Art. Abstract Art And Avant-gardism.

Abstractionism gave way to the avant-gardism. Bright surge in this direction of a modernism has been in the end of sixtieth years. Avant-gardism is in the base of ideas of a counterculture of the hippie, who make the protest against everything, the protest for the sake of the protest. The avant-gardism is a substitute of art to which the beauty, concept fine, harmony is alien. Representatives of avant-gardism create between art and not-art.

As a result of it appear such kinds of art:

- Op art (optical art) – is ornamental-geometrical compositions;

- Spatial art;

- Earthen art;

- Art of new figurative sense;

- Pop art (popular art).

From these kinds of avant-gardism, the most known is popular art, or pop art. The artists working in this style use real subjects in the creativity: advertising, a photo, any other images, which have been pulled out from environment natural to it, and create from them any combinations, trying to find interrelation, or without any interrelation. As a result there is a so-called artefact (it is artificial grouped composition, a design), instead of a work of art. This composition should cause certain associations, emotional experience, arising besides art impression.

The Pop art has developed as original reaction to the abstractionism phenomenon, having opposed its extreme abstractness. The bright representative of pop art is R. Rauschenberg, the American artist.

The Pop art was showed as aggression to mass culture, having transformed art into a show, reflecting irreconcilability to the present.

From the middle of XIX century painting, the drawing, a sculpture address to that is inaccessible to the direct image. Searches of new graphic means, ways of the typification, the raised expression, the universal symbols, the compressed plastic formulas are more and more intensively developed. On the one hand, it is directed on display of private world of the person – emotional, psychological conditions; on other – on strengthening of corporal, material self-descriptiveness, on updating of vision of the subject world. Opening of the primitive and then traditional art resolutely changes representation about value of conditional forms in the fine arts.

Creativity – the most intimate, authentic, if it is possible to say so, way of self-affirmation in which the person is in great need. This requirement can be shown directly, about what testifies repeatedly increasing severe ways of the collective and individual statement of the exclusiveness.

Abstract art is the most accessible and noble way to imprint personal life, and maybe, in the most adequate shape – like a facsimile print. At the same time it is the direct realization of freedom. It is impossible to hate art and it is just possible to enjoy, adore it and get pleasure from it.

Abstractionism Is Always Very Popular Among Fans Of Art.

Abstractionism (from Latin. abstractus – distracted) – rather wide direction in art of XX century, arisen in the beginning of 1910 in the several countries of Europe and it used exclusively formal elements – a line, a color stain, an abstract configuration – for creation of products. Founders of abstractionism – Russian artists Wassily Kandinsky and Kazimir Malevich, Dutch Piet Mondrian, Frenchman Rober Delon and a Czech of Frantishek Kupka – in the creativity based, as a rule, on the mystical ideas taken from theosophic doctrine. The method of abstract constructions is based on the aspiration to express internal laws symbolically and intuitively comprehended to the essence, hidden for the occurring phenomena of the visible world. Thus backbone forms were interpreted by Kandinsky, Malevich and Mondrian as the certain picturesque signs allocated with the initial spiritual maintenance, and the plastic formulas organized from such signs, – as relations between universe elements. Created abstract picturesque constructions were thought and as projections of structures of a space world order, and as projects of an ideal peace arrangement social, and as basic schemes of the organization of the spatial and subject environment surrounding the person.

From the moment of abstractionism occurrence it were accurately defined two directions in it: the geometrical abstraction based mainly on accurately outlined configurations (Malevich, Mondrian), and lyrical abstraction in which the composition is organized from freely current forms (Kandinsky). If the symbolics of geometrical abstractionism urged to reflect certain steady substantive conditions, so abstraction of Kandinsky and his followers, filled with pulsing forms, difficult rhythms and flickering color, concentrate attention on dynamics of process. After the Second World War aesthetic concepts of abstractionism lose the metaphysical symbolics: the abstract form corresponds now only with displays of the nature and the social world or is considered as fixing of mental conditions of the artist. Last circumstance has transformed concept “abstractionism” into an ordinary symbol of formalism in various spheres of art.

The abstractionism – the extreme form of a modernism, has arisen as a challenge to society and as consecutive destruction of the real image reflecting the world by habitual means. It is possible to tell that the abstractionism has arisen on fragments of cubism, futurism and some other modernist currents reached the decline. W. Kandinsky, K. Malevich, P. Klee, V. Tatlin, M. Larionov, R. Delon, P. Mondrian, etc. were at the beginnings of abstractionism.

They, confirming value subconscious, considered creative process as immersing in the world of intuitive movements of soul, automatic transfer of the sensations. They recognized that connection of art with forms of a life already has settled and the person is not capable to realize the world, and furthermore is not capable to embody it in plastic images owing to variety of the new world. Means of display of a vague subconscious image can be different: from classical paints and a canvas to a stone, a wire, dust, pipes, etc. The main thing in abstractionism – a combination of colors, lines, stains, the strokes that have lost contact with a natural and social reality. This is pointless and shapeless art.

Early (1920 – 1930) abstractionism has received a wide spreading in architecture and an applied art.

Late (post-war years) abstractionism is presented in three streams:

1) Expressional painting and a drawing (a free, spontaneous combination of lines and stains);

2) Surrealism (gravitation to mysteriousness, magic, dreadful psychological visions, crazy associations, absurd connection of various subjects and images), which is most full presented in creativity of S. Dali and R. Mogritt;

3) Abstract-geometric art (just decorative decisions, an abstract sculpture from various kinds of metal with application of modern means of its processing). The abstractionism has received the fullest development in the USA.

Frame Has Great Importance For Picture.

Great artists of different epochs not only paid huge significance to a correct choice of a frame for the pictures – they did sketches of elements of a baguette or even produced it. Leonardo da Vinci, for example, considered that “the frame creates a special aura round a picture, it should not be just a frame – it should be with it as a unit”. Probably, it is necessary to listen to great Leonardo’s opinion and to approach to a choice of a frame with all gravity. It is unimportant what you wish to frame, it is important, how to make it. Frankly speaking, it is a difficult problem. On the one hand, the frame should underline originality and individuality of a work of art, and with other – to be the high-grade element of a decor consolidating with the image and that interior in which it is placed.

It is possible to insert in a frame almost everything: a picturesque cloth, drawing in a coal, an ancient engraving, an embroidery, a mirror, historical documents and letters, antiquarian jewelry ornaments, monetary denominations and coins…

The choice of a baguette is very responsible task. Therefore, there is a sense to bring pictures and posters, which you intend to frame, in a workshop: it will be possible to apply samples of a baguette and passe-partout to images and to see how they are combined. It can be done only in the event that it is a question of not very valuable products. Safety of a picture is one of main problems of the owner. Certainly, it is not desirable to carry it out on street unpacked. The dense paper, packing cardboard and a polyethylene foil will help you to save your picture outside. It is difficult enough to restore the damaged canvas independently. And the graphic products executed on a paper, are sensitive to moisture, sunlight, an urban dust. It can ruin all both modern product, and, especially, antiquarian work.

So that it is better to invite experts to home, especially if you have either valuable, or the big picture, or simply do not risk to carry it in a workshop and back. Many workshops grants complete service – from coming of employees to the house for measurement and delivery of a finished product to installation of the picture on a wall.

Depending on what method was used to create the work of art, and also from its sizes, color, a theme and other data are chosen the style of a frame, color, a profile, an ornament and baguette height. It doesn’t matter what you have preferred – intricate motives in style of an epoch of baroque or a strict aluminum framework, – mentally place it in the interior not to be surprised to result. If you are hindered with a choice, naturally enough to ask for advice of employees of a workshop – in most cases, there work people with an art education.

Painting In The Interior. Decorate Your House!

Pictures in our apartment are not just one more decoration of walls, or a method to close a hole. The picture is like a wall tsarina, a joy for eyes and an indicator of your taste and style. If doesn’t mean if you have works of Rembrandt or Picasso, you should know how to place them correctly. Let’s find out basic rules about where and how it is necessary to hang up pictures.

In small rooms with low ceilings it is not necessary to hang up big pictures, because it is possible to estimate their color and composition on dignity only from distance of two-three meters. If you have some pictures, you can place them horizontally in one or two rows, leveling them according to a frame bottom edge or to the center. In the big room hang them out in any way.

