I almost finished my Peru oil pastels paintings series. I have scanned and printed them on A4 heavy wight paper and it looks great. All prints available on my Etsy shop.

A year after traveling in Peru, I finally painted this series. Meanwhile I finished my degree, I moved to the country side and had a baby… So, I’ve been processing. These images were chosen from hundreds of pictures I took while traveling, you can see it here on my flickr. When time will come I’ll print some of the photographs for sale too. But now I’ll just focus on painting. This trip was very inspiring in many ways, and as someone I don’t remember his name said (and then I changed it to what I want to say): “The thing with traveling is not having new things to see, but having new eyes”.

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.

Acrylic on paper, a detail from a double spread. This painting is for my final project, an illustration for a poem by Kadya Molodowsky. I already uploaded 2 posts with other double spreads from the same project: “already six years old, with firy curls”: 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/. This one is one of the transitions I tried to illustrate, where the girl goes from reality to imagination. This specific character of the girl won’t be in the final project, but the scene with the big gown will get in some other way. The girl supposed to look a bit more poor… I am working on it.
