30 Paintings in 30 Days

Hi guys,

I've decided to bite the bullet and sign up for Leslie Saeta's 30 in 30 Challenge for September. I'd recommend to give it a go. I'm looking forward to it a great deal and am keen to see some progression in that time. I've chosen a theme of "Rivers of the World". I think the theme will make it easier to prepare for and really see some advancement in technique when tackling the same kind of subject matter over and over. I'm going to choose various sizes along the way too. I figure is way ill use up scrappy smaller pieces of paper that are laying around as well as some larger works. I plan to keep them very loose and lively and I'll try not to get bogged down in detail. This should be a great learning curve and an excellent way of connecting with the worldwide art community and ultimately, increase the fan base to hopefully sell more work and step away from the day job.. Aaaaaah we can dream! 
Check out the link to the site that has all the information and click LIKE on all the relevant Facebook pages too. What a great initiative this is and on behalf of artists around the world, thank you to Leslie Saeta and the Artists Helping Artists crew. We appreciate the opportunity to mingle.

Winterlude - 10 Years On

Image
I was fortunate enough to travel a couple of hours down the freeway to Sydney last week to check out an exhibition of work from five fantastic artists, three of which are among my absolute favourites.  In the Winterlude exhibit, held at Artarmon Galleries, you get to peruse the work of Joseph Zbukvic, Herman Pekel, Alvaro Castagnet, Nic Canosa and Patrick Carroll. What can I say? The work was both beyond inspirational and in some cases, beyond amazing. Incredible. Having only seen their work on computer and TV screens up to this point, it was truly an eye-opener to see them in the flesh. The detail (or lack there of) that you miss on the screen is what makes all the difference. What I mean by that is the middle ground detail in a lot of their work is all based around correct perspective and tone. The detail of a crowded cafe, for example, is merely a combination of brush strokes and shapes made with the right tones and the right proportions. It is staggering at how important the ...

Top 10 Characteristics of an Art Snob

This one isn't my story but I couldn't have said it better myself. More on this topic to come, I'm sure. Thanks to Dick Van Vector for the words. The Link to the original story is at the bottom of the post. Cheers...    TW Don't think that racist-rednecks and sports jocks exhaust the landscape of jerkery. The artsy-fartsy genera also boasts its share of loudmouthed puffery. If you want to smell the foul effluvia of this intellectualistic puffery, a great place to go is to an art gallery. At art galleries, you are likely to find a certain type of person, who I am calling the 'Art Snob.' Art Snobs are true jerks. In fact, at the relatively-pompous Edinburgh National Gallery in Scotland, I saw more than a fair flock of Art Snobs, and after giving it some thought, I came up with a few features that seem to unify this self-righteous cabal. 10.  Turtlenecks . Summer is hot and sweaty, but the Art Snob will probably wear a turtleneck anyway. Though a lot of pe...
