Well, that cuts my labor time down significantly so I finally tried Websters Paint Powder mixed with a Behr paint and primer sample.\nHere is my test piece…BEFORE.\nInstructions for use:\nAdd 1 T of water to 2 T of Websters Powder. Mix well, then add to 1 cup of latex paint.\n(The vendor at The Lazy Daisy shop suggests Behr paint samples. I agree that Behr is a great paint to work with).\nApply 1-2 coats of paint and let dry. Use sandpaper to distress if desired.\nApply a coat of clear wax (and dark wax for an antiqued look). Buff to a shine.\nThe wax I used is Fiddes & Sons in Jacobean and a clear wax from Home Depot. I love it more every time I use it. It is necessary to use clear with it to distribute the dark all over.\nBuff to a shine means using a 600 grit paper to give the piece a polished look once the wax is all rubbed in.\nWhat do you think?\nMy thoughts? I loved it! The all natural powder & water mixture blended easily but I may have had to add a tiny bit more water than suggested (my 2 tablespoons were “heaping”). That mixed with the matte Behr paint made the creamiest solution. My paint was thicker and covered so well the first coat.The second coat went on so smooth and super fast. I even painted the inside. The brush lines dissolved on their own and when I took my sander to it for distressing the paint stayed in place really well except where I applied extra pressure to get the wood to come through.\nBest part about using this paint? It was EASY!\nThe powder is sold in The Lazy Daisy where I also have retail space. Teresa at Worthwhile Restyle is the vendor and she also carries waxes, brushes and teaches paint classes.\nIf you are new to painting furniture, taking a class will help you get a professional looking paint finish without having to make a million mistakes on your own by trial and error.\nFor questions on taking a class locally (Richmond, Virginia) or ordering supplies that can also be shipped contact Teresa at: email@example.com\nFinished in one afternoon…. 🙂\nAlthough I believe that some old finishes still call for a little sanding, this was a great product that has dried smooth and hard. I love it!\nHope your weekend is going great. Thanks for reading!", "domain": "painting"}

The exhibit is entitled “Life Changes,” which, Fowler explains, embraces the essence of an ever-changing life, as well as the emotions experienced throughout these changes.\nFowler is an Arkansas artist whose original contemporary abstract expressionist paintings are intended to convey the creative energy and passion for expression through which all artists go. Her mixed media, large-scale paintings on deep, gallery-wrapped canvas, are comprised of multiple layers of strong, vibrant, high-quality fine art acrylic colors, often with added texture. Each piece begins with a concept, a thought, or an idea with the intent to convey emotions and are reflective of their titles.\nFowler received her formal education at the University of Arkansas Little Rock and the Arkansas Arts Center Museum School. Her paintings have been displayed at numerous art galleries and interior design firms throughout Arkansas and in Dallas.\nChrist Church believes that artists, whether painters or singers or sculptors or poets, show something of God when they show us the world’s truth and beauty through their talents.

Early visits to art museums soon led me to making art of my own, which at first (and for many years) was mostly drawing. With the privilege of some natural talent, joined with a lot of practice, observation, and a bit of informal instruction, I began to gain artistic perspective. I produce my art based on instinct and have no formal art training.\nMy current style is a blend. At its core are impressionism and post-impressionism. With many pieces, I strive for a painterly technique. But the subject of each painting affects how I produce it — hence, some variation from piece to piece. Sometimes even a single painting of mine may have different styles throughout the canvas. I don’t allow any rigid formula to force me to make any given painting differently than I feel works well for it. In this sense, emotion, instinct, and impression play a crucial role in my art. As I evolve and refine a piece, instead of making it stiffer, I hope it gains a fresher, looser, more organic look as I go. A completed piece may even contain elements that look very unfinished.\nUltimately, every work I do is, in part, evocative of my personal relationship with great art I’ve observed in the world, and so too, in part, my aspiration to select and portray a subject as my artistic instinct and sensibilities compel me to do.\nI work in gratitude to the many artists whose work has influenced and inspired me, to my parents, to G-d, and to my family.\nThank you again for visiting my site. I’d be flattered if you’re interested in obtaining any of my work for your collection.

But we keep looking.\nThe folks at the Mauritshuis Royal Picture Gallery, The Hague, Holland, where the painting resides are taking a really close look these days. They have called in experts from around the world and marshaled all of the technology and machinery they can muster to look as closely — non-invasively — at the painting as they can.\nThe efforts of these folks are described in a recent article in the New York Times: Uncovering the Secrets of the ‘Girl With a Pearl Earring’ – The New York Times.\nThey’re not likely to come up with an answer to what makes the painting so magical, but they are trying to discover what techniques Vermeer used to bring that painting to life. Vermeer’s approach has always been a mystery to art critics and historians.\nLittle was known about the painting — even its exact location — for the first two hundred years of its life. In 1881, it was listed at an auction and was purchased by Arnoldus Andries des Tombe, a Dutch army officer and art collector who knew of Vermeer’s works and wanted to prevent them from leaving Holland. The price was less than $50. Des Tombe donated it to the Mauritshuis in 1902.\nThe painting remained in obscurity for most of the 20th century.\nIn 1999 author Tracy Chevalier published a historical novel with the title of the painting and with a fictional story of how the painting came about. The novel inspired a feature film in 2003 and a stage play in 2008.\nBeginning in 2012, the painting was part of a two-year worldwide tour that had the painting on display in Italy, Japan, and the United States. Its fame grew, and its charm was multi-cultural.\nAnd yet, in essence, it is still a mystery.\nIf you want to know more about Vermeer and the painting, here are a couple of places to look:\nThe videos series Exhibition on Screen is a multi-part, multi-season series on artworks and artists. It is available on Amazon here; if you’re a prime member it’s free. The first season has a show on Vermeer; the second season has a show devoted mostly to the Girl With the Pearl Earring.\nTake a look, too, at Laura Snyder‘s Eye of the Beholder: Johannes Vermeer, Antoni van Leeuwenhoer, and the Reinvention of Seeing.\nGet a FREE copy of Kill the Quarterback\nGet a free digital copy of Jim Stovall's mystery novel, Kill the Quarterback.

Some more good news about the project is that we have successfully cut all the tires we needed this passed Wednesday with the help of Mr. Rod.

