Kurt Wenner has been around longer than Julian Beevers, but wasn't lucky enough to have the viral email element that Beevers had. Some say Wenner was the creator/pioneer of Anamorphic Street Art (using geometry to create an illusion of depth). His work may seem same-same but he was the first. And there's no denying that he knows how to paint that Italian Masters style![VIA]

In the update that I know everyone's been waiting for, Stephen Murmer, the Virginia high school art teacher terminated after school officials learned he moonlighted by creating paintings using his bare buttocks as a brush, has settled his wrongful discharge lawsuit on the eve of trial. [See Butt painter's lawsuit to go to trial]. You may be asking yourself, what was his claim worth? $65,000. Unreal. We can all sleep easier knowing justice has been served.

Hace mucho que no actualizo esta sección del blog, debido en parte a que las herramientas que uso son pocas. Siempre he pensado que lo más interesante no es tener muchas, sino sacarles el máximo partido. Pero una de las que se han convertido en imprescindibles es el software de Corel especialmente diseñado para pintores e ilustradores de todo el mundo.Totalmente integrado con tabletas Wacom, de fácil manejo, con una gama enorme y completamente configurable gama de pinturas y pinceles (lapices, óleos, pinturas al pastel, carboncillos, espátulas y un larguísimo etceterá) no debería de faltar en el estudio de cualquier ilustrador digital o un nuevo camino a tener en cuenta para los pintores tradicionales.Si bien se ha generalizado el uso de Photoshop para estas tareas, si se trata

" ... The film is loosely based on events from the life of Francisco Goya, probably the greatest of the painters who stood on the threshold of the modern era. For modern audiences, Goya's graphic depiction of human brutalization—the so-called “black paintings”—have achieved an iconographic quality. Goya was arguably the first painter to systematically portray the mistreatment of human beings at

Francois Boucher (1703-1770), was a masterful French painter of the Rococo age, extremely popular then and ever since. Boucher is the son of an artist.

I originally wanted to write an article on the definition of digital art, and now I finally made myself write it. Digital art is art created with the help of a computer. This can be done in many different ways. A picture can be modelled in 3D and rendered, or art painted in the traditional sense with the aid of a tablet, or even a simple mouse (I really hope everyone reading this are sitting on a tablet though hehe). Pictures can also entirely be generated of the computer like with a program called “Apophysis”. This program can also help you with creativity in Corel Painter, if you are struggling on getting inspiration. It basically automatically creates shapes of colors with a click of a button. I have used it myself many times before painting pictures in corel painter.With the comput

I watched this video that other day, as I was surfing around on corel painter related sites. Wanted to get some inspiration for some new art work. Then I found this video, and it really got me exited about the RealBristle Brushes. It is so cool and flexible, you can really create some cool things with this. Real bristle brushes can give you some nice variations and effects, that mainly should be used for spreading paint over large areas. Like putting in the color of the ground, sea, or sky. So what are you waiting for, you should begin right away to experiment yourself with this great feature in corel painter! Who knows maybe it will become your favorite tool soon ;)

Many people ask me why I use corel painter rather than Photoshop. I'm sure many other painter users gets asked this as well. I always answer short and simple to those people if they have tried corel painter, and sadly the answer is usually "no". Then i follow up with giving them a link to download it and try it out for themselves. I have always wondered why photoshop has become such a popular program, when corel painter exists. In my opinion photoshop should be used for photo editing, and not for painting, as it cant simulate real life brushes as well. The new version of corel painter is really a brilliant piece of software people, and is strongly recommended. Also I recommend going to the corel painter gallery, to get inspired by the possibilities that are within corel painter.

