Painting on the page of an old local newspaper. π
Hello hivers, an happy Friday to you all! The weekend is just around the corner and today a pale Sun is shining on the sky, but it's really cold and so my furry friend Richy, after his "breakfast", he looked out for a couple of second and he came back to sleep to his warm warm blanket on the sofa. π
About myself, I drank my first cup of coffee of the day (I use to wake me up soon in the morning) with a wool blanket on my shoulders and my wool socks on my feet, thinking about myself like an old old woman who have to protect herself from the cold weather. π
Yesterday in the afternoon there was a lesson of the art class inside our lab room (my hubby @paolobeneforti teaches art to his students 2 times at week), but the students are more than usual and there was not enough space for me, so I worked on a new painting on the table in my kitchen. This time I started with an idea in my mind: to use the pages of the newspaper I used to clean my brushes while I was working on my artworks in the previous days and, in the following pic, you can see the final result:
Even if is just a sort of exercise or prototype, I like the final result of this piece and I'm thinking to paint other similar ones for a new series of artworks painted on different page of local newspaper.
To paint it I used my oil colors and, like I use to do, I took some pics while I was painted it so you can see the process too from the start when the page of the newspaper had just the signs of cleanings of my brushes :
I hope you like it!
See ya soon and stay safe,
Silvia

The exercise painting you work in the table of your kitchen is nice, looking forward to see that kind of painting.
Can you tell me more about this painting? I mean I can see that you have a unique style. Wanted to know what it's about :)
Yes, I have my own illustrative style and for this I just left my hands free to work. Usually I don't work with a meaning for my artwork in my mind, I prefer to clean my mind while I'm working and to give the freedom to find a story behind the piece to people who watch it. ^_^
I see and I guess the story changes based on everyone's perspective :)
Thanks for explaining βΊοΈ
Espectacular, estilo collage.
Muchas gracias ^_^

I really like the transparency of the print allowing the newspaper to come through. As always, love it! β₯
Thanks so much, dear @sunscape β€οΈ
Just amazing!ππππ
Thanks ^_^
awesome... i sometimes find those unexpected brush cleaning paintings can be even better than what i was painting. Last year i did a mini abstract painting for every main painting i painted. so i had a small canvas where just brushed off the excess colour from my brushes.
they made some interesting little pieces. and because they were not really forced, they turned out great.
i love the effect of the newsprint!
awesome