The strong paint odor can linger in the space even after the paint layer has dried.\nThe pungent scent of paint is produced by its volatile organic compounds. The smell that penetrates the space is caused by these compounds evaporating. When this substance completely evaporates from the surfaces, the smell will go. However, it can take a week to complete.\nIn addition to the unpleasant smell, breathing in paint fumes for an extended period might have negative side effects. Exposure to solvent paint vapors can cause immediate symptoms such as lightheaded, nausea, and dizziness. As a result, getting rid of paint odor as soon as possible is essential.\nHow To Get Rid of Paint Smell\nAfter you have finished painting the rooms, Allow the paint fumes to escape your room by opening all of the doors and windows. It is an easy way to get rid of the smell of paint. However, simply ventilating the room will not remove the paint odor. For the best results, you need to look for solutions that are proven to work. Here are some natural ways to get rid of the paint odor.\nInvest in Fans or an Air Purifier\nVentilation is very important to let paint fumes escape from the room. Only opening windows and doors will not be enough for it. You can utilize a box or normal fans, place them facing the windows, and turn them on. You can use 2-3 fans to ensure that paint fumes are eradicated quickly. By doing this, you can also dry the paint in the process.\nAir purifiers are also effective equipment to absorb toxic paint fumes. Turn the air purifier on as soon as possible after finishing the painting process. It can immediately absorb bad odors from the room. You can also utilize air purifiers to absorb mold spores from a space.\nUsing Buckets of Water\nYou can utilize water to neutralize the paint smell. Water can absorb paint solvent vapors from the air. However, this method only works for lighter paint fumes.\nPlace a few buckets of water in the room. Let it sit overnight and dispose of the water the other day. You can squeeze some fresh lemons or use their peels inside the water for an aromatic citrus aroma in the room. It is highly suggested not to drink the water exposed to the paint fumes.\nPlace a Bowl of Vinegar\nThe acetic acid content of Vinegar can neutralize bad odors like pee, weed, smoke, and paint from the room. Vinegar is an easily accessible cleaning agent that can absorb the paint and leave a chemical-free smell around the space.\nYou can place a bowl of household vinegar in every room you recently painted. It is recommended to use culinary Vinegar in case household vinegar is not showing effective results. The culinary Vinegar contains 10% acetic acid, which makes it powerful enough to kill odor-causing bacteria. The only drawback is Vinegar has a potent stench that can be left in a room. But, it can dissipate after some time. You can also use this method to get rid of spray paint smell.\nSprinkle or Place a Baking Soda Bowl\nBaking soda is a natural deodorizer with odor-absorbing properties, which can help eliminate the paint smell. It is an inexpensive method to eradicate bad odors from space.\nYou will need a bowl of baking soda and place it in a recently painted room. Use several bowls of baking soda if the odor is strong. You can also use this method to remove the weed smell from cars.\nSprinkle the baking soda on carpets or upholstery if placing the baking soda powder in a bowl is not enough to eliminate the smell. Let the baking soda sit overnight and vacuum the next. It is a safe and effective method that will not damage your carpet or upholstery fabric. In the process, the baking soda will also leave an aromatic smell on the carpet and upholstery.\nApply the Activated Charcoal Method\nThe chemical absorbing ability of activated charcoal can remove the paint fumes from the air. Not only masking the odor, but It is also effective in absorbing it. Since the charcoal is porous, it is easy for odor-causing bacteria to absorb. It acts as a natural air purifier that you can use to eliminate weed odor.\nYou can place charcoal in an aluminum pan and leave it in the room. It will show results after just a few hours. For effective results, place them before starting to paint. But, make sure it doesn’t get spilled on carpets and furniture since it can leave serious stains that can be hard to tackle.\nPut Coffee Grounds in an Open Container\nCoffee grounds have a similar odor-neutralizing effect as charcoal in a space. Coffee grinds are an excellent way to remove pollutants from the atmosphere.\nIt is a natural deodorizer that masks the smell of paint with its fragrant perfume. You can use baking soda instead of coffee if you don’t like how it smells.\nThis method is also useful for removing unpleasant smells from refrigerators and cars.\nPut dry coffee grounds in a bowl and place them in recently painted rooms. Let it sit overnight for effective results. After the paint smell is gone from the room, dispose of them. It is recommended not to consume coffee grounds subjected to paint fumes.\nUsing Essential Oil Extract\nYou can pour a few drops of natural essential oil extract into a cotton ball. Place the cotton balls in a bowl or a saucer and scatter them around different corners of the recently painted room.\nYou can also mix a few drops of extracted oil in the paint before starting the painting process. By doing this, you can minimize the strength of the paint fumes. This method also prevents pests like spiders, ants, bed bugs, and cockroaches from the house.\nPeppermint and vanilla extract are the best to remove smell compared to other natural extracts. The aromatic smell of peppermint and vanilla helps to mask the paint smell in the room. Other essentials that can overpower the paint fumes are lavender, rosemary, orange, and rose.\nNot only flavoring the dishes, but you can also use freshly sliced onions to neutralize the paint odor. Sliced onions can absorb unpleasant odors from the air, including paint smell.\nYou can use 2-3 medium-sized onions and slice them. Put the sliced onions in a bowl or a saucer and place them in rooms where you recently painted. Let it sit for several hours and dispose of them afterward. It is highly suggested not to use them for cooking purposes. The onions’ chemicals absorbed in the air can have health risks when consumed.\nDiatomaceous Earth Approach\nDiatomaceous Earth(DE) can help to absorb unwanted odors from rooms since it has a porous structure that makes it good at absorbing odors from space. It also works as a deodorizer and is safe to use.\nYou can place DE powder in an open container in the room’s corners. By doing this, you can eliminate the paint odor in no time. You can also sprinkle DE powder to kill pests like bed bugs, spiders, fleas, ticks, and cockroaches.\nLighting Scented Candles\nCandles with scents can effectively cover up unpleasant odors in a space. The same holds for masking a room’s paint fumes. Additionally, it can burn airborne paint compounds. Scented candles and removing toxins from the air can help people concentrate better and be more productive.\nYou can choose from a selection of fragrances for scented candles. Light one of these candles in the recently painted area and let it do its work. A few candles won’t be enough to mask the paint smell in a larger room. If the room is too spacious, light a couple of additional candles.\nHowever, you have to make sure that candles are not left unattended. Unattended candles are a great risk for fire damage.\nTips to Prevent Strong Paint Smells\n- Select paint with lesser or zero Volatile organic compounds to avoid a strong paint stench. Low or zero VOC paints can avoid serious health hazards like respiratory issues and cancer.\n- Avoid turning on the air conditioning and vents while painting a room. When you turn on ACs and air vents while painting, the paint smell can get stuck in them and keep recirculating the paint fumes for longer.\n- Close the paint lids as soon as you are done. Open paint cans can emit strong fumes that circulate inside space for a long time.\n- If possible, try to paint the room in a cooler season so the paint solvent can evaporate faster, eliminating the paint smell soon. Use fans to speed up the drying process if you decide to paint in the humid season.\n- Apply oil or latex paint after drying the first coat of paint. By doing this, you can prevent the paint fumes from traveling in space for several years.", "domain": "painting"}

One of the most important events that will make your house beautiful after a long, dreary Ohio winter is spring painting! A fresh coat of paint at the hand of a Cincinnati painting contractor will make the outside of your home pop against the bright blue skies. In this short guide, you will be informed of the top five reasons to paint your home this spring.\nOne of the most important reasons for spring painting the exterior of your home is due to the harsh Ohio winters. Ohio is known to get all four seasons in one week, and this can be hard on the home’s exterior paint. When sunshine, snow, and wind occur, it can cause damage to your siding and paint. It is best to have a Cincinnati painting contractor evaluate your home for any leaks and then repaint the exterior to its original glamorous appeal.\n- Resale Value\nAnother critical reason to performing spring painting, with or without a Cincinnati painting contractor, is for the resale value of your home. If you are thinking about selling your home now or in the future, it is crucial to keep the appeal of the home intact; not only is it easier to sell when you are ready, but buyers who may be scoping out a particular neighborhood will remember the dilapidated house before your repairs. This may cause them to look elsewhere and skip over your well-done remodeling job.\nKeeping your house in good condition is always a great reason to perform spring painting. Painting not only gives your exterior a fresh look but in the process of painting, you can see if there are any damages to your home that you were unaware of. Items such as damage to the gutters, water leaks, termite issues, and other like problems can be easily spotted by yourself or a Cincinnati painting contractor, and repairs can occur accordingly.\nThere is something to be said about curb appeal. If for nothing more than superficial reasons, a nicely painted house is attractive. It not only makes your property look good, but it makes you feel proud and grateful as a homeowner!\nUnfortunately, time just keeps on ticking by whether you want it to or not. That fresh coat of paint you put on years ago needs to be completed again. It is just the normal wear and tear of owning a home in the hot Ohio summers. If you use a professional who is knowledgeable and uses a better-quality paint, more time can pass before you need to paint again. It also makes a difference in who performs the painting. You need to use someone who has quality work, such as a Cincinnati painting contractor.\nAs you can see, spring painting with or without a Cincinnati painting contractor is a lot of work. There is much planning and time invested in not only deciding if you need to paint but also in choosing a painting color and implementing the process. If you follow our advice on the top five great reasons to paint your home this spring, you will not only have the best-looking house in the neighborhood, but you will have a well-maintained house that won’t be needing repairs anytime soon!", "domain": "painting"}

Natural Light:\nNatural light varies throughout the day, from the warm, golden tones of morning sunlight to the cooler, bluish hues of daylight. Consider how different times of day affect the appearance of paint colors. A color that looks cozy and inviting in the morning might appear stark in the afternoon sunlight.\nOpt for warm tones like soft yellows, warm beige, or light shades of peach for rooms bathed in morning sunlight. For spaces receiving intense afternoon light, consider cooler tones such as blues, greens, or grays to balance the brightness.\n2. Artificial Lighting:\nWarm vs. Cool Lighting:\nIncandescent bulbs emit warm, yellowish light, while LEDs and fluorescents produce cooler, bluish light. The choice of bulbs significantly impacts how paint colors are perceived.\nSelecting Complementary Colors:\nIf your room is primarily lit with warm-toned bulbs, opt for colors with warm undertones like buttery yellows, warm browns, or muted reds. For spaces illuminated by cool-toned lights, lean towards colors with cooler undertones like lavender, mint green, or slate gray.\n3. Creating Balance:\nConsider the Room’s Purpose:\nThe function of the room should guide your color choices. For cozy spaces like bedrooms or living rooms, opt for calming and warm colors. In areas requiring focus, such as home offices, choose muted, soothing tones. For vibrant spaces like kitchens, experiment with bold accents against neutral backgrounds.\nSample and Test:\nBefore committing to a color, always test it on a small section of the wall. Observe how it looks under different lighting conditions and at different times of the day. Sampling helps you avoid surprises and ensures your chosen color complements the room’s lighting.\nThe interplay between lighting and paint colors is an art that can transform your home into a harmonious sanctuary. By understanding the nuances of natural and artificial light and choosing colors that complement these lighting conditions, you can create spaces that are visually appealing, inviting, and cohesive. Your home will not only look beautiful during the day but also exude warmth and charm as the evening sets in.\nSo, whether you’re basking in the morning sunlight or enjoying the soft glow of artificial lights, let your paint colors enhance the ambiance. With the right hues and lighting, your home will radiate a sense of balance, inviting you to relax and unwind in its perfectly illuminated embrace.\nReady to Illuminate Your Home?

Back in the day, the dangers associated with lead poisoning weren’t as widely known as they are today. Let’s take a look at what you need to know about lead-based paint, lead poisoning, and home renovations.\nIf you’re not familiar with the dangers of lead, it might seem odd that a common ingredient in household paints could actually pose a serious health risk to anyone. However, it’s true: the lead used in this type of paint can pose the same risks as any toxic metal. The reason it went undetected for so long is that lead-based paint on walls only becomes dangerous as it deteriorates.\nIf your home has lead paint on the walls, it’s possible that it will never pose you any serious risks, assuming the paint remains unbroken and doesn’t begin flaking off. However, over time all paints will break down, and the lead dust from the paint will get into your home. If there’s lead paint on the exterior of your home, it could also contaminate the soil.\nChildren are especially vulnerable to this problem. Since they’re more likely than adults to put things like paint chips or toys into their mouths, they’ve got a much higher likelihood of ingesting the toxic metal. Likewise, kids playing in contaminated soil could encounter high concentrations of lead from the home’s exterior paint.\nEven adults aren’t immune. If you live in a house with deteriorating lead paint, odds are good you’re inhaling lead dust. This is terrible for your health, and prolonged exposure can have serious side effects.\nIf your home was built before 1978, it’s possible it could have lead paint. The older the home, the more likely lead-based paints were used somewhere in the home. If all of the surfaces in your home are pristine, then you’re in no immediate danger. However, you should consider having your home inspected before you do any major renovations that will break the surface of paint jobs inside and outside your home.\nIf the inspection determines that the paint on your home is lead-based, then you’ll need to take special precautions when renovating. These steps can include either sealing the lead paint permanently behind specialized coatings or having a professional completely remove the paint from all surfaces in your home.", "domain": "painting"}

