Oil Painting by Katerina Krjanina
One of the hallmarks of Katerina’s oil painting technique is her use of color. Her understanding of color theory, honed through years of artistic practice, is evident in the way she blends and layers pigments. She uses a vibrant palette, carefully selecting and mixing colors to capture the subtleties of light and shadow, creating a striking balance between warm and cool tones. Her color choices often evoke mood and atmosphere, giving her paintings an emotional resonance that invites viewers to connect with the scene.
Texture also plays a vital role in Katerina’s oil paintings. She skillfully manipulates the paint’s thickness, using both smooth and textured strokes to enhance the visual experience. In certain areas, she applies the paint in thick, impasto layers to create dimension and emphasize particular elements, while in other areas, she uses thinner glazes to soften and blend colors seamlessly. This variation in texture adds a tactile quality to her work, giving it a dynamic and multi-dimensional feel.
Katerina’s compositions are well thought out, with each element carefully placed to guide the viewer’s eye through the painting. Whether depicting a serene coastal scene or an intimate still life, she balances realism with artistic interpretation, adding a sense of harmony to her work.
