Cool Artists of the Week


Paul S. Brown
Classical Realism
This man loves great wine and cigars
as well as many other finer things in life
Notice his color choices - evidence of the "three finger salute!"
He paints his still lifes with incredible painterly detail - but-
Notice how loose his strokes become in the landscapes
Absolutely stunning work
(He grinds his own oil paint!)

Angela Fraleigh
Very large
mixes representational images with abstractions

Nancy MacDonald
Lovely work
Notice how she handles the oils and pastels in a similar manner
The stroke of the brush and pastel are expressive
she understands light - and knows how to use color

I hope you all had a restful Thanksgiving
I am presently working on a huge portrait in oil of my son, Brooks
(as well as an addition to the Surface Tension series)
Can't wait to share it with you - maybe in a few days
Wonderful model!

"Drawing is the honesty of the art. There is no possibility of cheating. It is either good or bad," Salvador Dali

Salvador Dali what gesture!!! Value drawings.  The old masters called the use of value to show form, "Chiaorscuro." Usually low key compositions with intense lighting. (pretty hard to pull off with candles!) Rembrandt Self portrait in a window Kathe Kollwitz Picasso Self Portrait Georges Seurat Georges Seurat Gesture and the use of line as a scaffold Emanuela de Musis at the Academy of Realist Art This gorgeous work is done in the classical method. To my life drawing students, see how they build the "scaffolding." This method of teaching involves one year of intensive drawing from casts. Look how emotional these paintings and drawings have become by not "reporting" all of the facts. They are creating an illusion of reality, not reporting all of the details.

"Thought must come first" ~ Odd Nerdrum

"Moonfairy" Marcia @ CSMART Hour sketch Come join us Thursday evenings 6:30 - 8:30 Open studio ~ no instruction "You are about to die. There are two paintings on the wall, A Rembrandt and a Mondrian. which is the one you wish to see last? Live, love, and make art like that moment; as if you were about to die."~ Odd Nerdrum American Artist Magazine's October edition features an article about Odd Nerdrum. The article discusses Nerdrum's work as philosophical allegories. Always intriguing work with spiritual undertones. Reminiscent of Rembrandt. Nerdrum uses only four colors but he premixes the palette and tubes the colors he uses in his paintings. Curiously, he mixes blue from mars black and titanium white. Check out this magazine - October American Artist.  The Nerdrum Institute Beginning Drawing Class ~ Perspective and the Fifth perspective by Rudolf Stussi Very cool stuff.