With various options available, it’s essential to understand the different paint finishes before making a decision. In this article, we will explore the various types of paint finishes and help you determine which one is suitable for your project.\n1. Matte Finish:\nA matte finish is the most basic type of paint finish, also known as flat finish. This finish does not reflect light, making it perfect for concealing imperfections on walls. It provides a smooth, non-reflective appearance, giving your walls a velvety texture. Matte finishes are commonly used in low-traffic areas like bedrooms and living rooms. If you’re seeking a contemporary, minimalist look, a matte finish can be an ideal choice.\n2. Eggshell Finish:\nAn eggshell finish falls between a matte and satin finish. It offers a slight sheen that adds warmth and depth to your space. It is more durable than a matte finish and can withstand moderate cleaning, making it suitable for areas with more traffic such as hallways, children’s rooms, and dining areas. If you want a soft, elegant look with a touch of sheen, an eggshell finish would be a great option.\n3. Satin Finish:\nA satin finish has a higher sheen compared to a matte or eggshell finish. It reflects more light and offers a smooth, velvety appearance. Satin finishes are versatile and durable, making them ideal for high-traffic areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and hallways. They are also more resistant to moisture and stains, making them easier to clean. Hiring a professional paint contractor can ensure a flawless satin finish.\n4. Semi-Gloss Finish:\nA semi-gloss finish is shiny and reflective, making it an excellent choice for areas that require frequent cleaning or are exposed to moisture, such as bathrooms and kitchens. It is highly durable, easy to clean, and resistant to mold and mildew. Semi-gloss finishes are commonly used in trim, doors, and cabinets to create a striking contrast with the walls. For a professional touch, consult a paint contractor to achieve a flawless semi-gloss finish.\n5. Gloss Finish:\nA gloss finish is the most reflective and shiny paint finish available. It provides a polished, mirror-like appearance to your walls. Gloss finishes are less commonly used on walls and are mostly preferred for accent areas or furniture. If you want to create a statement piece or highlight architectural details, a gloss finish can be an excellent choice.\nIn conclusion, understanding the different paint finishes is crucial in achieving the desired look for your space. By considering factors such as durability, ease of cleaning, and desired aesthetic, you can choose the right paint finish for each area in your home. Consulting a professional paint contractor can further ensure a flawless application, as they possess the expertise and tools to deliver exceptional results. So, make an informed decision and transform your space with the perfect paint finish.\nArticle posted by:\nCoastal Painting Professionals | Painting Contractor In Bradenton, Fl", "domain": "painting"}

He studied painting in Italy and France and in 1884 caused a sensation at the Paris Salon with his painting of Madame Gautreau. Exhibited as Madame X, people complained that the painting was provocatively erotic. The scandal persuaded Sargent to move to England and over the next few years established himself as the country's leading portrait painter. This included portraits of Joseph Chamberlain (1896), Frank Swettenham (1904) and Henry James (1913). Sargent made several visits to the USA where as well as portraits he worked on a series of decorative paintings for public buildings such as the Boston Public Library (1890) and the Museum of Fine Arts (1916).\nIn 1879, Sargent painted a portrait of Carolus-Duran; the virtuoso effort met with public approval, and announced the direction his mature work would take. Its showing at the Paris Salon was both a tribute to his teacher and an advertisement for portrait commissions. Of Sargent's early work, Henry James wrote that the artist offered 'the slightly \"uncanny\" spectacle of a talent which on the very threshold of its career has nothing more to learn'.\nIn the early 1880s Sargent regularly exhibited portraits at the Salon, and these were mostly full-length portrayals of women: Madame Edouard Pailleron in 1880, Madame Ramón Subercaseaux in 1881, and Lady with the Rose, 1882. He continued to receive positive critical notice.\nSargent's best portraits reveal the individuality and personality of the sitters; his most ardent admirers think he is matched in this only by Velázquez, who was one of Sargent's great influences. The Spanish master's spell is apparent in Sargent's The Daughters of Edward Darley Boit, 1882, a haunting interior which echoes Velázquez' Las Meninas. Sargent's Portrait of Madame X, done in 1884, is now considered one of his best works, and was the artist's personal favorite; eventually Sargent sold it to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. However, at the time it was unveiled in Paris at the 1884 Salon, it aroused such a negative reaction that it prompted Sargent to move to London. Prior to the Mme. X. scandal of 1884, he had painted exotic beauties such as Rosina Ferrara of Capri, and the Spanish expatriate model, Carmela Bertagna, but the earlier pictures had not been intended for broad public reception.\nBefore his arrival in England, Sargent began sending paintings for exhibition at the Royal Academy. These included the portraits of Dr. Pozzi at Home, 1881, a flamboyant essay in red, and the more traditional Mrs. Henry White, 1883. The ensuing portrait commissions encouraged Sargent to finalize his move to London in 1886. His first major success at the Royal Academy came in 1887, with the enthusiastic response to Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose, a large piece, painted on site, of two young girls lighting lanterns in an English garden. The painting was immediately purchased by the Tate Gallery. In 1894 Sargent was elected an associate of the Royal Academy, and was made a full member three years later. In the 1890s he averaged fourteen portrait commissions per year, none more beautiful than the genteel Lady Agnew of Lochnaw, 1892. As a portrait painter in the grand manner, Sargent's success was unmatched; his subjects were at once ennobled and often possessed of nervous energy (Mrs. Hugh Hammersley, 1892). With little fear of contradiction, Sargent was referred to as 'the Van Dyck of our times'.\nSargent painted a series of three portraits of Robert Louis Stevenson. The second, Portrait of Robert Louis Stevenson and his Wife (1885), was one of his best known. He also completed portraits of two U.S. presidents: Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson.\nDuring the greater part of Sargent's career, he created roughly 900 oil paintings and more than 2,000 watercolours, as well as countless sketches and charcoal drawings. From 1907 on Sargent forsook portrait painting and focused on landscapes in his later years; he also sculpted later in life. His oeuvre documents worldwide travel, from Venice to the Tyrol, Corfu, Montana and Florida, and each destination offered pictorial treasure. As a concession to the insatiable demand of wealthy patrons for portraits, however, he continued to dash off rapid charcoal portrait sketches for them, which he called \"Mugs\". Forty-six of these, spanning the years 1890-1916, were exhibited at the Royal Society of Portrait Painters in 1916.\nSargent is usually not thought of as an Impressionist painter, but he sometimes used impressionistic techniques to great effect, and his Claude Monet Painting at the Edge of a Wood is rendered in his own version of the impressionist style.\nAlthough Sargent was an American expatriate, he returned to the United States many times, often to answer the demand for commissioned portraits. Many of his most important works are in museums in the U.S.; in 1909 he exhibited eighty-six watercolours in New York City, eighty-three of which were bought by the Brooklyn Museum. His mural decorations grace the Boston Public Library. For this commission, a series of oils on the theme of The Triumph of Religion that were attached to the walls of the library by means of marouflage, Sargent made numerous visits to the United States in the last decade of his life, including a stay of two full years from 1915-1917.\nIt is in some of his late works where one senses Sargent painting most purely for himself. His watercolors, often of landscapes documenting his travels (Santa Maria della Salute, 1904, Brooklyn Museum of Art), were executed with a joyful fluidness. In watercolours and oils he portrayed his friends and family dressed in Orientalist costume, relaxing in brightly lit landscapes that allowed for a more vivid palette and experimental handling than did his commissions (The Chess Game, 1906).\nAmong the artists with whom Sargent associated were Dennis Miller Bunker, Carroll Beckwith, Edwin Austin Abbey (who also worked on the Boston Public Library murals), Francis David Millet, Wilfrid de Glehn, Jane Emmet de Glehn and Claude Monet, whom Sargent painted. Sargent developed a life-long friendship with fellow painter Paul César Helleu, whom he met in Paris in 1878 when Sargent was 22 and Helleu was 18. Sargent painted both Helleu and his wife Alice on several occasions, most memorably in the impressionistic Paul Helleu Sketching with his Wife, 1889. His supporters included Henry James, Isabella Stewart Gardner (who commissioned and purchased works from Sargent, and sought his advice on other acquisitions), and Edward VII, whose recommendation for knighthood the artist declined.\nSargent was extremely private regarding his personal life, although the painter Jacques-Émile Blanche, who was one of his early sitters, said after his death that Sargent's sex life \"was notorious in Paris, and in Venice, positively scandalous. He was a frenzied bugger.\" The truth of this may never be established. Some scholars have suggested that Sargent was homosexual. He had personal associations with Prince Edmond de Polignac and Count Robert de Montesquiou. His male nudes reveal complex and well-considered artistic sensibilities about the male physique and male sensuality; this can be particularly observed in his portrait of Thomas E. McKeller, but also in Tommies Bathing, nude sketches for Hell and Judgement, and his portraits of young men, like Bartholomy Maganosco and Head of Olimpio Fusco. However, there were many friendships with women, as well, and a similar sensualism informs his female portrait and figure studies (notably Egyptian Girl, 1891). The likelihood of an affair with Louise Burkhardt, the model for Lady with the Rose, is accepted by Sargent scholars.\nIn a time when the art world focused, in turn, on Impressionism, Fauvism, and Cubism, Sargent practiced his own form of Realism, which brilliantly referenced Velázquez, Van Dyck, and Gainsborough. His seemingly effortless facility for paraphrasing the masters in a contemporary fashion led to a stream of commissioned portraits of remarkable virtuosity (Arsène Vigeant, 1885, Musées de Metz ; Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Newton Phelps-Stokes, 1897, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York) and earned Sargent the moniker, \"the Van Dyck of our times.\" Still, during his life his work engendered critical responses from some of his colleagues: Camille Pissarro wrote \"he is not an enthusiast but rather an adroit performer\", and Walter Sickert published a satirical turn under the heading \"Sargentolatry\". By the time of his death he was dismissed as an anachronism, a relic of the Gilded Age and out of step with the artistic sentiments of post-World War I Europe. Foremost of Sargent's detractors was the influential English art critic Roger Fry, of the Bloomsbury Group, who at the 1926 Sargent retrospective in London dismissed Sargent's work as lacking aesthetic quality\nDespite a long period of critical disfavor, Sargent's popularity has increased steadily since the 1960s, and Sargent has been the subject of recent large-scale exhibitions in major museums, including a retrospective exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art in 1986, and a 1999 \"blockbuster\" travelling show that exhibited at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the National Gallery of Art Washington, and the National Gallery, London.\nIt has been suggested that the exotic qualities inherent in his work appealed to the sympathies of the Jewish clients whom he painted from the 1890s on. Nowhere is this more apparent than in his portrait Almina, Daughter of Asher Wertheimer (1908), in which the subject is seen wearing a Persian costume, a pearl encrusted turban, and strumming an Indian sarod, accoutrements all meant to convey sensuality and mystery. If Sargent used this portrait to explore issues of sexuality and identity, it seems to have met with the satisfaction of the subject's father, Asher Wertheimer, a wealthy Jewish art dealer living in London, who commissioned from Sargent a series of a dozen portraits of his family, the artist's largest commission from a single patron. The paintings reveal a pleasant familiarity between the artist and his subjects. Wertheimer bequeathed most of the paintings to the National Gallery.\nJohn Singer Sargent is interred in Brookwood Cemetery near Woking, Surrey.\nPortrait of Robert Louis Stevenson and his Wife sold in 2004 for $8.8 million to Las Vegas casino mogul Steve Wynn to be installed at his newest casino, Wynn Las Vegas.\nIn December 2004, Group with Parasols (A Siesta) (1905) sold for $US 23.5 million, nearly double the Sotheby's estimate of $12 million. The previous highest price for a Sargent painting was $US 11 million.(From wikipedia)", "domain": "painting"}

