Irik Musin. Picture taken from FB
I have a good news. A new Project "Voice of Steemit" would like to support ARTstyleART contest and contributed 100 Voice shares!!!!!!!!!!
Please see this information below in the Reward Pool Section.
I invite you to explore different styles in art together not theoretically but practically.
This week we will try a rather difficult style as it requires very good painting skills. But I believe in you and you proved your skills in previous challenges.
The coming week we will have Realism + Village Life.
The theme Village Life came to me with the help of one of my favorite artists Irik Musin. I saw his paintings at FB and I was very impressed and shocked in a good way. You can see his paintings below but now there are some words about realism.
Realism
The task of realism is to depict the reality as exact and objective as possible. First this definition was mentioned in the 19th century to call the trend contradictory to romanticism and academicism. And the first artist connected to this new style at that time was Gustave Courbet.
Courbet in his painting underlined naturalistic details. Gustave put an accent on the usual life of people, on common events. He depicted a funeral ceremony but not the deeds of the deceased person and postmortem fate of the soul.
Realism in art was actively spread in France, Great Britain, Russia, Italy and the USA.
The French peculiarities: landscape domination. The artists tried to portray the real world, provincial nature. They thought that village landscapes showed the real France.
The artists of that style depicted real people and situations without idealization.
The most outstanding representatives were Jean - Francois Millet, Onore Domie, Ilya Repin
And now some paintings of Irik Musin which inspired me for the theme VILLAGE LIFE. Pictures are taken from FB. Impressive, isn't it?
Rules:
- Upvote and resteem this post
- Make a post with your painting with the tag #artstyleart10 (Please check the spelling when you put a tag as there was one entry with the mistake in the tag but happily I have seen that work)

Deadline
It is under question as I can be travelling. We planned to go to Georgia with the car next week but we have problems with the car and it can be cancelled.
So, if I stay please submit your entries by next Sun, August 13, 2017. If I we go for vacation, you will have another 2 weeks. (I will inform additionally).

ARTQUEST-TRAIL#19 (ARTchallenge) Theme Announcement. 100 TRAIL +10 SBD Prize Pool. NSFW
I would like to thank the amazing person @henry-gant for the constant support of this contest and supporters @dcrockete, @thetruthbomb and @anonimnotoriu .
Yours, @aksinya.
I was soooo excited to see the announcement about a Village Life theme, since the majority of my paintings and drawings center around a more traditional Indonesian lifestyle - its people, its culture, the markets and village life etc.
However, my personal visual interpretation of the world and my surroundings is a bit different and may not fit the prescribed realistic style (I work more naive with a bold color palette)
Either way, I would like to share this Village Life work with the community.... let me know, if it fits this particular challenge. Thank you ....
https://steemit.com/artstyleart10/@yuccarose/10th-artstyleart-submission-yucca-rose-morning-preparation-at-a-traditional-indonesian-market
cool! cool! cool!
Thank you ... so, it fits the theme? If yes, then I would have a few more :-)
I will be happy if you submit more. Please do. But I will put this yours for voting for sure. Because it is brilliant. May be it is not that realistic but I just love it and let others decide)))) It is an amazing work indeed. Like I love)))
it was me))
Excellent, thank you so very much ... makes me very happy :-)
Hi @aksinya - perhaps have a look at my complete art catalog to get a better idea about my style https://niume.com/profile/45667 ... enjoy :-)

Wonderful -- I may have some time to play and join in on this one and I love painting in this style so it's of great interest.
Another great one from you, @aksinya
Sharing as I 100% support art challenges whether or not I enter. <3
Thank you very much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope you will join!
I am planning on unless something comes up that takes me away from the oil paints. :)
))))))))))
I actually got something all sketched out in charcoal today... ready for those first layers of oil paint and mineral spirits. <#
For some reason I did not see the +village life aspect when I first read this and did not do a village scene per say. I have executed an oil painting in the realist tradition and I used allegory as a form of communication. Now I feel it is not appropriate to enter. Oh well, I have a great new oil painting out of the experience and that is a good thing. I hope your holiday has been interesting. :)
great!!! So many beautiful piece of art in this post, dear @aksinya ! This contest will be full of nice works, I'll do my best to have time to partecipate ^_^
Ohh, Silvia! I would be very happy!
Ah, I want to go see those Repins again. That old woman by the house from Musin is very charming Here is Under the Yoke (Burning the Brushwood) by EeroJärnefelt.
Yes, Repin is fantastic! I love Musin a lot. And this one is fantastic too! Thank you!
Hello aksinya,
I try my best and also inform my friends to join the contest.
(^_^)/
great!
Oh wow!! This is challenging. I might not be able to participate this time as we are going away-good luck my friends :)
Enjoy! But I am sorry you will not participate as I like your style)))
Thank you so much!! I don't think I would have been able to make this art style anyway but can't wait to see others work :)
This is awesome! I am considering to enter this one. Very excited what everyone will come up with.
Great! I will add you to the database!
Oh dear this is challenging! Other than portraits I never try realism before so this is going to be a new frontier for me!
I believe in you!)))
@ aksinya - as always - the choice of the theme is fantastic! hope will have a change to participate this week as I have a lot of inspiration by village life here in Montenegro%)
Sounds great! I really look forward!
Another great idea, challenging as always, i have the idea already, its just hard to do, but will do my best to finish this idea or will fore ever regret not painting it. Hope to finish on time, as the details for realism takes a long and delicate process
You can, I know)))
Done
Exchange Followed & Upvoted
Wow, this is so fun! I will try to make something worthy the theme.
And you can ad me to your artist-list.

Cool! added!
I would like to present another Indonesian Market /Village scene for this challenge - again, my personal visual interpretation of the world and my surroundings is a bit different and may not fit the prescribed realistic style (I work more naive with a bold color palette)

@sksinya, Is the deadline still set for Sunday?
I have had some time to work on 11x20 oil on board for this.
I will be travelling. And I am leaving tomorrow. So, we have another 2 weeks. I will make a post today. Last minute decision.
Wonderful and thank you. :)
Safe Journey.
have not found your entry((
When I saw that village scene was added I could not continue as the piece I worked on was painted in the realist style using allegory -- I did see that others did not paint in the realist style (as I learned from my old masters classes at university) but entered village scenes. I did paint a new oil painting for this challenge (started the day I resteemed your post) but I think it's not what you wanted.
I know it's very last minute but I hope you'll take a look at my watercolor submission! Thanks for putting up a great challenge!
