In this Blog, How Artistic Art Practice Can Change the Way You See? We find out How Artistic Practice Can Change the Way You See, in the World. See whether it actually, benefits, us in our Unique Art Creating. I have made Two Paintings, to share in this Blog for November 2022. Do remember if You have any comments to make, please do feel free, to give your input, you are always welcome.

John Eischeid says in his article. that students who Study music do better at Math’s. Our next question is, how does Art impact, how we See and view, the World?

Three Artists give us a View into how their, Artistic creativity can bring New appreciations into, other Areas of our lives.

The answers are many, and Range, from Seeing color in many ways, and to Looking at 400-year-old Gardens.,.

Our Question? to the Artists, is ‘How has Your Art-Creating, changed Your view and the Way You See Things?

Gigi Chan, in the Artist Network-Inspiration, says for Me, Art is what I think About. When for example, I see a wall of Graffiti, I think how should I paint that, Graffiti? Then I Look at A Sunset and think how can I use, the Sunset Colors in, a New Art Creation? I also use Photographs to observe Nature, and then Paint Birds or Nature… Or I might visit A Nature Landscape, and just Paint what I see, the Colors, the Animals, the Plants, and then use the Colors, which, Create the best, for the New Painting.

The Paintings I have Art Created for this Blog, I think show the Three Artists View Points. Whether it is in Photograph use, Seeing and Perspective, or Light Energy and Color. Which I think you all Agree does make a Difference in Our Art Creations and in the Wide World, Naturally and Materialistic?

Gigi Chan was born in Guangdong, China and bought up in New York City. Gigi’s work combines her training as a Traditional Animator, IN combination, to The Old Masters Painting and their Techniques. Gigi Chan, has had Numerous Art Exhibitions, and Art Residencies, in New York.

Stephanie Bower says that she Sketches to learn about Places, she visits. Therefore, Bower, Sees Perspective Everywhere, in the World. Bower says, she had an “A-Ha Moment” at Versailles, in Paris, when she was Blocking out the first lines in a Sketch. She Realized that all the lines in View, were Converging, onto A Single Point, in the Distance. That was, On the Head of The, Statue of Apollo, the Symbol of Louis XIV, who Built the Gardens. At this point Bower realized, that the Lanscape Architect, Le Nostre, Intended and used Perspective to choreograph, our Experience of the Gardens. Bower says, that Sketching on location, teaches us as Artists, A lot more, than Using just A Camera.

Stephanie Bower is a Seattle, Licensed Architect Who lives in, New York City. Today she works, as a Professional Architectual, Illustrator and Concept Designer. She has taught, for 25 years, at The Universitie’s, for the Arts.

Our Third Artist, Joseph Gyurcsak, says that he Sees Light patterns, which are the Color of Light and Color, Energy. As An Artist, these are Special gifts, which help Joseph to See, and make Decisions in His World. Through, everywhere he Looks, and in what he Observes. This is, what has Changed, the Way in which he Thinks, and How He Art Creates, Paintings and Perspective.

Joseph Gyurcsak, paints Many, Subjects, including, Interiors, Still life and Plein Air Landscape, Paintings. He studied Art in New York City. He is A Resident Artist, and belongs to the Impressionist Society, Of Signature Artists, of America. (The above Information was taken from, the Artists Network, 2022)

An African Girl Dreaming. Watercolors. Marie. Crimi. 2022…

In thinking about what the Above Three Artists, say about How Art has changed their View and Perspective on how they see, in the world. This has been, the reason Why and How, they Art Create their Paintings, in the Style, they Have…

I can say, that I can Relate to what, they Individually say, in their Answers, because my Art is Art Creative, to a degree in all the Three Artists Viewpoints.

In Gigi Chan, case, I too, think about Art, what I see, and How to decide to use, Ideas, Colors and Free Photographs (Photo Stock), to Art Create My Paintings, to the Best of My Art Ability and Natural Style.

Stephanie Bowen says, the Sketches she makes, help and inform her about the Places, she visits. With Me, the Places I have been and go too. Enlighten Me, with Ideas, and Thoughts, for what I want and need, to draw, to make a Unique Art Creation each time. The places fill me with Energy, and give me the Idea, to Yes Visit another day and Time, for more Inspiration.

Now for Joseph Gyurcsak, he sees Light, Color, Light Patterns and Energy. to help inform and give him the power to Fuel his Art Creating and Paintings. True with Me, I feel Fully Energized by Colors and Light through the day. This gives me, Energetic Intentions too. It makes me Stop, think, feel and take the necessary Actions, to Art Create, in Alive Colors and Designed Paintings, for My Pleasure, and Accomplishment.

I think from All the Above Artists, we can say that it is all an Individual, Experience as An Artist. What it is that Attracts us in the Mode we Art Create, Art. We can End in saying, what is Natural, Material in the World, is all Good and Valid, to Choose From, to make Our Unique Art Creations? In Order to Fill Our Paintings, with Life and Perspective, Hopefully Our Art Creations, Sell Well…

What is the Influence, of Art in Fashion?–History is considered, for the Fashion Designer, to have started in the 19th Century, with Frederick Worth, who was the First Fashion Designer, to have his Label’s, Sewn into the Garments, He Fashion Designed. ( In the, Wikipedia, Free Encyclopedia )

There are Two Ideas about What is Art?

  • Considered by Aristotle ( 384 B.C )–Art is a, Mimesis–( Inspiration ), which represents, Appearances, which Give, to a Culture, Pleasure, Through the Use, off, Accuracy and Skill. Which is Through, the Physical, Material, Man Art Created, World. Which is All, Evident in the World, as we See, and Think We know, the World.
  • Whereas Pluto, the ( Greek, Philosopher, 427 B.C ) said that, the Artist is Inspired, by what He Sees, By God or, his Inner Impulses. Which help Him To Express, which is Beyond, what He, Sees and Knows. Which are His Inner feelings, which are Beyond, What is the Truth. Which are Actually the Essence, or Results, of The Ages and History, as we know. ( Information in the, Hutchinson Encyclopedia )

In the Mitler and Raguns, ( 1992 ), says the Principle’s of Art, take into account, Balance, Variety, Harmony, Emphasis, Proportion, Movement and Rhythm. Continuing to Say, that Art is Subjective and Open to Interpretation. There is Not a Definite Limitation, to what can be Called Art. The Art Definition, is up to the Audience, in Every Culture. Who See Art, in Their Unique Way, and Cultures–History.

Fashion Design Videos, too Watch…

  • How to Become a Fashion Designer–You Tube. ( 19.5.2019 ) 18.4mts.

Fashion Design Websites, too Look At…

In concluding this Blog on Fashion Design, we can truly say that, Fashion Design is a Form of Art. Fashion Design Art is Art, because Mitler and Raguns, agree that Art is Subjective, to Open Interpretation. The Art Interpretation, is up to the Individual, and their Culture, to decide what is Fashion Art, or Art. So we can conclude, without Doubt, that Fashion Design, Is A Form Off, Very Important Art, in the Whole of the World and Existence.

The Importance of Repetition, as An Artist?, Why Life-Long Learning is? and My Art too…

In this Blog, the Importance of Repetition, as an Artist. We think about this Word repetition, what it Means, to Us all as the Artist? and If the word, is Appropriate or Not, in the Context of Art creating?. Then the Blog, looks into, Why Life-long learning is Important, to the Individual and to the Artist? I give You insight, into Why I make Art, and Share Two paintings, I have Art created, Especially for You all.

The importance of Repetition as an Artist?–Scott Christensen, the Landscape oil painter, uses Philosophy, curiosity and Repetition, in his Art creations. He says, that its Important for an Artist, to See things in our world, as Different. How to do This, is by Using Repetition, in How we Actually See a Thing…

You teach your Eyes to only see, what is Important to you. Then you use this Information, to Apply to your, Ideas and thoughts, on How to Art create a painting. In this Format, you See a lot more, and Instinctively know, then How to apply, this Seeing of ideas, in Your Art creations. You are able to, Share, Colour, shape, light and a Vision into What, you see. Then you will, Need to Share, With the Art appreciator, of Your paintings. ( In the, Artists Network, 2022 )

The importance of Repetition in Art–how interesting is, what Christine Alfrey, the Artist, Posted on the 7/10/2017, saying that Repetition art, has Lost its, Direction, individuality, and its Uniqueness. Creating the concept, that Art is Anything and everything. It creates the Concept of ‘Artist’, as that, Anyone can be an Artist?

That leads to the Question, of our Reality, in Today’s world, What is Art? Alfrey, says, that Art is Not repetition, and, Why?, Because Repetition is Not Art. Art is a Unique, Original Design, which is an Art creation, a painting, and Masterpiece of Art…

So why do Artists Use repetition–it helps to Build, the Visual part of the Work, and it also Provides a Deeper meaning, to the artwork. Which hides, The Philosophical and Conceptual identity? ( in, http://www.widewalls.ch/magazine/repetition )…

The Art of Repetition : The Top 10 Pattern Artists?–repeated Forms and Regular arrangements, have been Used in art, from Ancient times.

  • Gustave Klimt--the Motifs, were inspired by Byzantine, Greek and Egyptian art.
  • Mc-Escher–he Developed the art, from Spain, following the Principles of Tessellation, Covering a plane, using One or more Geometric shapes, with No overlaps and Gaps.
  • Anni Albers--created Mass-producible Fabric patterns. making, Striking geometric patterns and Bold colours. Pioneering the Modernist movement.
  • Andy Warhol–worked with Repetition in his Silk screen prints, inspired by the Imagery of Popular culture and Mass production.
  • Keith Haring–created Recognizable set of Images, symbols that he would Repeat as Enigmatic, colourful patterns, in his Paintings and prints.
  • Yayoi Kusama–net paintings made Entirely of repetitive, Semi-circle Brush strokes, lace patterns, on Canvas, suggesting, the Expansion into Infinity.
  • Damien Hirst
  • Sarah Morris
  • Takishi Murakami

Life-Long Learning–is Self initiated Education, that is Focused, on Personal development. It is generally Referred, to the learning, that occurs, Outside of a Formal educational Institute. It could be Described, as Being voluntary, with the Purpose of Achieving Personal Fulfillment.

The importance of Life-Long Learning–whether you study for your Personal interests, and Passion, or chase a Professional ambition. You can Obtain Personal fulfillment, and Satisfaction.

It is Recognized that Humans, have a Natural drive to Explore, learn and Grow. It Encourages us to Improve our own, Quality of life, and Sense of Self-worth. By paying Attention to the Ideas, and goals, that Inspire us.

The Examples, of Life-Long Learning–

  • Developing a New skill
  • Self-taught Study–learning a New sport or activity
  • Learning to use Technology
  • Acquiring new Knowledge–Self-interest course, Via Online education, or Classroom- based Course

The Benefits of Life-Long Learning?

  • Renewed Self motivation
  • Recognition of Personal interests and Goals
  • Improvement, in other Personal and Professional Skills
  • Improved Self-confidence

How to Adopt, Life-Long Learning into Your life?

  • Recognize-your Own personal Interests and goals
  • Make a list of What, you would like to Learn, or be Able to do.
  • Identify how you Would like, to Get involved, and the Resources available.
  • Structure the, Learning Goal into your life
  • Make a Commitment

I have chosen to make Art, My Life-long learning, My passion. Why?, because as a Teenager I needed to Art create, and I was denied, the Option at High School. My classmates, Threw paint onto our White school shirts. The School Principal, Banned Our class, the Option to choose, Art through, our High school Education. I have always felt, I Missed out, On My Unique art expression, as a Young adult.

I have at Created Two Watercolour paintings, to Share with You. I say, they are a Series of Two paintings, because they are of Landscapes, Similar, Not the same. They are Paintings of Nature, which are One subject, so Are the same, A Series of Two, paintings?

An Autumn, River Scene. Mixed Media. Marie. Crimi. 2022…

A Serene Landscape. Mixed Media. Marie. Crimi. 2022…

The Artists you Admire and Why?– What is it that, Attracts us to them…, Here are a Few conclusions...

  • One main thing is, their Use of Colour and brush strokes.
  • The background Stories-of Many Artists, really Interest and inspire.
  • The Subject they paint, are a Great part of Me, as well?
  • Many Artists, are very Encouraging.

In concluding the Above Artists, Whys?. It is a Great question, to Ask yourself, with Anything in Life? It Opens your Eyes, about all the Things, you have Never thought to Think, about?

( All the above information, in Internet search, Life-Long Learning. Idea came from, In the, Artists Network 2022 ).

In conclusion to Repetition as an Artist is Important, or Why not? Important because it sets the Stage for the initial painting. It helps us to see, what we Actually are seeing, and it helps us Put down on medium, what Values actually make the painting. An excellent, Unique Art creation.

Repetition is Not a Good Option for Artists, says Christine Alfrey, saying, that Repetition Art, has Lost its Direction, and is Not Art. Because, Art is a Unique, Original Expression, of Our imaginations, as the Artist. Each and Every time, we Create a Painting, We are not using Repetition. Therefore, Art repetition is Not art, it is Repeating a Symbol, Characters?

I wonder if You think, that Art is a Repetition, and that we as Artists, are Repeating, Symbols in Our art creating, Over and over again?

I think it depends, how you Understand the word Repetition, as in Art? If you View, Repetition as Symbols, as Specifically Art?, or if You think Your Style, In seeing, and the Technique, you Use are Unique and original, to you, in your Paintings. Therefore you can say, art is Not repetitive to the Artist?

A Spark of Art Inspiration, and My Art Too…

In this Blog, we answer the Question, Art inspiration, and how Does it Help the Artist and Normal individuals, in Our every day Existence. I have made Two painting, which I think, we Can say, that they are actually, a Series of Two paintings. Both Paintings, look Very different, Yet, I have used Exactly the the Same, Acrylic paints and Colours, to Art create these Paintings.

It would be Interesting to have Input from you, as to What you think? If the Paintings are actually A Series? Thanking you…

Why we look to Art for creative Inspiration–Art naturally causes A stir in, Our minds. Could be Curiosity, Awe, Frustration, or Boredom. We can be Surprised by Art work, and the Insights it unveils, in our Own, Minds. Or we can Question the Artist’s intent, and their Ability, to Create, Worthy Artwork.

How is it that, Art causes us to Think creatively or Feel inspired?, How can, Art cause a Change in perspective, as in the Way we Work or create, or in the Way we live?

The Artist’s lifestyle, shows us what we Lack in Our daily lives, the Freedom, from Rules and Rigid constraints.

