New wooden panel that will suit every interior!

Dear followers and guests!

It's Viktoria and I would like to introduce you my new hand painted wooden panel "Chocolate Blossom". This round-shaped panel is flat but the painting is made in point-to-point technique with acrylic relief outline paints. These paints create the volume of the painting. I used earth colors - brown, bronzed and golden colors, olive, yellow and white colors. This color combination is very calm and harmonious and will suit almost every interior.

Diameter of the panel "Chocolate Blossom" - 8'' (20 cm).
Materials: wooden base, acrylic paints, acrylic varnish.
I also add a hanger on the opposite side of the item, so you may hang it on wall. :)

Romantic peonies on silk!

Hello all!
We have a new item in our LekaArt Etsy shop - batik painting on silk "Peony". Have you ever heard about batik? If yes, you know how beautiful batik painting can be! Batik artists are magicians: they can make a masterpiece from a white piece of cloth.
There are 2 batik techniques: 1) hot wax technique when melted wax is applied to cloth to prevent the paint to dye the cloth; 2) cold batik technique when the special substance based on purified gasoline is used.
Our painting "Peony" is made in cold batik technique and looks very romantic as we used soft pastel colors and flower motif. If you looking for a nice exclusive gift for a friend, girlfriend or relatives - this painting could be a great one!

By the way, this is how the process of painting looks like:

New jewelry box in LekaArt shop!

Hi all! I'm Elena and I have smth unusual for you today!

Almost 5 years ago I graduated from Moscow State University, where I studied history. I still love everything that is connected with Ancient times. So I decided to paint a new jewelry box and to show one of ancient Egyptian gods Horus.

Very often he was pictured as a falcon. Here are some examples:

Horus was the god of sky and sun. It's said that he also was a god of war, hunting and protection.
I liked the falcon with wide wings and based the painting on this picture :) And now we have this nice hand painted jewelry box :

Hand painted jewelry box "Egypt". Point to point. LekaArt.

How to make an ornament for a decorative plate?

Many of those who start to paint think that it's very difficult to create an ornament for decorative plate, jewelry box, doll or smth else. Usually it's not true :) And we are going to prove it!
There are lots of books about ornamental design  in the world. All you need to do is to find some pretty elements of your future decorative painting. We have such book and chose the chapter about Japanese art of XVIII - XIX centuries. This is what we found there:

This round decorative element of a Japanese folding screen is perfect for being a nice ornament on a decorative plate! We used all main elements and add several new elements along the edges (u'll see it a bit later :)

So now we have and ornament. What we should do next? Obviously - to choose colors! We took mint and violet as main colors and silver and white as additional colors.

Advice: to put the ornament on a plate use firstly a pensil! It will make your work much more easier!

And the result is:
