"Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice, heart and intuition." - Steve Jobs
Steve Jobs 1955 - 2011
Mastermind of Mac and Apple products.
Simplicity for the masses.
Isn't it so? How hard to stay true to your inner heart and intuition. It takes guts.
Interesting article in September 2011 Artists magazine by Jane Jones.
In the "Brushing up" section.
Jones details different ways to use intensity (chroma) to control your focus
The article has some great examples of simultaneous contrast
I will bring it to class to show you - good example.
Cool artists of the week
Max Ferguson Hyper real, extremely well composed.
Ferguson was trained in Amsterdam. He adheres canvas to aluminum.
His portraits are incredible. Across the board, well done.
Drawings, watercolors, oils, etchings.
Kent Lovelace Gorgeous oil on copper. Featured in Sept. Artists Mag.
He lives on Widbey Island, WA. Near where I used to live. A magical spot.
Lovely light in his landscapes. Probably lost in photography, the copper will shine through the oil glazes.
Jeff Demetriou Acrylic, ink, paper and pencil on panel.
He uses what it takes to get his point across.
Notice the crescendo he creates with the line quality.
His use of the "scopes" creates conflict between the shapes. Great use of negative space.
OK, you beginning drawing students! Check out self portrait w/ fake beard!
This woman is a printmaker. She draw draw draws. Then she makes lithos which used to be drawn on a large stone, then put through a press for an edition. She also makes woodcuts and linoleum cuts and prints them.
Notice the angle of her portraits. She is looking up at the subject.
Tiina Heiska from Finland. Dream like oil paintings.
Nick Lepard Vancouver B.C. artist.
Notice the scale of these portraits. See how he manipulates the paint and planes.
Very interesting!
See you all in class.
Beginning drawing - self portrait day. Bring a larger mirror if you can. Mine are small.