The placing of pictures also depends on their sizes. Big, bright pictures are better to hang up in the eyes level. And small, with less expressive composition should be lower.

If it was considered earlier that the picture composition should correspond to a room functional purpose (in a drawing room – a landscape; in a nursery – a picture with fantastic topic), now designers do not stress on it. The main thing – that pictures caused emotions, conformable to character and a way of life of the owner. It is better to remove pictures, which cause feeling of discomfort, despite their art value.

If the room is oversaturated with furniture, it will be difficult to find place for pictures.

It is preferable to place pictures on walls with one-color wall-paper. Large and bright patterns are incompatible with pictures.

Illumination of pictures should be as much as possible approached to the natural.

How is to hang up pictures correctly?

- If you are going to place some pictures, at first cut out rectangles from a paper and fix them to walls pins. After you are definitively advanced with a choice, make marks in a wall.

- Fix a picture so that the top part has been slightly inclined forward. Then it will be better to look at the cloth.

- The picture will hang straight if instead of one fastening you use two (a cord it is possible to replace with a metal wire).

- On ladders and in small rooms it is possible to hang up a landscape with image of deep water. It will visually make a room more spacious.

- The grey inexpressive room will be recovered by a bright picture, which furthermore can become the composition center.

- Before to hang up a portrait (especially in a bedroom), think, whether it will irritate you.

- To avoid effect of a mirror, use special glass for a picture.

Frame.

Frame for a picture – as if clothes for the person. It should correspond to the size, color of a picture and style of a room. The cloths written in oil are not placed under glass. For modern pictures will be good smooth color frames, and for ancient – carved gilt. Graphic arts are not inserted into wide bronze frames, and usually place on passe-partout. Color of the passe-partout should be in harmony with color of a picture and a frame.

Take good care of your pictures.

Wipe pictures with a pure flannel, clean with a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush or sweep away a dust with a special whisk. Do not forget to do it from a backside also. The grown dull gilt frames will begin to shine as new if to wipe them with flannel moistened in a weak spirit solution.

Format Of Art Works In Painting.

The most widespread format for a picture is quadrangular, and the pure square meets less often, than a quadrangle, more or less extended upwards or in breadth. Some epoch appreciate a round format (tondo) or an oval. The format history is not written yet; there are only the incidental researches concerning separate epoch and artists. From them undoubtedly follows that the choice of a format hasn’t casual character, that the format usually occurs from deep, fundamental connection as with the contents of a work of art, with its emotional tone, and with a picture composition that in it the individual temperament of the artist, and it is equally brightly reflected also taste of the whole epoch.

The horizontal, extended format, in general, is unconditionally more suitable for a narrative composition, for consecutive expansion of movement by the spectator. Therefore to such format willingly address the artists, who have been adjusted epically, aspiring to an active composition, to action, – for example the Italian painters of XIV and the first half of XV centuries (especially in fresco compositions). On the contrary, the format square or such in which the height prevails over width a little, as though stops at once dynamics of action and gives to composition a character of solemn representation – this kind of a format preferred for the altar pictures of the master of the High Renaissance (“the Sistine Madonna”). In turn, at significant prevalence of height over width, the composition again acquires dynamics, strong draught, but this time upwards or downwards; such narrow format was especially to liking to aristocratic, decorative artists or artists, who were adjusted mystically (mannerists, Greco), aspiring to embody certain emotions, moods.

Certainly, immutable laws of a format are not present, but there are some tendencies, format language.

It is characteristic that a square and tondo represent the most rare, most exclusive kinds of a format, only very much few periods and the directions inclined in this or that form to classical tendencies, cultivated these kinds of a format willingly. During the Renaissance epoch, for example, the round format can be met almost only in Florence and in Rome whereas the Venetian painters concerned it as negatively, as well as a square. As ideas of the Renaissance lose the popularity, and tondo gives way to a new kind of a format – to an oval, from the end of XVI and to the middle of the eighteenth century the oval is one of the most favorite formats of the European painting. It is quite clear. For yearning for dynamics baroque artists tondo should seem too motionless, as abstract-mathematical format. An oval is dual. It has not only softer bend of a contour, but also more flexible, more changeable rhythm of the silhouette. How much tondo personifies rest and concentration, so an oval is changeable and complete of aspiration. Free from compasses guardianship, the oval can already be freer, etc. The artist can give to an oval absolutely personal shade. In this direction from some rigidity to soft fluctuation the oval silhouette also develops in an epoch of baroque and rococo, according to all those stages of the general evolution of style, which can be traced, for example, in the field of drawing and color.

Thus, we have the right to conclude that the format history to a certain extent reflects the general changes occurring in evolution of styles.

At last, the format is in direct dependence on the picturesque engineering. The more widely, more freely dab of the artist, he has bigger aspiration to a large format; the painters working in thin brushes, prefer usually small format.

Different Kinds Of Picture Frames.

Frame development is connected with occurrence of an easel painting – with the Middle Ages, with late Gothic. During an epoch of late Gothic and the early Renaissance, the frame acted as the architectural construction connected with architecture of church and proceeding in architecture of a picture. Ordinary, not the architectural frame, consisting from laths, boards and profiles, appears from the middle of the fifteenth century. During all epoch (especially in baroque) prevailed the gilt frame – magnificent (decorated with a vegetative ornament, images of fruit, the bowls, at first cut out of a tree, then cast of plaster), neutral, softly, but resolutely delimiting a picture from an environment. In bourgeois Holland of the seventeenth century dominated dark (black, brown) frame with simple profiles, natural to dark and warm pictures on tone. Together with impressionists there is a white frame, especially suitable for bright, florid painting.

Old masters were very attentive to a frame, considered its effect in the course of work, and sometimes even painted in a ready frame, considering certain tone and a decorative rhythm of a frame. Therefore, compositions of old masters often very much attract the attention in initial frames. So, for example, the well-known picture of Correggio “The Night” (now it is in Dresden) makes much stronger impression if to insert it into that frame, in which it has been originally planned by the master (a frame remained in church of St. Prosper in Reggio): the massive, plastic frame underlines depth and dynamics, as though extends a picture; symmetric character of a frame with the allocated central axis underlines asymmetry, contingency of a composition.

Connection between a picture and a frame in Italian, especially Venetian, Renaissance painting is often underlined still by accord of the architecture represented in a picture, with tectonics of a frame, which as though continue one other, for example arcual frame end finds an echo in the arch or a dome of the represented architecture, and thus there is an extreme unity and isolation of impression. At the painters of the eighteenth century inclined to extreme optical illusion, this organic merge of a picture and a frame comes, however, so far that instead of a real frame the picture appears inserted in an illusory, imaginary frame. On the contrary, painters of an epoch of romanticism for achievement of the same purpose often resorted to other method, continuing the image, moving it on a frame in symbolically ornamental images (Runge, Klinger). So there was the mixture of borders leading to loss of a distance with the validity, meanwhile, as the frame should have other validity, than a picture. Supervision over frames of old masters allow to establish one more principle – conformity between a profile and width of a frame and the size of a picture: so, the Dutch painters were in the habit to insert the small pictures into large frames with deep, vertical profiling, which as though attracts a look to the center of a picture and isolates it from any effect of an environment.

Choose correct frame for your art works and it will make them even more expressive.

Color Is Very Important In Painting.

The most important element of color is the paint. There are three qualitative features in paints. First of all, its color – dark blue, green, etc. Further – the lightness of paint. Paint can be made lighter and darker, without changing of its specific character: light green and dark green are shades of the same green paint, but with different degree of the lightness. Thirdly, at last, is intensity of paint. It is possible to take away its colorful content, force of its color until it, remaining of same color of a paint, will not become absolutely grey; or, on the contrary, without changing of its lightness, to add a colorful pigment to it more and more.

