Summer wind (2021) Painting by Lisa Steeven

I'm a self-taught artist, I've learn technicals and methods by practise and lessons of professionel. Actually I'm happy to see there are lots of artists who are so inspiring in artistic world and each one has his personal style. Every day, I contemplate a lot of new colorful and original artworks. Also I seek my inspiration in magazines and photos, sometimes photos look like paintings and give me ideas to compose a new canvas. I've been yet trying to paint a long time ago but it wasn't successful for me and I've thought that I wasn't made for this domain. I retried again later and I've discovered that we could paint in many different ways, with specific methods, with many tools, like plastic knives, rollers ans spencils. I've experimented modeling paste, that brought structures and textures to the canvas before completing it with paint. I've found it interesting to add it in my paintings and it allowed me to improve my art and to get stunning effects. I'm an adept of glazes, it brings beautiful shades and creates an harmony and consistency in the painting.
