This female Pasadena portraitist has trouble with most of her unpredictable subjects every time she does a painting of them. Polite and patient poses as mother did for whistler is not something that these thoroughbreds can do. These eager little clients are always raging to be out and about, signaling when the sitting will be over, giving the lady portraitist a very short while to pore through and assess his exquisite features then off he goes after a short, loud bark or maybe a scratch at a flea he thinks he has.

She does most of her preliminary sketches on the sunny second floor of the 67 year old house she occupies with her spouse and uses an instant camera as well, and this truly works in making sure that her portraits of these dog subjects are accurate. With her experience in both cats and dog subjects, she has realized that some poses stand out. Superior posers are the thoroughbreds who have experienced dog shows and have been well trained but they also seem to be quite vain with how they look like.

Thoroughbreds are mostly in her clientele roster. The superior skeletal structure and coat shades of thoroughbreds are far easier to paint than most mongrels. This lady portraitist reveals that her favorite subjects are the ones with short hair and nice body structures, the purebred hounds.Such subjects also have excellent expressions making her enjoy them more.

More than anything, she is also the local observatory’s technical illustrator and a landscape artist using watercolor as preferred medium. A well known gallery houses her best works of art. After studying at an art institute based in New York, she became an expert in magazine illustration.One of her best teachers asked her to try painting pooches.

Proving that she is a true animal lover, she would enjoy being at dog shows in New York and using first hand information, she would sketch and study carefully these various dog breeds.For her first commission, she was tasked by a rich New York City dowager to immortalize her beloved pooch in a portrait. The painting of the dog which was felice signed took its place beside the lady dowager’s original Rembrandt and Frans Hals paintings after it was framed elegantly. She successfully launched a sketchbook featuring the American kennel club’s listed breeds along with its studies and descriptions.

Mostly, this artist renders her pooch muses in pastel and barely in oil and charcoal.Christmas is when she gets flooded with portrait assignments.

Just like painters of human beings, she readily admits to flattering her non human subjects just a little bit. Currently being raised by her and her retired electrical engineer spouse are purebred hounds known as salukis, whose line are found as early as the time of ancient Persia and Egypt.

Color Is Very Important In Painting.

By awnpromo  //  Art  //  No Comments

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.

Painting In The Interior. Decorate Your House!

By awnpromo  //  Art  //  1 Comment

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.

Frame Has Great Importance For Picture.

By awnpromo  //  Art  //  No Comments

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.

Format Of Art Works In Painting.

By awnpromo  //  Art  //  No Comments

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.

By awnpromo  //  Art  //  No Comments

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.

The Concept And History Of Romanticism.

By awnpromo  //  Art  //  2 Comments

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!