Art is Wild, and full of Imagination, the Ability to create Something, from Nothing, all for the Purpose, of Art creating something. ( In, https://creative something.net/post/2018… )

The Artist, works Alone in their art studio. Fighting against the Restraint of the 9-5 job, that People have. Artists work on Their ideas, and dreams. Where as in the world, People Fulfill, someone Else’s goals.

Art creation is Distant, from our reality… the Best Artwork, makes us Think, debate or question, the Art works value. It takes our Mind, into Another point in time, A different location, Story, or Existence. Art is like a walk in A dream, that we Can, explore at Anytime.

Remember that Good art, Tell stories, that Captivate, our Minds. Art is the way, to Escape into, a Totally different reality. To shift, the way We think, and our perspective, on a Subject or problem.

The following Paintings, that I have Art Created are, Similar or the same, Series of Paintings, are Of totally Different subjects. I feel that the Paintings, are a Series. They are People doing Something very special. The girl is Down at the beach, showing off, for a Photo shoot. The couple are at Their ceremony together, After their Marriage Celebration. Standing for Photo shoot. I feel, I Can say it is A series of Two paintings. Both Are, A4 size Paintings, made on The same paper. The Colours, I have Used are the Acrylic, Silver series, Matt, the Same colours, used in the Paintings, Differently. The Girl is Celebrating life, and the Couple, are Celebrating their Marriage, for A Long life, Together.

Usually the Art impact, Art has on us, Is very small, a tiny seed, and Yet once exposed, this Seed spreads, and grows, into Something greater. This Enables an individuals mind, to be Abled and capable to Uniquely, art create. ( in the, Art Inspiration Archives, (Artists Network )

How a Strict Artist Schedule can Lead to Creative Spontaneity?, or Maybe Not?…

In introducing this Blog, we Seek to find out if a Strict Artist Schedule or Routine can Lead to Creative Spontaneity, or Maybe Not? I search a few Professionals In different areas of Science, as well as Artists, to see if they Agree or disagree, with this Question. I will be Posting in the Blog, Two paintings, that I Art created, using my Spontaneity of Thoughts and Ideas. Let us See the Results?

In the Art Inspiration, Marike Kleynscheldt says, that a Daily Schedule, Fights, her Artists block. The Art Schedule helps, her to Create Playful and thought provoking Still Life’s. Her Art style is Constant and changeable. Some Still life’s, are Playful and bright. Other Art works are Somber and thought provoking. All her art works, are Small and Uniquely Art created.

The Acrylic paints are the Choice for Kleynscheldt, she Tried Watercolors and gouache in High school. Her favorite colours were Acrylics. In her Art works, she works on Capturing the Light and texture, in Art objects, shapes and Colour. Kleynscheldt paints Wet on dry, and likes the Quick drying time of Acrylic paints.

Time to Experiment–Kleynscheldt, advice to painters making a Transition from another Medium to Acrylic, is to make Time to experiment with Acrylic colours, and the Medium. Try different Acrylic brands, with their level, of Gloss and opacity. Buy and work, with the Highest Quality paints and Canvases.

Working from References–choose Materials and objects that Inspire you, and do Work from your Photographs, so that you can Change, the Lighting and the position of the Scenery.

More Personal than a Photograph–Kleynscheldt, says a painting, is more Personal than a photograph. A painting is about Feeling and Expressing yourself, through Colour and Texture.it tells you, when to Keep on painting, and when Too stop. She thinks, Paintings should be Beautiful, and most Importantly, a painting should give the Audience an Emotional connection, through the, Art creation.

Nature World. Mixed Media. Marie. Crimi. 2021…

Attack Artists Block–Kleynscheldt’s, Method to avoid painters Block. She plans her Next painting, before her Current one is Finished, this keeps her, Art creative Motivated. She makes the Effort to be careful not to Fall into a Art Rut. With her Still Life’s, she Limits the number of Paintings, she Completes of a Subject.

To Shake Things up-Kleynscheldt, believes Artists should move Forward, into whatever Challenges them as an Artist. Also what feels New and exciting. Saying that, when you Feel stuck, you need to Get out, of Your Comfort zone. Change the Project, the Medium, the Props and the Canvases…

Futuristic City. Mixed Media. Marie. Crimi. 2021…

In conclusion, Marike Kleynscheldt is a Self taught Artist, from Cape Town, in South Africa. She concludes her Argument, saying, that it is all in the Emotional connection, between, the Painting and the Viewer.

In the Science of Structure–it says, Why? Your Routine is Killing Your Creativity?

Meg Selig of Psychology Today, writes, that a Routine is Nothing more than a Series of Habits. We follow habits with the Intention of making Our Lives easier. Yet, we Never stop to Think about how Limiting, Habits might be? Actually Routines, let you go on Auto pilot, and You regardless, Accomplish your goals.

Annie Murphy Paul, says that, the way we spend our Mornings is Anti-counter, to what Neuroscientists and Cognitive Psychologists, tell us Promote flexible, open Minded thinking. Paul, says that a Strict Routine, will result in a Building, Up of stress, because you feel the Pressure, to Meet the demands of the Routines–Deadlines.

According to Tierney, he says, that Humans should follow a Routine of Complete and Full of Spontaneity. That is NO Routines at all. Tierney believes for Success, in the Material world, both the Internal, and relative to the Real world, you must Try, but Not too Hard… because too Much of Anything, can Never be Good?

Why Spontaneity is your friend?, and How to Embrace it–Sean Parshad, says that Friends come and go, but that Spontaneity, will last a Lifetime, Adding benefits, to your Whole Life. Life is Random in Nature, Adding to life, will Enrich your Life, and make it Feel more, Unpredictable and Yet Engaging? and that, the Very Staff of life, is what makes Random events more Interesting. The lesson is, that no Matter, what it is You Really want to do, the Time to get Started is now. There is No Wrong moment to have a Novel experience, no Wrong moment to Start to really Live… So get out There, and learn to Make the Unfamiliar, familiar. Your Brain, Body, and Soul will Thank you, For it.

Drawn to Action, and Drawing it, and My Art Too…

In this Blog, Drawn to Action, and Drawing it, and My Art Too… we explore and try to reach a Conclusion, as to whether Art Creating is Actually Good for the Artist, and the Individual, and Why if So?. The Art I will be sharing in this Blog, is a Series of Similar Paintings, the difference is the Art Medium I use, to Make the Paintings.

Drawn to Action, to Draw–The British-American artist Cynthia Barlow Marrs, produces Semi- Abstract collages, using Natural shapes, and uses Vibrant color harmonies. Marrs drawing Style, is Alive and Varies, through her Use, of Pen lines of different Thicknesses. Marrs uses Monochrome washes, and Occasional touches of Color. Marrs Drawings have an ongoing Narrative, where it Shows, she has an Intelligent eye, and an Adventure spirit. Marrs is attracted to drawing, in Different contexts. Marrs likes to Draw on location, to capture Peoples Movement, in Places and in situations,. Marrs carries Her favorite media, so she can Draw, Exactly where the Action is. The kit, includes a Small hardbound Sketchbook, pencils, Fine-line pens, and Felt pen with soluble ink, and a Water brush. Marrs inspiration comes from Her pleasure of observing, People and the world.

This helps Marrs to Art Create Collages. This inspiration, further gives Marrs Ideas, to Explore the world, The People, Places and Media. This is what fuels, her Unique Ambition, to Abstract Art Create. ( Written by John A Parks, in the Artists Network ).

  • What are the Idea, thoughts and Actions that, Motivate an Artist to Art Create? ( https://www.the artist.net/art/why-we-make-art ) 2020.
  • The Art Creations, Purpose, motivation, intentions, and inspirations, behind the Art creating, are Endless and Timeless.
  • To Form, part of a Ritual, ceremony, or Cultural tradition. We say that Creativity is, one way that differentiates us from Animals, it is Essentially, what makes us Human. Our Belief in A Higher Being, is a Unique experience, in which Art Creating can be used to make these Beliefs, easier to Believe and to Feel, Within Us. Faith is another reason, Artist’s have to Motivate, themselves to Art Create.

  • With the help of Art, people who, Ignore texts, can be taught Easily, the Concepts or ( Basics ) of a Subject, or A Problem, with Visual Art Creations.
  • To tell a Story from Literature, Myths, Religion, and Poetry. Sometimes Seeing, A Scene in A Painting, could be the best way for us as A Society to appreciate A Fact.
  • To Create Someone’s Portrait, is not about A Painting of A Person, it is How the Artist, See’s the Essence, that is that Particular Person.
  • Art Creating is a way for the Artist, Not to make Art, for the Sake of producing a Painting. Art is the Artists, way for Expressing themselves, through Relating, How and why, they see something, the way they do… Art, is always Unique to the Artist.
  • The true Challenge is to Creatively combine, Reality, Imagination, Medium, and Technique, to Produce something that will make the Audience, Feel Part of the Painting…

Is An Art Career Worth It?

Patrick Howe, Artist, Art Gallery Owner and Art Instructor. Seattle, USA, Say’s, according to the Wage Index, the Answer is Yes, but it is never Easy. If you do Art as A Passion, then it is not work but all Pleasure. The Biggest challenges are Combining the Personal Passion, within the Art Commerce, in the Market place. Painting for the Market takes the Fun out of Art Creativity. When you have to Live of the Sales of Your Art Creations, Burnout, disappointment and Frustration enter into your life, this makes an Art Career unbearable.

For You to be a Truly Successful Artist, you need to invest in other areas of Art options, like Giving Art Classed, Selling Art products, Selling Your Art, in Galleries, Showing in Exhibitions and in many other Places and Forms.

To be A True Artist, it would be Ideal if you had Someone, supporting your Art Career, Financially and Art materially, Too…

Otherwise An Art Career is too Health and Financial Risky… In the, ( Art Careers–Can You Really Make A Career As An Artist? ) December. 6. 2010.

In conclusion to this Blog, I can say that to be a Successful Artist it is Possible, possibly if you have someone to support you Financially and Art Materially too. This is the way that an Artist, can continue to Art Create in the Way He, She need to.

Also, the Artist and their Articles, all seem to say basically the same thing, in that Art Creating is really about An Artists, Art Passion and Art Creating, in the way and Method they, Need too.

Art Creating is very Beneficial for the Artist for many reasons, it is an Adventure, it helps with Patience, and Persisting, improves Mental and Cognitive outcomes, and other Important Health processes, for an Individual.

The Fact that a Person whether Artist or Individual participates, in Art Creating, will Improve a Persons Life, on Many Social and Personal Levels…

Making An Art Studio And Keeping it Personal?–After finding the Ideal Space for Your Art Studio, fill it with things that Inspire You.

Hopefully you will find a Direction or two that speaks to You as An Art Creative Artist? ( How 24 Artists Break Free, of Creative Limitations, in the Artists Network, 2021 ).

  • Always Be Learning–Take a workshop from an Artist whose work is different from yours,- Sandy W. Ask other Artists about their processes, learn something New, practice your Art skills. You’ll be surprised how many Artists, are willing to Share their creative flows with you.- Rachel S
  • Switch It Up–It’s an experiment only if You have never done it, You cannot experiment with the familiar.- Bob C Forget who you are. Step outside your Boundaries and set yourself Art free. I switched from Oils to watercolour and from detailed Realism to Big bold brush strokes and Abstracts. When I go back to Oils, I can do it with a Fresh approach.- Cindy R.

7 Studio Session Jump-Starts

Feeling uninspired? Do not know where to begin? Need a Nudge to get back to the Easel? Try these Seven ideas to Power up your Creativity.

  • Jean Grastorf says, a change can be Productive and Beneficial. If you Paint large, paint small. If you Paint transparent, mix things up with opacity. Or if you paint realistically, try Working abstractly. If you Work with abstract concepts, try Painting your surroundings. If you Paint landscapes, try a Self-portrait. Be Open to Change, and be Confident that the bucket of Creativity is there. It just needs a little time to get it all Moving Again.

If the Art Creativity has gone missing from your Art Studio, try Welcoming it back with the folllowing points, used by Grastorf, and the Other Painter and Instructors, Like Mike Bailey and Antonio Masi.

  • Find Inspiration among your Art Materials–Art materials are Beautifully Inspirational, so keep them out during your Studio session.
  • Change your Subject and palette–Grastorf says Paint a series. Use the Same technique, change the Palette of Colors and the Subject. The result will be Totally different.
  • Go back to Move forward–Older, Unresolved paintings can trigger New Inspiration and Ideas. Revisiting, them eliminates the Fear of a Blank sheet of paper, and the Physical acts of drawing and painting, Light up the Creative areas of the brain.
  • Antonio Masi Keeps His Creativity By, Gesso-ing–When I have not painted for some time, I use two Gesso Techniques. Build a Smooth gesso foundation, I usually have an Idea of what to paint, in my Studio. I take a can of gesso, a palette knife and some Old brushes, I apply a Thick layer of gesso onto a Sheet of 300-lb. paper. I let the gesso harden completely, which results in a Reflective surface, and Brilliant paint Colors can Be added. Add Texture using gesso. Sometimes I Create peaks and Valleys while the gesso is still Moist on the paper. By pressing an Object into the gesso, then removing the Item and letting the gesso dry. Channels for Rivers of paint are ready, to flow through, Producing, amazing results.
  • Lift to Add–Lifting – Removing paint with a brush, paper towel or tissue – is a Subtractive process, and one I employ, to Start a Watercolor painting quickly. I apply Diluted gesso on a 300-lb. Sheet of paper and let it dry. Using a Large brush, I apply an overall Dominant color and Let it dry. Next, I add the darks. Using a Stiff brush in Various sizes dipped in clean water, I begin creating the light areas. Which I then Scrub and blot with a paper towel. I continue until I have Achieved the desired whiteness, almost Back to the white of the Untouched surface. When the paint is dry, I add the Final touches of color.
  • Mike Bailey Pushes His Artistic Boundaries–Challenge yourself , to push your Art creative boundaries. Set up a Still Life and make a Series of 20 Paintings, without Varying or changing the Composition or point of view. Focus on just One of the Seven elements of design– Line, size, shape, space, color, texture and value, in each of the Paintings. For example? how many ways can A line be used in a Single painting? How does a warm color palette Impact the setup? What about a Cool palette? What happens if you Merge or distort the shapes? The goal was always to Explore, What would Happen If?…From this came many Realizations and discoveries.
  • In doing So–By Manipulating the various Elements of design, I found I could create different Emotions or moods. That textures could make a Non-objective painting extraordinary, that a Line could be used in Plethora of ways to Enliven a design, that colors in Various contexts made or ruined a Painting, and so Many more, Ideas… ( Article, Art inspiration, Watercolor. Art Network 2021 ).