Further very important distinction between paints is advanced by concept of warm and cold tones. Warm name such tone, which is closer to yellow, red, ardent; they are warm and please, excite you. Cold tones, which are closer to dark blue and green, which are connected in our imagination with water and the sky, calm you down and make you sad. Warm colors physiologically excite you stronger, than cold, therefore they as though act forward, seem closer than the cold. Therefore, warm colors are called as positive, cold – neutral, or negative. Among old masters admirers of warm colors were Titian, Rubens, and Rembrandt; of cold are Botticelli, Greco, Murillo and others.

Each tone in a picture is connected with an environment, depending on it becomes colder, lighter or darker; next tone can support or weaken it. The red roof seems absolutely other at the pure blue sky or at cloudy. Besides, each tone varies depending on a basis, a ground, an underpainting. The painter aspires to see all tone of the picture at once to advance their mutual relations. On the one hand, he observes the tone with especial attention, seeming identical or related on degree of the lightness (for example, tone of the white house or a white cloud). Distinctions of this type painters name values. On the other hand, the artist is interested in relations of paints among themselves on degree of their warmth or coldness. At these steps and relations are built searches of the general tonality dominating in the whole picture. Thus it is necessary to discriminate tone and a local paint. Local paints are those generally pure, not mixed, not refracted, which are connected with certain subjects in our imagination such as the green grass, a red raincoat, which both in a shade, and on light remains red, only darker or lighter. So, the Italian and Netherlands painters of XV century perceived the world. Tones, on the contrary, we name those changes, which occur to paints under the influence of light, air, reflexes, association with other paints; when the same local paint acquires absolutely various tone in a shade and on light. The feeling of tone coloring starts to develop in XVI century, reaches the flowering during a baroque epoch, becomes especially intensified at impressionists.

All of them differ both on appearance, and on terms and the manufacturing price. The most popular are portraits in oil, however it is not correct to speak that they better, than others, this is matter already of preferences of the concrete person.

Also it is accepted to divide portraits on female, man’s, children’s, family and wedding. The special place takes a smart portrait. It represents the image of the person on any architectural background, on the horse, in a magnificent interior. As a rule, it creates by a painting of the person in a reproduction of some known picture of the past. In a smart portrait the person can appear in a role of the king or the commander, the fine lady of the Middle Ages or the princess.

The tradition of a family portrait has very deep roots. Last centuries representatives of all notable families had galleries with portraits of outstanding representatives of the family. Family portrait also can be a portrait on which there are all members of the family. Such portrait, undoubtedly, will make your house cosier and will remind of the best moments in a life of your family.

If you do not have photo with all members of the family, whom you wish to see on a portrait, there is nothing terrible. The artist will create for you a family portrait from several different photos.

I would like to say some words about children’s portrait. Children – life flowers. They are fine at any age. But you will not have time to look back, and the kid has already gone to school, and then and in institute. Therefore parents aspire to imprint in memory all stages of the child. First of all for this purpose serves the photo. But imagine that in your room is the portrait of your kid and even after many years, this portrait will bring pleasure to you, giving memoirs on the first years of a life of your child.

Today almost everybody can order the portrait. Such original gift as a portrait will bring the big pleasure to any person and will decorate his house for a long time.

The Concept And History Of Romanticism.

Romanticism (fr. romantisme from an armour; romanum Roman from Roma — Rome) — one of two, along with Classicism, basic tendencies of art thinking. However, it has historically developed that this word began to name a wide range of the most different phenomena. In the end of eighteenth century as a romantic named all unusual, fantastic, everything what occurs “as in novels”. The romantic, raised poetry was considered then is unique a worthy art form. But there was also other interpretation of the term: romantic is an art of the Romance people, mainly medieval, which was opposed to classical, antique. The French word “roman” originally meant the literary works written not in classical Latin, and on vulgar, national adverbs. Therefore as romantic art at first understood Middle Ages art, including the Renaissance, which was not allocated during a special epoch. The modern name “novel” — a drama for reading, more often a love story, the composition and which style deviate classical rules.

Romanticism comprehension is connected with an origin of words “novel”, “romance” as properties of human soul. The concept of romance is wider than romanticism. Romantic feelings, dreams, a romantic act is always something ennobled, noble, disinterested, not connected with any calculation and consequently enthusiastic, torn off from a reality and directed to a certain foggy, unrealizable ideal.

Many consider that the Romanticism as an art direction was issued for the first time in English painting in the middle of eighteenth century partly under the influence of an aesthetics of Classicism and landscape style of English gardens. In 1790th years the innovation of picturesque technics of T. Gainsborough has begun a current of picturesque art. This term designated painting of novelists K. Lorren, N. Poussin, S. Rose, and then and the landscape writers, such as U. Turner. An English landscape, as well as English landscape style in park art, — the typical Romanticism reflecting aspiration to natural, spontaneous sensation of beauty in the nature. After England the Romanticism was extended in Germany, but there it has got more mystical coloring at once.

The ideological essence of Romanticism consists in the direct reference to a human soul, passing historical styles and canons of the academic Classicism. Ideas of romanticism naturally arise because of a dissatisfaction with the validity, crisis of ideals of Classicism and rationalistic thinking, aspiration to leave in the world of ideal representations, utopian dreams about perfection of the world. As in any other direction of art, artists-romanticists are convinced that their direction — is unique a right way.

The main idea of romantic art thinking is the aspiration to irrational, not learnt things. Therefore and an epoch of Romanticism of the end of eighteenth — the beginnings of nineteenth centuries – time of the most effective display of the romantic art thinking only partly caused by crisis of the academic Classicism, and, in deeper sense, — result periodic changes from one pole to another, from materialism to idealism, from rational thinking to mystical sensation of a reality. In this value all medieval art: early Christian, Byzantine, Romance, Gothic — typical Romanticism!

Painting As One Of The Most Popular Kind Of Fine Arts.

Painting is a kind of fine arts, when works of art are created by means of the paints, which are put on any firm surface. As well as other art forms, painting carries out ideological and informative problems, and also serves as sphere of creation of subject aesthetic values, being one of advanced forms of human work.

Painting reflects and estimates the spiritual maintenance of an epoch, its social development. Powerfully influencing feelings and thoughts of spectators, forcing the last to endure the validity represented by the artist, it serves as effective means of public education. Many products of painting possess documentary-informational value.

Owing to presentation of an image, the estimation of a life of the artist, expressed in its product, gets special persuasiveness for the spectator. Creating artistic images, painting uses color and drawing, expressiveness of dabs that provides flexibility of its language, allows it with inaccessible to other kinds of the fine arts completeness to reproduce on a plane colorful riches of the world, dimensions of subjects, their qualitative originality and a material flesh, depth of represented space, air environment. Painting not only directly and visually embodies all visible phenomena of the real world, shows wide pictures of a life of people, but also aspires to disclosing and interpretation of essence of processes made in a life and private world of the person.

Width accessible to a given art form and completeness of coverage of reality also affect in an abundance of genres inherent in it (historical, household, battle, animalistic, etc.).

To destination, on character of execution and images distinguish: painting monumental and decoration (a wall-painting, plafonds, a panel), participating in the organization of the architectural space, creating ideologically-sated environment for the person; easel (pictures), more intimate on the character, usually not connected with any certain place; decorative (sketches theatrical and film scenery and clothes); an iconography; a miniature (illustrations of manuscripts, portraits etc.).

The basic expressive means of painting — color — the expression, ability to cause various sensual associations strengthens image emotionality, causes wide graphic and decorative possibilities of this art form. In products it forms integral system (color). This or that number of the interconnected colors is usually applied and their shades (scale colorful) though there are also a painting by shades of one color (monochrome). The color composition (system of an arrangement and mutual relation of stains of color) provides certain color unity of product, influences a course of its perception of the spectator, being a part of its art structure specific to product. Other expressive means of painting — drawing (a line and a treatment of light and shade) —together with color it organize the image. The line delimits from each other volumes, it is often constructive basis of the picturesque form, allows to reproduce an outline of subjects generic or in details, to reveal their smallest elements.

Technics Of Drawing In A Color Pencil.

Recently I have opened a color pencil for myself. I suggest to you also to get accustomed to this material more attentively.

Working with small children, I offered them cooler pencils for the first acquaintance with color. Then, very soon, passed to development of more serious materials – a watercolor and gouache. Also I was always confident that color pencils – is frivolous, insignificant and superficial technics…

Now, after my experiments with a color pencil, I should recognize that there are no insignificant materials and the technician in the fine arts in general!

