This is my newest picture. Soft pastels on paper.
All fans of the witcher knows that season two of popular tv seria we will be able to watch on netflix from 17.12.2021.
To feel the spirit of coming season I painted something related to. Below you can see two images one with frame ready to hang and without frame – pure picture. Hope you like it.
As you can see picture shows three places: Kaer Morhen, The Tower of Swallow and Brokilon. Acrylic on paper (size A3), signature low right corner.
My big project is already finished and now you can see result of it.
I think it is enormous!!! It has 180cm x 100 cm, varnished and it is hanging on main wall in living room between two lamps. I look at it every day and I’m proud of myself I finished it and I like it so much.
Do you see some details which I added from previous time? Yes/no? Of course – it is third tree next to gate and people in windows. You thought it is abonded city? Suprise! – it is not, in this fantasy city people live and are happy – probably.
Some question which some people asked me about it and I am happy to answer it:
If you have more questions about this painting – don’t hesitate to ask.
All houses in the city painted, second arch painted even two trees appeared. Paints are on every inch of canvas so you can think why it is not finished yet? It still need some details which I decided and there were omitted in sketch.
Now I can tell that I decided to give up yellow paint as on sketch. I still think it is very good idea but I do not feel confident with my skills. I am afraid I can destroy effect which I already see. As I wrote some posts before big scale means every mistake is very good seen by everyone who is looking on it. What is more this project is made for home use and that means this painting will be hanging in our living room – everyday I will want to look at something nice without mistakes.
One curiosity – to paint two trees on first plan I used ear buds – it is also easy way to paint detailed trees.
Are you ready to see final effect? …. coming soon
The work is on… from left to right… – that means next step was stairs and more stairs and some houses.
Every day when I start to continue paint I see some details which need to be corrected imediately in previous stage which I thought was ready. These situations prolong time to finish my big project but they are also necessary for the success of this project.
Lots of time I spent with houses’ roofs because I focused on detailes of tiles.
Almost half of space on canvas was coverd by paints.
Next progress in my big project is the castle, forest and the bear – strictly polar bear. Bigger scale has a big adventage that all details is easier to catch. On the other hand it is also big disadventage when some detail is made incorrectly you can’t hide it. So every mistake is seen very clearly.
Forest was painted by using fan brush. I like it and use it very often. It is easy way to make nice trees. Adding polar bear gave a little of life to this picture. Don’t you see?
Stage two of draft which I showed you last week. In this one I added yellow colour in windows and lamps. Also reflections around lamps are little yellow but don’t know why my scanner didn’t catch it. Hmmm… I think my scanner isn’t very high quality.
This picture below is a first stage of a draft which finally I want to paint on big canvas. So I drew a fantasy city during night and a polar bear which is waiting for something or someone. All in graphite pencils on paper sized A3.
This is the newest acrylic painting. Picture shows stairs to heaven with a couple of lovers on them.
Acrylic on canvas 50×60 cm. Edges painted.
This is my newest acrylic painting inspired tv series “His dark materials”.
Below you can see an alethiometer known as a golden compass.it was special thing which could tell the truth to person who can use it. Only few people could do it. In the background you can see aurora which also is connected with this tv series.
I also saw a movie “Golden Compass” and in my opinion tv series is more interested than the movie.
Used media: acrylic painting + black marker. Picture painted on paper size A3.
