In drawing this work I used the technique drawing oil on canvas. The first important thing at all is to prepare the conditions in which the material we use will be tried in as many technical possibilities as possible. This means that we need to use at least two brushes, usually one wide, about 24 in size and one much more narrow for drawing details. To draw this painting, I used a 40x30 canvas that was already prepared or prepared, that is, each pad must be pre-prepared, lacquered so as not to absorb color, otherwise the canvas would be damaged after a while.
To clean the brushes, I usually use a glass with a lot of thinners, while in painting, I use olive oil, because I think it is the best. During the preparation, several sketches with different densities of the color used should be done, which should serve as a model for determining the color tone. It can be the tone of the subject that we are looking at, namely, we draw or some background that is around us, let's say the color of the floor or the color of the wall, depending on what we draw. In contrast to drawing with water colors, where the mixing of colors in addition to mixing on the pallet can be performed on the picture itself, since this technique requires the spillage of colors, I think that in the technique of oil on canvas this is a " two-edged sword", namely, it is better mix colors on palette. This part of the work should be worked with a wide brush, with a lot of thinner, while we use a thin brush to emphasize something, in this case, we will mark some important details. In this technique it is very important not to save on the colors, namely, the first layer of colors should be thin, but the next layer should be bold, so that the image gets on the look.
It should strive for shades of colors that do not just come from the object, but also from its surroundings, that is, from the reflex. There are some reflexes on every object that are not obvious at first glance. As with drawing, even when painting, one should try to find out the main characteristics that are being watched, as I have done here with the roses. If colors in a painting interest us, then they influence how the scene will look to us or what we see in it as the most important. This means that colors from the very beginning should affect the entire layout of the surfaces in the painting. Because of this, I do not draw the first precise drawing of the objects for these paintings, thinking of its colors and the shape of the object itself. First you need to see which colors stand out most in the whole scene and apply them with a wide brush on the canvas. As with drawing, here, too, the shape of the object should be determined by the development of the relationship between colors or the color distribution. This technique allows constant passage over the layer of paint, that is, the image can be made so that over the set main colors can be crossed again with colors and through that layer a new layer and so on.
In this text I will present my drawing of roses that follows the process by which the work was created. The process itself is important because it shows us the way of creating the artwork itself. With this image, I wanted to show the relation of light and dark inexplicable and given that white color here denotes the light, it is natural that I will denote darkness the color opposite to the first, that is, the one in which there is no color of light.
In addition to the entire drawing process, I also leave my picture with my work and a short video.
