New Art Technique – Bas Relief Painting

Filed under: Literature — Tags: , , — arts @ 9:56 pm

Art has been around in many forms for a long time now. Even ancient civilizations like Egyptians or Mayans use to practice arts in forms of rock sculpture or painting or even literature which dates back to 2100 B.C. Music has been around for quite some time also.

However one of the latest arts that has been born in the last century is Cinematography, the art of creating motion pictures, also knows as films, or more commonly, movies.

The “foundations” of an art is generally called talent. That’s right, not everyone is cut to be an artist of any kind, you just need to have that special something. It is very hard to learn how to become an artist without being born with the talent required. For example, when I was a little kid, in elementary school, I just couldn’t understand how other kids couldn’t draw a perfect circle when it all seemed so easy for me, so therefore, a talent must be recognized by other because in many cases an individual could have a particular talent without even knowing it.

I have been an artist, for what, 20 years now… I always liked to draw thing, and I did.. a lot. So I was getting better and better. After high school I even took art classes and started painting with oil on canvas. After that I just liked it so much, paintings were coming and going.

Several years ago, while I was at the countryside, just sitting and chilling in a cool summer evening, an idea suddenly came to my mind. I started thinking about the new 3D technology I saw back then at news, so I wondered how would that look like combined with paintings. So I did some research, and found about about bas relief sculptures. bas-relief actually means “low relief” represents the quality of a projected image where the overall depth is shallow and the background is compressed or completely flat.

After doing the research, I began testing methods to combine the bas-relief technique with a painting. My idea was to grant a wall painting the properties of bas-relief. First I tried using gypsum on a special canvas… but unfortunately the end result wasn’t what I expected. The weight of the modeled art was too big, so therefore I had to rethink it. After some time I had another great idea on what material to use and the final result was outstanding, five times less weight, it was perfect.

Soon after that, in a few months I made about 30 of these paintings and had an exhibition in the local museum. It all went so good all the people were impressed so I didn’t even wonder why at least half of them were sold in a couple of days.

Reverse Glass Painting – Centuries Old Art Form

Filed under: Literature — Tags: , , — arts @ 6:09 pm

Reverse glass painting is the art of painting an image on the reverse side of a piece of glass or glass object so that the image can be viewed from the unpainted side. It has been done since early in the sixteenth century in Europe, and was known in China during the early 18th century.

This style of painting has been used for religious art, abstract art, clock faces, realistic landscapes, and scenes with people and portraits. It is a very exacting art form, especially when done as a realistic painting. The image is actually painted in reverse order on the glass. The finishing details of the painting must be put on the glass first, and must be done accurately as this is immediately covered with the next phase of the painting. So for a portrait reverse glass painting, the pupil of the eye would be painted first, then the eye, and so on in reverse order, finishing with the background. When the glass is turned over, the actual intended image is viewed from the unpainted side. Unlike stained glass, these paintings are meant to be mounted on a wall with light shown on them, instead of light going through them.

As best as art historians can determine, reverse glass painting evolved in Austria, the Black Forest region, and Romania in central Europe. And northern Spain, central and southern Italy in southern Europe. These paintings were generally created in small village family workshops, with fewer paintings produced by larger shops in large cities. Many of the images painted were of religious subjects in the beginning of the art form.

In the early 19th century the art form spread to other areas and appeared in the Middle East and West Africa. Areas where Islam flourished produced many reverse glass paintings. These paintings depicted scenes from Old Testament stories, stories and quotations from the Qu’ran.

The first documentation of reverse glass painting in China is in the writings of some Jesuit missionaries stationed there in the middle of the 18th century. Some say that it was the missionaries themselves that introduced the art in China, but art historians doubt that. The missionaries wrote about various art forms known in China when they arrived, and reverse glass painting was already being done in China upon their arrival. The exact time when the art form reached China is not documented in any known Chinese art history literature. There is evidence that Chinese glass painting was never considered a serious form of art by the Chinese themselves. Glass paintings used in China were usually located in restaurants or other public places and seldom in homes of the Chinese themselves. Much of it was also done for sale to tourists and foreigners.

With the innovations of photography and forms of printing in the middle of the 19th century, glass painting began to decline. There has been a recent resurgence in the art form, and reverse glass paintings are now being done in China, India and the world over.

Abstract Expressionism as a movement, painting, be quickly established artists generally paint, and by force to their huge canvases in an attempt to feelings and emotions, not the gestural painting, geometrically, sometimes applying paint with large brushes, sometimes dripping show or even threw them on the canvas. If you've never heard this term, chances are you've seen an example. Jackson Pollack, Mark Rothko and Clyfford Still, among the most renownedCharacters and their songs, often skirt the line between art as product and art as a process.

As anyone knows, wants to appear intelligent, rejected the abstract expressionism as unskilled, useless and stupid is a bad idea. Many intelligent people love abstract expressionism, and will stop at nothing to explain to you that the only reason why we like because it is not clear. Instead of trying to provide an impossible battle, why not learn a bit 'more aboutSchool of abstract expressionism.

What's noteworthy: You are in a room full of pieces equally mysterious. Some have embellishments, while others showcase smeared. Often, many pieces are similar, displaying a different color. The best way to decide which piece to approximate the size and shape. The bigger the ego, the greater should be your choice. When the museum is a picture big enough to control your ego, is that, after the Jackson Pollack host section.

How to stand:Opposed, of course.

What to say: depending on the number of people nearby, may be useful to make a comment or to discuss the work of art. Try to wait for someone else to speak first. If he / she asks you a direct reaction, use non-committal words like "fascinating", "parallel" and "structured". If you feel the need to obtain specific, not responding to the voice, like a Rorschach test and explains what you combine with. Furthermore, in order to evaluate how a birdCloud, trying to find familiar shapes in chaos. Nothing sounds less intellectual, "looks like a duck." (Unless the name of the song is called "Study in Duck." But even in that case would be the best, commented, "The sounds are so tame-esque.")

When Bash: It's never easy to decide when to pull something, and a good rule is to negative comments from a large sip of wine, if you are frustrated to be avoided. A few minutes pass, and suddenly you're drunk.At the same time, art is not so bad. If you need to bash something, do it in a weak, so proud. Note that the work of artist A derivative of a stylish, dark and abstract expressionism. Or say something like, "Oh my God, I really preferred the aesthetics of California." Does not mean that the school itself is crazy. Never insult her supporters. They are intelligent, organized and very vindictive.
