"Midsummer Night"
The drawing of a nude woman was made in class from a real model. Later, in my studio, with gouache and colored pencils, I finished drawing around a night summer garden and a swing.
"Midsummer, one of those nights when the temperature drops a little bit after a hot day, but it's still stuffy. And although it is night, there is something in it that is calm and safe. The scent of cut grass is mixed with the scent of flowering lavender, sage, heated resin of conifers and many flowering plants around. Smells, sounds of crickets; warm air touches the naked body and I want it to last and not end."

Рисунок обнаженной женщины был выполнен в классе с реальной натурщицы. Позднее уже в своей студии гуашью и цветными карандашами я дорисовала вокруг ночной летний сад и качели.
Середина лета, одна из тех ночей, когда температура воздуха немного спадает после жаркого дня, но по-прежнему душно. И хотя ночь, но есть в ней нечто оберегающее и безопасное. Запах скошенной травы перемешивается с запахом цветущей лаванды, шалфея, разогретой смолы хвойных деревьев и множества цветущих растений вокруг. Запахи, звуки сверчков; теплый воздух касается обнаженного тела и хочется, чтоб это длилось и не кончалось.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Gouache

The substances are diluted with water and rendered pasty and opaque by the addition of gum and honey. The colors become opaque and can, therefore, be superimposed, which makes one paint with gouache as with oil. The gouache is recommended by its bright, fresh and delicate tones.

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 Drawing

Drawing is a technique of visual representation on a flat support. The term "drawing" designates both the action of drawing, the resulting graphic work, and the shape of any object. It is also a representation on a surface of the shape (and possibly the light and shadow values) of an object or figure, rather than their color. There are a large number of drawing techniques: “Linear drawing” represents objects by their outlines, edges and some characteristic lines; beyond this limit, the drawing develops by representing the volume by shadows, often by means of hatching, incorporates colors, and joins, without clear transition, the painting.

Lithuania

Natalie Levkovska is an experienced Lithuanian painter and illustrator. In 1995, she obtained a degree in stone, bone and wood processing from a master artist (Abramtsevo College of Applied Arts), and in 1999 she completed a degree in costume design (Vilnius Academy of Arts). She then became a costume designer for the cinema industry, and later a fur designer. In 2006, she decided to change her life: she moved to London to work in a design studio, and started to experiment oil painting.

She creates simple and poetic artworks, mixing surrealism and naive art. Her artistic universe is a kind of magic realism: she likes to show real life objects and try to bring out the magical pulsation of space. The plots of her creations are taken from her life: a birch glade near her house at different times of the year, the portrait of a loved one, her village in the snow...

Natalie Levkovska have organized 19 personal exhibitions, participated in a lot of paintings and drawings events, and her drawings can be found in many private collections.
