Before Party After Party
Here is my new street painting I did in Trešnjevka these days, took me 2 days. It is part of a project entitled "Face Poster", where each of 10 artists gained one part of Zagreb for making a self-portrait which would stand in contrast to the usual "beautiful" faces on posters. It was organized by the Center of Culture Trešnjevka and MUU (thanks).

Gossip
I had my three good friends, Diana, Nikolina and Nikolina come to my place to pose for this painting. I told them to talk for 20 minutes and asked them to keep the intensity of the talk very high. By the time they where laughing and talking about their stuff I took pictures. Out of this photos came out this painting.

Opening old boxes
While opening some old boxes I found a whole stack of oil painting tubes I have been putting to the side throughout my study at the academy. We used to get about 1 tube from each color at the beginning, but I really didn't like the pigment, I always liked to paint more with "Winton & Newton" oil's more then with these "Classico". But anyway, I can get a good use of them because they are small tubes for travelling and stuff...

Portrait of two brothers ("making of" and details included)
So I have been asked to do portraits of two boys and decided to paint it in more layers combining egg tempera and oil, like Van Eyck, Albrecht Durer, Hans Holbein, Otto Dix and others did. In each phase I have tried to be exact as possible. Up until these two portraits I have been painting a little less rational, but now I am trying to get myself used to this new but old technique of painting.
First I used egg tempera to get the drawing done as exact as possible in black and white, with umber background (it really dries fast and gets done in one day). Next, I set the local tones of the hair, skin and clothes with oil and covered the background in a coat of Prussian blue to get a cold feel of the white I want to use as a background at the end. After it dried I used egg tempera again to put out the highlights and bring the texture of skin, hair and clothes back (egg tempera is really good for textures and drawing parts). After that comes the "irrational" part of painting in oil where I fix stuff and try to get the character of the model right.

Autoportrait avec cigarette sur Montmartre à Paris le jour de Noël avec un foulard noué en un nœud parisien
Self portrait with cigarette on Montmartre in Paris on Christmas with a scarf tied in a parisian knot... I think it says it all. Started the painting a while ago, now its finally finished. I've tried to make the portrait a little bit naive, like Christian Schad, which was harder then it seems, because it still had to look like me. But I think I got it right at the end, along with the christmas/tourism atmosphere on Montmartre.
