Original Creation

Study after Ivan Aivazovsky "The ninth wave"

Sunnylady 29 Aug 2020

This is study with guidance of Tatyana Zubova.
I would not get it done on my own at this stage of my knowledge.
Took me 4 or 5 sessions.
Main new thing I learnt here is glazing with linseed oil.
Color mixing has improved significantly with this painting.
Oil on canvas, 60by70cm

Another great painting. I really like your choice of colours too. I had to look up this original and read up on the description. I can feel the movement of the waves.

Thank you LJM! I am glad you liked it! I think photo is a bit on a blue side compare to the real thing. But it is alright. It was a challenge project!

Thanks Tom! Appreciate it. I recently come to idea that I want to have something connected to the life (not just plants what I mean) in my landscapes or seascapes. I still cannot do a person properly. So there is still a long way forward. But I am happy I am finding it.

Powerful!! I love this. Really nice work.

Froggie, thank you very much!

Another amazing seascape! I think this one is even more striking than your other one. You are definitely on fire lately. Keep it up!

@lightsnow. Thank you very-very much! you are so kind!

This is so beautiful. The lighting and colors are incredible. Great work!

@ForestVueGallery. Thank you very much, I am so happy about all these positive feedback.

@all: this is quite an interesting observation. Original in museum is on pink side with more hope, my original is on purple side with no hope, and photo is on blue side with unknown mood.

I love your sky, what colors did you mix to get the purplish color just above the water on the right side ?

@MHK, I would not remember this. This is glazing. Base was a bit like salmon pink, but then it was (probably? ) glazed with bluish purple glaze in linseed oil.

However I think you can achieve such mix through the Permanent alizarin crimson ( artistic W&N, PR177) and ultramarine blue (any brand) and titanium white (any brand).

I just checked dick blick has a good discount for PR177.
