Portrait of Autumn

Portraitof Autumn

Not-boring oil painting marathon

Two-day oil painting marathon

Autumn here — is not just a season. It becomes an image, a mood, almost a living character.

Behind the heroine's back, warm sunlight still lingers — the last touch of the departing summer. It dissolves into gold, ochre, flashes of red and orange, as if warmth is still trying to hold on.

But cool bluish reflections are already appearing on the face. This is the first breath of approaching winter — barely noticeable, yet already changing the whole mood of the portrait.

It is precisely on this contrast of warmth and cold that we will build our work: summer is still nearby, autumn has already come into its own, and winter is only beginning to be felt in the air.

Over two days, we will go through the entire path from building the composition and the first color masses to working on the face, light, reflections, hair, leaves and final decorative accents.

This will be "Portrait of Autumn" — a moment between warmth and cold, summer and winter, light and the approaching chill.

What the course gives you

This marathon will be a creative experiment for us. We will not limit ourselves to oil painting alone and will try combining several materials and techniques at once: acrylic, gold elements and oil. We will work with texture, transparent and dense layers, free brushstrokes, decorativeness and more subtle rendering of the face.

As a result, we will create not just a portrait of a girl in an autumn image, but a complex contemporary piece in which realistic painting merges with expression, gold and the almost abstract element of autumn leaves.

Back in 1996 my parents took me to a children's art school. That was how it was done - children were sent to learn to draw. But unlike my classmates at the "art school", even then I had made up my mind that painting would be my profession.

After school I went to a college of culture, where I qualified as a "Master Artist". It is the place where they taught me not only to paint, but to cross-stitch, to knot macramé, to model and to carve... In short, everything you can possibly imagine in the crafts was passed on to me there by experienced teachers.