Odilon Redon (1840-1916) was born in Bordeaux (France). Actually, his name is Bertrand-Jean Redon. Odilon is a nickname derived from the name of his mother who was Odile.His father was an adventurer that had made a fortune. When Odilon was a child, he had many health problems so they send him to live in the house of his uncle, in the country.Redon was always a dreamer and introverted being. Since he was very young, he felt a great interest for art, which allowed him to express his inner life.The dream of his father was that Redon become an architect, but that never happened. Although sculpture was one of his first passions, he felt very early on a closeness to painting. One of the artist that did a greater influence over him was the watercolor painter Stanislas Gorin, that was his master.R

Thomas Kinkade was born a 19th January of 1958 in Placerville (California). His parents divorced when he was 5 years old. He always felt a strong interest for art.There was not too much money in his home, and he worked as a paperboy. When he was 16 years old, he started to work as a painter apprentice of the artist Glen Wessels. His mother was his biggest support in his love for painting.After ending his College studies, he worked in the cinema making images for animation movies.In 1982 he marries with his childhood sweetheart, Nanette, with whom he will have 4 daughters: Merrit, Chandler, Winsor and Everett.

Claude Oscar Monet was born in Paris (France) in the year 1840. Since he was very young he was deeply interested in art. When he was 15 years old, he did an amateur exposition in a store in "El Havre" with some drafts.Eugene Boudin was pleasantly amazed with those drafts, and offered himself to be his teacher. Monet agreed with pleasure.Even with the opposition of his father, that hated the idea of his son being an artist, he kept on following his dreams. He had to serve for two years in a military regiment in Algeria. After this, he went to Paris to study painting. There, he met Renoir, Sisley, Bazille... painters like him that became his friends.These artists, with Monet, became great symbols of the impressionist art.These group of impressionist painters had to fight against those others that preferred a more traditional art. They used to gather in the cafe Guerbois, where they shared ideas, experiences...In the past, the painters did the drafts outdoors, and finished their artwork

She sure is one of the most sought after actors in Bollywood. Beauty with Talent is the phrase apt for Urmila Matondkar. Very few know that the beautiful actor is a painter by passion.

I think Jack has lost his mind because I said I was going to do a celebrity fashion post and he grunted at me as he was putting a big X over Lance Armstrong & Ashley Olsen on the banner. I’m scared. I’m also scared for Daphne Zuniga. Oh … my god. Did she accidentally step into her artsy grandmother’s closet this morning when she pulled that top out? The black pants are a simple touch, usually enough to help offset nearly anything but nothing is going to offset that monstrosity on her upper body. It’s like a plastic painters top that someone draped over her and tested out various types of black paints on. Post Melrose Place has not been a good place for Daphne! Maybe she should start studying more Heather Locklear paparazzi pictures? Now there’s a girl that always looks elegant. As my favorite girls at GoFugYourself would say: Fugly. Maybe even Cugly and Vugly too. I give Daphne a 3 out of 10, and ask that she give that top back to her

Of all the prominent English artists who came to international attention during the reign of Queen Victoria, Richard Dadd definitely is in a class by himself. Born in 1817, as the fourth of seven children, Dadd showed early promise as an artist and began sketching at an early age. After his family moved to London, he entered the Royal Academy of Arts at the age of twenty. Along with other artists with whom he studied, Dadd formed an important group that became known as the Clique although he remained the foremost artist among them. Their meetings throughout the 1830s and into the 1840s inspired a new style of painting that rejected academic high art and favoured more personal art that they felt should be judged by the public rather than academics. Given Dadd's developing prominence in the art world, it was only natural that he was chosen to go with his patron, Sir Thomas Phillips, as a draftsman on a planned expedition through Greece, Turkey and Egypt. The expedition that began in 18

Stefany has a new exhibit of her paintings opening this weekend at the Summit Gallery in Banff. The coolest thing about her style of painting is not just that the finished product looks cool and three dimensional, but that she works on each painting in only one go, scraping away layers of "twigs" until it's done. I wish I could afford to buy one for the new house ... hint, hint, Stef.

This tutorial should maybe have been posted at an earlier stage. However I just wanted to show all the beginners of the program these steps you should take in painter at the beginning.