So, what was found out at work with color pencils?

Specific features:

1. The color pencil does not maintain very big sizes of a format.

2. Possesses a color transparency.

3. Complexity and a color subtlety are reached by imposing of several colors.

4. Inherently, it nevertheless the drawing material and consequently, of course, it is necessary experience to draw by a regular pencil.

The elementary sketch.

The color pencil is erased with rubber very bad, therefore at first I do preliminary sketches on some simple paper and I bring editing, without being afraid to damage a surface. Primary drawing I make with a regular pencil, at first planning the basic forms, then defining borders of a light and shade. It allows not putting color on the places, which have been not intended for a covering.

If I accept result, I move the sketch on a paper for the main work. Remember that at this stage drawing does not require to be in details, the field of vision will be inevitably left by set of details: therefore postpone details to a work stage in color.

If you only start to master color pencils, choose a paper the most unpretentious and simple in use, and, except that, capable “to sustain loading” of corrections of errors. For example, the firm pencil is badly put down on a rough paper, and soft easily crumbles and breaks about a relief of a paper with well expressed texture. Therefore, it is better to use a qualitative paper with average texture indexes to practice and get acquainted with all nuances of technics of a color pencil. Naturally, it is necessary to experiment with a various paper.

My favorite kind of paper is “wipe paper”; its velvety surface will give to a pencil warm, gentle disposition. But as the paper relief can keep considerable volume of color, I can control the rich, saturated stains of color.

Irrespective of ability of a paper to “forgive” to the artist discrepancy and mistakes, it is not necessary to overload it with color. At an initial stage of studying do not put on a basis pigment dense layers. The problem consists in learning gradually, and strictly supervising, to build color.

In spite of the fact that a little updating is possible with the help of eraser, for example, for softening of separate places, the pencil pigment will be inevitably smeared on a paper if it has been put with a dense or deep layer. Draw easy lines to exclude necessity of correction of a dense layer of a pigment. Then you can improve work with new paint layers for a long time.

Learn To Draw Paintings In Pencil.

Let’s speak about technics elements, at first.

The pencil leaves on a paper a thin line and it is impossible to cover the big area at once. Sometimes these not complete parts of drawing have huge psychological influence on the artist; therefore I recommend to divide work into fragments and to make them consistently. Such approach justifies itself, as I perceive each part of drawing simply as a combination of light, average and dark values. Here is necessary certain practice. Eyes should learn to see object not only as a subject, but also as set of different color stains. To your surprise, such method will remove a lot of problems, especially in the beginning work, and difficult work at any difficult drawing will give huge pleasure.

I do not use a white pencil for light or white places: it will give effect of grayish, pale shades, and I need accurate contrast of light and dark casts. And I simply leave untouched paper whiteness.

After allocation of these stains, I start to put color layers, developing scale from light to the dark. I pass one color on another until I will achieve a necessary shade. It is a unique way of mixing of paints in the technician of a color pencil (without use of solvents).

In the nature there are few of one-color objects. I don’t use only one pencil for the decision of a concrete color stain: each place represents a combination of paints of two or more colors.

Even if your “object” has absolutely black color — try to find characteristic texture-tonal drawing and to define light and dark stains. Then you should choose paints, which are harmoniously combined and are close to each place of color. I have established a rule for myself: always to mix a paint of primary color with paints, at least, of two other pencils. Only after that it is possible to consider developed tone. At the given approach search of the most true and correct shades raises special visual interest. Creating in drawing expressive effects, sometimes it is necessary to use about 50 various pencils.

It is impossible to avoid underpainting on difficult places.

Finishing the given stage, it is possible to begin laborious work on nuances of a light-to-dark modelling, observing sequence from light to the dark. Changing pencil pressing, create a wide range of values, avoiding effect of “polishing” of a surface at which paints of light shades with effort are put on dark so that wax binding of a pencil is softened and forms luster.

Final strokes.

Having felt that I am close to finishing stages of work, I remove sheet on one and a half – two metre and I analyze its coloristic decision, contrast and properties of values from various sides and points of view. I bring changes and additions. Then, if I will consider necessary, I delete all casual traces and stains, and also errors with eraser. All work from beginning to end occupies from 15 till 30 hours.

Try elements of my technique of drawing in color pencils, irrespective of character of the chosen object. There is a unique way to penetration into secrets of this – it is attentive research, experiments with pencil pressing, ways of drawing of paint layers and a variety of a paper. Availability and the spontaneous nature of color pencils sometimes create false representation about their brilliant and unlimited possibilities, for example, in creation of the most detailed realistic works. However, it is possible to tell with confidence that color pencils are capable to inspire any artist to feel huge pleasure from a successful combination of elements schedules and painting.

Landscape Is Amazing Kind Of The Art.

My lessons on art history can be different. I read lectures to adult people, and I try to talk, play with children. Especially fascinatingly for students pass classes devoted to a landscape genre. The first lesson about a landscape passes traditionally – at first after all it is necessary to get acquainted with features of a genre, its versions, with the most known landscape painters. The real education of feelings begins at a following lesson, which is called “The landscape poetry”. Considering landscape pictures we will try to comprehend an image poetically. For me it is very much a right moment, when I can bring students to understanding of affinity of painting and poetry.

It is known that arts do not outline the borders and do not reject relationship. Image art, word art, music as smokes of three fires, being combined, intertwine in uniform space and participate in the general sacrament – poetic development of the world. It would be desirable, that children have felt this deep connection as soon as possible. It would mean to make their spiritual life more difficult, to fill it with associations without which is impossible the real creativity.

In different cultures, we know, there were periods when the fine art was read in poetry reflections, and the poetry lived with art suggestions. I suggest to students the product of the Japanese classical art, as an example. We know also that in the fine arts of Japan, deep penetration into the nature world has generated a genre of a landscape much earlier, than it has appeared in the European painting. The feeling of the nature penetrates the literature, painting, and an applied art of Japan since ancient times. Sources of such relation are in attitude of the Japanese – they love and value the nature.

I show decorative lists on screens, roll painting, and engravings of the Japanese masters. They notice that many images are devoted to sunrise and a sunset, certain hours in the afternoon, holidays of an admiring by the moon and colors of a cherry and plum, to iris gardens in color, the hills, covered with snow, etc. Then I read them verses of the Japanese poets, and tell them about classical form of Japanese versifications. They attentively listened, sometimes asked to repeat, and have written down and have learnt verses, which they liked.

I have paid attention to unity, indissolubility of the image and poetry and that the aesthetics both that, and another is based on the underlined role of a detail and implied sense. At first, when I read verses, children tried to imagine a visible image.

Art is amazing and it always brings good positive expression to every person. Enjoy art and be happy!

How Is To Choose A Qualitative Brush?

Every brush consists of three basic parts: a hair bunch, a metal holder and the wooden handle.

Metal clamp. Metal clamps of qualitative brushes are seamless, made of seamless copper or a brass and can be covered by chrome or nickel. The brush clamp should be densely filled with hairs and strongly cover the handle on a circle. The hair bunch is glued to the handle and gives to brush bigger durability, but the gluing structure should not reach the top end of a clamp. It leads to necessity to use longer hairs that the brush at work could be turned on desirable degree.

The handle. High quality handles can be made only of firm wood of deciduous trees, such, as a beech, an oak, and a birch. The handle and a metal clamp are pressed with each other for better durability.

Hair bunch. The hair bunch, actually working part of a brush, is natural or synthetic hair of different shape and size. It is impossible to find universal brush, each brush has own mission. Brushes of natural hair are good for work with liquid paints, as main criteria here – control over fluidity of paint, ability of a brush to form a thin tip and elasticity of a hair bunch. The soft structure of natural hair and its natural form as well as possible meet these requirements.

Kolinsky is the best hair for a brush; it has gold-brown coloring, with sharp, as a needle, tip. It holds paint very well; its soft structure, the conic form and return make its ideal for all liquid paints and a portrayal of details. Besides the bunch of kolinsky brushes consists of hairs of different length, which at contact of the filled brush with a surface, create a capillary stream – continuous, with an excellent consistence.