The Following Painting is My Unique Attempt at Mixed Media, Art Creating. I drew the Picture of the Girl, from a Free Photo stock photo, in my Unique Style. Then I used Acrylic Paints to mix colors to Paint over the Drawing. When dry, I used Watercolors, Acrylic paints, Gel pens and Fine marker, to Complete the Painting. I think the Effect in this Painting is Different and Original, to the work I have Art Created, Previously…

Inspiring Mixed Media

Art is a highly Multifarious range of Visual or performed works that Express the Art creators ideas or skills and Appeal to the Viewers, Senses or emotions. Art can be created with anything, and Not necessarily any one thing. When different Media or materials are used to Art create Unique visual art, it is called Mixed Media Art.

The use of Mixed media began, around 1912 when Cubists, like Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, started adding Collages to their canvases. Gradually the Art form became Widespread as Artists developed, increasingly Open attitudes to the Media of art. Surrealists, Abstract Expressionists, Pop Artists, and Brit Artists, jumped onto the Mixed media bandwagon, and Expanded the Art vocabulary.

How to Start Mixed Media Art?

Mixed Media Artists work with a Variety of media in a Single artwork. To get started with Mixed media art, begin by Looking at things around you. You need a Sturdy material, which can Act as a base like a Paper, sketchbook, a box, or any such object, you have Access to. Begin working with Media, that you are already Familiar with. If you Work with watercolors, you can, add Highlights with colored pencils or markers. You can Create collages by rearranging, Elements in your work using Paper, canvas or woodblocks.

In the Painting that Follows below, my Attempt at Mixed Media Collage, was from a Free Photo stock photo of a Landscape Scenery in Canada. I drew the picture in my Free style, Unique way. I cut out shapes of stars, moons, and rocks, for the collage part of this painting, preparation. I then glued the shapes on blank Watercolor paper. I then drew the Picture, of the Landscape and the Deer. Then I made an Acrylic wash, to paint over the Area. When dry, I used Watercolors, Acrylics, and Later Fine marker to Complete the Mixed Media Collage, Painting.

This painting is My Unique and Original Contribution to this Art Creation, it gave Me great pleasure to Create this painting. When initially Starting the painting it was difficult to work out, what I needed to do. As I worked at Looking and Mixing Colours, the Tempo sped up, and before I knew it, I had this Painting.

Experiment with New, inventive techniques in Mixed Media. Adopt a spontaneous Playful approach to Creating your work. Remember to have Fun along the way! Artists who work in the field of Mixed media, and get recognized can come from a Variety of backgrounds. They can have Formal training in Fine arts, or have Experience in the craft. As with many Art genres, many Artists are self-taught.

If you are a Mixed media Artist, you can showcase your Art creations on your Portfolio website in a clean, Minimalist way. Your website will represent you Style of work and attract, more Clients and inquiries. Opportunities abound, but you have to make sure that Viewers understand the Idea and Concept behind your work. ( Article, in All Posts Art Learn, 2021 ).

We have found Out, that if You as the Artist, explore and Mix Up Art Media, in your attempts at Art Creating, that the Possibilities are Endless. Your Art Creations will be Unique and Original Work, because you took your Ideas, and Different Media and attempted the Impossible in Your Art Creating, with the Processes, in Your Art Studio’s…

Create A Series of Paintings, Why Not?… and My Art Creations.

In this Blog, Create A Series of Paintings, Why Not?. I am Thinking, you will find this an Interesting Preposition, to Think about, and to Explore Further in this Blog? I Think this all Sounds, Exciting and Very interesting, when we are Art Creative Artists. It could Be Necessary Information that we have in our thoughts, to help us to Succeed as Artists?

Why Create A Series of Paintings?– Lynn McLain says, in her Article in the Artists Network, ( 2016 ), Challenge Yourself to Create a Series of Paintings. McLain thinks that seeing Everyday subjects in Imaginative ways, can create a whole Newer world of Art Creating. How?, by Pushing yourself to Explore the subjects in a Series of Paintings. You will Without doubt be nicely surprised, with the Art Creation outcome.

McLain initially mastered Technique, and then Wondered what it was that she was trying to Art Express? It was from this Point, that she began searching for Something New, different, Something to fill her Creative Emptiness.

McLain thought to look for a Painting subject, that would offer Textual excitement, with Design Challenges. It was this Reflection, and Visual search that led her to do Two different paintings, that changed the Perspective of the Art, she Created. The first was a Self-portrait from an Aerial perspective looking down onto her Bald Head. She honestly believes this was all about Her, Life Circumstances at that time. It was also a Vehicle on the way, to searching for a Newer Creative Self…

The Second Painting that had an impact in her Search for a Newer Direction, featured a Road that left the Landscape and Travelled up to the sky. At this Point she Noticed, the Excellent Art Composition Possibilities.

McLain said that, this was what lead to, Gradual Thought Processes, Awareness, and Faith that Led to the First Series of Her Paintings.

You Wonder, what is A Series of Art Created Paintings. A Series is an Artistic Way, to show the Extraordinary Qualities, in the everyday Visual Landscape, that we as Life Observers See, On A Daily Basis… Like the Beauty of Colours, textures, and the Extreme Contrasts in Light and Dark, which are Found Everywhere…

When McLain Art Created in this Manner Initially, she did paint Realistically. At this point in time, she Crops and Embellishes the Subject and she Proceeds to Paint, and The Result is Abstract Art Work.

A Series Allows for the Subject Topic, to Reveal itself to the Observant Viewer, which in return gives, Endless Art Creative Possibilities. It gives the Artist, a Huge Platform, to Explore and Work, on Unique Art Creations. The outcome is, Similar or Different in A Series, which is the Continuation of a Subject, or Topic.

In Starting a Series, think about Making a list of all things you are attracted to. Could it be Light, Shadow, Colour. Maybe a Specific Location?, you should think about the questions to ask Yourself and Not Focus wholly on the Answers… To conclude this Article, McLain, says Working In A Series, will Strengthen Your Paintings Skills, Improve your Visual Understanding of a Subject, and Show You, How to Best Express Your Ideas. Making your Creative Skills come Alive, as in choosing the Best Composition, Colour, for the Next Painting in the Series…

The Following Paintings are my Series of Paintings, based on Prayer Temples. In this case, the Temple is the Same, I have used Different Media to Embellish and Art Create the Four Paintings. I have labeled the Paintings as to what came into my Mind when, the Paintings had been Coloured and Completed.

The First painting, was made in Faber Castell, 12 Classic Colours and Outlined in Sharpie, Fine Liner, Marker. The Second painting, was made in Crayons, Crayola 24– Colours. The Third painting was made in Gel Pens, Itsi Bitsi Gel Pens 36–Colours and Outlined in Sharpie, Fine Liner, Marker. The Fourth painting was made in Watercolour pencils, Faber Castell 36–Colours and Outlined in Sharpie, Fine Liner, Marker.

In this Next Article in the Art Business.com , we Note what the Art Business.com have to say for the,

Reasons for Artists to Make Art in Series–

Advantages to Bodies of Work Over Single Pieces?–If You as the Artist want that we the Audience Understand You and Your Art Creations and Processes, You Need to help Us Figure Out What you are Doing?

The Easist way to do this is to work In A Series, that is to Art Create, Unified, cohesive, coherent Related bodies of work. Many Artists are not fully aware of the Advantages to creating multiple works of art, close to the same Idea, theme, philosophy, concept, topic, composition, or Subject matter.

What most Artist do is Art Create, Onesies or Whatever Strikes My Fancy, which results in Unrelated, disjointed, and incoherent Art Work. A single painting has No Beginning, middle or End. It has no Theme, no plot, no context or Direction. This is called one OFF, Which has No Value or Substance, for the Potential Buyer… The Buyer wants to Experience, how the Art is taking them on a Journey, an adventure, and that Which will Immerse, them in something Bigger and More Meaningful. Progressively, Enlightening or Elucidating them, Along the Artists Journey, which is All Unique Art Creating…

The Article says, when to many Choices are given to a Buyer. People feel Overwhelmed, they do not have the Time or energy, to see the Identity or the purpose of the Artist. Frustrated they Buy Nothing…

The Artists Common excuse for not working in A series, they do not want to be repetive, forced or locked into Compositions or categories. To Then end up in a Dead End, Art Creative Situation. Artist say it is all about their Artistic Freedom, to Produce the, Art They Choose, and Not Be Art Creative Constrained to Produce, A Series, Same or Similar Art.

A Series is not About repetition. It is To be able to Explore, investigate, or Examine particular compositions or Categories, ideas, topics, in a Progressive deeper more Meaningful way. The Experienced Artist will tell you, the more Involved and committed they become, that more Possibilities, Enlighten them. Even if, all the Paintings are related, in Some Way.

This Article concludes, that we as Artists follow this Assertion, For the Artist who Prefer or insist on making different Kinds of art, Work on several Series simultaneously. One last point is, once you Finalize the ideas behind A series of Body of work, stay with them, this is what Will Make you A Success. YOU Will, Advance in Your Art Creative Career.

My Opinion is that An Art Creating, Series? …, is not Original or Unique to the Artist, Individual Need or Choice, to work the Way they make Art Creations, in their Natural way and Progression of their Choosing. Remember Artists, even as, Individuals, we are Not Equal, Not One of Us, We All have our, Methods, of Learning, Creating and Working ( Producing the Art Creations and Work we do? ) I Think this Article is, Untrue, we all Know, that Variety is the Spice of Natural Life. Maybe that is the Reason we Have so Many Problems in Our World?

I conclude that this Idea is Outdated, it was So in the Past Art History, when Art Creating was New. As a New Discipline it was the Rule.. Today, we have Moved, On and Past all these Rules and Constraints… ?Agree???…There are too Many Newer Possibilities, Ideas, Uniqueness, and Media to Use and to Do Things, With…I would like to Hear You Artist’s, Ideas and Thoughts, on What? A Series of Art Works, means to YOU.

I mention how to do Photography and Why, this is important in the Art Creating, Illustration part of Photography. We note if this Art Style is Valuable to Society, and Why. I mention the Computer Art Professional, Cindy Kang, to see what her thoughts, are on this Art Style. I attempt my Version, of Photography into Illustration, Using The Traditional Method. Using My Style, The Impressionist Realist, which is my Unique way of Making Art Creations.

What is Photography Illustration–It Is using Photos to Illustrate an Action, Story or Item. Which are then Better presented, by Adding some form of Visualization. Photos fulfill, better than the Alternative methods, such as Drawings or Paintings.

How to turn Photography into Illustration

The following article is from The Creative bloq. It is all the Information, you need to Inspire you to Turn a Photograph, into your Next Unique Art creation. ( By Cindy Kang, Computer Arts ) September 22, 2020… Kang says the best way to Turn Photography into Illustration, is a Way to, Open UP, A World of Possibilities, for all Your Art Creative Works.

Sometimes you will Sit in Front of a Blank Canvas, and have No Idea how to Start. Cindy Kang, says take Photographs, you Have on your Phone, Laptops, and Look through, these Photos. Photos can give you Ideas, towards Creating an Art Illustration. This initial Visualizing is the Initial idea, that Adds the Finishing touches, to Your Art Creation, at Completion stage.

The Two Paintings which Follow, are My Interpretation of Photography to Illustraion Art Creating. I have made the Paintings in the Traditional Method, in My Unique Style and Technique Use.

Like usual, I did a Search on the Internet, for Free Photo Stock, for Buildings. I chose for the First Painting, for the Background, the Eiffel Tower, Paris. For the Illustration Part, I searched, Free Photo Stock, People, in order to Place over the Photo, of the Building. I came up with a Person’s Hands in the Formation of A Heart. I thought Excellent, Perfect for Paris, the City of Love. Remember I did not use the Illustration Software, that Kanga Talks about, in Her Article, presented to You in This Blog. No I did the Traditional Way, I drew the Background first, and Coloured in the Background, of the Building and the Sky, Trees, with Acrylic Paints. Then I Completed the Illustration, with Watercolours.

In This Painting, I chose Venice, from Free Photo Stock, for the Buildings, Paintings Background. I searched, Free Photo Stock, People for the Top Layer for Illustration. I decided to Use this Model, holding a Ball of the World, I thought so Appropriate to Venice, which is the City of Sighs. The Background was Coloured in Acrylics and the Model was Coloured in Watercolours. Even Though the Traditional Method I used in Both Paintings, is not Realistic, but Impressionist, which is My Unique Style of Art Creating, the Artists Version. Not Kanga’s, Commercial Digital Version. Using the Photograph, onto Photo Shop Software, and then for Her Illustration method, would draw or Reimagine A Drawing or Place a Surreal Photo, over the Background. Whereas Her Work would be Classed as Commercial Art, and Used for Marketing Purposes, in Brochures and In, So many other, Commercial, Adds too.

My Art Work is Traditional, and the Artists Way, in My Style, Impressionist Realist?

The Eight Steps to Create Photographs, into Illustration.

  • Collect pictures-( Photos ) as a Habit. Kang says, you do not need an Expensive Camera or Smartphone. The Photo does not Need to be a Master piece, its for Reference. Take Photos of Buildings, Sunsets, or Random Objects. Keeping photos, Captures, Experiences and Memories in a Visual Form. When you look at These Photos, It Brings back the Moment, and these Can lead you to New and Exciting Ideas, for Your Newer Art Creations.

Videos–Learn Photography

  • Muse on Idea and Themes–A Photo contains a Range of information, not Only limited too, Day, Weather and Location. We can guess the Relationship, between People and even their Emotions. We can Envision a Fun Story, that is Already in the Picture.
  • Test Composition–Working from the Photograph, helps us Test the Composition, before we Move, onto the Next stage, ( The sketch stage ). You can Zoom In and Out, Crop, the Photo, to find the Best formation. With a Good Reference photo, you can easily Figure out, how best to Compose the Illustration. From this Edited photography, you are Ready to Develop a sketch.
  • Inject Imagination–Drawing in Your Style you then, add some Imaginary elements and the Story in the Illustration comes Alive. Remember Pure Imagination serves as a way for Expression, for the Ideas, that you Aim to Portray through Your Illustration Art Creations…
  • Be Inspired by Colour–The colours in Photographs can be used Directly in your Art Creations. You can also, Edit the Colours to fit the Tones, and Warmth of the Mood, That you need to Create in the Art Illustration.
  • Add Light and Shadow–At the end of the Illustrating process, I look to find the Light and the Shadows shapes…The shadows have a Visual impact, on the Atmosphere of A Composition… It is the Light and shadows, that give the Depth and The Surreal feeling to an Illustration. By combining the Realistic background, Shadow and an Imaginative story or Situation, you give the Illustration, A Sense of An ALIVE REALITY.
  • Apply The Final Textures–The Final step, in the Illustration is adding the Final Brush Strokes and the Paper Texture. Kanga, adds a Scanned photo onto, Photoshop. Then changes the Layer blending Mode, to Multiply. By Adjusting the Colour Balance, You can Control how much Texture, you want to Show in the Art Creation.
  • Ask for Feedback–The Photographic elements, of the Composition background Colours and Other details, help to provide the Starting point, for Exploring Ideas. Then We can Say, that the Illustration, is an Excellent tool, for Communication. Which Then Encourages People to share their Stories, and to Feel Connected with Each other through this Newer, Art Creation… It is all A Newer Experience, which Recreates our Memories of Places, People, Situations, Emotions and Objects. ( Information in the CB, Creative Bloq, September 22, 2020. )

In Conclusion to this Blog, Photography into Illustration. We can Say that Yes this is a Valid Art Creation Style. Commercial in Nature, used mostly in Marketing and Advertising. The Computer Arts, Cindy Kang makes a good point in saying that Photography, Illustration, is very important for the Commercial, Marketing and Advertising, Experience. This mode of making Art Creating, is Beneficial and Productive. Using Photos and Software, to make the Art Creation in Record time, and with Professional Ease.