I wondered how long it would take to bite the bullet and write the following review.Our house needing painting and my wife didn't want the normal blah, everyday paint job that most folk are afforded.  So she went and took advantage of her visual arts education, her natural artistic ability and made the following additions to our home. This is our kitchen before the Q. And this is the kitchen after the Q.  Same cabinets but she sanded off that yucky dark stain and put on the lighter stain.   She then painted on the textured look.      Dining Room before the paint job and After!  (yes, more textured paint)Turns out after painting these, she started painting other's homes as well.  She likes empty houses because it gives a freedom of being able to paint on her time and not have to worry about tripping over other people's clutter.  Having the art background allows her to integrate what people w

However not everybody requires the full functionality of Painter. And this is exactly what Painter Essentials is, a semi-professional, lower priced, cross-platform version of Painter.

Where does your inspiration come from?For me, a trip to the local Barnes and Noble News Stand is more than enough to fire me up about photography! With all the great US and European Photography Magazines to peruse, I am reminded that Edwin Morgan is not the only Photographer in the world ( Shocking, I Know! ) and that new ideas are not in short supply. There are more than enough people, places and things to point my camera at and it's up to me to find the inspiration and motivation to make that next great image! If Bjorn in Finland can make an entire portfolio out of artfully Blurred Holga Close-ups of his pet chicken, well then, I guess I should be able to come up with something too. And with High Speed Internet connections in most of our homes, a Photographer / Artist doesn't even have to leave their home to get a fix of Inspirational Imagery.

GREAT ARTIST OR JUST GREAT PAINTER? I think that one of the most important questions you should ask yourself when looking at investing in an artwork should be “is the creator of the artwork a great artist or just a great painter (or sculptor, drawer etc.)??”.  The reason for this question is simple, there are plenty of extremely good painters, drawers, sculptors out there whose artistic careers may never venture beyond what may be considered a hobby.  So with an art market that is driven by many factors other than aesthetics, merely buying an great painting by an amateur or hobbyist artist is very unlikely to make you any money in the future.        If you are purely interested in the aesthetics of an artwork then the term great painter and great artist are interchangeable.  But as soon as you start looking at an artwork from an investment point of view the definition of a great artist has to change because in order to make a good investment decision you need to be a

Anyway, this tutorial text is almost  exactly the same as the one in my digital painting tutorial, since the technique is the same. Here it goes: I lookd at the subjects for a minute or two, trying to absorb  it’s shapes, volume, colors and mood. After this brief time,  I started loosely sketching the main shapes with a large brush  with a 60% opacity. I used a limited amount of colors, mostly the predominant colors  in the subject. Very important at this stage, is to get all  the shapes and v

Ben Wilson, the artist who painted my portrait in the street, came round to see us last night with some beautiful photos that he took of my little portrait. They look fab, and we are going to frame them. he even placed a penny beside the picture to show the scale. Ben is such a kind, gentle man who paints pictures of dogs and children to spread a bit of joy around. So we were very upset when he told us he was arrested and charged for doing a painting last weekend in the City of London near the Millennium Bridge. Ben knows that it is not illegal to paint on chewing gum - he has been doing it for years, but the Police would not accept his explanation. They insisted on arresting him for criminal damage, handcuffed him and took him to a police station. They demanded a DNA sample and when Ben refused they took the sample by force. He has bruises on his arms and chest pains. But it gets worse - they confiscated his paints and his digital camera so at the moment he cannot even paint.

This tutorial shows how to draw create a digital illustration of a mad scientist doing a crazy experiment! I was asked to write this tutorial by CGTALK.COM for their articles section (see here). Also, this tutorial was featured on the book Digital Sci-Fi Art: A Step-by-Step Guide to Creating Stunning, Futuristic Images by Ilex Press. Notes: This illustration was part of a series of 14 images I did for a trading card game called “ShadowFist“. At the time I was also coloring pages for a comic series, thus getting these pieces done quickly was a priority. I had to lose some sleep, but it was a worthy and fun project. The card’s description called for a classic mad scientist working on some kind of gadget in his lab, with sparks and electricity all around. Given the time constraints and keeping in mind that this piece would be printed at a very small scale, less than 2 inches, I opted for a somewhat simple approach, a few foreground elements with minimal background an

