Good evening dear subscribers and active users of our site! I wish you all a Happy New Year 2024.
May all your wishes and dreams come true in the New Year. And today I decided to show you my new painting, which is called "The Wonderful Temple in the snow"!
I also made an animation with snow for a great mood before such a holiday. Snow is very rare in our Kuban region. I hope you like it too?
And I began to paint the picture itself, not from the sky, as I always did, but from the very building of the temple.
But now I see that it was necessary to work with the ruler. The fact is that I installed the easel with some bias and forgot about it in the process of painting the picture. and now I see that the temple is slightly tilted like the Leaning Tower of Pisa. I think he has his own charm in this :-)
... this time I wrote on a 55x45 cardboard.
And I used gold acrylic to draw the domes. I think it looks very impressive. Although you may have a different opinion on this matter?
Yes. Also this time I really liked how I got the trees.
In the process, I used different shades of blue, pinkish and yellow... In my opinion, it is the mixing of colors that gives a comparative effect in the construction of a landscape composition.
In addition, I wanted to show the shadow in some places, as professional artists do. But you remember that I am self-taught, I have not studied anywhere and I achieve everything by trial and error.
And this time I tried to paint trees in a new technique called imprimatur.
Imprimatur is a simple and effective way to create paintings and generally color harmony with a thin layer of paints, while the soil, shining through the layers of paints, unites them in a certain coloristic way.
So I first applied light shades to the trees and then only darker ones.
Although the imprimatur can be different. Firstly, it can be not only single-layered but also multi-layered; secondly, it differs in the number of colors and uniformity, also being divided into several types:
- One-color uniform
- One-color heterogeneous (at the same time, the paint can be applied creatively: where it is thick, where it is rubbed, and somewhere barely indicating some shade of color ...)
Therefore, I generally used muted shades on the background trees. But now you can see the difference, right?
And I really got the clouds. Anyway, all my friends liked my new painting very much. I hope that you will not remain indifferent to my art.
And as a result, the finished work looks like this. However, I wanted to add a cheerful snowman to the foreground in honor of the holiday. And then something has not been able to cheer up in recent days in connection with current events...
May the New Year bring peace to all of us on planet Earth.
Happiness, good luck and success in all our endeavors*.
Be healthy and happy, my dear friends and subscribers.
And I also resorted to the help of artificial intelligence, look what it has created for me :-)
Of course, I also made some pictures in a special mood program. And that's what I got.

Thank you for supporting me in my work! Your advice helps me a lot!
I published many of my works in this portfolio on the website "Deviant Art", and in General, during the year of painting, I drew more than 160 paintings, of course some of them are just drawings, so to speak, a sample of the brush :-)
But there are also good paintings that have received approval even from professional masters of painting!
Thank you for Your attention and visit.
I appreciate Your feedback and comments.
I wish you luck and have a nice day!
Best wishes!
