Description

:icondonotuseplz::iconmyartplz:

School project for visual arts. I had to get one more visual arts course to my upper secondary school studies, so I did one independently. There are just few art courses to choose in our curriculum (kerpeleen koulutuskuntayhtymä säästöineen </3), and I have already attented to the most interesting ones, so this was actually the only good way to get a course.
I don't feel like I'd have much to tell about the painting itself. A fun project to paint, even if I had some huge difficulties with this. I never thought how tricky it is to paint northern lights... I never seen them in real life, so I had to trust my imagination and some photos as a reference. :'D

This painting felt totally inpossible to capture in a picture (colours don't seem to be correct and ISO 3200 gives such a disgusting look to the picture...), so I can promise this looks A LOT better in real life. Somebody should definitely invent a machine that could scan canvas perfectly. I'm sure I would not be the only one who wants a machine like that!

This is painted on canvas (Lefranc & Bourgeois), size 41 x 33 cm.

Tools: Reeves and Artmate acrylics, different brushes (mostly by Daler-Rowney)

Hihkun vielä täälläkin, miten hieno tämä työ on. Ei sitä voi liikaakaan kehuksia. Tässä on niin paljon kaikkea mistä tykkää, eli friisi, yömaisema, vettä, kylmät värit ja ankarat valotukset, hyvin tehdyt häivytykset ja tarvittaessa toisaalta siistit selvät rajat tarvittavissa kohdissa. Lisäksi heppa on aika veistokselliseksi tehty, mistä tietysti pidän paljon. 8)

Tekis miel nähä joskus, millasta jälkeä saisit kustomoinnissa (pienoishevosia meinaan), kerta akryylit on niin hyvin hanskassa kankaallakin! Öljyväritkin tietysti toimii, jos haluaa niitä käyttää akryylien sijaan...