Christmas 2020, Christmas Cards and Art Inspiration…

In this Blog I tell you the True Story of Christmas, which Was and Will Forever Be. I will be giving you information, on Art Inspiration, as in Art Creation and Art Branding, which is the Genius Art Forms that we as Humans Art Create, or Give Life to, through our Unique, Thoughts and Actions. I have Art Created, Three Christmas Cards, for You…

Christmas?– What is Christmas?…–Christmas, 25 December, was the Date designated as the Day of Jesus, Birth, by Sextus Julius Africannus in 221. This became the Universally Accepted Date. The Explanation for this Date, is that The 25 December, was the Christianizing of the ‘Dies Solis Invicti Nati’ ( ‘The day of the Birth of the Unconquered Sun’ ). Which was a Popular Holiday in the Roman Empire, celebrating the Winter Solstice, as a Symbol of the Resurgence of the Sun. Which was the Throwing away of Winter, and the Welcoming the Rebirth of Spring and Summer time. The 25 December, became Accepted as the Birth of ‘ ‘Jesus’. Christians made this Connection, of the Rebirth of the Sun, with the Birth of the Son, ‘Jesus’.

The Second idea, suggests that The, 25 December the Date of ‘ Jesus Birth ‘, identified with The Spring Equinox, as the Date of the Creation of the World, and the Fourth day of Creation, when The Light was created, which is the day of ‘ Jesus Conception ‘, ( The, 25 March ). The 25 December, is Nine Months later, and so We have, The 25 December, Christmas Day, which means the Christ ( Jesus ), Mas ( day ), which is The Birth of Jesus Celebration, of JESUS’S, Holy Birthday.

Christmas began to be Celebrated, with the Liturgy, in the 9thy Century. The Roman Catholic Church Celebrated the First Christmas Mass at Midnight. The Protestant Churches held, Christmas Candlelight services, in the Late Evening of The, 24 December. The Christmas Service, combines The Christmas Carols, with Scripture Readings, Narrating the Salvation History, from the Fall in the Garden of Eden, and To The Coming of The Christ, ‘ Jesus ‘.

Towards the end of the 18th Century, Giving Gifts to Family Members, was Established.

The following Christmas Cards, I made for Christmas, 2020…

Art Passion, and How to be the Artist You Are? and My Art Too…

In this Blog, Art Passion, and How to be the Artist You Are, we Question what is Art Passion. Let us, see if we can find out where, this Art Passion, Originates and If this Condition, actually Exists in Society or In the Individual Artist. I have attempted to Art Create, Four Art Creations, of my Choosing.

Art-What is Art?–It is the use of Skill and imagination in the Creation, of Aesthetic objects, environment, or in Experiences that can be shared, with others.

Visual Art–Is defined as the Language of visual signs, which Convey ideas, feelings, or moods.

Art–Is a diverse Range of human activities, which involve the Creation of visual, auditory or performing artifacts ( Art works ), which express the Creator’s imagination, conceptual ideas, or technical skill. Intended to be appreciated Primarily for beauty or emotional power. (in the–en.wikipedia.org/wiki/art ).

Flowers All Around. Mixed Media. Marie. Crimi. 2020…

What is Art Passion?–Art is more than a Hobby, it is a Burning passion, that Lights a fire in People’s souls. When thoughts of Extinguishing that fire are talked about, it is Evident that souls, ( People ), will keep the Fires burning. Our opinions are Truly our own, so here we have all the Power to keep on Fighting to keep the fire, ( Passion ) alive, Within us In a, Macro/micro Society…

Artist Passion. Mixed Media Collage. Marie. Crimi. 2020…

We cannot Live without Art creating, because it is What we are, and we Create what we love. Be it Art, language or in any other Area of our interests. People are Different by nature, so we Need to respect, Peoples different Art passions, of choice… ( Information in, https:www.theodysseyonline.com/passion-the-arts ).

Music, Music. Mixed Media Collage. Marie. Crimi. 2020…

Artists Network Staff, say ” There are times when we compare ourselves to others, when we Judge our Art creations “, why we do what we do, this is all Human nature, to Question ourselves, and our Motives as to why? There is no one thing, that Stops Artists from giving up, by throwing away, their Tools of Art creating?, and to just Live an Average life. But the Fact is once the fire is Alive, it Cannot stop the Artist, because beauty and the, personal satisfaction, which is Passion, will not Let the Artist stop, Art creating.

The text by Tesla Blackburn on Acrylic painting with Passion, talks of Art passion…this text is a Treasure box of Inspiration, it gives Techniques for Acrylic and Mixed media, art. The Title in the text, ‘ Explorations for creating art, that Nourishes the soul ‘. When you Question why you Create art?, You must Stop and celebrate this Passion. Which helps you to keep on Giving and giving of your Art passion. So do not Deny yourself this passion, and be the Artist you were Naturally born to be. Create, create and keep Art creating, for You and for other Peoples, Enjoyment and judgement. ( In the Artist’s Magazine–on Artist Inspiration. )

How to be an Artist?–You develop a Body of work. You can then, Work as an Artist, or study for Formal qualifications, in the Visual arts, or fine arts, and more too. ( Information in, http://www.seek.com.au./career-advice/role/artist )

The best way to be an Artist?–Observe the world around you, and Reflect. In your art work, Notice how the light changes during the day, how colors, affect you, how an Interaction makes you Feel. ( information in, http://www.wikihow.com/become-an-artist )

San Marco’s Square, Venice. Watercolors. Marie. Crimi. 2020…

What to do with other Artists?, Visit Art studios. go to Art gallery openings, in your Area. Art galleries are Great places, to Meet people and see other Artist’s works. You may be Inspired, to try a New technique…

( Look for the following information in, http://www.wikiHow.com-become-an-artist )

Part One–Learning the basics on your Own–

  • Try a generous selection, of differing mediums of art.
  • Recognize your strengths and weaknesses.
  • Do your research and learn the basics.
  • Get the supplies, you will need for the medium you have chosen.
  • Observe the world around you, with the eye of an artist.
  • Make time, for your art every day.
  • Seek the opinions of others. Develop your own style.

Part Two–Learning from Others

  • Enrol in local art classes… ( Explore in, wikiHow.com… )

What it means to be An Artist?–24/8/2016-Merriam-Webster’s dictionary says that an artist is? ‘ A Person who Creates Art ‘, Nothing more nothing less. Art is found in, Many forms of expression, could be in Sketching and painting, in Music making, and in taking Photos, Body movement, in Dance, the Arrangement of words into stories, and in Many other areas, of Artistic endeavor. The truth is Anyone can be an Artist, an Artist can look like Anything, there is No definition of a style… the Truth is the artist, is all about Finding your comfort area, and your Beauty. How to best Express yourself, through your Art creations. Being an Artist is A Self proclamation, You make the choice, to be An artist, in Your area of Choice…

Texts on, Passion for Art

Videos on, Art Passion

In concluding this Blog on Art Passion, and How to be the Artist you Are?, I have only One thing to say, although there are Many things to say. Art Passion is A Personal choice for the Artist, to choose. Art Passion is an Expression the Artist chooses, to Express in her/his Personal Way. This is a Burning Light within the Artist, that is Natural to the Artist, and this Light, cannot be Extinguished by the Artist. The Artist, must keep on Art Creating, Anyway she/he can, For Expression and to Feel As Normal, in Our Progressive, Cultural Societies.

  • Inktober 2020, I decided to do a Free Photos Stock Search this Year for, Baby Animals and Small Children. The First part of the Art Challenge is on Baby Animals, and I drew, the First Seven pages, on the 1st of October, 2020. My Method was, to Colour Two pages, each day. For the week. On the Monday of the Second Week, I drew Eight Pages of Baby Animals, and each day, I Coloured in Two Pages. This way, I Was a Day Ahead of Schedule. This is my Unique way of Doing all My Work. If I should be delayed for a Day, I Stay on schedule. This Causes me, No Stress, nor any Premature Worry.
  • The beginning of the Third Week, I drew Seven pages, of Small Children, and Proceeded to Colour the Two pages each Day. The Start of the Fourth Week, I Drew Eight Pages and Continued to Colour, as In my Usual Method.
  • The Colours I used, to Colour in the Baby Animals, were the Budget, pans of Watercolours, of Twelve Colours. These Watercolours were easy to apply to the Art Journal Paper, they gave a Rough Watercolour Finish, to the Paintings.
  • The Colours I Used to Colour in the Small Children, were a Budget set of Twelve Colours, called Pearl Watercolours. Very Easy to use on the Art Journal Paper, and the Colours give a Professional Finish to the Paintings. They Cost a Little Extra for the Set, of Watercolours.
  • Initially to draw the Drawings, I Used the 2B, Eco Very Light Black Pencil, easy to draw with, and easy to Erase, leaving No marks, behind. In time the Pencil drawing part, disappears, in the completed, Art Work.
  • To give a Professional Look to the Completed Art Work, I Outlined the Baby Animal Paintings, in Fine Liner Marker in Dark Navy. For the Small Children Paintings, I outlined the Paintings, in Fine Liner Marker, in Dark Black.

The Following Paintings of Baby Animals, are Five, From Fifteen other Animal Paintings.

The Reason I chose Baby Animals and Small Children, for this Years Inktober, is because I felt the need to point out that Baby Animals and Small Children are Similar, in that they are both Happy, Full of Energy and Highly Loving and Playful. I think, that is Why Children are Attracted to the Baby Animals.

Our Holy Lady, and My Birthday…

In this Blog, Our Holy Lady, and My Birthday, I present to you the History of the Holy Rosary. Together with the Art History, the Aesthetics of Drawing. I will give You, My Birth History, if you Read? You will find it Amazing. You will Realise Why the Rosary is Important to us as Human Beings, and Why We Need to Pray, the Rosary…The Paintings of Our Lady, are My Birthday Gift, to Our Lady…

Mother Mary–is known as the Mother of the Messiah, Jesus Christ, who is the Saviour of the world. Mother Mary, was a willing Woman, who Trusted God and obeyed his call…The Bible, Reference: say: Jesus’ Mother Mary is mentioned through the Gospels and in Acts 1.14. The Hometown of Mother Mary, was Nazareth in Galilee. Information all in the, ( http://www.learn religions.com/Mary )

Our Pure Holy Lady. Mixed Media Collage. Marie. Crimi. 2020…

Who was Mary, the Mother of Jesus?–Miriam is Hebrew, Mary is a blend of Two Greek Names, Mariam and Maria. Both the names, Miriam and Mary, were chosen by God, to guard God’s chosen leaders, in their Infancy. When the World’s Authorities sought, to kill their Children.

Mother Marys Feast Day is celebrated on 7th October, each Year. This date and Month has a Great Significance for Me, because October is my Birth Month, and My Parents met at the Celebration, of Our Holy Lady, at the Blessing of the Fleet, which is Celebrated in Fremantle, WA, around the 19th of October each year, my Birthdate. My Mother arrived in Fremantle from her Home, of Messina, Sicily on the 7th October, 1957. I was born on the Celebration Day of Our Holy Lady, the Day my Parents were Introduced. Our Holy Lady, is Miraculous, and Our Lady answered my Prayer, and I LIVE, I am a Testament of Her Miracle. Please Pray the Holy Rosary, Our Holy Lady Listens and Answers Prayers. God Bless Our Lady, and Bless Her Name, and All the Mothers in the World. Amen Amen.

Holy Mother Mary. Mixed Media Collage. Marie. Crimi. 2020…

In Honour or Our Holy Lady of The Holy Rosary, I am Giving You this Holy Information, on the Holy Mother of Our World. Our Holy Lady Guides and Protects all Mothers in the World, and All Of Humanity are Protected and Shielded, from all Evil Forces, in this Material World.

In How this acknowledgement of Our Holy Lady, contributes to This Art Blog Today, is as in the Aesthetics of drawing, which has a Unique place in Art History.

How?, In Expressionism– Expressionism has a Long and varied History in the making of Drawings and Art in general. Unlike the Classical traditions, which often embody Peace and harmony, Expressive traditions and Practices present Energy, activity and dynamic interrelations, between the Elements of the Drawing and the viewer. Expressive approaches can include Line as well as value. In the West, we often think of the late Greek Hellenistic sculptures as the Prototypes for this tradition. Expressionistic Art forms, exist in most World Cultures. However, for Example, the Temple sculptures of India are extremely Sensual, emotional and dynamic in their presentation. The Essential elements of Expressionism are Lines, tones and marks, that Evoke a strong Sense of Energy and Emotional response. Expressionism in drawing involves a Desire to move the Viewer to a Feeling of Energetic interaction and Emotional and even a Physical response. Such Approaches might be another Avenue to Personal exploration and Self-expression for You as the Creative Artist, and Thinker. Information in the, Art Theory, ( Aesthetics of Drawing ) in the Artist and Illustrators, pages: 51-53…

Mother Mary’s importance in the Catholic Faith–Mary is the Central figure in the Catholic Faith. Her life shows us how, God works in our lives. Mary was born into a Basic life, and yet Mary was chosen by God, our Father the Almighty, to fill the Extraordinary role, where Mary was to be the Mother of our Lord, Jesus Christ. The Catholic Faith, teaches the Three Core Values, in our lives, and How we Treat other people.

