Fine Art Landscape – let’s do it step by step

Posted by admin on March 9th, 2010 and filed under landscape artist | 14 Comments »

Like oil painting? You can get this painting, by doing it yourself. We take you through it step by step.

Here you see glimpses of how we go about a landscape painting when created in Fine Art Techniques. Experience the value of advanced technique, see it in close up, watch the different techniques work their magic on the canvas. You paint along at home in your studio along with Robert. The DVD’s have been designed to go at the right pace for you.

This is a fully professional work of art, which you too can do. Elements of the landscape are in this painting, which you can apply to your other work and build your landscape painting career – or just have fun while you paint with success.

Art is often taught institutionally to painters by breaking it up into things like color, line, composition, texture, tone and so forth, but it all means nothing unless the painter has the technique to place their vision on canvas. Technique is your toolbox. Start there. Get your techniques and then you can create, and worry about all those other things if you want to – in fact, you may find that when you feel you can paint your vision powerfully, you don’t wish to be hindered by institutional thinking. Power up your toolbox and just do your thing!

This YouTube presentation is sampled from our Fine Art Landscape DVD available at our website. (Erratum: the DVD Triple pack is 5 hours long, not four, as titled in this YouTube video: our apologies – but better for you!)

Contact us if you’d like further assistance, we’re delighted to help.

Distributors welcome.

Miniature Art – watercolour paintings of animals and wildlife

Posted by admin on March 9th, 2010 and filed under artist prints | 10 Comments »

These paintings by Tracy Hall range in size from 1.75″ x 2.25″ up to 2″ x 3″ and are painted in miniature. A penny is shown to give an idea of scale.

The National Gallery describes a miniaturist as “an artist who works in great detail on a very small scale” – which sums it up perfectly!

I hope you enjoy the video.

Art:21 | Gabriel Orozco | “Samurai Tree”

Posted by admin on March 6th, 2010 and filed under artist prints | 4 Comments »

EXCLUSIVE: Gabriel Orozco discusses recent paintings from his ongoing “Samurai Tree” series, including the works “Fugaz”, “Tuttifruti” and “Red Roots” (all 2008), and the computer animation “Dandelion Animation” (2008), shown as part of the exhibition “Gabriel Orozco: Recent Work” (2008) at Marian Goodman Gallery in New York.

Gabriel Orozcos sculptures and photographs disrupt conventional notions of reality. Drawing our attention to slips in logic, philosophical games, and hidden geometries, Orozco uncovers the extraordinary aspects of the seemingly everyday. His use of humble materials and means (graphite on bone, a ball of clay, a 35mm camera) engages the imagination through its disarming simplicity and intimacy.

Gabriel Orozco is featured in the Season 2 (2003) episode “Loss & Desire” of the “Art:21—Art in the Twenty-First Century” television series on PBS.
