about this painting:
Rainbow
Rain can be both pleasant and unpleasant phenomenon. If it is autumn rain, then it will be more likely to be sad and cause depression. And if it is summer or spring rain, it will bring us joy and pleasant emotions, especially if after it a rainbow appears in the sky – one of the most beautiful phenomena of nature. This is a rather rare phenomenon which can be observed only in spring or summer and from that it becomes even more valuable from the point of view of art. Artists from ancient times seek to depict rainbow in their paintings. And Leonid Afremov of course succeeded in this. His rainbow painting depicts a real summer rainbow that occurs after mushroom rain. Here we can very well observe the technique the artist uses. Some gamers may compare the colors the artist used in the painting with the colors of Minecraft skin used in the Minecraft game on Roblox platform produced by Mojang company.
It seems that the rainbow in this painting plays a very significant role because it colors all that is in the painting in the most beautiful colors crossing all the canvas. So the leaves turn from green to yellow. And it seems that autumn is coming. But this is not the case. The painting depicts a real summer. If you look at it for a long time, you can forget about all your troubles and sorrows. It will certainly serve as a source of good mood and decorating tool. And suddenly you will understand that the painting shows not just a rainbow, but the personification of your hopes for a bright future.

Artist Statement
“I approach the subject of my paintings with a balance of thoughtfulness and impulsiveness, which manifests itself in unpredictable ways. The canvas and I go on a unique journey together, and sometimes we get lost, but we always find our way in the end”.
“When I paint, I let myself go. I sync my breath with the canvas, together we inhale and exhale color, porpoising in out of consciousness. Sometimes I unconsciously stop, taking a respite I didn’t realize I needed. Sometimes the artwork takes hours, sometimes weeks, and sometimes months. But, it’s the same sense of passion each time that brings me back to the studio time and time again. I paint for pleasure- a pleasure I love and wish to share with my collectors and the world.
Rainbow’s End – Oil Painting
I remember painting a rainbow in watercolours, many years ago. The lightest of tints were added for each colour and built up, on the clean paper, until the correct intensity was reached and that was that. Oil painting is different. ‘Alla prima’ oil painting is different again. This painting was completed after about 6 hours, less than 2 hours were spent actually painting. Most of the time was spent waiting for the solvents to evaporate and the Liquin to become tacky. If I was painting over a number of sessions and waiting for the previous layer to dry, the rainbow part would have been similar to the watercolour technique. By painting a white band and allowing it to dry, then placing transparent glazes on top with the rainbow colours. Glazing is not an option in ‘Alla Prima’ and this is where the fun starts.
I would find it impossible to paint one of those distant narrow bands in ‘Alla Prima’. Let’s say, a semi-circle. Looking at traditional paintings, like Constable’s, the rainbows always look odd, to say the least. Some of the colours have faded and others darkened and the band sometimes looks like a solid structure. I imagine they have suffered the effects of time as some of the glazing media of the time, were not totally permanent. So I will content myself with one of those ‘partial’ close up rainbows.
Rainbows are transparent, and bright. Lightening a colour in oil painting involves adding white paint. Lets take the red colour. When white is added, its pink. Pink! That won’t do. But in ‘Alla Prima’ it has to do. This pink can look red with the help of the colours in the rest of the painting. At one stage the rainbow colours were too intense. The sky was dark and there was no foreground detail to distract from the intense colours. I started to drag white from the lower clouds over the rainbow colours making the colours lighter, including making the red more pink.
And so the story goes. One change prompts another and fine adjustments are made over the entire surface to produce this faint fluorescent band. Like the smoke in the previous painting (here and here) its tedious and time consuming and the results are not always good. But its worth trying.
The colours in the main body of the painting were: Burnt Sienna (red), Yellow Ochre (yellow) and Cobalt Blue (blue). Also used Raw Umber and black and white. The rainbow colours (which were not used in any other part of the painting) were Alizaron Crimson, Cadmium Yellow, Prussian Blue and Winsor Violet. The photograph is not entirely accurate with regard to colours, as is always the case. The camera sensor would appear to be more sensitive to blue, which appears more intense than the others (Lumix GH1).
The video will make the process easier to understand and I will have it ready in a few days.