  • The value of Humility–Is The fundamental value we should all have, as Christians. Mary teaches us, that Pride and selfishness we should Avoid. Mary as the Mother of God, remained Humble at all times, and served our Lord, with Deep devotion. The Marian value of Humility, teaches us to put Others first. When we are Humble, we do not Act selfish, and we Tune into the Way and will of God.
  • The value of Simplicity–Mary, our Holy Lady lived Simply. Mary, accepted what was given to her, with Grace and Humility. In the world, Material wealth is everything. Remember with being Obsessed with the Material, which Deludes us into Believing that True happiness, is found, in the Material world, and Not in the, Spiritual. Being Simple encourages us to Trust in God, rather then in our Own Shallow and superficial dreams. Simplicity also reminds us that the World, is an Illusion and that Our True home is in Eternity, at the end of our Earth life. Simplicity, helps us to Become closer to People who are Needy, because we can All relate to them? We treat people, like God would, with Hearts of Gold, (God)…
  • The value of Charity–A Mother, is about being Charitable and Deeply generous in her Actions. It is the Act of Sacrifice. In the Catholic religion, Love and Charity is the Theological virtue that, helps us to Love God, more than Anything else. We Receive more, when we Give. It is an Act of Sacrifice, which Nourishes our Soul. https://www.christianity.com/wiki/holidays…

The Blessed Virgin Mary–Is known as many Names, Blessed Virgin, Mother Mary, Our Lady, Mother of God, Queen of Angels, Mary of Sorrows, and Queen of the Universe. Mary is the Patron Saint of all Human beings, watching over Them all, with Motherly care. As her Major role as the Mother of Jesus Christ, who Christians believe is the World’s Saviour. All Christians (both Catholic, Protestant) and Muslims believe in the Miracle of the Virgin birth, in which Mary conceived Jesus Christ, as a Virgin, through the Power of the Holy Spirit.

Mary our Holy Lady, is honoured as a Spiritual Mother to people of Many Faiths, including, Muslims, Jewish and New Age Believers. https://www.learn religions.com/who-is-the-virgin-Mary

Our Lady of the Holy Rosary–Our Lady of Victory, is the Title of the Blessed Virgin Mary, in Relation to the Rosary. The feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, known formely as Our Lady, of Victory and The Feast of the Holy Rosary, is a Feast, of the Roman Catholic Church. The Feast is Celebrated on the 7th October, Each year. Which was the Historic Anniversary, of the Victory of the Fleet of the Holy League, in 1571, which was over the Battle of the Ottoman Navy, at the great Battle of Lepanto.

The history of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary–The Domenican tradition, says that in 1206, St Dominic was in the Prouille, in France, where he was Converting Albigensions, to the Catholic Faith. One day St Dominic, had a Vision of the Blessed Holy Virgin–who gave to him, the Holy Rosary as the Tool, to use Against, the Unbelievers of the Catholic Religion. The actual Rosary prayer, owes this Greatness, as the Holy prayer, to the Original followers of St Dominic, which also Includes the 15th Century Priest and teacher, Alanus de Rupe.

Our Lady of the Holy Rosary. Mixed Media Collage. Marie. Crimi. 2020…

Our Lady and Victory–in 1571, Pope Pius V, organised a Coalition of forces from Spain, and a few Smaller Kingdoms, Republicans and Military orders, to Rescue the Christian outposts in Cyprus. On the 7th October, 1571, the Holy league, a Southern European Catholic and Maritime states, sailed from Messina, Sicily, and met the powerful Ottoman fleet, in the Battle of Lepanto. The Christian forces were Disadvantaged, the Holy Pontiff, Pope Pius V, called for all Europe to Pray the Holy Rosary for Victory, and there was a Rosary Procession in Rome. After 5 hours of fighting, on the Gulf of Corinth, off Western Greece, the Natives of the Papal states, Venice, and Spain, stopped the Ottoman Navy. The Ottoman Empire built New ships, but Never–recovered the Big Loss of their Trained sailors. Never becoming the Mediterranean Naval Power, in The World’s History, AGAIN.

Our Holy Lady of Victory. Mixed Media Collage. Marie. Crimi. 2020…

In Conclusion to this Blog in Honour of Our Holy Lady of Victory, we should Pray the Holy Rosary, because Our Holy Lady is All of Humanities Protection, from all the Evil Forces in this Material World, in which we all Live. The Aesthetics of the above Drawings, appeal to our Personal Defintions of Our Lady, as our Protector in the World, and Hopefully help us turn to Our Lady and Pray the Rosary, for Our Protection and the Protection, Guidance for ALL our Family Members, and for ALL OF HUMANITY…

Thank you for visiting this Blog, if You Agree, Like and Share, Thanking You. See You All Next Blog. Be Safe, Social Distance and be Active. Pray the Holy Rosary, at All Times.

Art Inspiration and My Art Too…

In this Blog, about Inspiration, I think it is interesting to find out where Inspiration comes from, why some individuals are highly Gifted in some area, and Other people, inspiration never comes into their Lives. Or are we all Gifted in other Areas, that are not as Noticeable. It would be Interesting to, Know what People think, about this topic, Inspiration?, after reading this Blog. I will be sharing, two Inspirational, Paintings I Art Created…

Artistic Inspiration– Is from the Latin Word ‘Inspirare’–means, ‘ To breathe in’, which is an Unconscious burst of Creativity. The Greeks believed that Inspiration or enthusiasm, came from the, Muses, and the Gods, Apollo and Dionysus. Also in the Norse Religions, Inspiration also is from the Gods, Like, Odin? In the Hebrew poetics, it is Divine inspiration, and from what is, the Material, that give us the Inspiration. Further in the book of Amos, the Prophet is overwhelmed, by God’s voice and speaks in Christianity. Inspiration is a Gift from the Holy Spirit. In the 18th century, the philosopher John Locke said, that the Human mind is where the Ideas resonate in the mind? In the 19th century, the Romantic poets Coleridge and Shelley, believed that the Poets inspiration, came to Them, because they was attuned, to the Divine, or mystical, ‘Winds’, this is why, the Poet received these Visions. The Psychiatrist Carl Custav Jung’s, theory of Inspiration, suggests that the Artist is attuned to A Cultural Memory that is encoded, with the, Genius, Archetypes of the Human mind.

The Marxist theory of Art see’s it, as An expression of the Friction between the Economic Base and the, Economic Superstructures, position, In the World. We can say, it is the Hidden, Dialogue of the Competing ideologies, in the world. Which is All, the Exploitation of the Ruling Classes’ , ideology.

In Modern Psychology, Inspiration is not, frequently studied, but is Acknowledged as the Individual’s Internal, Genius Mind.. ( in Wikipedia.org )

Art Inspiration Ideas

Websites: Art Inspiration

History of Concepts– Inspiration

Ancient models of Inspiration– In Greek thought, inspiration meant, that he/she would go into Ecstasy, or the Divine frenzy or madness? Revelation is a Conscious process, where the Writer or painter is aware and Interactive with a vision. While the Inspiration is involuntary, and received without any Complete understanding. In Christianity, inspiration is a Gift of the Holy spirit. In Northern societies, such as Old Norse, inspiration was associated with a Gift from the Gods. Inspiration is a Product of Genius Unsought ‘ Though desired ‘, Uncontrolled, irresistible, which involves the Art creatives, Whole Mind and body, fundamentally it is a gift, from Above?…

Renaissance Revival– A theory of Divine Fury enthusiasm, was elaborated by Pontus de Tyard, in his Solitaire Premier. Tyard classified, Four kind of Divine inspiration, 1) Poetic, Fury, Gift of the Muses, 2) Knowledge of Religions mysteries, 3) Prophercy and divination through Apollo, 4) Inspiration bought on by, Venus/Eros.

Enlightenment and Romantic Models– in the 18th century, in England, Nascent Psychology competed with Renascent celebration, of the Mystical nature of Inspiration. John Locke’s Model of the human mind, said that, Ideas associate with one another, and that String in the mind, can be struck with a Memorable idea. Therefore we can say, Inspiration is Random thought, a Natural combining of Ideas, which results as a Union of thoughts?.

Inspiration Birth– came to the individual, through his Attuning to the ( Divine or Mystical ), ‘Winds’, therefore, he was able to receive, such Genius, visions. therefore inspiration is Evident of the genius, and this Genius was what the individual took pride in. Although he Could not claim, to have Created the inspiration himself.

Modernist and Modern concepts– Sigmund Fraud, and other later Psychologists, located Inspiration in the Inner psyche of the Artist. The Artists inspiration, came out of Unresolved Psychological conflict, or childhood trauma. Therefore inspiration could come, directly from the Unconscious mind.

Material theories of inspiration– Are a Combination of Purely internal and Purely external sources. In Modern psychology, inspiration is Not studied seriously, even though it is seen as an Internal?, or External process. Whether the argument is, for Empiricist or Mystical?. Inspiration is?, by Nature, beyond the Individuals control.

Art Inspiration Maybe. Mixed Media. Marie. Crimi. 2020…

Takeshi Okada and Kentaro Ishibushi, in 2016, published in the Multi–disciplinary Journal, Cognitive science, in which Japanese undergraduate art students, were observed. To find out, if Copying or simply Musing, example Art works, served as Inspiration , would Increase, their Creative output?… This Observation gave different results. it was Concluded from this experiment that, it Did challenge the Student’s perspective on drawing. they give the example, of the Artists, Pablo Picasso and Vincent van Gough, who did Greatly ‘ imitate art ‘ creative works, by Other artists. which suggests, that ‘imitation’ is an effective driver of Art creativity, even for the Expert professionals… ( Information in the Wikipedia, free Encyclopedia.

In conclusion to this Blog, we can say that Genius Inspiration is a Gift from Above, the Gods? or is it A Culture Memory, that is encoded in our minds, is it a Hidden World Ideology that is Internal, or external, is inspiration an Idea a Thought, or do we Acquire inspiration by Copying or by Simply absorbing what we see in the Outer world Sphere? Or Could it Be, something beyond our Internal or External Beings? Who really knows?, the answer, why some people are Gifted– Genius’s, and other lack in most areas of the Intellect? Or are we all Gifted in some way? You see we can Question this Issue, Inspiration but who knows the truth…

Giclee’ and My Art Prints…

In this Blog we see what the word Giclée means, and how the Artist can use Giclée to their Advantage. We find out what is needed to Produce these prints, and how these Prints are to be priced, and Why, the difference in Price and Value? I have also made Two paintings, for this Blog.

Wikipedia, says that the Word Giclée was made up by Jack Duganne in 1991. He was working as a Printmaker at Mash Editions. He needed a name for a Modified Iris printer, which was a Large format, High – Resolution industrial; Pre-press proofing Inkjet printer, where the paper was Attached to a rotating drum, which had been Adapted for Fine Art printing. The word to be used, was a word that was different from, the Commercial Iris prints, in the Printing industry.

Giclée is based on the French word Gicleur, the Technical name for Jet or nozzle, meaning a Spurt of liquid. Giclée is the noun, that Duganne chose.

Giclée-Fine Art Archival, printed by Inkjet. It is often used by Artists, Galleries, and Print shops, to Output, A High quality printing. It is a Unregistered word, therefore it has no Warranty associated with the Print, Quality factor?…

Artists use Injet printing to make reproductions of their Original Two – Dimensional Artwork, Photographs, or Computer – Generated art. Professional prints are expensive on a Per print basis. A printing plate needs to be Set up and a storage, is needed for a Large four – colour, Offset print runs. Whereas Inkjet printing, has the advantage in that it allows the Artist, to take total control, of the Reproduction of their, Original images and can Colour correct and use their, Papers of choice .This allows the Individual artist to, Own and operate their Own printers, in whichever way they Need or choose too, at Economy rates… In the, Giclée-Wikipedia (https://enWikipedia.org/wiki/Giclée).

Information by Christine Clark, on Giclée? Here we have another Perspective on Giclée?, Why Giclée?, Giclée is pronounced Gi as Genie and clay as in, well, clay, Fine art reproduction, is a Museum quality, High resolution Digital image, on Rag Art Papers, and on Fine canvas. This is the Modern alternative for Art lovers. The State-of-the-art equipment, captures the Emotional essence, of the Artist’s original work. The Finest quality materials are used, these are recognised for their Archival qualities. Giclée, reproduction gives the Deep and saturated colours to the Art print. This all gives a Paint quality, that retains Small, and subtle tints, and all the Detail of the Original artwork.

Pelican’s Day Out. Mixed Media. Marie. Crimi. 2020…

Caring for your Giclée’s, you treat Giclée’s as any Original art work. you Frame the print, with care, for this will Affect the life of the Image. Do not display in UV light or heat. Archival canvas Giclée’s are all Coated with a Special UV inhibiting liquid, to Add A Life span and to Enrich the colours, of the print.

Framing canvas Giclée’s – Use the Correct profile for the Stretcher frames. The Canvas should not be Stretched the same tension, as a Blank canvas, that is to be painted on. Over stretching, could cause Separation of the Coating, from the Base of the canvas.

Framing paper Giclée’ s- When framing a Quality paper Giclée, always use a Well known framer, of Archival products, that uses Matts, Spacers to keep the print from, touching the glass. Once framed your Giclée, should give you Years of pleasure, provided it is displayed correctly. In, ( Christine Clark Art/Giclée information ), http://christine clark art.com.au/giclée/information

Everything you need to know about Giclée prints?… Here we have another Perspective by Art work archive, on Giclée prints. Will be interesting to see what their, Perspective is?… More and more Artists are including Reproduction prints as part of their Regular productive routine in their day. Why?, Before you Sold a painting and it was gone, and One buyer would appreciate the Art work. With prints, you get to See and earn from that One original piece of art, that you Put, so much Time and effort into Art Creating…

With this rise in Popularity of prints, you need to Access your Art business strategy. What you need to Know to Start Creating and Selling reproduction prints, follows below

Open Edition vs Limited edition, – Artists have the Option to create open – ( Limitless Edition ), or Limited Edition , a Number of prints only. With Open edition, your Earning power is the greatest. Whereas Limited edition, is greater for the Art collector, which has A higher Value for the piece.

Finding a printer – Printers are Becoming better and better in terms of Quality. Look for Reliable equipment, Technical skill, and Envisioning a Long term Working relationship.

Creating your Editions – Through the help of your, Printer, your Artwork will be Scanned or Photographed, and then the Proof is printed.

The Right quality – If you choose Limited edition, there is No right or wrong number. Fewer Editions, are Higher in price cost, more Valuable to the collector. larger numbers of editions, might be a Better fit, for your Target customers. Ask, who is your Customer, and How many will, I be able to sell?

Choosing the Price – Pricing your Fine art prints, will Depend on your career, Level, and the Cost of Creating the work. The profit you wish to make, and what your Target customers, are willing to pay.

