Ultimate passion, dedication, and always the
goal of Studio Belle Arti Erotiche, is the
use of the 'definite word' in the highest
end quality artist's oil paints, canvas, artist's
painting brushes, painting mediums, antiquing,
glazing and craquelure varnishes, professional
artist quality stretcher bars, and last but
not least, museum quality italian picture
frames. |
Thus said, artist oil paints, like 'Blockx', 'Old
Holland Scheveningen Classic', 'Lefranc&Bourgeoise',
'Maimeri Artistico', and 'Sennelier', are used according
to the specific requirements of each and every composition,
that is to be painted. For example, if the painting's
'provenance' is within the 'La Belle Epoque' Period,
Studio Belle Arti Erotiche, would utilize the creamy,
sensuous textures of the 'Sennelier' artist oil
paints.
For commissions of 'academic studies' of the paintings
of Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, for those
of his followers from the 'Tenebrism' Period, or
for original erotic paintings, executed in the 'Early
Baroque Style', Studio Belle Arti Erotiche, would
'Invoke', the power of the supremely pigmented artist
oil paints like 'Blockx' and 'Maimeri Artistico'.
For 'academic Studies of the Masterpieces of the
High Renaissance, which demand the application of
numerous thin transparent layers of color[glazes],
in order to achieve the softened,'blurred' tonal
gradation effect of the 'Sfumato'[Italian for 'Delicately
Shaded'], oil painting technique, Studio Belle Arti
Erotiche, uses the Legendary artist oil paints,
'Old Holland Scheveningen Classic', dating back
to 1664, whose vast palette of lavishly pigmented
colors, gives one, so to speak, an idea of what
colors must be like in Heaven. Here it has to be
mentioned, that when creating original erotic paintings,
for private fine art connoisseurs, who may have
expressed the desire, to have those paintings executed
in the authentic 'Sfumato Style' of Correggio, Studio
Belle Arti Erotiche, obligingly satisfies their
desire by applying the very same painting criteria,
using the one and Only 'Old Holland Classic', artist
oil paints.
And then, 'Ah' Lefranc&Bourgeoise', irresistible
joy floods the heart, when one even thinks of those
fine and superbly textured artist oil colors, so
malleable, so beautifully 'french' to handle, they
bring to the mind's eye, the masterpieces of great
french artists, like Chardin, Boucher, Ingres, Corot,
Courbet and Bougereau, to mention but a few of the
great french painters.
The same passionate attention to detail, and respect
to tradition, applies to the selection, and the
preparation of the canvas for each and every painting.
Only the highest grade Belgian, French and Roman
Linen are being selected, and primed several time
by hand, in the century old traditional 'Leonardesca'
way. The canvas is stretched using only heavy-duty
kiln dried stretcher bars, and secured with copper
tacks. Each Painting is created by using only superior
quality French and Italian artist painting brushes.
Each painting begins 'sine qua non' with 'Verdaccio'[Italian
for Gray-Green], or with 'Grisaille'[French for
Warm-Greyish] phase of underpainting, the first
meticulously finished drawing of the particular
composition undertaken. For example, if the commissioned
'Academic Study', is Carravaggio's masterpiece 'Eros',
the underpainting is executed in 'Verdaccio', or
in the cool Gray-Green tonality as described above.
Over this foundation, the many thin layers of transparent
color glazes are then applied, thus enhancing, and
gradually increasing, the intensity of the skin
tones, in order, finally to 'recreate' the legendary
chiaroscuro and unequaled realism of Caravaggio.
The same painting method is applied, when underpainting
in the manner of the 'Grisaille' oil painting technique,
which is, the french eqivalent of the Italian underpainting
technique 'Verdaccio'. As opposed to 'Verdacio',
as it was mentioned earlier on, the tonality of
the painting finished in 'Grisaille', is more neutral,
and in overall appearance more warm-greyish.
The great French Masters, like Bouguereau, Cabanel,
David, Ingres and Gerard, have used this technique
to create paintings of astounding beauty and supreme
realism. |