Freefalletching, aquatint & drypoint 100 x 50 cms 2005copyright Ruth UglowRoyal Society of Painter-Printmakers Annual Exhibition Thu 3-May-2007 to Sun 3-Jun-2007 -----------------------------------------------------------------A celebration of the very best in contemporary fine art printmaking. The prints for sale will feature an array of techniques and styles from etching and mezzotints through to the latest digital and photographic technologies. The Society of Painter-Etchers started out in 1880, inspired by the French group of the same name which existed in Paris in the mid 1800's. The notion was brought to England by Whistler, Haden, Tissot and Legros. The latter three artists were the founders together with Macbeth, Heywood Hardy and Herkomer. They were painters, or artists, who made their own etchings, in contrast to those artist-craftsmen who earned their living by copying other better known artists' paintings in intaglio media, mezzotint mainly.Whistler apparently had a

I'm moving my blog next week to its own domain name! I'll also be changing blog software. My designer suggested I come up with my own top banner for the blog, so I thought, what better banner for a Hudson Valley Painter than a panoramic scene from one of my favorite painting spots overlooking the Hudson River! I've done tens of paintings from this location. I went through photos this morning of this overview from Boscobel, taken through many years and seasons. The photo I chose from which to paint the banner was one taken on a chilly November day. This is gouache, painted on Fabriano artistico. It's 3x12, which is about the actual size of the banner, so I had to break out the teeny tiny brushes. Next I need to break out the Nikon to get a clearer image of it! Not for sale at this time.

“The sound of water escaping from mill-dams, etc., willows, old rotten planks, slimy posts, and brickwork ... those scenes made me a painter and I am grateful.”John Constable (1776 – 1837) English painter

The latest version of Corel’s painting and illustration application features new composition tools and the RealBristle Painting System. The new version sports quite a list of additions and improvements, notably the RealBristle Painting System that’s said to faithfully replicate traditional art media via individual bristles that respond similarly to their real-world counterparts. New composition tools include the Divine Proportion composition tool, which provides guidelines that follow the Divine Proportion, or (Golden Ratio). A new Layout Grid composition tool provides guidelines that follow photography's Rule of Thirds, and can be customized to other grid patterns. Corel Painter X is currently available for pre-order for $429 on the Corel site. A Limited Edition version supplied in the Classic Painter can, which also includes the complete Learning Corel Painter X with Jeremy Sutton DVD-ROM, the Corel Painter X collectors poster and the Corel Painter X Composition tool, i

One of the first things you should do if you havent done so already, is to find out what types of brushes you like. This is important, because there are so many brushes to choose from, and they will give you lots of different results. And before you can go ahead and create high quality art, you need to master a set of brushes. I really RECOMMEND that you do the following: Go to this site, scroll down to "Corel Painter-related goodies" and : find ROBS BRUSHES hereYou will seriously thank me if you havent downloaded these brushes before, they are in my opinion EXCELLENT ;)I recently found another site that offer you some sets of brushes, that I havent tried out yet. I will download them instantly and try them out, you should do the same buddy ;). Then go here, drag your mouse over the smal menu-bar , and then the picture that comes up, and press download ;) I will go and do the same now, damn im excited, new brushes to investigate ;)

If you are completely new, and dont know a thing about Corel Painter. This post is for you.Ok, so you know that almost every 2D digital artist you know uses Adobe Photoshop, but whats the deal with Painter, you may ask. And why am I so hung up on this program!? Here comes the answer =)Some people prefer Painter because it handles very similar to real life art tools. Its so realistic that it gives a nice feel, that every artist new or skilled will enjoy. Photoshop has to me always been a more Photography/graphic design-centric software, and although they've added more advanced characteristics for the drawing/painting people, it is very digital and does not function like real life art tools. It's safe to say a personal preference thing. I prefer Painter for drawing & painting because the way the brushes react is far more dynamic than Photoshop's brushes.Painter has like I said a great resemblence to natural media tools: Pastels looks like a real pastel, watercolor looks like watercolo

Yes, so you say to yourself "Im totally new to this, whats the quickest and best way to learn this type of software!?". I must admit that before I became a true Painter fan, I too used adobe Photoshop. And they way I learned that program, was to watch their "Total training dvds". Then you wont miss a thing, it is professionals that go thru every aspect of the program, and train you up to master all the somewhat difficult techniques. Ok enough about Photoshop already. I meant to say that Corel Painter has ofcourse several professional training dvd`s aswell. And here are you can find them: computer-training-software.com & Official Painter site, with a bunch of high quality tutorials on DVD and in books.