Least weasel is an alternative to kolinsky hair. Hairs of red-brown color, with the good sharp tip, of quite good filling, but not such long, as at a kolinsky hair.

Hair of the squirrel is very thin, of blue, black or brown color. The tip of a brush from the squirrel hair reminds a rapier edge, under the control over fluidity does not concede a kolinsky hair, but it is not so elastic by the nature.

Easy bull hair. Brushes from the bull hair also are good for liquid paints at the expense of softness and elasticity though haven’t such sharp conic form, as kolinsky or squirrel hair. Brushes for pastose paints are estimated only on one parameter: the denser is paint the hair should be firmer. Brushes from a bristle hair are considered as the most suitable. Slightly diluted paints require softer hair.

Badger hair has the conic form and a dense top part, closer to the hair end, but near hair root it is rather thin, therefore a brush is very fluffy. It is considered ideal at work with moderately diluted oil paints. The best badger brushes have a tip of white color and a dark strip in the middle.

Pig bristle – elastic and strong, from it can be made the best brushes for oil and acrylic. The major characteristic of a bristle is its split tip – it promotes good fullness of a brush and equal drawing of paint on a basis surface.

Synthetic brushes are not similar with each other and behave differently. Nylon brushes are not good for work with a watercolor, but are good for moderately diluted acrylic as possess the necessary durability and elasticity. Synthetic hair on the basis of polyesters possesses various degree of elasticity. It can be collected in bunches of various diameters for creation of capillary action between fibres, with what is reached the good control over fluidity.

Also you can meet brushes with the mixed structure of natural and synthetic hair. The brushes containing hairs of a red sable, it is possible to use for work with oil paints, acrylic and a watercolor. Others on the contrary have been made specially for liquid acrylic paints and are too soft for oil paints.

Some Of Criteria Of Art Estimation.

The term “art” can define the most different objects — from prehistoric drawings on stones and ceramics to obstruction of household and industrial stuff in art galleries. But though to art area also refer music, theatre, ballet and the literature, more often this term means the fine arts, and first of all painting.

For centuries people tried to understand what is art. Artists and critics quarreled and argued about this, adhering to the most different opinions. The French artist Manet has so strongly differed in opinion from one of critics that has challenged him on duel. There are many questions at issue, but there is not and will not be unequivocal, intelligible answers. Everybody has own tastes and opinions — and only you should choose what you like more.

For someone art should be, first of all, fine, for others — realistic, for third it is more important, that it transfers mood or feeling. There are many diversified pictures in the world: one differs with almost photographic accuracy, others are much more outlined, but very precisely shows the mood …

One people believe that art should express certain ideas; others prefer to enjoy art for the sake of art. Just about it impressionists also had big discussions — someone from them considered that it is necessary to reproduce scenes from a modern life, others were more interested in studying of influence of light on subjects.

It frequently becomes a subject of fierce disputes also cost of art works. Vincent Van Gogh has died in poverty as nobody wished to buy his pictures, and today his art works have big prices among the most valuable works of art in the world.

To help the spectator to understand sense of a picture, artists frequently place the hidden helps — symbols on it. They are connected with the general concepts sometimes. For example, the book symbolizes the doctrine, a sword or other weapon – fights, and a blossoming branch of a tree or a flower – beauty and pleasure. Besides, symbols help to understand, who is represented in a picture. Known characters, for example sacred, are often represented with the symbolical subjects associating with history of their life so experts can understand whom the artist has presented in the picture. In any pictures it is possible to find set of helps – here only it is necessary to know what to search.

For perception of a picture it is also very important to know, for what purpose it was created: did the artist wish to decorate a palace with it or write it for church? And it can be, it intended for an exhibition in gallery where visitors would admire with the beauty or it would force them to reflect on the ideas expressed in it… Is there in product any political, social either moral sense or the main thing in it is to express emotions?

Though… Artist Renoir wrote various paintings, and people bought his pictures just because they liked them.

At studying of painting works is important not only style of the image, but also paints. Art materials and methods were changed. The manner of painting is so individual, as handwriting. Some artists put paints smoothly, creating a smooth surface; others use separate, sometimes sharp dabs. Everything depends only on preference of the artist.

Some Information About A Landscape.

In the Middle Ages it was considered that the nature couldn’t become a picture theme. Usually landscapes appeared on cloths as a background for any historical scene. Sometimes the landscape consisted only of several rocks — one guide on painting of XIV century even advised to artists to heat up rocks on the background. But in XVI-XVII centuries the relation to landscapes began to vary.

In XV century artists have started to comprehend prospect laws. This revolutionary opening has allowed them to represent space more precisely. Hence, they could create more realistic landscapes. It gradually began to appear pictures, where the landscape played more important role, than people, and even pictures, where at all there were no people.

To seventeenth century the nature became a popular theme in painting, and a landscape — a full genre. Artists, especially in Northern Europe, created a large quantity of landscapes — from imagined idyllic scenes to the most detailed kinds of real places.

The first landscape writers did not create a picture directly outside on the nature. Having made some sketches, they came back in studio and already finished the work there. But in the middle of nineteenth century there was a fashion to write pictures in the open air. Artists were inspired by a changeable play of light and the atmospheric phenomena, and they aspired to write landscapes directly “from nature”.

Eventually the relation of artists to landscapes varied not less, than landscapes. For last century there were especially many various styles — from frightening urban landscapes of cubists and lyrical city images to “land-art” (artists of this direction work with a landscape, using for creation of the works the ground, stones and other natural materials). As a source of inspiration for artists of “land-art” serves the surrounding landscape, and their products become its part then.

Still life works.

The still life is an image of motionless objects, such, as flowers or fruit, musical instruments etc.
Till the end of nineteenth century main principles of creation of still life works were defined by aspiration to make them, as it is possible realistic. And artists have reached such skill in it that could represent everything — from a bunch of grapes, which looks so realistic, to jugs and bowls which, apparently, go beyond from a picture plane.

Creation of a still life works demands the big skill. It is necessary for artist to make an interesting composition, to show light, the texture of subjects. Such pictures force you to believe that you look at real volume subjects, instead of on the plane covered with paint. However, critics up to nineteenth century scornfully concerned still life art — they saw only practice in the picturesque techniques in it.

The still life can be the simple image of subjects, and can comprise any hidden sense. Artists often make a composition expressing certain ideas. So, books symbolize knowledge, musical instruments — pleasure, and skulls, trembling body of flame or decaying fruit urged to remind of death. Pictures with the hidden symbolical sense are called as allegories. Allegorical pictures became so popular that some artists almost have completely devoted themselves to this genre.

Portrait Genre Is Always Popular Among People!

The portrait genre already exists for thousand years. In the ancient time portraits were created mainly that to honour the dead person. However to XV century, people began to order portraits in the most different occasions. Small portraits often were given as a keepsake. The big smart portraits usually served the purposes of glorification of models — they created majestic images of the important public figures.

Today, to imagine, how the person looks, we look at the photo, and to the photo invention it was necessary to use picturesque portraits. Therefore, the artist paid much attention to show features of the face, sometimes even consciously exaggerating characteristic details, for example, the big nose to underline similarity to the original.

But the portrait does not simply reproduce physical similarity. It is always also a way of creation of a certain image of the person, disclosing of his/her inner. That is why the artist chooses a pose, a look, and clothes so that to show model from most advantage and to reproduce an essence of character and a social status of the posing person. Many portraitists, by the way, have become successful just because were able to flatter the original.

When in XVI century there were the qualitative mirrors, many artists have started to write self-portraits. It gave the chance to them to study own appearance and character, and also to practice use of new methods, without thinking of if these experiments will be pleasant to somebody. On the other hand, the self-portrait allowed the artist to show the skill to those people, who could order own portraits, that is was something like the early form of advertising.

Portraitists give a great attention to a choice of a proper requisite and accessories, capable to reflect character and a way of life of the person, — for example, to testify to a sort of his employment. Subjects on a portrait can tell the whole story.

Painting products were always cost much, while it is not necessary to pay big money for a photo. Is it necessary to be surprised that after the photo invention (and it has occurred almost 200 years ago) wishing to order to artists the portraits became ever less? But some artists have tried to excel photographers, using qualitatively new picturesque methods.