Examples include consistency, gloss, flow, drying time, transparency and durability of a paint film. As an underlying (lean) layer absorbs oil from a subsequent layer, a subsequent layer has to contain relatively more oil. Think of the rule, fat over lean.\nWHAT IS PAINTING PASTE AND WHEN AND HOW IS THIS MEDIUM USED?\nPainting paste is an unpigmented (colourless) oil paint. The medium can be mixed with oil paint in any proportion without the paint losing its colour and consistency. This allows more paint to be made from very expensive colours.\nPainting paste can also be used to prevent certain colours from wrinkling on the surface when applied in thick layers. A mixture combination in the ratio 1:1 is sufficient for this.\nPainting paste does not yellow and increases the durability of the paint layer. The paint becomes a little more matt and the drying time decreases a little.\nDOES A MEDIUM HAVE TO BE USED WHEN PAINTING WITH OIL COLOURS?\nWhether a medium is used depends on the chosen technique. With oil colours there are two possible techniques: ‘Allaprima’ and ‘layered painting’.\n‘Allaprima’ means that the painting will be painted ‘wet-into-wet’. With this technique the colours are mixed not only on the palette but also on the painting itself, and the paint can be continued to be thinned with the same solvent or medium, or the paint can be used pure.\nLayered painting means that the painting is made up of various layers. A subsequent layer can only be applied once the previous layer is dry enough for it to no longer dissolve. Meticulous use of the various solvents is advised in connection with the adherence of the individual layers. Through anchoring, oil colours adhere into a porous ground. If a thick layer of pure oil colour were to be allowed to dry, then this would not be porous enough for a good adherence of the next layer.\nLayered painting uses a technique that is called ‘fat-over-lean’, which also can be described as flexible over less flexible. For the first layer the paint is thinned with white spirit or turpentine. Due to the thinning there is relatively little oil on the painted surface. The layer is ‘lean’.\nWHAT CAUSES THE RAPID DRYING FROM A QUICK-DRYING PAINTING MEDIUM?\nA normal painting medium is a mixture of (linseed) oil, solvent (white spirit and/or turpentine) and the resins dissolved in the solvent. The solvent evaporates from the paint, the resins strengthen the paint film and the oil is responsible for the drying time. Linseed oil dries chemically. The oil absorbs oxygen from the air, resulting in the molecules linking to one another in firm chains. This process takes a long time and explains why it takes oil paint so long to dry.\nIf we want the paint to dry more quickly then we have to add something to the paint to enable it to take up oxygen more quickly. This is done with solutions of certain metal compounds, called siccatives, that can be added directly or via a medium. A quick-drying medium therefore consists of the same ingredients as a normal medium, but with the addition of siccatives. Siccatives can also be bought pure and can cause problems if used in high concentrations. The amount in Talens Painting Medium Quick-drying 084 is safe for the durability of the painting.\nOnce the first layer is dry enough, the second layer is applied, thinned with Painting Medium. Talens Painting Medium consists of three components: oil, resin and white spirit. The extra added oil feeds the lean first paint layer by filling the pores that are formed by the evaporated solvent. At the same time this second layer can also adhere well to the underlying layer. The evaporation of the white spirit forms new pores which allow for the adherence of a subsequent layer. The third ingredient, resin, makes the paint layer stronger.\nIf we apply a third layer, we need to use a medium that is fatter still in order to feed and strengthen the underlying layers. If a painting is made of more layers, then the mentioned thinning agents can be mixed proportionately from lean to increasingly fatter.\nThe last layer to be applied is usually a glazing paint layer. Glazing is the application of a transparent layer of paint. No brush stroke may be seen in a glaze as the brush strokes of the underlying paint are visible. Various glazing mediums can be used, such as Talens Glazing Medium, Alkyd Medium, Venetian Turpentine and Stand Oil. These mediums are fatter than the painting medium and allow the paint to flow without showing any brush stroke.\nHOW DO I USE AN ALKYD MEDIUM?\nAlkyd Medium can be used as both a glazing medium and painting medium. If used as a painting medium the “fat-over-lean” technique must be used. The medium is fairly ‘fat’ and can be made leaner through the addition of white spirit or turpentine. For the last layer and for glazing techniques Alkyd Medium can be used pure. It yellows somewhat, shortens the drying time and increases the durability of the paint film. It increases the gloss of the paint a little, and decreases the brush stroke.\nWHEN IS GLAZING MEDIUM USED?\nTalens glazing medium is the modern replacement for traditional glazing mediums such as stand oil and Venetian turpentine. It differs in its non-yellowing paint layer. The medium increases the flow as well as the gloss of the paint, does not affect the drying time and can be thinned with white spirit or turpentine. Only to be used in the final layers.\n24xxxxxx TALENS MEDIUMS FOR OIL COLOUR\n24280007 TALENS ALKYD MEDIUM 75ML\n24280083 TALENS PAINTING MEDIUM 75ML\n24300083 TALENS PAINTING MEDIUM 250ML\n24320083 TALENS PAINTING MEDIUM 1000ML\n24280084 TALENS PAINTING MEDIUM QUICK DRY 75ML\n24300084 TALENS PAINTING MEDIUM QUICK DRY 250ML\n24320084 TALENS PAINTING MEDIUM QUICK DRY 1000ML\n24280086 TALENS GLAZING MEDIUM 75ML\n24300086 TALENS GLAZING MEDIUM 250ML\n24060096 TALENS PAINTING PASTE 60ML", "domain": "painting"}

fantastical ideas through unique visual experience, bringing back neglected beauty and harmony to fine art.\nFurthermore, the artist's advance rare genuine egg tempera by means of new creative works of fine art, inspiring interest among the public in this extraordinary medium.\nGenuine Egg Tempera:\nWidely practiced by fine art painters up to the Early Renaissance, genuine egg tempera, so unique for its hand preparation of paints, made from natural stones such a lapis lazuli and malachite, durability and luminosity of colors, which do not alter their brilliance over centuries of time, is one of the oldest painting mediums known to mankind, found in the art of cave paintings, the art of the Egyptians, and illuminated manuscripts of the Byzantine world.\nLargely forgotten since the introduction of oil paint, genuine egg tempera has survived to our modern days of high technological innovation, mostly through the art of icon writers.\nProtecting treasured knowledge of genuine egg tempera passed down through the generations, multiplying artistic skills by way of experimentation and experience, and developing the rare medium with each and every new artwork, Elena Vladimir Baranoff and Anastasia Elena Baranoff are dedicated to infusing new life into the lasting fine art tradition.\nInternationally acclaimed, award-winning fine artist Elena Vladimir Baranoff has dedicated over thirty years to fine art, creating original imaginative painting compositions, portraits, miniatures, icons, designs, all in the ancient medium of genuine egg tempera.\nHaving earned a Masters of Fine Art in Miniature Painting, Elena was taught creative fine art composition in the extraordinary genuine egg tempera medium at legendary Palekh Art College, Russia, renowned for its 20th century fine art movement, where centuries old traditions were inherited from generations of icon writers by generations of fine artists.\nOver the years, Elena has developed her own highly innovative genuine egg tempera technique, new approach and style of painting, perfecting and championing this mesmerizing medium in imaginative fine art compositions and portraiture.\nElena has exhibited her paintings at such museums as the National Portrait Gallery in London, Dean Gallery of the National Galleries of Scotland in Edinburgh, Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C., Leepa-Rattner Museum

