The main purpose of this is to show for you my works.

I am not a professional, long ago i place it as a hobby.
( I need to survive

)
So i am with Rights, that i love too.

Anyway, the link above is an Art site, where the ppl can post their works and there is a comunity doing the same. I decided to post the link instead of the images here cause they are a bit heavy.

My Gallery - This one is my galery, there are 4 images(1 foto). Click in the image to get it larger, there are some comments. And click again to get it to giant

My page - This is my page, the only thing interesting there is to look at the ppl that i selected as favorites... by click in the "more favorites" you can see very nice works that were posted by other ppl.(in my page you can acess my gallery by link too).

As you ll notice i am a bit classical, conservative in art... i hate

. But i am doing new things with soft pastels now... i ll post there when finished.

Btw, the site is very interesting, take your time there... there are some really amazing ppl.

Any comments about the works are very welcome

. Hope you like

Lovely work Delacroix, the face of the Rembrandt is nicely done with an interesting expression. Water for water is restful, springlike in the use of the yellow in the swans reflection. Thoughts is muted, introspective, a quiet deep piece. Empty is a nice use of contrast

Thank you for sharing your work with us

Oh thanks

Ps: I haven't noticed the silence in "thoughts", i though it was lonelyness, but it is actually silence

Thanks.

Very nice sketches, Delacroix

I personally especially liked the 2nd Moore studie (3rd from the left), you have an excellent technique.

Regarding the "Water for water", I really agree with you that water colour is a pain - with our without watermask!

It was many years ago I was in art school, but oil and charcoal were always my best techniques, I never managed to do anything useful with watercolour...not my medium. My best classmate was a water colourist, and we used to laugh at each others attempts at switching techniques

Nice work, Ivan. I hope you'll keep posting more of it in your gallery.

@Fable - Thanks, i am trying to work on increase the gallery... but my ways take too long... except for the Moore's sculptures the works took me weeks.

@CE - Oh, didnt knew you were a painter. Oil! I am soooo afraid of it... i learned all other medium easily, but oil has the mark of the great ones

I know it sound stupid, but i freeze when working with oil.
The work you liked, it is one of my favorites too

Do it was incredible dinamic and free, a pleasure.

@Delacroix: Oh, I am not a painter, I used to paint a lot when I grew up, but I quit when I started uni and had little time for my hobbies...I was in art school as a teen, but then I decided to study psychology and medicine instead.

My grandfather was a painter, an oil painter, and he taught me to paint when I was 4 years old, so I never had the "respect" for oil as you have! Oil is the technique of the masters and very difficult to master, but it is also very forgiving - much more so than water colour! And seeing how well you sketch, you should certainly start working more with oil I think - all of the great oil masters have also been very good sketchers, I think it goes together.

You are very talented ...I think me favourite is 'Thoughts' It is a wonderfully emotive piece. You show great promise as an artist. Don't be afraid of oils.they are actually very forgiving, and the trick is to learn to let the paint do the work, with a little guidance, and never try to 'force' it...it will only rebel and muddy itself under duress

Since Ivan hasn't done so himself, I'm bumping this on his behalf to let everyone know that he has added some new stuff to his gallery
