My ArtVenture: Acrylic painting: "A Nymph"
Hello dear Steemians,
Today I wanted to present you my new work that I was working last couple of days on it. It was a bit difficult for me to decided what medium to use for it. I actually thought about just pencil, but the beauty of women just in black and white would be so boring. Then I thought about watercolour as I still have plenty of watercolour paper but then it would be slightly pale so I also did not like the idea. The of course I decided to use Acrylic paints, they are intense colours and I would be able to correct the mistakes if I decide to. So Medium has been chosen.
The topic I already had in my head for last couple of months, actually there are so many ideas always in my head sometimes I do not know where to start them because all of them in my imagination are beautiful and all of them I want to share with you, of course because of my major activity, my job, there is not much time for my Art, but I am working hard on my time schedule and trying to get everything we say: "under one hat"
So this time my topic is a Nymph, you know that beautiful mysterious creature from Mythology, a mythological spirit of nature imagined as a beautiful maiden inhabiting rivers, woods, or other locations. What I like most is the beauty of a nymph and water surface, I thought to do the reflection. When I started to do then it was almost like a reflection of mirror but as you know the water surface can't reflect like mirror so I had to change a bit the reflection the colours of reflected image are also a bit darker because it is a dark water, so here it is for your consideration.
very great work! i like it a lot!
Thank you very much for your nice words :)
What a gorgeous painting. You have a very well defined style already! Amazing work!
Thank you for viewing and glad to hear your opinion :)
Wow! You are an amazing artist! and I love your subject. I’m all about these mythical creatures. The colors are alive as well.
Thank you and glad you like my painting, you are right it is a feature of acrylic paints that they give such vivid colors that is why it is interesting to experiment with them :)
Отличный рисунок, Ваше мастерство в акварельной живописи значительно лучше. (если често, я в этом не бум-бум, просто хочу Вас поддержать, ведь в любом навыке важна постоянная тренировка. Во, теперь я откровенный)
Спасибо за поддержку, это как стимул к творению :)

You are very good at drawing the water surface. I saw some pictures such as sea and puddle several times in your post, the all of them were very beautiful.

So beautiful and dreamy, @stef1 ! I love the composition so much, it really embodies the concept of a "river" or "water" spirit <3 Well done !!!
Thank you very much @veryspider, I am still in search the best composition of object and reflection, so in future you may see many other till I reach the one when I would be happy with :)
Hmm I like this one better when you haven't defined the colours so much, but nevertheless it is a good picture with an interesting composition and a beautiful topic.
Nice works Stef :).
I was a bit struggling when was doing reflection, I did not want to make alike a mirror equal but also it should be recognizable, anyway, I think I used to strong colors for water surface therefore it is darker then I wanted.
