I’m very much into my online art lessons this season, meaning I don’t currently go to my students’ houses, nor they come to me but we meet at a common place online. Where as you might be asking how is an art lesson so anchored into using art materials and a hands-on approach even possible to take place online? This is how I do it. Watch this short 3 minute video below the text and find out what it looks like when I teach online and how the image I’m transmitting appears on your screen. If you would like to have a free 15 min Zoom or Skype chat to try what my art lessons are like, and to see how we get on, message me on Instagram @silviakrupinska or leave a comment under the blog post, I’ll get back to you.

Next time, I’ll publish a post about the top ten things you need to do to prepare for an online art lesson with me and some of the rules to follow to achieve the best online art experience possible. See you soon. Thanks for coming back!

This month is for questioning of the mediums I practice. I’m  making brand new works with use of colour and plaster; all this is set on normally a painting base – canvas. However, the painting is transformed into a sculpture! This new object questions its position. It “lives” between the mediums of painting and object art. Today’s piece is No. 2 of the new series of ‘Sculptures on Canvas’. I’d be interested to read, what you think. You can respond to it by commenting in the ‘comment box’ under the post. Thank you and see you soon! (To see the first sculpture on the canvas in the series, click on this link.)

‘Soľ nad zlato’ in Eng. ‘Salt above Gold’, title of a Slovakian film fairy-tale, exploring preciousness of salt above all! I’ll be experimenting in my new works how the salt and gold ‘work’ together, in a form of a painting. Can’t wait!

Today, I’m asking my self a question as I put my head next to my freshly mudded 3D painting. How does it feel today? Let’s see, till the mud dries! The sea might settle by then. (personal note)

Another day in my studio brought  me this very nearly finished painting. It’s one of my series of the Seed Paintings and here is a link to a short video of it blowing in the wind too. http://www.myspace.com/video/rid/109165310

I realize that exhibitions and awards don’t come for free and by it self. A bit of effort is required, so I entered this competition. I would appreciate your support by clicking on the link and rating my 2 pieces of work  I’ve uploaded.

Thank you ever so much.

This is one of the two pieces I uploaded

This is the second image of the two I uploaded for the competition.

26.8 – I’ve started this painting a few days ago and It’s turning out to be quite a fight. One day it feels like I’m overthinking it, next day I take it mad, and splash out. hehe Let’s see what happens later on today. Hopefully I’ll find that ‘golden’ balance.

27.8 – Well, today The ‘Golden Seed’ became not so golden. I feel like I over-fought it. And I’m questioning if I’d be able to fix it. Learning lessons every day!

30.08.2010- Today I’ve painted the wall behind the painting, and changed the direction it’s been hanging. I feel that it’s finally doing what I wanted. Have I tamed the monster? You tell me?..hehe I’m having issues to photograph it actually. I may need to ask a professional to help me out.

1.9.2010-  I just made it into my studio today, no nothing serious, just one of those days when one prefers to stay at home and do nothing. Anyway, I raised my mood by injecting a bit more colour into the painting. A few red spots have added some vibrancy to it. I try my best to photograph it as best as I can, however I wish you could see it life! AHH, you can! Check out this link.

I would like to show you some works in progress for Dynama O.S. project,     “Londyn Multikulturny a Zivy”, which will culminate with a short documentary film. To find out more click here, or simply scroll down to read my previous article.

I’ve been working on some paintings today. I have to admit I haven’t painted for some time, rather focusing on sculpting, drawing. I’ve had a fun day and tomorrow, back in my studio, I’ll try to bring everything together for some sort of story of my journey coming to London. Keep watching! Thanks.

Hi again! I’m pleased to have found some time, however only very briefly, to write about my latest participation in a “OUR SHOP” project hosted by Ben Nathan and Antony Ward. I have been working in OUR SHOP, a pop up space in Kilburn, London, along with some other invited artists, where I produced a throughtout changing “Dust and Hair Painting”  also called ” Dust Painting, Seed 2″, and some framed works of  “Seeds”. There’ll be an evening celebrating a whole month of lasting of the extraordinary space, tomorrow July 6th, 2010. For directions and more info click here.  I’d love to see you there, if you’re free! If not, I’ll write about the whole experience, in a bit more detail later on.  So watch out for this article to develop. Meanwhile, here is an image of my contribution, and a bit of press, and more photos to come later.

Best wishes

Silvia
