Between lights and shadows

Hi sisters!

What differentiates Posterism is usually that in its works, a particular element is highlighted.

Here is the whim of dividing the background composition, diagonally into black and white.

Thanks for your visits.

Sweet sunsets in spring

Hi sisters!

Balance was achieved between shadows and yellowish lights.
The zigzagging paths of the garden create depth and the verticality of  human figure stabilizes the entire composition.

Thanks for your visits.

A bizarre vision by Leonor

Hi sisters!

A surreal sketch allows us to make possible what reality denies us.

Composing with shoes

Hi sisters!

Without being one, this composition approaches abstraction.

Its color combination is both daring and sophisticated.

Thanks for your visits.

Inner space with divan

Hi Sisters!

This is not among the most daring works by David, who liked to depict interiors with his furniture, often distorting perspective. His chromaticism makes him the best heir to Matisse.

Thanks for your visits!

Maybe just gossip

Hi Sisters!

With decisive strokes, the artist captured the arrangement of the figures in the composition, as well as the balance of light and shadow.

Thanks for your visits.

The legend of king Arthur

Hello sisters!

In this work, we can observe the wavy lines providing coherence and rhythm to a sketch, that despite its speed, does not lose detail in the expression of the actor’s face.

Adorable headdress.

International Women’s Day 2024

Congrats Sisters, it’s our Day!

The works by Kathryn Barton come to our attention like pieces of the most select goldsmithing. Her compositions and chromaticism can move in the long time that separates Giotto from Klimt, passing through Frida Kahlo. A true privilege for our senses.

Thanks for your visits, and have a funny friday!

Antique chatting

Hi folks!

Very interesting is the artist’s genuine detail of revealing the black pencil strokes behind the silhouette of the woman.
Those of us who love the practice of Drawing, like to show the ‘essence’ of a work, which is found in what the Sketch itself is. It is the best ‘x-ray’ of any work. Never cheats.

Thanks for your visits!

Parties era

Hi folks!

During the period of the Rococo style, in France called ‘Galante’, the sanguine pencil was ideal for drawing without the pronounced contrasts provided by the color black. The models’ hair was treated very delicately, but there was a special interest in representing the small folds of their shiny dresses.

Thanks for your visits!
