Nina – 12-10-23 Painting

First Oil This oil painting ‘Nina - 13-10-23’ follows a prestudy I made last August. As stated before, she is a great model with a gorgeous body. I feel honored to draw and paint her. This is the first oil I made of her and I hope you like it. If you like both the painting and the model you can visit her page on deviantart. Perhaps you will even recognize some motifs I used for my drawings in the recent past. Enter the World of Color Abovemeant prestudy I rendered in a style one can typify as a hotchpotch of cubism, roundism and solarisation. Worth mentioning is the challenge every artist faces to come up with something coherent in every new painting. An idea can be processed into graphite very easy, at least that’s my experience. Putting it into oil sometimes proves to be a tall order. Enter the realm of color. It’s a world in which relations between colors are never fixed or form predestined succesful combinations. Normally you can easily be inspired by colors you see during a live session. Tweaking a reference photo thereafter is also possible. If you subsequently solarize a motif then it’s opening up a can of worms though. Solarization You see, applying solarisation isn’t very difficult. It’s a matter of inverting some tonal regions whereas you keep others as they are. This doesn’t apply to the realm of colour though. In fact, color and solarization don’t match really. They are a world on their own, I think. Throwing in a color scheme almost immediately will cancel the solarized look. Perhaps that is what I wanted but it delivered me exciting yet unexplainable and inconsistent new planes. Oil on linen (60 x 80 cm) Artist: Corné Akkers
