Baigneuse - huile sur toile – knife technic - 2014 - 35x40
Ghislaine Segal
To make this little painting was really pleasant. It carries a lot of white and grey shades which give it this lightful skin.
This little swimmer (baigneuse) is shaped like an african girl and is blessed with the water nymphs grace, as if she were a creature stuck between two worlds.
The technic
Knife painting is a spontaneus technic which favors the gesture over the rest. For small paintings like this one, it allows to shape a subject rapidly while keeping the movement as raw as possible. I’m working on my painting “alla fresco”, meaning preventing it to dry. The knife slips well with oil painting and keeps well the hand of the artist as long as the work is done within three days, warm free.
Knife painting alla fresca is one of my favorite technics which I teach during practical trainings I organize several times a year.

Belle toile... Et avec un de retard bienvenu sur Steem.
Merci beaucoup, je peins surtout des femmes mais si cela t'intéresse je peux peindre des voitures ! :))
En peinture, jamais de voiture... Mais je me demande bien ce qu'aurait donné une toile du Caravage avec une Maserati...
Je connais des aquarellistes spécialisés dans les vieilles voitures, ou l'ambiance urbaine, c'est un art qui se développe...