fine artists and icon writers.\nTaught the art of genuine egg tempera painting exclusively by her mother Elena Vladimir Baranoff, Anastasia is an honorary graduate of School of the Arts and Academy of Art University, San Francisco and studied at Parsons School of Design, New York and Central Saint Martins, London.\nAs a fine artist and guardian of lasting family traditions, Anastasia is committed to painting her imaginative artworks in genuine egg tempera and promoting the rare medium in the new millennium.\nAnastasia’s numerous awards and honors include the Congressional Arts Competition Special Recognition from the Congress of the United States of America, “Best Work By A Young Artist Award” in the 38th & 37th International Fine Art Exhibition of The Miniature Art Society of Florida,

in Florida, Bennington Center for the Arts in Vermont, Mall Galleries in London, Dunedin Fine Arts Center in Florida, among others.\nOn The Subject Of My Self-Portrait And Creativity\nElena Vladimir Baranoff\nThe self-portrait «Awakening» is a work of contemporary portraiture, created in the ancient medium of genuine egg tempera, so rarely practiced by fine artists in our modern day and age.\nCompleted in 2017, the painting is the first self-portrait in my professional and artistic life of an artist, and an inseparable part of a portrait collection of contemporaries, which I have been creating for a number of years.\nBeing a painter, whose artistic life revolves around the creation of artworks on the themes of fairy tales, legends, myths, in «Awakening» I depicted myself in the inspired process of composing an auteur painting inspired by Charles Perrault’s “Sleeping Beauty”.\nYou see me in the very pose I take each and every day, my upper body arched over the artworks I create, forearms supported by a rest, hand holding a tiny custom squirrel hair brush, in the company of my constant companion, a wooden case containing freshly prepared paints.\nIn my painted composition, the enchanting maiden reposes in magic slumber, locked in a high tower, soaring above a bewitched city, waiting to be awakened.\nThus, the title “Awakening” was given to the self-portrait, whose leitmotif is the rebirth of neglected beauty in the world of fine art, in resistance to the unaesthetic, crestfallen paintings in abundance today. “Awakening” stands for the triumph of artistry and the exquisite in visual art.\nMy signature painting technique in genuine egg tempera has reached such a level that allows me to create freely, first and foremost concentrating on and thinking of the intellectual framework of the painting, and how, through art, I can convey the meaning and internal feeling of the artwork.\nWith years, I have developed my personal approach to the creation of my artistic works, and the main elements of my paintings are the spiritual components, sparking emotional dialogue with viewers.\nThe beginning point of every work of art, its heart, is the idea.\nWhen an idea is born, a true artist visualizes the future artwork in the imagination and sees, knows its look.\nFrom there, the creator just needs to express the idea and its vision to life, materialize it, show it to the world. The richer the imagination of the artist, stronger the talent, masterly the skills, the more captivating and moving the artwork is.\nOne of the distinctive qualities of my artworks is their musicality. They possess a sense of rhythm, dynamic, balance and lyricism, communicated through an auteur vision.\nAll in whole, they are manifested in my paintings through the finest details, reaching harmony in the composition itself, its color formula and emotional vibrancy.\nHarmony is impossible to explain in words. Words don’t have the power to express what harmony is, but when a person sees it, meets with it, in any form, one knows, feels, and senses its presence. Harmony cannot be confused with anything else and in my artworks, the search and discovery of harmony, is foremost.\nThe other individual quality of my paintings is the color palette.\nColor plays a most important role in my art, through the color palette of an artwork I convey so much, emotions, mood.\nJust as in music, when we hear a certain combination of notes, rhythm, tempo and tonality, we can become wistful, and even cry, and from another experience euphoria and bliss.\nJust so, in art, through color and its endless variety of combinations, a painter can express a wide-ranging gamut of feelings.\nI aim for my paintings to have soul, depth. To capture my emotions and have the artwork and its intensity resonate with viewers, stirring up reaction, conversation.\nWith my self-portrait, I also wished to erase the stereotypical image of today’s artist: a messy, spattered shirt and tattered trouser wearing odd character.\nLooking at my painting, some may say that it’s not naturalistic for an artist to work in such clothes.\nMy answer to that is, the entire ensemble consists of sincere elements: a shawl gifted to me by my mother, laced around the head to fasten my hair, a kaftan designed and sewn by me from intertwined cotton rogozhka fabric, comfortable and relaxed, it brightens up the day with its marvelous printed motif.\nI believe a painter is an ambassador of culture, committed to treat oneself as an artistic individual and to look like one, gifting people aesthetic visual pleasure.\nBeing an artist, I adore beautiful fabric designs by talented textile artists and in support of their creations, shall in every way possible display such craftsmanship in my clothes.\nCreating artworks inspired by fairy tales and enchanting stories, ornamented original attire helps me to immerse myself in the irresistible worlds I compose.\nSuch is my personal point of view of a modern day creator.\n«Awakening» was presented to the public and premiered in the annual exhibition of the Royal Society of Portrait Painters, under the patronage of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, from May 9 – 24, 2019 at Mall Galleries, The Mall in London.\nPortrait of the Week:\nElena Vladimir Baranoff \"Richard Chartres, Lord Bishop of London\"\nBy Andrew Webster, Editor Fine Art Today\n\"Elena Vladimir Baranoff. A champion of traditional Medieval egg tempera painting and techniques, Baranoff is among the “Hall of Fame” portraitists living today.\"\n\"The painting, by Elena Vladimir Baranoff, uses egg tempera, a traditional medium currently being revived by the Egg Tempera Movement, which the bishop supports and of which Baranoff is a founder.\"\nSelf-portraiture presents a unique occasion for a painter to immerse oneself in a moving and searching exploration of personal identity.\n“Awakening” by internationally acclaimed, award-winning fine artist Elena Vladimir Baranoff, is having its world premiere in London in the celebrated exhibition of the Royal Society Of Portrait Painters, under the patronage of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.\nA fine art storyteller, the artist presents her novel style of inspired expression in each and every work of art, from imaginative fine art compositions to portraits, painted in a signature technique of genuine egg tempera.\n\"Awakening\", completed in 2017, is the first self-portrait by the artist, whose artworks have been exhibited at the National Portrait Gallery in London, Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C., in addition to other respected museums and galleries.\nThe portrait was painted during the creation of the artist’s original fine art composition, inspired by Charles Perrault’s fairy tale “Sleeping Beauty”.\nThe premiere exhibition of “Awakening” marks a significant event for the artist and Egg Tempera Movement.\nFounded in 2013 by egg tempera masters Elena Vladimir Baranoff and Anastasia Elena Baranoff, Egg Tempera Movement presents new and original works of fine art created in genuine egg tempera, inspiring interest in this rare and extraordinary centuries old fine art medium.\nThe art movement revives thematic art, conveying ideas through unique visual experience, bringing back neglected beauty and harmony to fine art, in opposition to unaesthetic art flourishing in the world today.\n“Awakening”, painted in hand-made, genuine egg tempera on board, engages the audience in a rare dialogue with the artist.\nA feature of the London cultural calendar, the annual exhibition of the Royal Society of Portrait Painters ran from May 9 through 24, 2019 at Mall Galleries, The Mall, located a few steps from National Portrait Gallery and Buckingham Palace.\nFounded in 1891, the Royal Society of Portrait Painters, a legendary fine art society whose early members included British artists John Everett Millais (Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood), Augustus John (Post-Impressionism Movement), and American artist James McNeill Whistler, aims to \"encourage the appreciation, study and practice of the art of portraiture\".\nGenuine Egg Tempera On Board\n8\" x 10\" inches\nCopyright © Elena Vladimir Baranoff\nRoyal Society Of Portrait Painters\n9 - 24 May, 2019\nMall Galleries, The Mall\nLondon, United Kingdom\nFollow us for the latest news and updates\nCOPYRIGHT © EGG TEMPERA MOVEMENT\nALL IMAGES OF ORIGINAL ARTWORK © COPYRIGHT BY THE ARTISTS\nWEBSITE IMAGE: \"GOLDEN RED APPLE OF ENTICEMENT\" BY ELENA VLADIMIR BARANOFF COPYRIGHT © 2019 | GENUINE EGG TEMPERA ON BOARD\nEgg Tempera Movement Ltd. is registered in England and Wales | Kemp House, 152-160 City Road, London, EC1V 2NX, U.K. | Company Number: 12592392\nPowered by GoDaddy Website Builder", "domain": "painting"}

