Romy Kasanova Art

Trying new approach to resolving problematic compositions - thumbnails. It feels as if I’m accessing an unknown part of my brain, it’s fun and addictive.
Am I running away from solving the problems on the current piece?

“Nearly There”, acrylic on board, 30 x 30 cm…still deciding on the orientation.

Snowflakes flying around horizontally outside my window. Surprisingly, pink, crimson, orange and purple hues dominate my current palette trays and make their way onto various works in progress. Some successfully, others not.
Happy Saturday!

I’m sure you know the saying that goes like “go at your own pace”. This baby’s been doing just that, evolving since late 2019.

My paint palettes are constantly changing, evolving but at the same time often circling back to previously used color schemes. In such cases, older, unresolved pieces call to me again and sometimes cross the finish line.
This baby started as a study in 2020; it was finished in 2023 only because I turned to Quinacridone Nickel Azo Gold after a long time of avoiding it.

I am easing my way back into the studio after a long absence. Bit of painting, evaluating some pieces, gessoing paper and redoing my reference cards so the swatches include both tints and shades of the colors. I am doing my best to remember how the particular color swifts (especially when mixed with white) but these definitely save time 😊

Exploration in pink and grey. I have a couple of favorite color combos with very and this is one of them.
