Methods for painting a willow tree

Recently I have been studying Japanese screen painting and was interested in seeing several painted screens that focused on the changing of the seasons. Folding screens, or byōbu, have a long tradition in Japan, and often six-panel screens were created in pairs to portray a scene. I liked the parallel of the twelve individual screens with the twelve months and thought that they make a perfect way to show the seasons. Thus I decided to do a series of four three-panel screens throughout the year, each representing a particular season. The plan is to paint each screen during the season portrayed, beginning with winter. Each screen will include a seasonal bird and tree as their focus. Also, all four screens will have identically-painted back designs incorporating our “heron mon”, thus showing the screen’s inclusion in the series.
The third in the series, the Summer Screen, depicts a group of swallows flying under the branches of a large weeping willow tree. I have always loved the graceful shape of weeping willows. I remember from my childhood a massive, old willow in the back yard of my aunt and uncle’s home. It was such fun to play under its branches and seemingly hide within this green “cave”. During the hot Pittsburgh summers, to go under the big tree’s shade “umbrella” was like entering a zone of wonderful coolness. I admire how Japanese culture developed visual tricks to help people stay cool during the hot summer. My hope is that the greenery of this painted screen will act in a similar way to help us feel cool, too. A two-panel folding screen by Japanese Rinpa painter Suzuki Kiitsu entitled Egret and Willow was helpful in designing my screen.
Another sure sign that summer has arrived is the return of the swallows. Here in the Skagit Valley, we are so blessed with an abundance of bird activity, but the darting and dancing of the swallows as they zoom over the ripening fields is always such a special, and joyful event. Swallows are amazingly skilled flyers and their voracious appetite for flying insects guarantees a good show for us. I made the frames for each panel out of red oak using pegged, hand-joined, mortise-and-tenon construction methods. I used the Japanese technique (shou-sugi-ban) of charring and oiling the oak to finish the frames. Brass folding screen hinges were used to connect the three panels.

You may frame them by yourself following the online guides or go to any of your local framing workshops. Small paintings on paper, like this one, I may send in hard carboard envelops.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Paint using traditional pigments mixed with synthetic resins.

Painting is an art form of painting on a surface by aesthetically applying colored fluids. Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.

Galina Khabarova (b. 1986) is a contemporary abstract artist who lives and works in Stavropol, Russia.Her paintings are abstract in nature and are created anew each time in the process of intuitively following the imagination, in most cases without any preliminary sketches. They are multi-layered surfaces with a rich texture that exposes the underlying layers of paint, with rhythm, direction and a complex color pattern.

Galina describes her work as a mental return to a moment of the past, real or imaginary, when she experienced certain emotions. When the artist relives it within herself, she transfers these emotions to the surface of the canvas. The process is akin to meditation, when emotional images splash out on the painting, as if without conscious participation. A paint stroke is a reflection of a certain feeling. As emotions quickly replace each other, so do paint strokes overlap each other in the process of Galina’s work. Starting with some colors and shades, she can finish the work with completely different ones, covering and overlapping each layer many times. But, like the emotions experienced, each stroke leaves its mark on the surface of artwork, forming a unique texture every time.

Born in Dushanbe (Tajikistan, then a part of the USSR) Galina was surrounded by art at an early age: her father took interest in metal stamping, wood carving, sculpture and photography, constantly inviting home his friends — local artisans and artists — to work together and discuss art.

In the early 90’s, Galina moved with her parents to Russia, where her family settled in Stavropol. She was lucky to have a school and teachers who teached pupils many new art techniques and methods.

After graduating from the Institute in 2004 with a degree in Advertising, Galina became a professional photographer, graphic designer and commercial illustrator. Galina’s interest in the expressive calligraphy with a cola pen helped her to develop confident firm strokes and the method of working with paint by rubbing it, determining the artist’s future painting style.

In 2017 Galina started painting. Her favorite technique is “rubbing” paint into a dense multi-layer film, that creates a complex colorful pattern giving the finished painting a multi-dimensional depth and saturation, making the paint “glow” and the viewer’s eye unconsciously feel movement. A favorite working tool is an ordinary plastic card. The artist also uses many other tools, both traditional (palette knife, brush) and unusual (pancake spreader).

Galina actively takes part in exhibitions — local, national and international, and continues to develop and expand her artistic style constantly searching for new ways and methods of applying paint to different surfaces, while keep telling her story to viewers through the painting.