Though usually the portrait shows the person only from one viewpoint: a profile, a full face or in three quarters, sometimes artists added one more foreshortening — in the form of a sculpture or reflexion. Artists of New time (for example, Pablo Picasso) have developed this tendency, having connected in one picture crossed images of the person, as though visible under different corners. Perhaps, such portrait seems strange and less realistic, than the product executed in traditional style of painting, but, using at once some viewpoints, artists aspired to fuller image of the person.

Novelty And Originality Of Modern Art! Correct Frame For Your Works Of Art.

Today from art is demanded novelty and originality more than ever. Artists constantly aspire to move apart borders of that we have got used to name art. The imagination of public is amazed also with the huge sums, which collectors are sometimes ready to pay for products of “new art”. Today among subjects, which are exposed by artists, it is possible to find the bicycle wheel placed on a stool; the image of a pipe with the board: “It is not a pipe”; a brick heap; a pure white cloth; a heap of the dust, which has remained after a banquet; a bed with not cleaned bed… Do you think it is art? Most likely, you at all do not expect to meet similar things in art gallery! However they are capable to cause rough reaction and to force to look at things with a new point of view — and after all to it quite often aspire also products of traditional painting.

If we address to history of arts we can see how art styles and receptions varied eventually. But only one remains invariable – the real work of art always should excite soul, not to leave indifferent anybody…

Many people are interested, are there any rules concerning viewing of pictures? I think that to enjoy contemplation of a picturesque cloth, it is unessential to know much about painting, but knowledge, probably, will help you to receive more pleasures from pictures.

Depending on what is represented, painting products are divided on some groups or genres. The basic genres: a portrait, a landscape and a still life. Some pictures in general are difficult for carrying to a certain genre. And there are more and more of such pictures.

In works of art all space, as a rule, is organized: its composition is that what forces us to perceive a picture definitely. The most important characters or subjects, which should draw attention of the spectator, can be allocated in the sizes, brightness of paints; the artist can place them in the center.

And now, let me share with you some information for beginning artists.

How is to pick up a frame for a picture correctly?

The first rule and actually unique, there is no any rules on a frame of pictures. You do not have need to choose any certain color in a picture so that it was combined with passe-partout; passe-partout shouldn’t supplement on color of a frame, and the frame shouldn’t suit to wall-paper in the house of your customer. It is necessary to experiment safely. And the most important thing is to choose that is pleasant to you and the customer.

The second: a choice of width of a frame. The main criterion is size of a framed subject. Too wide frame “will close” a small picture, and narrow will not add anything to the big cloth.

The third: a choice of passe-partout. There are only two parameters, which you should take into consideration: color and the size. The main rule consists in choosing such color, which would supplement a picture and not spoil it. The size of passe-partout usually gets out according to the size of the picture, but here is allowed some freedom while you will not come to the most optimum combination of width, from normal width of passe-partout about 50 mm to 100 mm.

Useful Habits For Beginning Artists.

All of us we know that to get habits much easier, than to get rid of them. Means, getting of useful habits will not allow to appear harmful, relieving of necessity to throw them, saving time and forces.

COMFORT IN WORK.

Spend a few time for arranging of a comfortable place for work. Choose that time when it is the most pleasant to you to be engaged and when nothing will disturb you. It is difficult to create a picture when constantly look through a shoulder, every minute you distract on the most ridiculous questions or make comments on each action. As a result there is a disputed, explosive situation. There is nothing good and in an illumination lack, noise and loud sounds. So, the thought over organisation of a place and time that anybody and nothing could prevent employment should become the first useful habit.

CLEANLINESS AND THE ORDER IN TOOLS.

For professionals it is a obvious thing, and beginners don’t realise advantage and an urgency of this habit at once. Take for a rule to wash brushes and palettes after work. Palettes with the colour mixes stirred for the subsequent work can become a unique exception. You will be surprised, how fast it can become a habit.

STORAGE OF WORKS.

Store the ready both left unfinished drawings and painting in folders or on special racks. Thanks to such simple care they will not be rumpled and get dusty. The skilful approach to storage of own works rescues from disappointments and the afflictions connected with their loss. At creative persons is frequent the case when work was not done completely, but has passed time and it would be desirable to return to it. The corresponding mood has returned, and it would be desirable to work. Only on the generated habit to accuracy depends if you can once continue the begun work postponed till the best times, or you should make a fresh start because of the negligence.

SIGNATURES AND RECORDS.

Sign the ready works, notice time spent for their creation. Such “statistics” will allow you to calculate the forces, to plan time, to track technical successes and achievements. It will be easy to you to reveal problem areas and further to work over them, getting necessary skills. There is time spent for trainings, an ability to control the time. Records will allow to optimise time. As the signed picture will relieve subsequently critics and collectors of a painful question: “Who has drawn the given masterpiece?”

SKETCHES AND IDEAS.

Memory — a thing unreliable, especially if matter concerns such fleeting concept, as idea. And a question is not in bad memory, and in features of mentality. The human perception is mobile. The thought, which has amazed us varies and can easily lose that charm and appeal, which have amazed us at the moment of its birth. Quite often it depreciates so quickly, that already through couple hours not clearly, than this idea was so good. Sketch and write down ideas in special notebooks or albums.

SHOW THE WORKS TO PEOPLE.

Certainly, it is a question of ready works. Show your pictures to people even if you hesitate. It is pleasant to nobody to hear bad responses. However the artist creates for people, so begin to give pleasure to others. Concern all responses, as to stimulus.

The Reasons To Restore Your Works Of Art.

Paintings need restoration from time to time. Works of art can change color, become dull, etc. The reasons are influence of sunlight, smoke, extremely dry or crude conditions, atmospheric pollution, and any others pollutants, which can be in air. The skilled restorer will search also for traces of serious progressive problems, such as soil, mould or damage of insect. As phonograph records and varnishes used hundred years ago haven’t been equipped to pass test by time, old pictures can become dark and dull.

Let me tell you about basic steps, which you should follow.

The first step to painting restoration, you should make sure that canvas on which picture exists, in good condition. As soon as painting is stabilized, the restorer can pay attention to clearing and repeated polishing part. It is very interesting, but hard work to restore paintings, because you should pay attention to many details.

The quantity and the nature of dirt differ from painting to painting, depending on environment in which it stayed. Painting clearing begins with checking of various chemical decisions, which will get used to the first, will remove dirt, and secondly, to remove old varnish. The appropriate mix will successfully eliminate colorless varnish, but not color pigment.

If it is required, restores add some paint into your picture. It is made, when the restorer should reduce visibility of the damaged areas, doing updating, which aesthetically are necessary. Some methods can be used, but the least difficult is based on distribution of painting, procedure, according to which oil extends to fill any given volume. This process allows colors to extend in missing areas of the image. If painting is very old and fragile, all additional painting is made manually.

Now, the intermediate varnish coat is applied to original painting before any additional painting will begin. The purpose here to separate new paint physically from old to guarantee that any future restoration can be made with small or any effect to original layers. Any paint used after those, should change colors of the painting so that it hasn’t darkened faster than original oil paint. Besides, synthetics, such as the acrylic paint, can be removed with solvents, which won’t damage the painting.

At last, the structure should be taken into consideration to reflect the period in which painting has been created. Again, the professional restorer will have ability to replace or correct any broken or missing parts in structure, or repeatedly cutting out or changing the damaged sections, using the same material.

Process of art restoration is slow and very laborious task. The restorer should not only to be patient, meticulous and extremely attentive to details, but also and qualified in art restoration. Professional restoration is expensive, but if you really value your paintings, you should make it.

Pictures have property to be amazing and concern imagination of the person while pictures on various invented themes can simply fascinate, therefore as they usually transmit images from imagination of the artist.

At last, let’s consider landscape painting works in which are in many respects similar. Pictures-landscapes are such pictures, which transmit all those fine views, which we see round us. Themes for works in this kind of painting fluctuate from the hills covered with a grass to beach views and snow-covered mountains. Many artists have good imagination and feeling of creativity, therefore some of them can use the skill so excellently that at fulfillment of this or that landscape work, they can transmit a real landscape or a landscape is so realistic that it seems that it is only a photo.