However, for many artists, their abstract creations are deeply personal and meaningful. They use their intuition and emotions to create pieces that are almost like a diary of their thoughts and feelings. For them, abstract art is a language that speaks volumes about their inner selves. So, the next time you gaze upon an abstract masterpiece, remember that it may hold a profound and intimate meaning for the artist who created it.\nDo abstract art has to have a meaning?\nI create art intuitively. The moment I start to paint feels like I’m in a zone, it is sort of my own way of meditation. I am in my studio every day BUT I cannot push myself daily to paint. I need to feel it. When taht moment comes I act almost like an animal, going crazy with paint, working on several paintings at the time, I’m using so much energy that after couple of hours I feel draint, almost empty. That is the moment when I know I need to stop, fill back up my creativity with new emotions and express it the next moment I’ll feel the calling. Does my art has a meaning? It is filled with tones of feelings, it is my own diary, it my own language. So for me YES IT HAS A MEANING.\nAbstract art is a special kind of art where the artist doesn't try to paint or draw things that look like the real world. Instead, they use colors, shapes, lines, and textures to create something that is unique and creative. Some abstract art can look like a bunch of shapes and colors all mixed together, while others might look like a bunch of lines or patterns.\nNow, you might be wondering, does abstract art have to have a meaning? Well, that's a great question! Sometimes, abstract art is like a secret message from the artist. They might use certain colors or shapes to tell a story or to express a feeling. It's kind of like a puzzle that we have to figure out by looking at the art and trying to understand what the artist is trying to say. Other times, abstract art is just meant to be enjoyed for how it looks. The artist might have created it just because they thought it would be pretty or interesting to look at.\nWhat's really cool about abstract art is that it can mean different things to different people. One person might look at an abstract painting and feel happy or excited, while someone else might feel sad or confused. It's all about how the art makes you feel, and what you see when you look at it.\nSo, whether abstract art has a meaning or not, it's still a really cool and creative way for artists to express themselves. And it's also a great way for us to use our imaginations and come up with our own ideas about what the art means.", "domain": "painting"}

I have been inspired and challenged by a style of painting called Alla Prima. Wet-on-wet, or Alla Prima is a painting technique, used mostly in oil painting, in which layers of wet paint are applied to previously administered layers of wet paint. This technique requires a fast way of working, because the work has to be finished before the first layers have dried. Maybe I am cheating but I have mostly been using acrylics that can be harder to use just because they dry so fast. You can see the process develop as I am working to construct the painting. Keeping in mind that I love mixed media and I’m using a mixture of spray paint, paint markers, and permanent markers. Sometimes I forget to take photos because I am working so fast! I love leaving the brush strokes that give a hard line texture and I’m getting more comfortable being more bold. I will continue experimenting with contemporary art influences to drive me to think differently. Contemporary art is the art of today, produced in the late 20th century or in the 21st century. Contemporary artists work in a globally influenced, culturally diverse, and technologically advancing world. Their art is a dynamic combination of materials, methods, concepts, and subjects that challenge traditional boundaries and defy easy definition. Diverse and eclectic, contemporary art as a whole is distinguished by the very lack of a uniform, organising principle, ideology, or “-ism“.", "domain": "painting"}

Connie is an International award winning artist and her portraits are in numerous private and public collections. She will share some history of the vibrant pastel medium and will talk about the many pastel techniques displayed in the Southeastern Pastel Society exhibition. Attendees will also learn from Connie's many years of teaching and portrait painting experience as they watch her demonstrate and teach about portraiture in pastel.\nNative Atlanta, Georgia Artist Connie Lynn Reilly started at an early age with an innate desire to bring subjects to life with her art. While sitting at her fathers’ side, he patiently guided her and encouraged her artistic talent. From that time on, whenever she looked at the world around her she saw color, design, shapes and forms within the most simple of objects. national and international awards, such as The American Society of Portrait Artist, Southeastern Pastel Society, Atlanta Portrait Society and numerous others.\nConnie has always had a passion for drawing and painting the human form and faces. Her portraits reflect both the outward and inner beauty of her subjects. Her use of color and detail displays emotion through each brushstroke in a face or glimmer in an eye.\nThe desire to perfect her drawing and painting technique required a great deal of independent study to develop her classical, realistic style. Connie paints in several mediums, including pastel, oil, Charcoal, pencil, acrylic and watercolor. Her style can be described as warm, lifelike, and realistic. Her work shows a very high level of understanding of the importance and the use of light in a painting and creatively shows careful posing and positioning of her subjects to create and evoke just the right mood and feeling that she wants to display in her compositions.\nHer portraits and paintings have received national and international recognition and are owned by private, public and museum collections such as the Booth Museum, Tennessee Tech University, Atlanta History Center, John Bell Hood Society, St Joseph’s Hospital, the Royal Palace of Emir Isa bin Salman Al Khalifa of Bahrain, and the Museum of Church History & Art of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.\nSome of Connie’s portraits and historical works have appeared and have been published in national and international publications. Her pastel portrait of “Christine”, a portrait of a young four year old girl, is featured in a North Light book entitled, “ The Best of Portrait Painting.”\nIn the year 2000, she completed commissioned portraits for the Royal Family of Bahrain, the Al Kahlifa family, including a full-length portrait of the Emir’s wife, Her Highness Sheikha Benna, and separate paintings of their two children.\nShe has been a featured guest on local television shows such as the Gwinnett Today Show and WTV21 Talk of the Town as well as the national television cable network Fine Living, on a show entitled “Back to Basics” which was a special program on Connie’s portraiture and portrait process.\nConnie’s list of accomplishments also includes the founding of the Southeastern Pastel Society, of which she is President Emeritus, Master Pastelist and current president. She is also Signature member of the Pastel Society of America and American Women Artists. She is a Juried member of the International Guild of Realism and American Artists Professional League Signature member.\nIncluded in her portfolio of images are those of American History with a special love for the portrayal of the War Between the States/Civil War, Revolutionary War and Western Pioneer Settlement periods. Having been born and raised in the south in a very patriotic family, much of her work depicts southern culture. Her historical work reminds us of those who came before and who made sacrifices to lay the foundations for building this great nation, and helps us to be grateful for their contributions and struggles, “lest we forget” them.\nWidely known as a master instructor in classical representational drawing and painting, Connie continues to teach classes and workshops to beginners, intermediate, advanced and professional artists. Connie has also juried art exhibitions and is available according to her schedule to jury.\nConnie is currently accepting commissioned work and welcomes inquiries.", "domain": "painting"}

They might imagine what the subject has experienced and been part of over time.\nPeople feel different as they look at art, each person’s thoughts and feelings are unique, much like their fingerprints. Many people see the same painting, yet each person has their own story and feelings to go with that moment.\nPainting now into my seventh decade, I continue to learn and teach, fail and succeed. I am sure I will never do the “perfect” painting, but I will always strive to accomplish this goal in every painting it do.\nBruce has been painting since he was only six years old. He is now into his seventh decade and he continues to refine his skills. He has worked in several mediums including sculpture, carving, stain glass, but he focuses his work on painting. He is accomplished in oils, acrylic, however, he has a love of watercolor.\nBruce has exhibited in many shows including the American Watercolor Society NYC 2019, National Watercolor Society Long Beach CA 2011, Arizona Watercolor Society Phoenix AZ, Ohio Watercolor Society Columbus OH, Ohio State Fair, Western Federation of Watercolor Societies, Mesa Arts Center AZ, Glendale AZ Art Exhibit, Hawaii Art Reach Exhibit and many others.\nBruce has also served on the board of many art organizations.\nIn June 2019 and 2016 Bruce was Artist in Residence for the Alaska State Parks Department at the Earnest Gruening State Park in Juneau Alaska. In 2015 he won the American Fisheries Society poster contest for the international annual meeting held in Homer Alaska. Bruce has won many awards for his work and was in the Wildlife Art Magazine in Nov 2007.\nBruce recently completed 14 murals for the Pinal County Family Advocacy Center.\nHe is a member of American Watercolor Society, National Watercolor Society, Kachemak Bay AK Watercolor Society, and Southern Arizona Watercolor Guild and is a signature member of Arizona Watercolor Association.\nBruce is president elect for Arizona Watercolor Association for 2019-20\nBruce has taught many workshops and volunteer teaches for Veterans and survivors of suicide\nBruce studied art at Columbus College of Art and design, Scottsdale Artist School and has taken workshops from more than a dozen nationally recognized artist. He holds a Bachelor of Arts Degree.\nBruce focuses his work on control of light, color, texture and composition to create dramatic images. He has a passion for nature, is an avid outdoorsmen and has traveled globally extensively, even spent 3 weeks in the Arctic Circle.\nBruce loves to teach workshops from beginner through the very skilled painters. He himself continues to study and learn about art from other accomplished artists. Composition, design, colors theory, light and pattern are extensive and he understands that you must continue to grow so that your art can express feeling and emotion to the viewer.\nHis work is sold in several art galleries, on his website and studio. Bruce has lived in many parts of the United States (Alaska, Arizona, Maryland, Ohio, New York, North Carolina, and Texas) and he now makes his home in Arizona and Alaska with his wife Mary.", "domain": "painting"}

Here he has also made effective use of yellow and blue to make even greater emphasis of this composition – dividing the canvas by its horizon near the middle, but off-centre focal point (though his tending to the right where mine was to the left). I find it interesting that he would be returning to a similar strategy for two very different scenes – the rural and the urban, with comparably similar palettes also. The small red tree on the path in the left painting is positioned almost in the same place as the figure in red on the streets in the right one.\nI wonder if there was intention for Van Gogh behind this or if, like in the case of my photos, it was accidental or perhaps even just a result of him having honed his style and preferred colour palette? Were it to be intentional though, it could be seeking to draw comparisons between these different locations – or perhaps serve as a reminder that though they might seem opposing locations, that they share the same viewer (or that we are seeing it through the eyes of the same artist) they have a unity of experience? That no matter where we might find ourselves at a given moment we still experience the same ‘what it’s like to be me’ in that moment? It might be interesting to create a shared colour palette for my three compositions to explore this further.\nI used google image search to find out if the algorithm could find further instances of this composition. However, I found that the image recognition software was more apt to see the subject than compositional comparison – this suggests to me a more sophisticated programme than where it might first have looked at blocks of light/shade/colour (and so composition) but now is identifying objects within those blocks. It was interesting to me to see that the software was distinguishing 3 different subjects in these images: Tree, Apartment and Street, reflecting the change of environment along my walk. The images it saw as being visually similar all fell within these 3 categories, and some do replicate my composition.\nI sought to further abstract this composition, and this deconstruction of three complex images was interesting. I think the cut paper works are more successful – the precision of the shapes achieved and the flattening of the colour fields I think work well to focus the eye on the shapes and their relationships together. A more simplified colour palette also helps here I think, and I like the use of a contrast for the ‘horizon’ line. I wonder if a casual observer would still get a sense of the perspective in the original composition, or if these flattened fields would disrupt that sense of your eyes being drawn in.\nThese recall for me geometric abstractions like those of Malevich and Moholy-Nagy. It might be interesting to explore further whether some of my fields are overlapping of other shapes and to explore more tonal colour palettes.", "domain": "painting"}

