M.D.N.A

The smart name for this post I stole from Madonna's (singer) page I like on Facebook. I am sure she does not care.
The girl is inspired by David Hockney's collage. I used news paper, magazines' pages, Brullov's and Rerikh's reproductions (that explain the richness of her coat, such coat I would like for myself too).
The eyes on the left are the alternative eyes I wanted for my girl. Unfortunately, they were refused and left on the windowsill.

"Visit Norway" Poster

This is the final view of the poster, which fate will be decided tomorrow.
I used  the photos of my drawings and arranged them in Photoshop, adding text in different fonts, adding Norwegian ornament for the background.
Nice experience. My first illustration and design experience.
12 things to do in Norway this summer:
1. Ohhhh, nature!
2. To see the wooden church.
3. To buy troll and to see the Norwegian cat.
4. To go fishing and to eat fish.
5. To get scared with Munch.
6. To feel Hardangervidda.
7. To fall in love with Bergen.
8. To drink beer in Oslo
9. To experience a ferry.
10. To learn about vikings.
11. To get surprised by Vigeland.
12. To love Norway with the deep of your heart and forever.

Sketches for "Visit Norway" Poster

Trolls, cats, ferries and green roofs. This and that of my Norwegian impressions.

Hardangervidda for "Visit Norway" Poster

The place is the plateau and national park in the middle of the route between Oslo and Bergen. I love it. Here my childhood wish to be a bird was reborn and my soul was singing.

Vigeland for "Visit Norway" Poster

Strange sculpture from the forest of strange sculptures of  Gustav Vigeland in Vigeland Park. Very productive master.

Black Background

This collage is inspired by the photo. I used a lot of materials here: collage, watercolor, black ink for the background, Neocolor sticks for the details.

Collage Study

I was watching the workshop video and doing the tasks from this video at the same time (link to the workshop in Russian is in the previous post of mine).

Say Hi to Your Deepest Fear

55cm x 55cm, Mixed Media on Wallpaper

Few days ago there was a situation when one of my deepest fears held my spine so tight.
I did not like it.
So I decided to draw this fear and when the paper was dry, I destroyed the drawing with all possible passion. Maybe the action sounds crazy, but I felt so good, relaxed and free at the end of the execution!

Collage

85cm x 60cm, Gouache, Paper, Fabrics

This gouache painting includes collage technique: pieces of news paper (toned with gouache), magazine pages (pictures on wall, wood texture on planks), cotton fabric and hemp rope (on top of clay jug).
The work was executed in my new drawing class in two sessions.

Almost Done

I was interested to draw aluminum box's texture and the state of almost spent package.
And I can thank "21 days of creativity" for the idea to add old newspaper as a background.

Girls, I can recommend this cream for your hands, L'Ocittane de Provence hand cream, very good list of ingredients in huge box.