Learn To Paint With Pleasure!

All of us admire of pictures. Our tastes can change, our preference can be various, but all of us like to look at pictures. Secretly it is a pity to us that we could not make a kind of work, which our favorite artists, apparently, in a condition to make in a considerable quantity at will. Well, good news – you also can make this. Painting, contrary to a popular myth is not some confidential gift, which was given to few selected people. It is simply skill, which can be learnt by anybody, who is prepared to give a few time and effort for this.

The majority of people are intimidated from brush picking up. Their confidence about their ability to draw has possibly transferred many blows beginning in a school art class, which they, probably, attended to believe that they did not have “gift”. That is mysterious gift, which does not exist. Others, probably, have strengthened this belief, thus they pass a life, capable to study new skills for their work, but not daring to get a brush.

They can study difficult technical skills, become successful in business, but mention art, and they cannot make it because art, thus the myth occurs, demands a special gift. It is one of the greatest myths of a life. Training to draw in the same way as learns to move. Nobody jumps in the car at their first lesson and drives straight for a motorway.

Remember, when you have started to learn to go at first. You are normal person and you have ability to study. After several years on road, driving becomes automatic. And as all skills, painting can be also studied.

Art – the same. It is only skill and anything else. Training to pull demands that the student learn to master certain methods. With time and effort small amount of these methods are easily mastered, and seemed from your very close, becomes the second nature to you. If you have not got a brush as you were at school, you pass remarkable experience. If you always wished to learn to paint, but were intimidated from going to an art class, then there are numerous other ways to study.

Art educational programs and discs is an excellent way to seize with the basic methods. This method has returned me in art. I also believed that art has demanded a special gift and that only a few people could make it. I have understood soon that painting methods are easily studied, and I have surprised me with how quickly I studied. If only the art class at school was so instructive.

Art educational books and discs is a good way to come back in art. You can watch them at the computer with the easel, which has been adjusted aside, and to follow the artist as he instructs you. If you do not understand some point, you can change it, until it is not absorbed. Within a short time you will be surprised with how quickly you can get skills to write a good picture. Before to begin, though, the first thing you should make, arrange a belief that drawing doesn’t demand some special gift. It does not do, as anything else in a life; it is only skill, which can be easily after some practice.

Let Your Child To Be Closer To Art.

Art is most close and dear to my heart. Allow the child to try a wide spectrum of a various applied art, thus he or she can see that is the most interesting to pursue further. For example, there are rates in pottery creation, drawing, painting, enameling, a sculpture and it is much more. Chidren like to learn new things, especially when are interested in a subject. Make sure to find the teacher who will make studying of an entertainment and will give them positive support. Many of my students have told to me in the beginning, that they cannot make it. It has no significance, there is no right and it is wrong in creative art. It is the creative license of the artist to make regardless of the fact what they want. My main anxiety with dangerous students should allow them to know that it takes time and an expert as in any branch of arts, to become qualified. There are no fast processes, irrespective of how much talented you are. Then, I go forward and I learn to them the project, to gain trust and to see that art is valid for them. Some of my students have flied up to create projects independently as soon as they have understood that perfection is not expected them. Pressure is switched off, and they can be free to enjoy irrespectively environments is pleasant mostly to them.

My mother and the father have registered me in the big variety of rates. As the timid child, it has frightened me at first, but even courses in which I was not interested, were educational to me. I have spoilt each rate of a bit more knowledge and estimation for this purpose that arguments pro should make to become good in the craft. Though I did not practice into dance, I liked to pull, paint, music and pottery. And, attempt of various things has pulled out me from my bowl, forcing shyness to disappear later.

I am a professional artist, my exclusive style – realistic art, but I appreciate various disciplines unlike a deposit, such as impressionistic or abstract art. My mother learns to young students to appreciate old masters and they love her lessons. To each child teach to choose painting, which they love, then try to draw it, using the basic paint of distemper. It is surprising, as fine pictures can appear, and every year she receives work copies before they will go home with children. Without permission to these three-five years’ children, classical training in painting includes copying of masters further forward in an art education. Children love it, and work hard to make good work, thus they can go home and give it to the parents. Very valuable project.

Then this is a very appropriate opportunity to display art paintings on the walls in your rooms. Art paintings will create a very special and individual atmosphere in your rooms. But placing paintings on the walls is some kind of a “science”, because if you make mistakes your rooms and the house itself will look like a storage. This article will give you a little help to decorate your home with paintings.

Colors of the paintings are very important. Choosing paintings make sure that they fit to the colors of the walls, furniture and carpet in the room you are going to decorate. Every room and every decor has its own mood so be sure that your paintings fit this mood. Is the room large and has much of free space? Then display on the walls marinas or pictures with flowers.

You should choose paintings that you really like but not to choose those that are very popular or the latest fashion. If the room you are decorating has not very bright, calm colors then choose painting of the same colors. For example a bedroom should have calm and peaceful atmosphere, so choose painting of “quiet” colors and with calm subjects. If you would like your room to be full of energy than choose paintings with very bright and “live” colors.

Style should be chosen too. There are a lot of styles of paintings contemporary, modern and traditional. The style of paintings should match to you and to the room too. Your own taste and preferences are the best indicators in choosing a style of paintings. If you want to display more than one piece of painting in one room then choose pictures of complementary styles.

Size of a painting is very important too. If you display large pictures in a small room the room will look much smaller than it is. For small rooms choose small sized paintings. And if a room is big and has enough free space then choose pictures of large sizes, because small pictures will be just “lost” in a big room. or you may display a lot of small pictures on the walls of the big room.

Now it is time to arrange your art works. If you give much space on the wall to each painting then your room will look like an art gallery. If you display several paintings on the wall, then give enough space between paintings. You also can display several small pictures in a scenic disorder on the wall, this will look very original. Arranging paintings depends on the room, the size of art works and on your own preferences of course.

Try Yourself As An Artists Abstractionist.

Original abstract painting is a certain type of artworks. Many people enjoy abstract art, and others find it very puzzling. If you are interested in creation of your own part of artworks then, you should think of abstract art. Painting captures your creative potential also can be an excellent way out from frustration and pressure of an everyday life.

Abstract art is like escape from reality. You do not paint a picture, but the scene forces you to feel. You can make the full resume or the partial resume.

Bucket Cezanne, Pol Goguin, Vincent van Gogh, Georges Seurat are very famous abstractionists. These artists were origins in modern art development. Some of the first modern abstract works have been created in Paris in the beginning of 20th century. Some of the earliest known parts include the French Window in Collioure and the Yellow Curtain of Anri Matisom. Picasso also developed his cubist pictures which are completely abstract.

Abstract art uses bright colours and also demands a good imagination. Bases of abstract art is the skill to mix various structures, forms and colours together to present a specific thing, irrespective of what it is.

Many artists use various ways to begin as they begin based that is in their imagination or as they feel during that moment. For beginners can be good to concentrate on a certain object.

As soon as you have chosen object then, you should think of it and deform it or look at it in the abstract way. Thus you can make that stain of object, or to twist its section. Think of two those objects facing together. You can use also music to help to change object. It is a rhythm of music which helps many people. Do you want your picture to look bright and “live”? Then listen to loud energetic music. And if you would like your art work to be calm and sad, then listen to slow music.

If you only begin, then make it sure that you have all materials that you need. Go to a local shop of art and purchase canvas, brushes and different paints. If you are interested in performance, then invest some capital to good brushes as they are very important. You can receive any paint which you want; the full pallet of colour or probably only concentrates on various shades green.

Canvas is perfect for painting, but you can start drawing on paper or primed paper. And actually it is better to start with paper because canvas cost rather much. Remember that with original abstract painting there are no rules, thus you cannot make a mistake. You do not require the plan to start painting, you can go only. Real original abstract art occurs, when you do not think in general, but your painting enters possession.

Are You Able To See And Feel Painting?

Some people paint what they see before them. You are extremely successful, if it describes you. It means that you can turn your hand to create pictures which precisely resemble a subject before you.

It is remarkably to be able to draw pictures that have real sight. There were remarkable realists artists who made their paintings full of life and reality. Each painting has a full history to tell and any detail is considered.

