The Three Graces
I am an amateur painter, when I'm not busy tinkering in the world of cryptocurrency. I have had positive feedback on my work and would love to CHALLENGE myself to deliver a new painting in similar and various styles weekly, detailing my technique and answering questions, if there is interest from the community.
I JUST finished this one a couple days ago and let it dry. The illusion of movement was created using Invented Form common in Expressionism popular in the early to mid 1900's. Similarly, other popular Expressionist techniques I employed such as swirling, swaying, and exaggeratedly executed brushstrokes, can be in the above depiction of the three stationary figures. I find that using these particular abilities to build the piece is the most striking and effective form of accomplishing the creation of a work of Expressionism.
Knowledge of these talents allows the artist, as is standard in the Expressionism Movement, to convey the turgid emotional state of the artist reacting to the anxieties of the modern world, as well as depicting the artists' personal internal flow of emotion in order to appropriately portray their stream of conciousness that is so characteristic of the Expressionism movement .
I would love to hear any critiques or suggestions, or really anything that makes me a better painter, is more than welcome.
Thank you very much for taking a look, I hope you were able to enjoy it.