March 15, 2012: Marianne Friis Gallery Copenhagen, DK\nMarianne Friis Gallery is proud to present the group exhibition NEW YORK – NEW TENDENCIES. The exhibition shows painting and works on paper by five Brooklyn based artists – both young and well established.\nThe young artist Jane Corrigan (1980) creates figurative paintings with an outset in literary classics, fables and made up scenarios.\nThe works of Corrigan reminds the viewer of another time and the imagination of childhood. This is the first exhibition for Corrigan in Europe.\nDaniel Heidkamp (1980) also paints figuratively, but with an outset in reality. Outdoor scenarios, normally depicted from friends’ estates, and portraiture done in a few hours in his Greenpoint based studio are his main motives. Heidkamp often works with time as a factor trying to capture light and shadow before these changes. Heidkamp is occupied with room, nature and structure and masters light and shadow to perfection.\nIn the exhibition it will also be possible to experience three artists who work with abstraction.\nMatt Mignanelli (1983) explores the relation between structure and nature. Carefully painted by free hand these works remind of computer games and graphic computer generated images. Mignanelli studied at the Rhode Island School of Design, Providence, and he can be seen painting in the video ”Declare Independence”, by Bjørk, directed by Michel Gondry.\nRyan Wallace (1977) also explores surface, texture and nuances. Wallace’s works are precisely arranged, but yet random implications and controlled accidents. His works are visual solutions to systemic considerations. He studied at the Rhode Island School of Design, and received the Pollock Krasner Foundation Grant last year.\nLast but not least, with a starting point in pop culture, Michael Bevilacqua (1966) creates self-referential works. Rock and punk, graffiti and DIY culture are sources of inspiration to Bevilacqua. He incorporates elements, be it song lyrics, names of bands (like Joy Division that reappears in several of his paintings) or graffiti paint sprayed upon layers of oil painting. To Bevilacqua it is the process and development of his oeuvre that is the number one priority.\nPop culture remains the point of departure but the expressions change. In 2005 Louisiana showed Michael Bevilacqua as the first in their new series ”Louisiana Contemporary”.\nFor further information or press photos please contact: email@example.com", "domain": "painting"}

In some cases, they are having to do more with less.\nIntegrating Paint Spray Robot into your finishing operation can free up floor space, increase productivity and improve finish quality — while workers can be transitioned into more beneficial roles. In the long run, a painting robot can be cheaper, more accurate and more reliable than a manual painter, with the ability to essentially work around the clock.\nHere are five things you need to know before adding a painting robot to your industrial or wood paint booth:\n1. Paint Spray Robot Provide Flexible Mounting Options in Spray Booths\nThere are three different ways to mount Paint Spray Robot in a spray booth — on the floor, on a wall or on the ceiling.\nFloor-mounted Paint Spray Robot consume the most space, yet integrating them into a spray booth is less complicated than integrating wall-mounted or ceiling-mounted robots. To accommodate a wall-mounted painting robot, a mounting position must be designed in the wall of a paint booth, then a column can be installed on the outside with a vertical base plate. Similarly, a hole is designed in the ceiling of a spray booth for a ceiling-mounted painting robot, which is bolted to overhead beams.\nFor businesses finishing large products, a wall-mounted or ceiling-mounted painting robot may be a better option than a floor-mounted robot because of the space required. If there are no space restrictions, floor-mounted Paint Spray Robot are easiest to integrate into a finishing operation, as holes do not need to be cut in the wall or ceiling of the paint booth.\n\"The paint booth's walls or ceiling must be designed to accommodate Paint Spray Robot,\" said Mark Freels, a Territory Manager for Global Finishing Solutions (GFS). \"The booth becomes a much different structure when you bolt a painting robot to it. There are a lot of dynamic forces at play.\"\nPaint Spray Robot\n2. Volume of Work Dictates How Paint Spray Robot Function in Spray Booths\nThe function of Paint Spray Robot in spray booths varies with the application. For low-production, automated batch process applications, a worker stands at the front of the spray booth, typically loading and unloading parts off a turntable while the painting robot applies material to parts inside the booth. Another configuration has parts shuttled across the spray booth, with the worker loading parts, then unloading them after they are sprayed by the painting robot.\nIn high-production, continuous process applications, large products, such as car bodies, move through paint booths, with Paint Spray Robot spraying from both sides of the vehicle. Or small parts hang from a conveyor, as an overhead monorail carries parts in front of the painting robot, which sprays toward the part and the filtered exhaust chamber behind it.\n3. Paint Spray Robot Paired with Recirculating Spray Booths Can Save Energy\nBy recirculating up to 90 percent of the exhausted air, recirculating paint booths use significantly less energy than traditional industrial paint booths. Not only is energy usage greatly reduced, but capital expenses are also decreased, as the air handling and abatement equipment are reduced in size.\nSince the exhausted air is recirculated back into the paint booth during spray mode, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can be reintroduced into the booth, which are hazardous for the painter. As a result, the painter often is required to use a high level of personal protective equipment (PPE), whereas Paint Spray Robot are immune to the health hazards that may be detrimental to human painters.\n\"You drop a painting robot in a recirculating spray booth, and it doesn't care about VOCs in the booth. You just have to stay below the maximum operating temperature of the robot, which is approximately 115 degrees Fahrenheit,\" Freels said. \"So now you are heating significantly less air with a recirculating paint booth — an approximately 40 percent decrease in conditioned process air.\"\n4. Cascading Cost Savings with Paint Spray Robot\nRobots enable users to improve quality and throughput, while simultaneously reducing capital and operational costs. Robot technology allows movement of applicators (tip speed) well above any manufacturer's maximum tip speed. The high speed/payload arms are used to increase throughput by allowing for heavier applicator/multiple applicator processes that can apply more paint than a manual painter in the same operating space. High arm speeds also equate to faster reposition time to the next part, equating to more spray time.\nThe advantage of a painting robot is that it paints exactly the same over and over again, whereas humans are prone to painting thicker or thinner the longer they spray in a single shift. The consistency of Paint Spray Robot results in cascading cost savings — a decrease in rework and tighter film build tolerance, leading to less paint and filter usage, which equates to smaller exhaust (conditioned air).\nPaint Spray Robot can be programmed to apply a very specific amount of low observable coating to the product, increasing efficiency and reducing waste in the paint process.\nPaint Spray Robot\n5. Paint Spray Robot Are Ideal for Hard-to-Reach Spots\nPaint Spray Robot are ideal for finishing objects that are difficult to paint, as they can more easily access hard-to-reach spots. They are especially beneficial when painting highly contoured surfaces, such as on wood components, which can be extremely challenging to paint manually.\nFor the precise application of paint on all areas of the component with a painting robot, the component must be stationary and placed in the same position every time.\n\"Conveyors with single-point hanger hooks to present parts to the robot are not recommended for robotic paint application,\" Freels said. \"Customers must have repeatable part presentation, with parts typically conveyed on a metal frame or two-point hook connection. A repeatable position conveyance is recommended as part of a painting robot system.\"\nIntegrating a painting robot should be a consideration early in the paint booth design process, since booths built to house robots are custom. It is best to work with a trusted paint booth manufacturer that is experienced at integrating robotics, such as GFS.\nLike computers and TVs, Paint Spray Robot continue to become more sophisticated, while also becoming more economical. The get-in-the-door price for a painting robot is about $60,000. It is often an investment worth making for industrial manufacturers and wood finishers looking to streamline their operations, establish more consistency in their finish quality and increase their energy savings.\nTo know more about this Paint Spray Robot, Contact us Now!\nPost time: Jan-12-2022", "domain": "painting"}

Thousands of dollars are spent each year disposing of latex paint as hazardous waste, an unnecessary procedure for the product.\n\"Dry it up, use it up, or pass it on!\" says Operations Manager Jim Zygar of the Waste and Recovery Center. He recommends the following actions to take with unwanted latex paint:\n--If the can is 1/4 full or less, simply remove the lid and place the can in a safe, well-ventilated area. The latex paint will dry in a few days and then you can place the container in the trash after checking the paint's thickness with a stick.\n--If the can is more than 1/4 full, use mulch, kitty litter, sand or shredded paper to solidify the paint. Just mix it in with the paint, or mix the paint with a paint solidifier, available at some hardware and paint stores. Once the paint has a tacky, oatmeal-like consistency and will not spill out, place in the trash.\n--Use it up. Small amounts can be mixed with other colors and used as a primer.\n--Pass it on. Donate unopened cans of paints. Many schools, theaters and community groups accept unopened cans of paint, especially white. Also check your paint store's policy on returning unopened cans of paint.\nZygar cautions that latex paints manufactured before 1989 might contain lead or mercury. \"Please bring old latex paint to the HazoHouse for safe disposal.\"\nLocated at the Waste and Recovery Center at 2418 Hogum Bay Road, HazoHouse accepts hazardous household items such as solvents, cleaning supplies, fluorescent light tubes, pesticides and other products for safe disposal and recycling.\nThe service is free to residents. A complete list of accepted materials and other information is available at www.co.thurston.wa.us/solidwaste\nor at 867-2491.\nHazoHouse hours are Friday through Tuesday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. ###", "domain": "painting"}

