I've been working on what I call "elements" in painting. A brushstroke is an element. In this series, I'm playing with brushwork to see if applying watercolor with a charged brush can indicate an animal that holds a lot of life. All the defining comes in the brushwork, stroke, amount of color as well as the characteristic of the color. In this case I'm using sepia, which is a wonderful warmish

I've been painting lately. I have completed five small paintings thus far, in acrylic. Aaaahhh!! It's been a lot of fun!Edited to add:I should probably also mention that I spent the better part of this evening trouble-shooting. I have an Epson Photo Stylus R1800 and was having some major output issues -- you should have seen what I was getting instead of prints.

Budi Kustarto, showing his work for the first time in China, had barely finished hanging his oil paintings last week at the country's premier art fair when a group of Indonesian collectors snapped them up."Ice Cream Cake,'' a 2008 oil painting depicting the Indonesian artist climbing out of a melting parfait, sold, together with a statue and three canvases, for up to $80,000 each. Compatriot Eko Nugroho sold six works at the China International Gallery Exposition and Thai artist Natee Utarit sold all five of his paintings."Ice cream conveys the speed that materialism is taking over our society,'' Kustarto said in Beijing. "It's an image that many Chinese can relate to.'' Two weeks ago, his "Tricycle Ice Cream'' sold at Sotheby's in Hong Kong for HK$847,500 ($108,777) including commission,

By Sam D'costaThink modern paintings, or more precisely, think Asian modern paintings, and you will find yourself thinking about Vietnamese modern paintings. Contemporary Vietnamese art, in recent years, has become quite a force to reckon with. Ever since its recent emancipation from its socio-political shackles which have long kept it confined to a rather provincial existence, Vietnamese modern art has blossomed in its full glory before an awed international audience.Indeed, there is no looking back for Vietnam now. It is moving forward. However, it is not just looking forward towards the future. There is an element of retrospection involved also. Thus, the modern Vietnamese perspective comprises not just looking ahead, but also looking back, in an effort to sort out the past.Till recent

The earliest oil paintings ever found have been discovered on the walls of caves in Afghanistan, researchers said this week. Until now, art historians had thought oil painting originated in Europe in the 15th century. But these images of Buddha in vermillion robes date back to the seventh century. Continue

Can you smell the roses and linseed oil? There's a linen-fresh and sometimes, new mossy scent in the spring art air this week, a sign that this season's winter of artfully messy assemblage has started to off-gas a little and will soon be dragged back to the street from whence it came. At least that's the smell I'm picking up from the big boys and girls of New York's art critical print press, many of whom are publicly exhaling their weariness with the Unmonumentals and Whitneys of our late winter's discontent and are now bathing in the refreshing glows of Olafur Eliasson and elsewhere, all the small paintings.

Though sometimes referred to as the “anti-classical” movement in art, Romanticism is a style that focuses on the artist’s individualistic and emotionally wrought point of view, and is found to oppose the art movement known as Neoclassicism.

Pansy Trio, 6x6in, acrylic Spring Pansies, 10x10, acrylic Just Us Three, 20x24, acrylicPansies are one of the great delights of spring. Different than daffodils that seem formal, like trumpets announcing the arrival of a monarch, pansies seem unassuming and filled with good cheer like the villagers and peasants lining the street to catch a glimpse of their King or Queen, gazing with smiling faces lifted up. Lately, I've tried out painting this year's pansies in three sizes, in the first two the pansies are pretty much life size but in the third the pansies have become super-sized and have the presence of guests in your home.Speaking of flower paintings, I came across this site to share with you, it's ARTinthePICTURE.com and they have a page of the TOP 10 FLOWER PAINTINGS (of all times pr

We have 4 original paintings by Jack Flynn listed online right now. We don't know much about him. His Watercolor Paintings and impressionist style for Landscapes and street scenes are very good. Need more info though.
This is what we know already:
The Highwaymen artists are/were a collection of African American artists from Fort Pierce, Florida who painted vivid landscapes and Florida scenes. They painted from the 1950's to the 1970's and their works were sold commercially in galleries but mostly from the trunks of cars to passing motorists. These artists were masters at capturing Florida sunrises and sunsets.
The question is are there other artists out there other than those listed in many websites. We got a few Carribean Style paintings, and we don't believe its hatian art.
Original artwork, especially antique paintings are holding their value and are a good item to know about. We find that there are several criteria to evaluating an antique painting. First, is it a quality piece? Is it something that draws you to it when you first see it? Second, is it signed? Third, is it in the original frame? Fourth, does it look untouched from the back?
What do you look for when examining an antique painting?

What colours are easiest to read? which show off my paintings the best? - so it's not just a general preference but related to the work of mine that I'm showing.Some people find it difficult to read text on a dark background - I find the glare of white tiring - I've been playing with the different templates and though none are quite right, this one still seems to be the best for my work. The white background looked ok but dazzling. The blues killed some of the paintings and the beige and browns didn't work either.

Many of Velazquez’s early works are influenced by Caravaggio. But later on, the Caravaggio elements are simply one of the many ingredients in Velazquez’s unique style.

From the first quarter of the nineteenth century, Velázquez’s artwork was [...]
