Collecting Art, take a look

Chertopoloh Arts is where dark fairytales come to life in clay and fabric. Anastasia, the artist behind the name, sculpts one-of-a-kind art dolls that look like they’ve wandered out of an ancient storybook and into your hands. There is something immediately enchanting about her work. These are not factory-made toys or mass-produced collectibles. That means every piece is literally unique, carrying the fingerprints of its maker and a personality all its own. More: Instagram The visual world she builds is unmistakable: pale moonlit creatures, fluffy bats wedged among roses, ghostly shapes with teacups, and “creepy cute” beings that balance sweetness with something slightly unsettling. It is the kind of aesthetic that lives comfortably between a Victorian ghost story and a cozy cottagecore dream. Anastasia’s dolls are deeply tactile. She works with mohair bodies, removable clothes, and carefully engineered joints so heads turn and limbs bend naturally. The result feels less like a display object and more like a small companion you might actually hold.,

Two portraits – one unfinished in underpainting stage Painting Technique: Glazing I often bore people with long conversations about my use of glazes, without realising they don’t know what I’m talking about. So I thought I’d write a post about this wonderful technique, and how it has transformed my art. It’s not complicated. Glazing is applying transparent layers of paint over another dried layer of opaque paint. One benefit is that highlighted areas retain their saturation and luminosity, and don’t turn chalky, as is the case if you mix colours with white. Shadow areas can achieve a depth of colour you can’t achieve with a simple layer of opaque paint. The disadvantage in using this technique is it relies on some forethought in preparing a suitable underpainting, and that underpainting has to be allowed to dry before applying the glazes. This obviously slows down the painting process. Note: I use oil paints, and everything I say applies to that medium. You can just as easily us...