How to go about Selling – The Lower price point. Offer them in Tandem with your Originals, at Art fairs, Exhibitions, to Emerging collectors, to your Fans, who cannot Afford your originals, as to Expensive. Use these High quality images, of your art, for Licensing or Merchandising purposes. Do tell the buyers, that its a Print, of an Original art piece, that is Why the cost is lower.

What you need to Track – You must Number and Mark your prints properly, as they Sell, to ensure the Integrity of the Limited edition, with a fraction of 12/50, Artists proofs, a Master image, Prints not for sale, and Printers copies, need to be Correctly marked as well.

What makes an Artist Professional?, and My Art…

What makes an Art Professional?, is a very Interesting topic to Investigate and make a Conclusion on, because remember we are all born Artists, it is how do we stay Artists as Adults? Yes, and this is the Greatest Question of all Time? In this Blog, I am Aiming to see How, we can make ourselves Art Professionals. I will input some of the Art I decided to Make for This Blog, to share with You, Art I have made, to break up the Answer to the Artist Professional Question?

Distinguishing yourself from an Amateur to a Professional Artist is not easy. It has nothing to do with your Ability to create Good paintings. it has Nothing to do with, whether you have a Real job or not. There are Numerous factors that determine your Art vocation, Artist does Not happen Magically, for a person.

An Artist is not made through their Great art skills, or an Excellent personality. No a True artist, a Professional artist Dedicates years of their lives to Creating and Selling their Art creations. Only a Few artists become Overnight sensations. To be a True and living Professional artist, takes Time and patience. Yes, Artists are all Different and yet all Professional artists have a number of Things in common?

Here are Seven Common Artist professional Questions to Ask?

What Medium are You Using?

  • Amateur galleries are full of Watercolour paintings, this is a sign that an Artist is an Amateur artist. Painters believe Watercolours are easy to use. Whereas Acrylics and Water soluable oils, are Easy to learn to use, and are a better Medium to Hide Art created mistakes. By starting to use Acrylics, you will Learn techniques that the Artist professionals use, like Impasto work and to use other Mediums to manipulate the paint. It is always very Important to explore, other Options when you are New to the Art scene. It is vey important, to use Quality paints, whatever Medium you choose to work in, Once you have Mastered a Foundation in Technique, buy Professional Grade art supplies. You will Notice the Difference, in the Quality of Your Art Creations.

What are You Painting?

  • Landscapes and Still life are Perfect subjects for beginners, yes some Art professionals paint these Subjects their entire careers. Remember there is so much more in the Whole world to Paint and create. you must not get stuck on the same Way of Art creating, there are so many Options. Attempt, Abstract painting?, Impressionist?, maybe Mixed media, the Reasons are Wide, because you Never know what you can Art create, or how to Work out What you, like to Art create. You must never Copy a photograph verbatim, this is not a Long term solution. You must be and do Original and Unique art. What you can do is use a Photograph, only as a reference. Use the Photo to sketch your own Interpretation of the subject. What is essential to an Artist, is that they must Learn to grow, In their Art Creating and not to Copy verbatim?

Wood Sculpture in the Sea. Mixed Media. Marie Crimi. 2020…

How is your Final presentation?

  • Professional artists, know that their Completed painting, is Final at the Presentation stage of Their painting. You will notice that Professional artists, do not use the Standard canvas or Paper size, Shape or texture. For the Professional artist, its all about Visualising the Final piece of Art, and working on that Idea from the Initial stage, of the Art creation. Framing is a big Presentation issue for the Art professional, and choosing the Frames and Mats that Do not detract from the painting, is their biggest Issue, as Artists.

Have you Developed a Style?

  • When you have chosen your Medium of choice, explored the Subject matter, and Learned how to Professionally finish your Paintings. Your next step is to Develop a Personal style, this Style develops Naturally over time. the Key to finding your Art style?, is to Follow your Vision, and to Utilize your Artistic Inspiration, and Paint, Paint, Paint…

Gummy Tree and Bush. Acrylics. Marie Crimi. 2020…

What is your Motivation?

  • Artists talk about Motivation all of the Time. Why do you do What you do? All Professional artists know, they have to Create and they will do, Whatever they need, to keep doing, the Art Creating. The Professional artist is not Easily distracted, from their Work progress. Dedication is their Primary motivation. Professional artists, Constantly look for Inspiration for their next painting, and also know that, their next Painting will be better than the Last one, and that there is Room for Improvement. This is Exciting, for the artists.

Are you Active in the Art Community?

This is the reality of a Professional artist, it is not the Easiest path in life. you may run into Obstacles, but Artists, often find Large and Small amounts of Success to keep them Motivated. The Professional artist, is a Master of Time management and Organisation. This is a Necessary requirement. The Idea of an Artist, who Wanders and Swings a brush at the Canvas all day, is a Great Myth.

So? are you Ready to become a Professional artist?

Art can be very Solitary life, filled with Hours, and Weeks Alone in the Studio. Rather than being Loners or Competitive, many Professional artists like to, Speak to other Artists. The successful Artist knows its not about Quality art, or Affordable art. But that the more Interesting you are, the better your Art is received. Many Artists become Outgoing Individuals, over time as Art Professionals.

  • Only you can answer this question, remember no Two artists are the same. Truth is its Immaterial whether you choose to be an Artist professional. The important part is that you keep on Creating art. You will gain a Personal satisfaction in painting, and in the Art community. Only a few other Hobbies fulfil your life, the way Art does and can. So never Give up or be Discouraged, just keep on Painting and Success will Follow You…

Websites: What makes A Professional Artist?

In concluding in What makes an Art Professional?, is that you must Distinguish yourself from an Amateur Artist. That is that a True Professional Artist must dedicate himself to Living the Art Creative Life. The Artist must Work hard at Creating Art with their, Time and lots of Dedicated, Patience. The Artist must Not copy from photos Verbatim, but must Endeavour to Produce Original and Unique Art works. In the above Method, the Artist becomes Professional with a Style all of his own, and through making Art will, without fail become Successful as an Art Professional. Remember Art Enlightens, is Delightful, to do Life long, and can make the Artist, fullfilled life Long, and Hopefully a Lot of Money.

Organisation for Art Creator’s and My Art Too…

In Organisation for Art Creator’s, we think about what is necessary to work as Art Creators or Art Designers, apart from the Basic necessity of a Well planned working Artist’s Studio. We think how we can make our Art Business, Productive and Highly Successful, and see if other Business are organised in a similar Working, Structure? I think it is very interesting to work out How or Why? and see if their are Actually any Benefits, to Following Good Business Advice? Shall we have a Read and draw our own Private Conclusions?

Organisational Chart Marker/Hierarchy chart Maker   https://creately.com/diagram-type-organisation-chart

The Hierarchical model is the most Popular organizational chart. There are a few models that are Derived from this model. In the Hierarchical chart, Employees are grouped with every Employee, in the Construct, all having one Proper supervisor. The Grouping is made based on a Few other factors. 

  1.  Function, grouped according to the Function they Provide. 
  2.  Geography – Employees are grouped based on their Region.
  3.  Product, if a company produces Multiple products, or offers different services, can be Grouped accordingly.

In my opinion, I think that the No. 4 Network structure, which helps Visualise both the Internal and External Partnerships, is a Decentralized, Construct which has the most Flexible structure.  This, All relies on Open communication, between reliable Employees, whom, are both Internal, and External Partners. This I think is the best Hierarchical option, for Art Creators and Art designers, to Follow and Work With.

In Concluding this Blog, we see how important Organisation is in Particular to the Art Creation and Art Design Culture in our Societies’. We can tell that the structure of a Business needs to be set up, and followed through a, Hierarchy or some Planned Organisation Method. In Order for a Business, to Prosper and too function on a Daily basis. This all makes any Construct or Business, Accountable and Financially Viable. For daily operating in an organised Manner, keeping the Employee motivated, functioning, Highly productive, Conscientious and Self fulfilled, as an Employee and Mostly as an Individual. Organisation Procedures, are Necessary for An Art Creation or Art Design Business…

Fighting Art Creative Block, and My Art Creations Too…

In this Blog,  Fighting, Art Creative Block, we know as Artists that Art Creative Block is a Very Big Problem for the Artist. I investigate, what Art Creative Block is, or if there is a problem at all. Then try to conclude, how we can move past this Problem as Artists, and as A Productive Changing Society, Generally. I think this is an interesting Issue to explore, because I Believe that All World Cultures, Succeed and Prosper, on Human Resources and People Power. Think and Think?,  and then I will share in this blog, my solution to my problem of Art Creative Block.

Fighting through Art Creative block-whether, it is a Creative slump or a Full blown block, is one of the Biggest problems for artists. It is sustaining motivation and keeping the Art creative engine turned up. There are Five artists, who will be Sharing jump starting, Ideas and inspiration, their way… ( The following information is from Anne Hevener, Artist’s Magazines Editor in Chief. )

Artist Kris Parins-says,  Welcome an Outside Influence. He says a get together with Artist friends to cure art block, and maybe, to get out of the studio. To spend a few hours, Laughing, sharing your enthusiasm, and to be open to new opportunities. Lastly you need Human contact and outsider influence. You need to Share images of your works in progress, or just to talk, encouragement makes an Artist feel wonderful and alive.

Tom Lynch-says,  an Exercise in Black and White, help him to break the Art block. Visiting an Art Gallery, museum or art fair, or a simple exercise in making Art creations in Black and white, start his desire to paint. He focuses on Tone and contrast , which make, future paintings, show better light and dark tones.

Chris Krupinski-says,  Paint all of the Time. To be a better artist you need to Work on your art all of the time. I found this improved My art greatly, and opened my mind to New ideas. When the Creative block happened, I would just Start doing the art, and as I worked I moved past the block, Ideas arrived and kept on coming, to me.

Betsy Dillard Stroud-says,  Keep an Open Mind. Sometimes just starting one idea, can lead you to another, better idea. My Motto is to just start on something, and to stay open to a Change in The art direction.

Laurie Goldstein-Warren-says,  A new take on a Familiar Subject. Laurie says when she has a block, she looks at one of Her before art creations.  Using a Different art media, Different paper, canvas, brushes and paints to Colour the art. She might head into the Social or into the Natural Environment, this all makes a Difference to her Art perspective in many ways.

My Method of getting through the Art Creative Block, is to draw what appeals to me at the time, and to think hard after a long walk or a swim, what the painting needs to be Coloured With. In the following Four Paintings, I think you can say the Paintings are Original and Unique. I attempted to Move and create this Art, by using the Medium that I do not usually use, even though I own these media. I decided on the Colour scheme and how to best use the colours to Benefit greatly the Art creation. I can honestly say, I worked easily, and did not experience Art Creative Block. I enjoyed the process, and greatly. I think you should, draw what appeals to YOU, and Use different Media, Paper, canvases and colours. Go ON SEE What the result is for You?

The Creative Block Information?

7 Types of Creative Block, ( and what to do About Them?)

  1. The Mental Block. This is where you get trapped by your own thinking. The Solution, you need to change your mind. What, if?, and Adopt different perspectives. Go somewhere New, or Read/watch/listen to something new.  Talk to People, who may give you an Alternative point of view.
  2.  The Emotional barrier. Creativity can be intense. Its not a comfortable endeavour. May be the Subject matter is painful?…, whatever, its all a Form of resistance, that leads to procrastination. You can try a Routine, Commitment, or Meditation.
  3. Work habits that do not work. Maybe, no Drama, you are Working, in a way that is not Compatible with your creative process. Look for the Right balance of routines, Systems and spontaneity, for creativity to thrive.
  4. Personal problems. Creativity demands Focus and its hard to concentrate when some dispute, is happening.  Use your Creative Rituals, to set problems aside, focus for an hour, or a few days, or each day. You should get a Newer perspective, on your Personal situation.
  5. Poverty as in time poor, knowledge poor, have a thread Bare network, or short on equipment to complete the job?  Set yourself a Challenge to achieve as much as possible, with what you have. Question whether, more Resources, always equal More Creativity.
  6. Overwhelm, comes from too much or too little?. You are feeling paralysed by Options, obligations?, to tired. Time to Cut down, say No, schedule your time better, leave the World behind, it will not End.
  7.  Communication breakdown, could be a Marketing problem, you do not have a Hotline to people who matter in your field, so you Struggle to attract the opportunities. The Solution, here is where Communication blends into communication skills. You need to adapt, at Understanding and influencing the Right people, in marketing or networking. To succeed you need to Grow a thick skin for Rejection or criticism.

Healthwise–Visual Art Therapy–Art Therapy is using Visual Art Materials. You may, use Pens, pencils, crayons, paint, chalk, or Collaging. You do not need to have Art Skills or Experience. With support from Your Art Therapist you will use Art Media, to Express your feelings or experiences. The Art Therapist will provide Ideas or prompts. Group Focus could focus on a particular Theme or activity each session.

Inspiring People and Cityscapes, and My Art Creations Too...

Inspiring People and Cityscapes, and My Art Creations Too…

In this Blog Inspiring People and Places, and My Art Creations Too… I will be telling you the details of an amazing Artist, Wiltshire, who has been Travelling and Creating Art, in New York and many other Countries, most of his Life. We then decide if Art has Value to the Individual, if So? Why and How?. I have chosen Two Countries, with different Architecture and Histories to tell you about. To be Honest these are my favourite places I would Like to visit, and of course New York. I think Paris and these Three countries are the Places I would Love to live in, if it was possible for me. I have made, Four Paintings to share, in this blog, which relate to this explanation. I think you will enjoy this Blog.

The Big Apple, New York, CITY, on The Artist-Wiltshire–Wiltshire shows the Journey of his work, as a Timeline for His Life. “As I developed as a person, my Artwork Developed with Me. As I got older, wiser and more mature, so has my work. I think that my Artwork, has progressed well, over time, through my Experiences. My Art is My Life History” When in 1988, Wiltshire travelled to New York, CITY, he then made New York his Second home. New York to Him,  was Noisy, energetic, Bright lights, and so much more. He was deeply Captivated, by the Atmosphere and the Beautiful Skyscrapers, and the Architecture.

Inspiring People and Places–Wiltshire’s first trip, to New York, gave him, the Love to Travel. This Interest and passion for drawing, Urban Landscapes, then began. He gathers in his Mind, Detail and Perspective, Well. With these References in his Brain, he makes a Pencil sketch of the area. Then takes a Staedtler pen, his tool of choice and then adds the other details.

In some Cities, at special drawing events, he can be observed at Art Creating. Wiltshire’s best part of the Art Work, is the Finish of the Painting. He draws every day, a Specific piece, or just for his Own pleasure. He say’s you Must do the Best You Can, for Your Pleasure, and Never Stop doing. Concluding You, As the Artist, Must Hold Yourself, Accountable.

