This wedding portrait was painted as a gift to a friend and his bride, acrylic on canvas, 30/30 cm. For custom orders in same method, for a wedding invitation for example, go to my ETSY shop: http://www.etsy.com/listing/59371844/custom-illustration-jpegpng-for-a I enjoyed the work of “copying” from a big master of art, as this is a tribute to the famous wedding portrait: The Arnolfini Portrait, by Jan van Eyck  (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arnolfini_Portrait). The fun part was of course combining the original with the portrait of the couple, and the adding of the Ukrainian pattern around (I like patterns and ornament, and I hope to use it more and more in my work).

This acrylic illustration is for my final project in Bezalel academy of art and design, Jrusalem. The theme is a poem by Kadya Molodowsky, and this part of it is somwhere in the middle of the poem-story. The girl drifts in to her imagination, escaping the reality of the grey and tough life in a suburb not far from Warsaw, in the beginning of the last century. I hope it comes threw the illustration, I work on this project a lot, so It’s hard for me to see things clear. Painting with acrylic was something I didn’t like when I only started with it aroun 10 years ago, I prefered oil painting, but now I am friends with it. Besides acrylic I used colored pencils in this illustration, in the buble of the imagination. I hope the project will come out the best way it can.

Here are the previous illustrations for my final project:  https://artbydina.wordpress.com/2010/05/31/a-girl-hanging-laundry/ and:  https://artbydina.wordpress.com/2010/05/19/already-six-years-old-with-firy-curls/ and: https://artbydina.wordpress.com/2010/05/28/the-first-double-spread-of-my-final-project/

Black and white illustrations for an anonymous blog

art, bezalel, black and white, blog, dina, dinamakesart, drawing, editorial, illustration, image, ink, paper



This series of black and white ink illustrations was made for an illustration class in Bezalel. The topic was a blog of a man who describes all his life with short sentences of what he was doing this day, with a “grade” attached to each sentence. I chose black and white drawing, because the atmosphere of the blog reminded me something of “film noir”. Black and white image allows you to stay focused on shape and composition, where sometimes one might get lost.

Pencil drawing, colored by computer. This illustration was made for editorial newspaper illustration course in Bezalel academy. The magazine is about art and science for children. Each magazine comes out with different theme, I took “motherhood” and two others. Usually I don’t use this illustration technique, but I liked it, so maybe I’ll do it again sometime.

Oil on canvas, 20/30 cm. The winter time in Israel inspires me with its soft light. Especialy when it comes to nature. The oil paint helps me to go deeper with the colors, and get into the green leaves and the rainy atmosphere. This oil painting was made about a year ago, and I hope next winter will bring even more inspiration to my art.
