ONE LOVE
Demo of the day:
Value, monochromatic painting and the power of underpainting.

Handout: Anatomy of a shadow.

Weekly Pigment: Cadmium Yellow Light

Come with the materials you have. We will evaluate where you are and where you want to go with your paintings. I will help you plan out your ideas and show you what happens when you manipulate the shapes and values for success.

Cool Artists for this week:

Adrian Gottlieb
Mr. Gottlieb has written a wonderful article about Verdaccio in "The Artists Magazine" this month.
Verdaccio is a green underpainting for flesh tones.
Grisalle is a grey underpainting or a value painting under color.
These are great ways to explore the value of color and temperature shifts.
Absolutely stunning oil paintings.
Make sure to look at the landscapes as well as the portraits.

Ingat Ignatov
Painterly oil paintings. He describes his subjects with a loose, expressive stroke.
His work is fresh because it is not overworked.
Knowledge of color and materials make fresh bold decisions.
Notice his subject matter. The frying pan with sunny side up eggs.
You will never be bored again!

Thursday, May 6th Drawing Class at ArtServe

John Constable, "Seascape study with rain clouds" SEASCAPES In my latest critique group, an abstract artist asked me what I saw when I looked at abstract art. My answer was simple. The same ideas used in abstract art are evident and important in representational art. ESPECIALLY in landscapes. We will reinforce the elements and principles of design that make seascapes powerful expressions of a place and time. I will be referencing Ed Whitney's critiques of seascapes. All great landscapes are abstract paintings. Here are some wonderful seascapes. Why do they attract your attention?

SINGAPORE BIENNALE 2016

Lucky me. I arrived in Singapore to find their Biennale in the Singapore Art Museum and other Museums and institutions around town. It has been a great introduction to the Southeast Asian geography and culture. Many visits have pulled me out of an extreme state of jet lag and whetted my appetite to learn more about Southeast Asia. Singapore Biennale AN ATLAS OF MIRRORS - AT ONCE, MANY WORLDS "In charting our way around the world, humankind has relied on instruments of vision as well as navigation. Atlases map and mirror our journeys of discovery and often make visible more than just physical terrain; driven by our needs and desires, they embolden us to venture into the unknown. From our coordinates in Southeast Asia, the arc of our shared histories encompasses East and South Asia. These regions bear the imprints of one another's diverse cultures, even as boundaries are also constantly reimagined. Fraught and unstable, these borders are characterized by fluid mo...

Drawing Class March 4, 2010

FINALLY!!!! Hands Hands Hands I will show you the anatomy of your lower arms, wrist and hands. You will understand the underlying basic shapes and proportions of your wrist, thumb and fingers. I will bring some of my anatomy books with incredible drawings. Please bring your sketchbooks, pencils and erasers and some tracing paper. I will bring a roll if you don't have any for class. Find pictures in magazines or photos of hands. Bring them to class. Try to find foreshortened views. (Yes, that F word!) We will be finding the shapes in the photos. You will be tracing the anatomy so you understand it when you observe your own hands. You are your best model. Perfect sketchbook fodder. Waiting for anything will never be boring again! See you Thursday! I will not be able to teach on 3/25. I am joining the board of National Association of Women Artists. One of their few board meetings lies on that thursday. Ink wash lessons were scheduled for this day. I will discuss an alternate day when ...
