Original Artwork Painting, Pastel on Paper

Artworks classification

Original Artwork

Original Artwork refers to any work that is considered authentic and not a copy or imitation of the original works of an artist. Original artwork can be any type of painting, sculpture, performance, or other media. There are many types of original media. Mixed media includes oil, acrylic, and watercolor paintings. For workshop paintings that bear evidence of master craftsmanship, this attribution must be further qualified. While they may be less valuable for different reasons, reproductions and copies have had a tremendous impact on our experience. They reach a greater audience than originals and act as a tonic against commodification. Original Artwork could also refer to the first work, which is always preceding all others. It could also refer to a prototype or a model from which other works can be made. Each work bears great similarities to the original.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Painting Pastel

Pastel is an instrument widely used in plastic arts. Taking the form of a colored plastic stick, it is composed of pigments, a filler (chalk or plaster) and a binder (gum arabic, oil, wax). We mainly distinguish fatty pastels (oil or wax), dry pastels, whether soft or hard. Invented in Europe at the end of the 15th century, this tool was very quickly used by great portrait painters of French royalty, such as Charles Le Brun, Rosalba Carriera, Jean Siméon Chardin or Maurice Quentin de La Tour, who will be considered the "Prince of pastellists", thanks to a method of fixation of which only he knew the secret.

Pastel

Drawing made with a colored stick. It consists of pigments, a charge and a binder. A distinction is made between dry pastels (soft or hard) and fatty pastels (oil or wax).

Figurative

Figurative and colorful painting having taken the liberty of including all forms of art without border of cultural genre and geographic origin, without hierarchy of values between high and subculture.

Technic Painting

Painting is an art form of painting on a surface by aesthetically applying colored fluids. Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.

Christine Mergnat

France

I was born with a pencil in my hand and this passion for drawing accompanies me on my journey with a particular fascination for portraits and looks.
The starting point is generally a photo, either personal , either royalty-free, or from friends or photographers who authorized me to draw inspiration from it; the main thing being that my emotion felt through photography can be transcribed as accurately and as intensely as possible in my work.
I have evolved since the beginning of 2018 towards much more personal creations while remaining in a universe imbued with poetry and imagination.
Since January 2010, I have regularly led workshops, either within artistic associations or at home and it is always with great passion and joy that I pass on my know-how.
On June 14, 2014, in Paris, the Academic Society of Arts – Sciences and Letters awarded me the silver medal diploma for my entire artistic and I was deeply touched and honored.
Finally, I am a regular contributor to the magazines “Plaisir de P Peinture” and “Practice des Arts” for whom I create “step by step” sketches. on different subjects interpreted with dry pastels (to date, more than thirty publications).
