The first art critique painting! Soon there will be a series where you can submit your artwork for feedback. For now, I have been inspired by the watercolour sketch of @lulu_art26889 in the second post ➡️ swipe right to see it. I have made some compositional adjustments and enhanced, build on the idea of the painting. I am still not sure, if I am going to continue adding more clarity in form of detail to the painting... I'll let future Andrijan take cate of that 😄

There will be an indepth analyzis of the painting, showing, what you as an artist, need to know about landscape painting, in particular, composition. For now, as said, this is just a little pre-view. I hope that this inspires you to paint on and keep practicing!

Today's my #birthday !🤯 Celebrating unusually with a still life painting of fruits instead of an cake.
Guess how old I am now in the comments 🤔🥳 this could be interesting 😅

About the painting:
The painting was done on A2 paper in croatia, while I was applying for art college, it is also the first still life I have made on paper or in colour in general, acrylic to be specific.

Tips for still life painting:

1.get the proportions & composition right, by blocking in the shapes with a mid tone ( I used an olive green), just tracing the outlines and adding in the shadows.

2.white is not white. If you have a white rag etc. In the composition, don't paint it all pure white. Safe your pure white for the final touches of highlight! Always dull the white a little bit down in hue.

3.paint in the masses first. By painting in the big shapes first, you get a clear image of how the painting is going to look later, ignore the small details at first, don't cling to them, they add to the painting but don't make the painting. The big shapes do!

If those tips where helpful, feel free to save and share the posts. Helps me out alot 🙂

A study I have made from some fruits I laid down on a small table in my small room in the small hostel where I am staying at in big Zagreb... the study was made with charcoal on DIN A2 paper. Yes I am stepping up the size of my drawings. This is my pre-work for my upcoming exams to get accepted into the university of fine arts.

Here are some hashtags:

It is the progress of how I drew a female nude with charcoal on paper, 29,7x42cm.

I block in the shadows to create the shape of the body and use the white backround as the highlight colours.

Monochromatic oilpainting created with the method

Monochromatic oilpainting created with the method used by Velasquez. By using 2 different kinds of blacks, one blueish cool black, vadykebrown and prussian blue and one warm black/dark using pure vadykebrown. White has been used to create the different grey tones mixed with the two dark tones.

Great excercise on painting tonal range, you should try it too!

What is your favorite medium to draw with?

Practicing drawing portaits everyday, you can only achieve resluts if you constantly work on it. I am just trying to get a good habbit down for me, since there are lots of bad habbits in our lives, we can always try and get a few good ones in there.

1/5 of my new painting series: ,,welcome to austri

1/5 of my new painting series: ,,welcome to austria" 40x50cm Oil on Canvas.
Thanks to the great @acryliclandscape_lk for using her reference photo. She is my supplier of photographic references for the series so go check her out too! 🙂

It has taken me a while to post this one, since I am not sure about the whole Instagram thing, but it is important to atleast build up one social media platform, so I am giving it my best shot.

This painting was a true blast to create! I once again felt the joy of painting with this great motive, I liked the composition of my reference photo that I didn't need to change anything. I might upload some behind the scenes or progression shots of my work in the future, would you like to see something like that? Tell me in the comments down bellow 🙂

I ran into one little problem, through out the whole painting it looked to similar coloir wise. That is because I currently have a limited palette of ultramarine- prussian blue, burnt sienna, cadium yellow, red and titanium white. So I figured that something is missing for the foreground. Yellow Ochre is the answer to all my problems, one of my favorite colours, of which I managed to find in my collection of materials.

This one took me about a week or 2 to finish since oil needs a few days to dry unless acrylic, which I don't use... that way, I have to wait until I can lay more detail over it. In theend it is alsways worththewait and every ne layer adds to the painting and to the learning expirience.

,,welcome to austria" is all about the beauty of the austrian landscape. It is created with the mindset to take you in and show you the beauty of this land. It is also my first painting series that I created.

,,Kira's Paradise", 24x30cm, oil on canvas, Andrijan Kovacic. Currently not for sale.

This was a fun piece to create, since it is the first #landscapepainting that I have done, including a human figure/person. I really liked the composition of the reference photo with the river flowing in a curved motion and the big hills full of trees surrounding them and keeping the river in place.

The leaves in the foreground add to the depth of the painting, since it pushes the backround further away, hence the illusion of depth. Always remember to have a less detailed backround and a more detailed foreground, since we don't have super vision, we can't see every detail that is far away, so why shouldn't we paint as we see?

Colour: I quickly wan't to scratch this topic, when it comes to your backround, because of the water molecules that are in the air, the further away the subject, the bluer it gets. Hence why you should use desaturated colours, it always depends on the subject tho, in this painting the distant hills are far away but sill readable as in reach, therefore I used a good mixture of titanium white with ultramarine blue, yellow and some burnt sienna. Titanium white and burnt sienna desaturate the colour and therefore I save myself the saturated colours for the foreground.

I always strive to capture an emotion, I don't want to just copy a reference image, it should still look realistic but in a painterly way, if I wan't a real image I am going to take a photo, if I wan't a story a feeling an emotion, I paint. Do you agree with my opinion? If not, why not? Tell me down bellow.

A study I made while watching how to draw eyes from the great @stanprokopenko ... I only have started out, so I am new to all of those human feature drawings. What are your thoughts?

I am currently trying to approach the loomis method, to try and get the proportion of the facial feautures and the general head right, I still have a long way to go, I apprecciate any kind of feedback.
I really don't want to just be stuck at drawing the same perspective over and over again, I always strive for change, improvement and knowledge.

This drawing is from my A5 Sketchbook and was made with several graphite pencils.

Happy Sunday folks 🤗🎨

,,Kocher Fantasy" 23x30cm, Oil on Canvas, 2021. Not for sale.
Artist: Andrijan Kovacic

Thoughts: ,,I startet with a simple drawing on a hike, of a scenery in kochendorf. Usually there would be a plot field where a farmer would have his crops beign grown. I decided to use my artist licence and change a few things. I wanted things to flow more naturally. That's why I decided to add a river, flowing through the middle of the painting, to add more interest and a dynamic feeling. Right next to it is a worn out path that is beign used, coverd by several trees."
