Flat sculpture on canvas

[krysta11]

Hi to all,

This time I decided to make my picture in completely different way then previous.
This is a flat sculpture on canvas. It was a lot of work, which mostly was done at night time.
I used my own hair for horses tail and will add opal rocks and some small real rocks
ought from Mt. Kosciuszko in Australia.
It is painted in acrylic but I have intention to repaint it. It will be my first oil painting.
I would like to hear from you what you think about my new work.
Thank you!

Hi John,

Thanks a lot for your words.
Yes I am still working on this . Never painted with oil and I am a bit scared. Need to wait till next week to be sure that everything on the picture is completely dry.
I am sure , that it will take me weeks to
ing my work to perfection.
I am ready to try. If it will not turn nice I'll burn it in my backyard .

I like the reliefed part. How did you do it Krysta? Did you use gesso or something else? It's cool.

Krysta, what an interesting piece you have here!

Don't let the oils worry you. You have a lot of flexibility with them since they don't dry quickly.

Keep up the great work!

I love the horses face! Let us know your oil painting technique...I will be anxious to hear how you approach this.

Thank you E. !!

I am still working on this one. In acrylic it is finished but I want it in oil.
Very hard painting. I used the same material I used to make my birds.

Hello Rich,

I am telling you my friend, I did put on myself a very difficult task.
It is very exiting work but lets hope I will not end up in mental hospital.
These details are killing me.
Next week I will start with oil.

Hi Michael,

Thank you for looking at my work.
As you know, I know nothing how to paint with an oil paints.
I want this painting rough, thick and beautiful. I',ll go with a palette knife for sure. I also will use the
ush for the sky and background, Foreground with knife,
Cross fingers for me, please I want it nice when finished.

Hi Krysta,

I like the movement and expression in this painting. I'm also looking forward to watching more texture being added. How cool is that that you really put yourself in it (with your hair)!

I love oils, they do take some getting used to but they are fun. Enjoy and have fun with it.

Hello Julie,

Thank you for your wonderful comment here. I finished my painting in acrylic. If I will achieve similar one in oil I will be very happy.
I did change his hat. Both are corrcet but this one is much unique and colorful.
I am going to continue my work on this piece next week.

all the best J.

K, the picture changed a lot from last time. You did a great job overall, love the relief part and the sky got better and your colours are vivid as usual. It's great that you've found a way to integrate your sculpural past here. It would be interesting to see an entire canvas covered with the relief technique.

[krysta11]

Oh my dear friend E.,

Thank you so much for your comment. It is very important to hear, what artists like you, think about my work. This particular one is not an easy task for me. I think it doesn't look bad for the first one in my new tech.

Maybe in the future I will cover whole canvas with the relief technique.
Thank again E.

Hi Krysta,
I'm so sorry I haven't been here much lately , and had missed this painting before, my apologies my friend.
I think the texture adds alot to this painting, which in itself is colorful and full of life.
I'm happy to see you stretch your artistic wings and try new subjects, textures and mediums! (Great job on the horse! )
I love your usual colorful renderings and this is no exception. Love it!
Once again, I must apologize as I do not know what you used for the texture as I don't know what you used for your birds?
Can you post the link, I've missed that too
looking forward to your attempt in oils!!!

Hello Barb,

You must not apologize to me my friend. I knew, sooner or later, you will have your say on my work here.
Your comments are always so gentle and nice , that sometimes put tears in my eyes. I am very glad you appreciate my art and big thanks for that dear B.
I am not working on my sculptures anymore. It was very long time ago.
I used mixture of aquadhere joiners wood glue with cotton . I even melted shopping plastic bags + wires to form skeleton of some birds. It sounds crazy I know but I tried to save an environment to save my beloved birds living around us.
I will upload few sculptures to my gallery and you are very welcome to look at them. I gave a lot of them away. Only few left.
Thanks again Barb for your input.

Krysta, this is a fantastic piece for a first time oil painting, oils are truly fantastic and with patience and a bit of time, they are great to use.....I think your bold colors add to the sense of motion in the piece... I think the relief is a good effect and would be interesting to see this more in other works. Don't leave the oils but if it helps, you can paint an image with a base coat of acrylics, then paint over areas with oil....it's fun to play with.....also there's a golden rule with oils and that's to work "fat over lean" I'm still getting used to it.

Hello Linda,

Many thanks for your comment.
I am still working on my painting. Oil is very different medium than acrylic.
I am not used to this yet. Very messy . I painted my own hair and even pillow not knowing at all how I did it.

Thank God you are back sweetheart! Need your opinions very much.

Very soon I will show what I have done with my Kosciuszko.

I hope nobody will laugh at me. I agree with you. I have fun with oil paintings. It is much harder for me than acrylics and very messy too. The picture looks better I think. Very different work.
Thank you William for looking and commenting on my picture.

Can't wait to see it. Keep plugging and playing with the oils. The more I work with them, the less I want to go back to the acrylics, although I'm sure I will use both one day. The oils are great when you want to blend the paints for more than 30 minutes, although, being used to acrylics, I find I often fall to using acrylic techniques with the oils, and it doesn't work too well.... looking forward to seeing what you do.
