the flowers juicy and bright.



This painting fits to any modern and classic interior.

Still life with fish. Original handmade oil painted replica

Handmade oil painted replica. 30x40 cm.
Original painting «Still life with fish» by Luis Melendez (1716-1780).

At last I finished my new copy. This painting made according with traditional technologies of oil painting, using multilayer method.
Here are some photos of painting process.
Firstly I made a thin drawing with pencil.
Then covered canvas with transparent oil paint of warm brown hue. This layer named imprimatur. Sometimes it could be a colored ground, but I prefer to color a white ground.




When imprimatur layer dried, I blocked a surface with color, starting from background. On this step is very important to choose color tone and hue as close to original as it possible, because it’ll be a basic environment for the future picture.




Now I could proceed the objects. Mostly I focused on the form and color. I’ll return to close details later.


Secondary objects are also very important.


And at last, after surface dried, I can devote my time to detailing. Starting from the main objects: lemon, fish, front edge of the tabletop.


Step by step attentively and scrupulously, I filled a canvas, trying to keep as close to original, as I could.


And here is a result. I really enjoyed the process and happy to join in some sense to a glorious masterpiece of my favorite painter Luis Melendez.


Some close up details

Eustoma. Flower painting


Oil on canvas. 18x24cm.
These fantastic tender flowers called Eustoma, look like little roses and poppies at the same time. Matted petals have a soft texture and light violet color. Bright yellow core like a fire light in the heart of the flower.



Emerald green stems and leaves perfectly harmonised with violet tone of buds. Elegant and modest, the Eustoma flowers stole my heart, and I really liked to paint them.

Anemone. Flower painting

Oil painting. 18x24 cm.

The glamorous luminescent color of these beautiful flowers captured my attention from the first glance. Violet, ultramarine blue, purple and carmine shimmering tones are harmonized and look really unusual and magnificent. The form of Anemones remind poppies - large juicy petals and fluffy core with little yellow thrum.   Deep indigo shadows contrast with the shining highlights on the edges of petals. Emerald green stems and leafs perfectly fit to violet tones.



This Anemone painting could be a nice decoration for any interior.