Yes, Wiltshire is Autistic, and it was his drawing that, helped him connect greatly, with people. Art is a Language we can all understand, makes No difference, which country we come from. He continues to Travel greatly, and keeps on drawing.

I hope you see how Art can, connect and make a difference in the Lives of Artists, and People at their, particular Place in time and in their, Health. Art makes people, Happy, Productive and Motivates People in all Areas of their Lives, and in their Life’s Progress. ? What is Greater?, than Art???… Go On, You Give, Art A Go, You will be Delighted Beyond Belief.  ( Above information, taken from The Artist’s Network, on 01.3.2020. )

Holland, Kingdom of the Netherlands–Netherlands or Holland is located in, North-Western Europe. Holland, means a low-lying country, and wooded Land. This original name was given to the Medieval origins, which became the Modern Netherlands State Capital, which uses Two, of Twelve provinces. Which are named (Noord-Holland and Zuid-Holland). It was a parliamentary democracy, ruled with a Constitutional Monarch. This Kingdom, includes the former colonies, of the lesser Antilles. The Capital of the Netherlands is Amsterdam, which houses the Government, called the Hague. The Netherlands, is a very flat land, it has large areas of Lakes, rivers, and canals. (6,500 square kilometers), of the Netherlands, is made of reclaimed land. From the Medieval period, made possible through a process of careful water management. Along the Coastlines, land was reclaimed from the Sea, and Inland, from lakes and mashes, drained, along the River, sides. All this newer land, into polders, mostly surrounded by dikes. Originally Manpower and Horse power were used to drain this land. Later these were replaced with Windmills. The Mill Network, at Kinderdijk-Elshout, is A UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITE. Netherlands biggest water-control systems, were built in the later part of the 19th Century, and Early 20th Century, when the Steam pumps, and, then later transitioned to the Electric Diesel Pumps.

Punda and Otrobanda, Artilles, Netherlands.  Mixed Media Collage.  Marie. Crimi.   2017.

SDC11114

The above Painting was Created in 2017, for an Art Meet, the topic was a Country you would like to visit?.  I Chose the Netherlands, because I had visited Holland in 1995, and I thought I would like to visit The Netherlands again, and to be able to live there would be amazing to. The painting was made as a Collage, of cut out from a magazine, and coloured Acid free Coloured card stock, cut out shapes. Then I searched free photos, and the Antilles Government Quarter, in the Netherlands Appealed to me, because it had the colourful Buildings. My Art creating is about, Using Colours, and different Media. I heard one comment, by the person who put the paintings up say, to an artist, Very colourful, unusual, where is this? he looked behind the painting, and could not pronounce the Punda and Otrobanda. He laughed so much. I thought HA HA…

The Netherland People–After World War II, 500,000 persons left the country, Emigrating. Today the Netherlands, is one of the Greatest populated countries, which has a high Percentage of people over the age of 65 years. Amsterdam has one of the liveliest International Youth Cultures. The Dutch tradition of Social Tolerance, is Alive, Prostitution, ‘soft-drugs’, (Marijuana and Hashish) use, and Euthanasia are all Legal. Although it is all Well Regulated, and was on of the first Countries to Legalise Same- Sex-Marriage. The above Relative Independence, (Outlook), happened as Early as the 16th- 17th Centuries, when the Dutch as a Nation, rejected Monarchical Rule, and took the enlightened view to accept other Cultures. Especially when Cultures, bought, Great Wealth and Capital to the Country’s Trade Centres. Holding one of the Most Advanced Economies in the World, which was A Very Small sized Country, at the time.

People–Ethnic Groups-History–History say’s that the Dutch are a Combination of Cultures, Frisians, Saxons, and Franks. Research shows that in fact, the true inhabitants were a mix of pre-Germanic and Germanic population Groups, which emerged in the 7-8th Century, based on a particular Ethnic and cultural Unification, that were identified, then as Frisians, Saxons, and Franks.

Dutch Language–The Language is Dutch, referred as Netherlandic, which is a Germanic Language, which is also spoken in Northern Belgium (called Flemish). The Afrikaans, an official language of South Africa, is a variant, spoken by 17th Century emigrants from the Holland and Zealand regions. The Northern Inhabitants, (Friesland), also speak their own language (Frisian), which is vey close to English, than to Dutch or German. In the major cities, Younger People are fluent in several languages.

Netherlands, Paintings and Sculpture–Dutch painting and crafts are known worldwide. The Dutch Painters, are the greatest in the world. The Dutch Government subsidizes the Arts, and directs the Artistic control over the Cultural Enterprise. The Dutch freedom of expression, has played a role in the Greatness of the Dutch Culture, throughout their History. The symbols of Dutchness, are Wooden shoes, Lace caps, Tulips, and the Windmills, are the greatest known by the World. (Information, in Encyclopedia Britannica.)

The above painting is from a free photo stock. photo, which I Specifically searched for Windmills and Tulip Fields. This Painting is a Mixed Media Collage, made in Coloured Acid free Markers, and Hard Pastels. On Top of Acid free Coloured Card stock, shapes. I have always loved the Tulips and Windmills. When I actually saw the Windmills in the country side, in the Netherlands, I was surprised to see, how big they were. I saw Fields of Tulips, of every colour you could imagine, and that scene has stayed with me forever.

What do you think? I think? to be honest I wonder if there is a Method or information we can follow? As Artists we all Aim to do Amazing Art Work, each and every attempt… I have made Four art works, with the Element’s and Principles in my Unique Art Creations. I will be further elaborating on these paintings, lets see where I am inclined, to use in my art? It would be interesting to see, your Great Works of Art?

The, 15 Essentials for Every Art Form–Do you think there are Artistic keys to the Art Kingdom?

The 15 Essentials for Art Creating, are the Building blocks that are the Key to the Principles of Art, which will take you from a Beginner Artist, to the Master of Art…

You will First need to understand AND PRACTICE YOUR CHOSEN ART FORM. These Key concepts are the Elements of art, like Colour, line and the Principles of art. Which are Proportion, rhythm, contrast and a Few other Art principles. All of these combinations, are what gives, All Artists, the Fluency and Greatness, in All their Art Creations.

All this combining of Art Essentials and principles, bring all the Joy, excitement, and the reason for Art Followers, to make the Effort to attend Art Exhibition Openings, and then to Pay in most cases, Top Dollars for the Artists, Unique Art Creations– The Paintings…

The Colours– Three elements that are Very important, to Colours, are, in the way, as an Artist you use the Colours, their Hue, value and intensity…

The explanation for these are–Hue is the Colour. Value is the Hue’s lightness or darkness, and changes when White or black is added to the Colour, YOU Choose. Intensity is the Aspect of the Brightness and Purity of  a colour. High Intensity Colours are, bold and bright. Low Intensity colours are Faint and dull…

The Mask-Carnivale in Venice.  Watercolour.  Marie. Crimi.  2020.

SDC11033 (1)

In the above painting, the Mask… the Watercolours I have used in this painting are the Creative Watercolours. The Watercolours are Alive, Bright colours, they give a texture, of a Colourful refined, and Gorgeous occasion. This can be sensed, and gives you the, urgent need to touch this painting.  This painting uses the Hue, which represents the Colours, and the Value factor, of both Light and darkness of colours. Finally, the Intensity shows perfectly, the Boldness of the bright colours. Their are Faint parts of colour, in this painting, which further gives the Intensity of Calmness and mystery, to this painting.  We can agree that Colour is a Highly Determining Factor in any ART Creation?…

Rose Tattoo Girl and Japanese Girl.  Watercolours.  Marie. Crimi.  2020.

SDC11035 (1)

In the above painting Rose Tattoo Girl and Japanese Girl, is made using the Anko Watercolours, and we can see that the effect of the Hue and Colours, are very Low, faint and Dull. Actually these colours, have their own amazing impact, too. I notice these Colours although of no significance, do Draw appeal to the paintings, by Appearing well Proportioned, interesting and very Professional. I think it is safe to say, that maybe different types of colour medium, the Watercolours in both the above paintings, which are produced by entirely different Manufacturers, do make a Big Difference to Art Work, and to their Art Audience’s Appeal. People are attracted, to Art Creations for different reasons.

The Form–Is, for Painters and draftsmen, the Element of art, which makes a Three-dimensional form, into a Two dimensional Form. This is the Heart of an Art object, it can show a Volume, includes Height, Width and Depth. An example is a Cube, a sphere, a cylinder and a pyramid, these are All examples, of different objects. Remember that Objects, can be formless–that is Abstracted or free flowing.

The Line–Marks made on a Page are called lines. Starting at a Point, and moving further along, Creating space, the lines move around on the paper. Lines can be a Two dimensional or three dimensional, which describe the form, it can be Abstract or implied. You can create a series of Parallel lines to Show a form–The technique is called Hatching. Cross hatching show, more than One set of lines, which lie on top off each other, which show off, a Model, and also show off the Tone, of an Object.

The shape–This element is Two dimensional, either Flat or limited to height and width. Usually it is a Shape, which is an enclosed, structure.

The Space–Is the Element of art, in which Both Positive and negative areas are Defined. This is where a Sense of depth is achieved, in an Art Creation.

The Texture–This Aspect of art, shows how an Art object or an element in a Composition feels, check out–(https://www.artistsnetwork.com/art-mediums/watercolour/7-tools-for-texture-in-watercolour/).  The look of this, is how it would feel if you were to touch it.

The Principles of Art–The elements of Art are your Tools?…Then the Principles of Art, Are How you combine These Tools together, to work in Creating a Genius, Unique Art Creation. This is where the Style, of the Art uses the mediums, (TOOLS) – to create, Rhythm, harmony, balance, contrast, variety, movement, and Proportion, in the Art Creation.

Half Face, Full Face, Fancy Leaves, Stylised Trees.  Watercolours.  Marie. Crimi.  2020.

SDC11038 (1)

This above painting, Half Face, Full Face… Is made in Watercolours, the Datto Colours, the Colours seem to be Lifeless colours and to give Low appeal to the Painting.  When we look Closer at this Art Creation, we can see that the Applying of the colours in Lightness, and then Working over colours, gives the appearance of a Unique Art Creation, that actually Appears to the Observer, as Highly Interesting, and engaging, and Has Excellent, Professional Determination… Also The Shapes of the Faces, and then the Leaves and lastly the trees, are an Amazing way to have made, this Unique and Genius Example, of a Highly Appealing Art Work. I Notice, that the Medium are one part of the Artwork , and also the Artists ideas and Thought processes, she uses to Make an Original Unique Art creation Each time?..

Leaves from the Autumn, of Life… .   Acrylics.   Marie. Crimi.  2020.

SDC11031

In the above Painting,   Leaves, from the Autumn of Life… Is made in Anko Acrylic Paints, on Watercolour, Acid free, Creative Paper. The next paragraph explains, what this painting is about, and why and how?, it is made the way it is.

The painting, uses the Principles of Art, which are the TOOLS, which are a Combination of  Repetition of Plants, in this case represent my family, members. It uses different mediums, which gives the impression of an amazing landscape, a plant landscape. It has a Rhythm, continuity, through the painting, which gives Harmony and flow over the whole page. This gives to the Art Creation, Pure JOY?,  there Is, NO, Monotony? or chaos, in this Original, Unique, Genius Art Work. Colours are a few Bright colours, also the low Intensity colours, like so much Black and other Dark colours, actually, Work in Combination and the painting, is Excellent… To be honest, I am very surprised, it has turned out so good, I hope you like too?…

Let me Explain these Principles–Rhythm, describes the Combination of a Variety, of mediums or Tools, which are Put on the page, to Create a Visual, landscape, which gives the Vision and the scope, to the Art Creation. Harmony is when Elements of an artwork are combined in a Synergistic way. Some Look, and feel similar, but there is no Monotony or chaos. Only the Perfect combining of the two or more Mediums. Purely for the Joy OF, appealing, to the Artist’s Audience. Balance is all about combining The Art Elements, to add a Feeling of stability, which are achieved, Both, through Symmetry and Asymmetry.

In Contrast–The Artists will combine Elements, to give those similar Elements as a whole piece.  In Movement, the look and feeling give an, action feeling to the Art Creation. This is made by varying lines, and in the repetition of the Elements, also the use of Gestural mark making among many other methods… In Pattern, The same repetition of an element of art or in a combination of Elements. Remember anything can be turned into a pattern by using the method of Repetition. Where in Proportion, the Elements and Principles determine the Relationship of the Elements, on the Art Paper. We acknowledge that Variety is the Combining, in Using, the variety of, Colours, Sizes and shapes in an Original work of Art.

Colours also have a Positive effect on our Mental State and overall Health, as individuals. Colours can also have the great benefits of relaxing and calming our Minds and Our whole bodies.

Colours in our Art and in our Designs, help us as Genuine individuals to show our Natural style and good taste, in Interior design, in Graphic design, in Advertising and lastly as Creative Art Creators of Successful Art.

As Artists we Internally teach ourselves naturally, which colours are Positive or Negative in our Art Creations, and we use the Colours to our Advantage in our Art, to Entice people to our Art Works.

We examine how the Cool and Warmer colours, Affect our audience, via the Colours we use, in our Art work.

Cool colours--Blue under tones, Calm the mind. Many decorators use Blues — in quiet environments.  Blue lowers the Heart rate and Slows down, our hunger.

This painting, Mixed Media Collage, was made in the Preparation Stage on Creatives Acid free, Watercolour paper. Using the Creatives Coloured Card stock, and I cut the shapes, and after drawing the Bird, I glued the shapes on the Water colour paper. I used Mont Marte–Matt Colours, Cobalt blue and a littlest of the Phthalo blue, to make the wash. When dry, I used Colourful Crayons, to colour the Bird, using both Cool and Warm colours. To complete the Painting, I used for the outline of the Picture, a Sharpie, Black Fine Marker.  I think, the completed Painting looks both inviting and interesting in the both the Cool and Warm colours I have used.

The painting that follows is a Painting made as a Mixed Media Collage, in Creative, Colourful Watercolours, on Acid free, Creatives Watercolour paper. For the Collage part which was made first, Creatives Acid free, Coloured Card stock, shapes were made and glued onto the Watercolour paper. Then I drew the Flowers, over the top, in a 2B, Eco Lead Pencil. I mixed Acrylic Silver Series–Mont Marte, Matte colours, Virdian and a littlest Cobalt blue, with water, and I painted this onto the Collage. When dried, I used Watercolours to colour the painting. To complete this painting, I traced around the Flowers in, Sharpie, Black Fine marker. I am thinking the result is Unique, and the Colours, are the Enticing Factor in this painting.