If you want to get motivated to really learn and be a good digital artist. You couldjust look at what this guy named Ryan Church can do with his copy of Painter.Go to his website and have a look: Also get download his painter brushes, and his dvd`s are high quality as well!! You dont get much more pro than him. He has worked for all the big companies like Walt Disney Imagineering, Universal Studios, Industrial Light + Magic and so on and so on.For more painter artists that are truly amazing go to this site: Corel Painter MastersThere you have it tons of inspiration to get you going ;)

Well well, This post is for all you people out there, who havent even seen how the interface is in Corel Painter. And I always feel when entering into a new program, that it is important with good looking interface. Or else it might get rather confusing and difficult to use. This picture is taken from the Corel Painter IX version.

This blog will give you all the information you need to know about Corel Painter.Either you are completely new to the program or not, this site should certainly be useful. In addition to useful tips, painter news. I will also give you links, pictures, downloadable content, and lots lots more in the future, so stay tuned !! ;)The idea of creating this site, started ofcourse with a great interest for the program. Corel Painter and the newest version Corel Painter IX.5, is in my mind greatly underestimated. Its big brother Photoshop made by adobe, has for a long time dominated the market. And it is sadly still much much more popular than Painter.Therefore you should certainly pay attention, and see for your self how great this digital software really is.  

Now there's a blast from the past! I thought it was high time we find out about some of the older/obscurer works of Jennifer Ehle. Beware of some negative bits.DouglasHenshall.com has several reviews. Here are the relevant exerpts."Jennifer Ehle is fine indeed as the wife Serafina, voice and bodice a-tremble as she is racked between the demands of love and honour. ""As Serafina, Jennifer Ehle's bosom heaves affectingly apparently possessed by a fear of death as much as dishonour, hardly surprising given that a figure of death in a red mask pops up at all the best parties.""Jennifer Ehle - equipped with strikingly beautiful cheekbones and breasts - is so constrained by Serafina's high nobility that she almost never once sounds natural. ""Jennifer Ehle, Douglas Henshall, Clifford Rose and others resist the temptation to send it all up, which is much to their credit: and John Carlisle goes further. His Don Juan ends up in one of those moral predictaments so loved by Spanish Golden Age

A blonde, wanting to earn some money, decided to hire herself out as a handyman-type and started canvassing a wealthy neighborhood. She went to the front door of the first house and asked the owner if he had any jobs for her to do. "Well, you can paint my porch. How much will you charge?" The blonde said, "How about 50 dollars?" The man agreed and told her that the paint and ladders that she might need were in the garage. The man's wife, inside the house, heard the conversation and said to her husband, "Does she realize that the porch goes all the way around the house?" The man replied, "She should. She was standing on the porch." A short time later, the blonde came to the door to collect her money. "You're finished already?" he asked. "Yes," the blonde answered, "and I had paint left over, so I gave it two coats. "Impressed, the man reached in his pocket for the $50. "And by the way," the blonde added, "that's not a Porch, it's a Ferrari."

Painter Power?Hi all,Just a quick(ish) word to mention this week's new release of Corel Painter X. Anybody who's ever used Corels superlative painting software to recreate natural media will know that no other painting software comes even close Yes I know Adobe Photoshop is probably the industry leader in photographic and image manipulation. However, when it comes to the business of replicating oils, acrylics or pastels (to mention just a few) Painter is the natural choice for artists, illustrators and anyone wishing to unleash their creative talents via the PC.Anyway, I've just downloaded the free 30 day trial (I just love trying out new software!) and I'll let you know exactly what I think in the very near future! If you fancy trying it yourself (Go on, give it a bash) simply follow this link to the Corel download page… Corel Painter X have fun. I know I will!Catch you laterShirley
