The Golden Buddha

Finally managed to put to final touch of my Golden Buddha that i finished last year but didn't have the time to cook it, when looking at my choice, why Buddha,I thought after the last 2 i have done, wanted to choose something less rebellious in its expressions and its meaning, but as much as easy it seems, the Buddha sculptures are considered classic, it is a bit hard to make, it took several month to make, but i am happy with the results and the Zen sensation that it can give while looking at it

 

my version of Buddha cooked ready for coloring 

  

I decided for this time not to oxidize the sculpture so I only used a base golden color

Study of Jean-batiste Carpeaux sulpture

Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux (May11,1827-October 12,1875) was a French sculptor and a painter, his early studies were under Francois Rude.

one of my favorites work done by Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux is known as the  " Fontaine des Quatre Parties du monde, "  the four parts of the world. Embodied by its female figures representative of  Europe, Asia, Africa and America, twisting their bodies to turn the sphere also called " Fontaine de l'Observatoire "

This monumental fountain is  located south of the Jardin du Luxembourg in the 6th arrondissement of Paris. It was dedicated in 1874

you can also see another version of it in the Musée d'Orsay,


for my studies i have chosen one of the figures of this great sculpture, it took many months to finish but i really enjoyed working on it, after cooking it i decided to give it the Patina green effect, so i used gilded gold base coat and then applied the green Patina

La Maseillaise of Francois Rude

I always admired the work of Francois Rude a french sculptor , so i have chosen as theme to study  " la Marseillaise " one of the four main sculptures of the monument "Arc de Triomphe " made by Rude that is also called " Le Départ de 1792 "

The original sculpture by Rude

,you can  also see it in the Louvre Museum

They say the greatest degree of inner tranquility comes from the development of love

 i not only love all king of art ,i have the passion for it .

why suddenly i managed to start painting again ? just because i wanted to paint as if i can never paint tomorrow .

.

so here it is ,if you love to paint ,paint like it is your best work of art and like there is no tomorrow  ,don't be afraid of ruining your canvas ,just close your eyes and let your imaginations lead you .