No matter what your wall colours are, you can use the trim to either coordinate the look or to make a contrast with it. This is one of the most remarkable ways you can use all of your design elements within your home to give it a cohesive look.\nToday, we will talk about everything you need to know when choosing the best paint colour for your trim. It is essential to understand colour theory, how different colour combinations work well, and how they might be able to complement the rest of your home. With our advice, you can make the most out of your new paint job.\nTrim colours and combinations\nOne of the best ways to choose a trim colour is to choose one that makes the whole room more aesthetically appealing. Trim is usually an accent to the overall room design, and it shouldn’t dominate the existing colours found in the room. The correct trim colour will add style and elegance to the interior walls of your home and help bring everything to life.\nThe colour of your trim can work as a complementary or contrasting colour for the existing interior walls. Because the trim helps give a room a sense of harmony and relates to the colours of the wall, many people choose a complementary colour which is lighter or slightly darker shades of white, cream, natural wood or stain. Or even black sometimes. This helps bring together the entire space in a cohesive way.\nYou probably noticed that many people use white or stained wood trim to complement their walls. These trim colours will typically fall into the same spectrum of light and dark. Others find that a contrasting colour trim works well and helps emphasize the colour of the interior wall.\nDarker trim colours, such as black, are often used to call attention to or accent a particular feature of a room, windows and doors. Darker trim colours can help make some aspects of a room stand apart. Trimming it in black or other darker colours is an option that has recently gained popularity.\nIf the walls in your house are a bold, dominant colour, then using a white or lighter coloured trim would be the best option since white comes in many different shades. These can serve as either complementary or contrasting colours to existing wall colours.\nWhat type of paint should you use?\nAfter picking the colour for your trim, the next step is to select a type of paint to use. Semi-gloss paint would be the best option for many different reasons. It is one of the most durable types of paint, and they are straightforward when it comes to cleaning and maintenance. This durability and easy cleaning make semi-gloss paint the best for high-touch areas such as kitchens and living rooms.\nSemi-gloss paint is also reflective, meaning it will use the natural light found in the room to help illuminate the shadows. If you want to ensure that your trim colour stands out, purchasing this type of paint for its reflective properties will help you achieve this upgraded aesthetic.", "domain": "painting"}

Rhonda Whitehead belongs to the hitter group. Although from her home in Swains Lane, Highgate, large expanses of water might not be immediately accessible, it has always been an important part of her creative vocabulary.\nWhich highlights another paradox. She was born in one of the hottest, driest continents on earth: Australia. These apparent contradictions are all to be found in her work which is currently on show at Highgate Fine Art and the Highgate Gallery in Earth, Rock. Water.\nHer Water series of paintings springs from her time spent in the Waveney Valley in Norfolk, where she may be seen examining pieces of algae drifting along in the water. Back at her studio in Highgate she transforms these tiny portions of the natural landscape into very large paintings.\nRock, Australia Series\nAlthough entirely abstract, her water paintings have the feeling of an image seen under a microscope. Flattened onto the surface of the canvas, she captures well the fleeting second when the light hits some submerged object. Whether this is the algae of marshy Norfolk, or the brightly colored coral of Australia.\nIt is this sense of vast skies and huge landscapes seen at close range that unites the work. This longing took her on an extended trip to Australia in 1996, where she became fascinated by Ayer’s Rock.\nThe Ayer’s Rock paintings vary in size from small squares to 5 x 4ft works. The tiny images manage to convey the huge mysterious rock at the dead center of Australia. The fissures and stains of the ancient geological formations she paints in series of tiny marks, or slanting, strata-like strokes, as the deep reds of the rocks are set against the eyeball-searing blue of the sky.", "domain": "painting"}

He is drawn to a consideration of how we mark time in the rhythms of daily rural life and how the cyclical aspect of nature holds a quality of the eternal. He is also drawn by the relationship that exists between the landscape, the ocean and the people.

The Sistine Chapel\nDid you know the size of the Sistine Chapel is based on the dimensions of the Temple of Solomon, as given in the Old Testament? It measures 134 feet long, 44 feet wide and 67 feet tall. During the reign of Pope Sixtus IV, a team of Renaissance painters that included Sandro Botticelli, Pietro Perugino, Pinturicchio, Domenico Ghirlandaio and Cosimo Roselli, created a series of frescos depicting the Life of Moses and the Life of Christ, offset by papal portraits above and trompe l’oeil drapery below. These paintings were completed in 1482 and on August 15, 1483, Pope Sixtus IV celebrated the first Mass in the Sistine Chapel for the Feast of the Assumption.\nIt wasn’t until 25 years later that Michelangelo began to repaint the ceiling. It was originally painted as golden stars on a blue sky. The number of square feet in the Sistine Chapel painted by Michelangelo amounted to 5,800. It took him four years to paint the ceiling (beginning in 1508). In 1980, restoration began on the ceiling, which took 12 years to complete.\nIn 1515, Raphael was commissioned by Pope Leo X to design a series of ten tapestries to hang around the lower tier of the walls. The tapestries depict events from the Life of St. Peter and the Life of St. Paul, the founders of the Christian Church in Rome, as described in the Gospels and the Acts of the Apostles. Work began in mid-1515. Due to their large size, the manufacture of the hangings was carried out in Brussels and took four years to complete. Raphael’s tapestries were looted during the Sack of Rome in 1527.\nAlthough best known for the ceiling of the chapel, Michelangelo also painted The Last Judgment between 1535 and 1541. The work was designed on a grand scale and spans the entire wall behind the altar of the Sistine Chapel. The painting depicts the second coming of Christ on the Day of Judgment as described in the Revelation of John, Chapter 20.", "domain": "painting"}

Perhaps it is the vibrant colours that Hockney sees in everyday scenes, or perhaps it is the scale of the works, which adorn entire walls of the Royal Academy. Either way, and if it hadn’t already, the nation has now fallen for Hockney completely. His use of British scenes instills a great sense of national pride, and the use of an iPad and cameras in his work also demonstrates a willingness to merge old techniques with modern methods to great effect.\nWhile much of the exhibition focuses on Hockney’s newer works, completed after 2004 and in some cases only recently finished for this particular show, there are some outstanding first pieces from Hockney’s younger days. Among these, Bolton Junction (1956- shown below) is particularly notable as it shows Hockney’s early preoccupations with his homeland, trees, and a local setting. Although he may not have always portrayed this inspiration, it had clearly entered his psyche: later in the 1990s, while Hockney was living in New York, he painted several scenes of the Yorkshire countryside recalled from drives he took to visit a sick friend from memory. Despite not being painted from living scenes, North Yorkshire (1997) and The Road across the Wolds (1997- shown below) lovingly recall the rolling English hills, and the thick spreads of oil across the canvases are illustrative of Hockney’s clear skill in this medium.\nHowever, Hockney did return in time to paint his favourite subject from observation. One room is dedicated to watercolours and oils of the paths, roads, hills and trees of unspoilt Yorkshire. In an interesting juxtaposition, we are invited to compare these techniques employed by Hockney: whilst the oils are bold and warm, his watercolours offer a level of detail and deep tonal range.\nThe exhibition moves on to present the idea of the tunnel being a key motif in Hockney’s work, and indeed, in a series of paintings of a woodland tree ‘tunnel’ through different seasons, it is evident why. The tunnel form provides Hockney with numerous trees to portray, their branches and leaves in summer versus winter, and the end of the tunnel leading out onto a beautiful countryside scene. Other recurring images include scenes from Woldgate Woods, hawthorn bushes in full blossom (indeed these paintings of vivid colour and strange thick clusters of blossom look almost otherworldly) and felled timber. Felled trees on Woldgate (2008- shown below) is painted across two canvases, and is remarkable due to Hockney’s colour choice for translating a woodland scene: pink is the winding path through the blue-trunked trees, and in the centre of the foreground a purple tree stump stands strangely tall. Also of note are several outstanding charcoal drawings made as preliminary sketches, which clearly show Hockney’s superb eye for observation.\nAt this point, the exhibition boldly presents an entire room under the title of The Arrival of Spring in Woldgate, East Yorkshire in 2011 (twenty eleven) (shown below) featuring 52 works, some in oil and others lifted from iPad sketches made by the artist. It is these works that have sparked the most debate: is it right for Hockney to use an iPad? What value does it add or take away from his work? These questions require a personal response, and whilst initially I judged some of the pieces, when I saw the iPads themselves it became apparent that Hockney would have applied the same level of observation and execution in these works as his more traditional paintings require.\nHockney’s film montage also portrays a preoccupation to embrace modernity and apply it to his art. Here, several cameras capture the same scenes on several screens (a country lane, Hockney’s own studio, and a dance class complete with pianist in the right hand corner) but from a slightly different vantage point and view. Thus the final image is slightly broken, with elements both missing and repeated, yet totally watchable, and at times very amusing.\nA final mention must go to Hockney’s recent work inspired by Claude Lorrain’s Sermon on the Mount (1656). Hockney saw Lorrain’s masterpiece in the Frick Collection, New York, and decided to make a series of his own interpretations related to the scene. The result is fascinating as Hockney experiments with a direct copy, to more abstract forms and sharp lines and shapes.\nA Bigger Picture is worth all the hype, and it was a pleasure to take in Hockney’s scenes despite the crowds.\nDavid Hockney RA: A Bigger Picture is now showing at the Royal Academy, London until 9th April 2012.", "domain": "painting"}
