I have had two of my landscape paintings framed recently and I want to show you what kind of frames I selected. If you are a new visitor, this is my living room  all the paintings you can see on the walls are also mine. 

HR Pozdrav dragi čitatelji i kolege blogeri! Danas ću s vama podijeliti izradu slike (medij je akril na platnu) koju sam nedavno naslikala. Znam da neki od vas uživaju gledati ovakve objave, pa sam pripremila nekoliko kolaža koji će vam dati uvid u moj kreativni proces. Pokazat ću vam i za koje sam se okvire nedavno odlučila. Nedavno sam uokvirila dvije svoje pejzažne slike i želim vam pokazati kakve sam okvire odabrala. Ako ste novi posjetitelj, ovo je moja dnevna soba, sve slike koje možete vidjeti na zidovima također su moje.

EN TAKING MY 'SUMMER' LANDSCAPE PAINTINGS TO BE FRAMED 

I took two landscape paintings I painted this summer to be framed at local art gallery Michelangelo. That's the same gallery where I normally take art classes (there are none at the moment because of the pandemic but the gallery is still open in the morning hours if you want to buy art supplies or paintings)- This is where I  have had all my paintings framed. You might remember these paintings from my summer posts, the bigger one depicts Assisi, a medieval city in Italy and the smaller one depicts village Vrboska on island Hvar in Croatia. The Assisi painting is oil on canvas and Vrboska painting is acrylic paints on canvas. Prints of these paintings are available for sale via Redbubble and Arthaus.  

HR NOSILA SAM SVOJE LJETNE PEJZAŽNE SLIKE NA UOKVIRIVANJE

Odnijela sam dvije pejzažne slike koje sam naslikala ovog ljeta da bih ih uramili u lokalnoj  umjetničkoj galeriji Michelangelo u Mostaru. To je ista ona galerija u kojoj inače pohađam satove slikanja (trenutačno ih nema zbog pandemije, ali galerija je i dalje otvorena u jutarnjim satima za kupovinu slika i slikarske opreme. ) Tu sam sve svoje slike dala na uokvirivanje. Možda se sjećate ovih slika iz mojih ljetnih postova, veća prikazuje Asiz, srednjovjekovni grad u Italiji, a manja selo Vrboska na otoku Hvaru u Hrvatskoj. Asiška slika je ulje na platnu, a Vrboska (slika brodova) akrilne boje na platnu. Otisci (printovi) ovih slika dostupni su za prodaju putem Redbubblea i Arthausa (poveznice u engleskom dijelu teksta).

IT DOVE HO INCORNICIATO I MIEI DIPINTI ESTIVI?

 I miei quadri erano incorniciati nella locale galleria d'arte Michelangelo. Forse la ricordate, questa è la stessa galleria dove normalmente prendo lezioni d'arte (non ce ne sono al momento a causa della pandemia ma la galleria è ancora aperta nelle ore mattutine) ed è qui che ho incorniciato tutti i miei quadri. Potresti ricordare questi dipinti dai miei post estivi, quello dipinto più grande è di una bellissima città medievale italiana- Assisi e quello più piccolo raffigura il villaggio di Vrboska sull'isola di Hvar in Croazia. Il dipinto di Assisi è olio su tela e il dipinto Vrboska è colori acrilici su tela. Le stampe di questi dipinti sono disponibili per la vendita tramite Redbubble e Arthaus.

EN HOW TO SELECTED A FRAME FOR YOUR PAINTING?

When selecting a frame, there are a few factors to consider. You want it to match the painting itself, but you also want it to look nice in a room you'll showcase the painting in. I decided to go for mostly white wood frame. The frame for my Assisi painting is white with some green (a sort of a double frame) and the frame for my Vrboska boat painting is white with a blue outline. Both frames are predominately white and thus match the frames I already have in my home. I feel they fit in really well. 

HR KAKO ODABRATI OKVIR ZA SVOJU SLIKU?

Pri odabiru okvira treba uzeti u obzir nekoliko čimbenika. Željeti ćete da okvir odgovara samoj slici, ali isto tako ćete želiti da lijepo izgleda u sobi u kojoj ćete izložiti sliku, tako da često morate misliti i na jedno i na drugo. Odlučila sam se za okvir uglavnom od bijelog drveta. Okvir za moju sliku koja prikazuje povijesni pejzaž u Assisiju je bijele boje s nešto zelene boje (vrsta dvostrukog okvira), a okvir za moju sliku broda u Vrboskoj je bijele boje s plavim obrisima (također neka vrsta dvostrukog okvira). Oba su okvira pretežno bijela i tako odgovaraju okvirima koje već imam u svom domu. Osjećam da se stvarno dobro uklapaju.

A NEW ACRYLIC PAINTING- BOATS IN THE NIGHT- WIP (WORK IN PROCESS)

Now, I'll show you a new acrylic painting I made. This is the first time I painted boats in the night. The first thing I did was to browse through some night photography of mine. While I was still living in Jelsa, I took a few night photographs of local fishing boats so I decided to reference those. Once I found my reference photograph, I started sketching. The new step was applying the first layer of paint. After that, I applied the second and the third layer of paint. Once I was done with all the paint layers and the basic outline of the ships, I started working on the ship's  shadows and countering. I mixed paints a lot, trying to get that dark shade of the sea, so there was a lot of effort put into that as well. When the shadows were completed, I worked on the background. I outlined Jelsa and the silhouette of the buildings on the other side and then added  street lights as well the reflection of those lights in the sea. Finally, I added all the details, such as ropes on the ships and so on. I'm not sure how long it took me to complete this painting because I didn't time myself, I'm guessing between 4-8 hours. I worked on it for two days, I think. It was an interesting experience painting this one because this was actually my first 'night painting'. Prior to this one, I only painted sunsets or dawns but never a night landscape.