However, it is difficult to make realistic art painting for beginners. A lot of time is required to develop demanded skills. Even for the skilled artist it is difficult to support the standards demanded to draw pictures that look real.

Though it can be stimulating and strained for an artist to draw realism for beginners and not skilled artists, it is pressure which you do not require.

Fortunately, there are other people who see what they paint…

It has carried, because they can concentrate on their painting instead of were overloaded with their requirement for fine copying. Perfection means something another for them.

Imagine then pleasure when you see pictures of the artist who has been released from realism.

Some artists see what they paint. They know difficult history behind simple painting…

Some artists paint a life in the pictures…

* Pictures which are quiet and silent.
* Pictures which can shout and shout

Elections are yours… Search as live realism… Or life in abstraction.

But do not end up in despondency. Only, because your painting precisely does not resemble a subject, does not mean that you have not caught essence of it. You, probably, have grasped a life inside… Emotional quality…, which can be equally important.

Emotional quality was important for Old masters…

* With Turner JMW, Art has started to be transformed with bright colour and quickly exact drawing. It was the inspired person of 1800 which vision has shaken English Influential circles of the world of art.
* there were Impressionists, as Monet and Sisley which has transformed Landscape painting with their fast picturesque manner and colour use.
* Vincent van Gogh involuntarily forged a place in the history of arts. With his passion and dedication, he drew masterpieces which will continue to admire.
* Picasso, the father of the Modern art, was allocated in usual painting, but expanded his influence through detection of new ways to see the world.

Try to answer a very important question: “What artist you wish to become?”

To draw talent and enthusiasm is as important as perfection of a small detail. Allow the light of individuality and character through your artworks. Try to be exact in a gain of spirit of your subject…

However you paint, it is better to draw pictures which have their own life…

* Pictures which divide your ideas, vision and talent
* Pictures which tell stories
* Pictures which ask questions
* Pictures which will inspire

“You are inspired by your pictures?”

A Short Guidance Around Modern Art

Ok, if you are not familiar with Art, you should know some of the general terms used in art and what styles of art are classified as modern. For an example a subject really is an object, people, or places, the artist tries to conclude in a capsule. The form is colors, structures, lines etc. and as they form work.

The maintenance is that value of work and to us actually gives to understand it. It is valid, how we answer painting, the form, medium and certainly a subject.

Medium is basically all methods and the materials used for artworks which you see before you.

The modern art is in favor of many people simply because it is presented in very many various forms possesses. The modern art, you could tell, possibly concerns at the right time somewhere out of 1860.

The modernism is similar to abstractionism, but you could tell that a lot of modern art will not be abstract.

Modern artists, for example, could only mainly work which is figurative, but me, many works are abstract. Eventually, we use all forms, forms and colors to create our work.

The cubism uses the essence of a subject not how the subject looks like. Thus giving the various points of view of the given theme, but analyzing it is valid. Take Pablo Picasso as an example.

Popularity art has entered at around the end of 1960 -1950. Andy Warhol who is a fine example. The whole new form of art has appeared for advertising, comics etc. which were extremely bright and impudent really.

Art Op, also from the last 1950/1960s. Abstract art in the geometrical form which often creates illusion so that art looked as though it actually moves.

Minimalism from the last 1970- 1960. They are very often a number of repeated elements, but art in general it is made from very few.

The expressionism has begun in 1900. It usually makes some kind of emotional impact as very strong dabs of a brush and colour were used. Often very exaggerated colours are used with the deformed forms.

There is a common opinion that the futurism was born in Italy in 1909. Really, these pictures have shown actual speeds and movements.

The surrealism, it often displays of automatic type of drawings, I would tell, to mind works. Sometimes realistic and still, it being not always represented to have the big sense. The most famous artist surrealist is Salvador Dali. If you want to look at his great works go to Barcelona.

Impressionism – many of these pictures consist of short lines of colour the friend close to the friend to make a picture. When considered from distance they look, as though they actually merge together. They were often used for landscapes. Claude Monet was the main example of the leading painter in this area.

Art Can Tell You Many Interesting Things…

All say that painting – art, but I like to think that it is a method of communication. Certainly, when we think of painting today, we visualize pictures in halls of an exhibition and art galleries. However, painting has very ancient history when prehistoric people were in the habit to pull pictures of animals and originals on cave walls. They did not do it to earn money, I am assured, but it was the type of system of communication. Even today, people who are fond of modern art or create modern pictures, they tell us something subconsciously, which immediately involve us in them, as some magnetic force.

Painting – one such form of the fine arts. It was widely used in modern Europe and other parts of the world. Many great painters as Leonardo da Vinci, Pablo Picasso and others used pictures to express their internal majority of feelings and philosophy, which remained alive within very many years. Today, when we go to any of these art galleries, we not only see their pictures, we see what those painters speak with us through those parts of a canvas. You can even feel that emotions of the artist and understand his feelings during the time, when he created his painting. It is great feeling!

Are you interested in painting purchase? Not bad idea, but what do you look in that painting? What do you want that painting has informed you and other people? You should answer these questions before buying some work of art.

Some buyers of art are based on specific themes. They are only the vigorous art collector. They purchase it because they can hear that painting wishes to tell. These buyers wander in areas, which are more close to art galleries and art lanes, where you could find the local artists selling their talent under cheaper price, than that you could find in an art gallery.

We are not similar with this art collector, who has more knowledge of pictures and their technical feature. Ordinary people purchase art because we like to hang it in our drawing room or in our hall. We just want something that makes our mood and the relation to other better, at their very first sight at painting.

Few of us, who a little with business customs, see the investment into art. Usually, when we see nice painting, we admire its beauty; but other people see it as ancient thing to get profit. It is only a question of how we feel things. These people purchase art and sell it when they think that its correct time to sell it.

Hence, there is very imperative nobility what you precisely want that your art has informed you. Communicate with works of art and you will find out many interesting things.

Difference Between Art And Design.

We settle scores with those visitors from the best promptings who like to address to us as to artists. While their verbal way can be laid with good intentions, and there is a certain element artistic to design, it is necessary to notice that there is an ocean of distinction, which distinguishes roles of artists against that from designers.

In view of that the artist in general makes art for himself or offers work for sale in gallery or to the private collector, the designer is taken to create a part, which is aimed at the certain predetermined audience. While it is frequent error to believe that the designer works to satisfy personal preference of the client independently, our purpose consists in addressing to the demographic purpose of the client, not the person or group of people to the companies of the client.

If it is not authorized to create certain type of a part, the artist in general works in the environment of his or her own choice. Some can concentrate on a sculpture while others can specialize on textile art, painting or multimedia installations. On the contrary, the designer is usually entered to make a certain marketing means of transport, whether it is a new emblem and image of mark, a part of sale of goods by mail, a designation for new development of real estate or a website.

The reason for creative efforts of the artist is personal expression. The artist creates the work based on his or her own inspiration and emotions to execute personal vision of what part it will be. The designer is on the contrary – we develop concepts and creative approaches, which will purposely speak with accurate potential customers – satisfaction of our own preference is not the main purpose. Our purpose should be always on the circulation to someone else – the end user of a product of the client or service.

While always there are exceptions, artists often work over their own rate, taking time they should influence a part while they are not satisfied by an outcome. Ask any designer, and they will tell to you that design is business very focused on a deadline. More often than not, by then, when the client hires the designer, they want a finished product as soon as possible – as, yesterday. It is very seldom when designer has open timetables to comprehend and in details to study typographical details in an arrangement.

Artists in general work in a place of studio, which can be in or outside from their house. Designers work in any number of parameters of adjustment – as the internal designer in limits of bigger companies, within design firm or other creative agency, as an individual department of marketing/project for the smaller company, as the chief of their own company or as the non-staff employee.

While the aesthetic aspect of art definitely constitutes decisive component of the project, main distinctions between these two trades lie in the purpose and intention. While art in general is created for advantage of art, the design – much more deliberate, settlement process with an end definite purpose in memory. And, let’s appear before it, it is much more stimulating to address to the scheduled external audience than to yourself. Without that audience, the reason for design existence would be lost.