The Colour, History Theory–the Philosopher, Leone Bettista Alberti (c. 1435) and the Artist/inventor, Leonardo da Vinci (c. 1495) were the First to write on Colours.

It was in 1666, that Isaac Newton’s Theory of Colour, and the Primary colours was introduced.

After Newton’s Colour Theory, Moses Harris created the First colour wheel, Red, blue, yellow, as the Primary colours.

In the early Twentieth century, the German painter Johannes Itten, added the Secondary and Tertiary colours. Also gave us the Idea of the, Warm and the Cool colours, and the fact, that these Shades have Either the Warm or a Cool base.

The Complementary and Colour Harmony, give a Great visual impact, when they Lie near to each Other. The complimentary colours, are Opposite, to each other on the Colour wheel.

Portraits and My Portrait Art Creations…

In this Blog, Portraits, I examine what is the Portrait, and if it had any Benefits for Society in the past , and if today Portraits are still Valued, or if Portraits, are a lost Art Form, for Society. Besides, the Artist, Portrait Painting, are there other Media, that are used, with the Universal use of the Newer IT–Technology? Let us try to envision, what the Future has installed for the Portrait?

Portrait painting–is a genre in Art, in which the purpose is to show a Human Individual, and their personality. Portrait, Artists paintings, can describe their actual Portrait painting. People who Paint portraits can create their work, for Commissions, for the General Public or for the Private individual. The main purpose of a Portrait painting is for State recognition and Importance. Portrait paintings, are also the paintings made of family members,  as a record for their family, remembrance history.

Historically–Portrait paintings have been important for the Rich and the Powerful in Society.  As the time has moved forwards, the Middle classes, have Commissioned Portraits, of Family and their colleagues.

At the Present Time–Portraits are still Commissioned by Governments, corporations, groups, clubs and the Individual.

Portraits and Media–Portraits can be made in other Media, such as in Prints and in (Etchings and Lithography), photography, video and digital media. Throughout history, for all the Artists, in the different traditions, it has been necessary for the Artist, to learn newer and particular skills, for painting realistically the Portraited.

Technique and Practice–A well Painted portratit, needs to show the Inner essence of a person, or needs to be an excellent representation or show the likeness, of an individual. Artists usually aim for a Photographic realist looking painting, or an Impressionist, painting, or a similarity of their sitter. In a Caricature, in which an attempt is made to Exaggerate a characters, Physical features.

Artists–Edward Burke-Jones, said that the only True expression in a Portrait is the Likeness of a character and their Moral quality. Nothing that is Temporary, changing or accidental in the Portrait.

The Artist Gordan C. Aymar, said that the Eyes, are the place that we look at to give, the most, Reliable and complete information, of an individual in the Portrait paintings. The Eyebrows, show the Wonder, pity, fright, pain, cynicism, concentration, displeasure, surprise and Expectation. All these Emotions are expressed, in a Variety of variation, and also in Combinations of expression.

Portrait paintings–can show the subject, in Full length, (Whole Body), Half length, (from Head to waist or Hips), Head shoulders,–(Bust), or just the Head. Some of the other Variations, the person can be Clothed, or nude, indoors or outside, standing, seated, reclining, and even Horse–mounted.

Portraits–can be of Individuals, couples, parents, children, families, or Groups of people.

Portrait Creations–can be made in different media, which can include, Oil paints, watercolours, pen and ink, pencil, charcoal, pastel, and Mixed media. Artists have a wide-range of palette colours, to use to create the Portrait painting.

Overall Size of Portrait–the Artist does take into account, where the Final portrait will be hung. The Colour and style of the décor, the painting will be Shown in, are considered greatly by the Artist.

The Portrait Painting, Indian Summer, is made in Creations Watercolours, on A3, Acid free, Creatives Watercolour paper, and the Painting is completed in Sharpie Fine Black marker.

The drawing below is, the above completed Portrait painting. It is my Unique Art style and Version of a Free Photo Stock, Photo, that I used for the Initial Reference. I used a 2B, Eco Lead, Light Pencil, to make the drawing. I made a Wash to paint over the drawing using, Mont Marte–Silver Series Acrylic colours, Titanium white and a smallish amount of the Rose madder. When this wash was dry, I proceeded to paint the drawing in Creatives, Watercolours. And finished of the Portrait, in Sharpie Fine Marker.

Hue and Portraits–Creating a Portrait takes a lot of time, needing at least Four sittings. In the 18th century it would take at least a full year, to complete a portrait. After calming the sitter, and encouraging a natural pose, the Artist then studies the person in detail. Looking in particular for a Facial expression, that satisfies the Artists concept, of the Individual’s personality. The Posture is examined, to show the Emotional and physical state of the sitter, the Clothes of the sitter, are considered as the Overall impression. To keep the Sitter at ease, the artist will Maintain a pleasant, steady appearance, and Make light conversation, with the sitter.

Human Anatomy and Portraiture–in the Creation of a Successful portrait, the Overall, knowledge of The Human Anatomy is very important.

Portraits Outcome–Occasionally, the Client or the client’s family is unhappy with the Portrait. The Artist is then, required to re-touch the painting or in some case Redo the painting, or to Withdraw the Commission without being paid, the Artist suffering, the Humiliation of failure.

An example of a Portrait Failure–The famous and particular Gilbert Stuart, once replied to a client’s dissatisfaction with his wife’s portrait, by replying. ‘You bought me a Potato, and you expect as Peach!

The Portrait painting below, is my first attempt at Portrait drawing . I decided to use Acid free, A3, Creatives, Watercolour paper, it is my preferred paper to use. It has a fine texture and I thought I would use Soft coloured pastels, I like working in soft pastels, although I have not used them for awhile. I thought it would be fun to see if I could work on the Portrait. I have put it under the paragraph as A Failed Portrait, because it is my First Portrait attempt, and I think I did not, do the Painting the Justice, the painting deserved.

The drawing below is the above initial drawing for the above completed Pastel Portrait. I used a 2B, Eco Lead, light pencil, to draw the Portrait. Then I used Acrylics, Mont Marte-Silver Series, Colours, Cadmium yellow, Yellow orange and a littlest Raw umber, to make the Wash, that I applied over the initial drawing. When dry, I used Mungo Soft Pastels for the Colouring, and to finish the complete Portrait painting, I outlined the picture with Watercolour Black Pencil. To give the definition the Portrait needed, to finish it Off…

A Successful Portrait–can gain the Lifelong gratitude of a client. The Count Bulthanzar, was so pleased with the Portrait, ‘Raphael’ had created of his wife, that he told Raphael the Artist, “Your image…alone can lighten my cares, that image is my delight, I direct my smiles to it, it is my joy”.  (Above information, in Wikipedia Free Encyclopedia).

In concluding this Portraits examination of definite details, we can see that Portraits are a necessary part of society. Through History, Governments and Corporations, and the Rich Valued the Portraits. At this time, All Classes of Society have some form of Portrait Recording, for their Knowledge and for Remembrance. It is easy to believe, that the Portrait recording, whether the Portrait is Painted by an Artist, or made in other Media, that it will always be part of our Culture, always has been and will be, so it is… This is a Good Service available to us as a Society, it keeps us informed of how far we as Earthlings have Matured, in time, and What we have left Behind in the World’s, past.

Different Approaches to Drawing, and My Art Creations To., Uncategorized

Different Approaches to Drawing, and my Art Creations To.

In introducing this Blog Topic, on Different Approaches to Drawing. I research into what is Drawing, and investigate how to Draw, and find out if there is an easier way to draw and create Unique Art. And see, if there are any other ways to draw. I also wonder when Art Started and Why, why is Art, So great or Not so great, let us see?…

Different approaches to drawing–What is drawing? Drawing is a form of Visual art, in which the person uses different drawing Media, to mark the paper, or another Two-dimensional medium. A drawing media, releases a small amount of material onto the surface, leaving a visible mark.  The most common support for drawing on, is paper. Other materials can be used, cardboard, wood, plastic, leather, canvas, and board. A wide availability of drawing media, make drawing one of the most common Artistic activities.

Drawing is used in Commercial illustration, animation, architecture, engineering and technical drawing.

Drawing as Artistic Expression–Drawing is generally used to express a person’s creativity, which has been prominent in the Art world, throughout History. Drawing, has been regarded as the foundation for an artistic practice. In the 14th Century the wider availability of paper, made Art popular. Drawings were used as a great tool, in thought processes, and in investigation. Drawings acted as a Study medium, while Artist’s were preparing, their final Presentation, of work.

The Renaissance, Drawing techniques, enabled Artists, to represent things, realistically, and Drawings also revealed, the Artist’s interests in Geometry and Philosophy.   (The above information, in Wikipedia free, encyclopedia).

Artist’s Network, says that drawing should be enjoyable and that sketching, should be a vehicle of speed, and immediate action. Most people think drawing, uses One Method, the Linear method, that is drawing, from the top of the page, to end of the page. This method of drawing, is a difficult approach to use. In reality, there are many ways to draw, the differences in drawing, give the individual Artist, their Signature Style and Technique creation. If you practice the Different drawing techniques, you eventually find what is comfortable, for you. Which is what then gives to your art work, a Unique expression of an Art Style and Technique.

The Maquette, or Shape- based Drawing technique, is the easiest way to learn to draw, most things. By reducing Complex forms, to simple shapes. This form of drawing, is referred to by other names, such as Construction, Anime’ or Manga. This is the Exact Technique used by most Animators. The first step with Maquette drawing, is to reduce the Proportions and Shapes to a series, of Rectangular and Circles.

The following Art Creations of Tinkerbell, are made in the Maquette drawing Style. I have used circles, rectangles and smaller shapes, to Fashion these drawings. This Style of drawing, is my Unique Style of Drawing. Very easy to Learn and to Teach yourself, and draw with. I initially used, a 2B, Eco Black Pencil, and then outlined the drawings, in a Sharpie, Fine Black Marker.  I used textured, Creatives, Acid free, Watercolour Paper, because I find it is, best Suited and a pleasure, to work in my Style of Art Creating.

To colour the Maquette Style, drawings in, I have used the Colourful Crayola, Crayons, which were Smooth, speedy, and easy to use. I have placed these paintings, of Tinker Bell, in my Etsy Shop.

The ideas for my paintings, I find in Free Photo Stock on the Internet. Of course I draw them all, in my Art Style and Technique. I use Mixed media, colourful mediums, to colour my Art Creations. I use either Creatives, Textured Watercolour paper, or The Creatives, Canvas Paper, which also has an amazing, Texture to work on… I enjoy doing Art and I like to Share, what I Art Create.

Art: Drawing Approaches and training–(in  Concept art.org)–The ‘Concept art’, was used in the 1930’s by Walt Disney, Animation.

This is not limited to, film, animation, and recently added to video game production. Being a Concept Artist takes a Big commitment, vision and a clear understanding of this important position. Concept art has taken the Digital technology, and  popular programs for the Concept artist, are Photoshop and Corel painter. Others include, Manga Studio, Procreate and Art rage, programs. Concept art ranges through Stylized to photorealistic, Art spectrum. Concept Artists need to adapt to the Style of the Studio, they are employed by.

Developing different Approaches to Drawing Art–Gesture and Beginning Approaches, (in Utdallas.edu ) –The mark that records the movement of the Artist’s media, is a Two dimensional movement in space, which is the most basic feature of drawing. In addition to this is spatial notation, in which drawing arouses a time response – which is the time required, to make the movement, that creates the Mark. Time is also involved in Seeing and in Scanning objects in space. So Movement and time are two of the most essential features in making and looking at a drawing.  Handmade quality is highly valued, one-of-a-kind, drawings are called, A Facture. It is the term used for the time and effort, that you put into making a Creative product. It includes the media, and all the creative tools that made the original marks. For example, the Cross hatched line, the scribble, the faint trailling line, the boldly stated, ripping mark-all are signs of A Facture.

Gesture Drawing–There is a physicality of motion in drawing that is not always visually evident in other Art forms, the result of this process, Communicates an Emotional and intellectual reality to the Art Creation. Gestural drawing is an exercise in the seeing the form. The hand duplicates the motion of the eyes, making the movement, that instantly defines, the general characteristics of A subject: in the Placement, of shape, proportion, and relationship between the parts, and the definition of its, Area, volumes, as well as their arrangement in Space and time.

Perspective Drawing–Learn to draw by putting things in Perspective. In the Art world Perspective, is about your point of view, and the Relationship of Objects to one another.

Linear Perspective Terms–Visual depth is expressed through Linear, and atmospheric perspective, as well as through the use of colour. With Linear perspective, depth is achieved through lines, and the Size and the placement of Objects. The Horizon-height will affect the placement of the Vanishing points, as well as the scene, at eye level. The Vanishing point, is the place where Parallel lines appear, to meet together, in the distance. A scene can have a limitless number of Vanishing points.

The Ground Plane–Is the Horizontal surface, below the horizon. The Orthogonal lines, are lines which are Directed to a vanishing point. The Vantage point-not to be confused with the Vanishing point. The Vantage point, is affected by the Placement of the horizon and the Vanishing points.

Pencil Drawing Techniques: Pro-tips to Sharpen your skills–For many Artists, Pencil drawing is the skill that introduced them into the Art world. Understanding how to draw with a pencil, can help you Improve your skill in other areas, of your life. The first step, is to master how to hold a pencil correctly.

The next Drawing Technique is– Line weight, which Outlines different objects. Lines also emphasise, the shadows of an object. Thicker lines can fade and disappear, which can give the 3D form in a painting. As an Artist you need to find the Style, that is right for You. Find the Right paper texture, it makes a big difference, in the effect, it gives to your work. A Rough tooth in paper, is most visible and the ridges will grip the colour, from your pencils. A Smooth toothed paper, provides an easier surface for, Blending colour pencils. Remember use the Right eraser, it makes a big difference to your work. Protect your paper as you work on the Art piece, by putting a Piece of paper under your hand, to avoid smudging the lines you are drawing, when working on your Art creations. Lastly but not least, Break Out of Your Comfort Zone. The Pencil drawing techniques, help you understand the essentials of the medium, but you need to explore by Breaking the rules, and find out what works for You, as an Artist. Remember that Individuality gives YOU, your Signature style and Techniques. This Leads you to make, Genius Art Creations, and Hopefully earns you Good Money for Your Efforts.

In Conclusion, I would like to say that, I think that we can all be Art Creative, especially using the Maquette, Shape-based drawing style, we have no excuse, to not attempt Art creating. We know there is value in doing Art, because we have seen how it can help us navigate, our way in all other, Life situations. Art Creating is a Help and a Blessing to the very young, and to all other ages.
