That being said, it is very..nice to read the compliments from my friends here on DA. I work at a job that has a very..unflattering..uniform, so I spend about 8 hours a a day feeling...not pretty. So, thanks for making me feel pretty.

That being said, back to the art work for me. A pretty face only gets you so far

"Despite all appearances and talk to the contrary, we crave art that captures truth and remains powerfully and beautifully relevant long past the time of its creation. This sort of art is not just pretty or made up of hollow aesthetic beauty that changes with they eye of the beholder. It is not sentimental, for sentiment is fleeting. The sort of art that lives eternally is that which captures astonishing, spine-chilling, breathtaking beauty that heightens our senses and floods us with transforming thought and emotion. In this work, we hear a whisper from another world saying "It's all real." The ache to last means you were meant to last; the longing for beauty calls you because beauty marks a reality that actually exists."


I definitely recommend this book! Mine just arrived int he mail and it is fabulous!

1. Don't strive to draw photographically...strive to draw artistically. Look at drawings you like (Michaelangelo, Degas, to name a few) and try to use some of the technique the artist you admire did. If you like red chalk drawings by Waterhouse, try doing a piece in red chalk. Take what you like from any artist and put it into your work.

2. Choose a good photo. Make sure there is a sense of light and shadow. It is hard to work from "studio" photos and have them look natural (especially very posed pictures of children). Bad lighting on a photo will usually equal a bad drawing.

3. Take time to analyze the pose of the person in the photo. Don't just copy the 2 dimensional. Think about how that is a 3 dimensional head in space. Imagine you are sculpting that head. Try to think about the forms as if you could touch them.

4. Allow yourself to warm up before jumping right in to working on a long piece from a photo. Do some "gesture drawings" from the photo. Try to get the essence of the pose and the emotion. Make some thumbnails to show composition. When you are ready to work on the final piece...PLAN YOUR DRAWING. There is nothing worse than starting from the eyeball and realizing you can't fit the head on the page! Start with a plan.


That's what I have so far..any advice welcome...

I was looking at some works by Dennis Miller Bunker today, and I was entranced by the way he painted light on a teapot. It was amazing, slithering lines of light and shadow. It was sensual. It was everything an abstract painter might strive for but at the same time representational of a time and place and subject.

A good painting (or drawing) gives me chills. I want to drink it in..I want to be in the moment of that painter painting that piece. It gives me faith in humanity.

" It is difficult to explain what is wrong with an academic drawing, and what is the difference between it and a fine drawing. But perhaps this difference can be brought home a little more clearly if you will pardon a rather fanciful simile. I am told that if you construct a perfectly fitted engine-the piston fitting the cylinder with absolute accuracy and the axles their sockets with no space between &c. - it will not work, but be a lifeless mass of iron. There must be enough play between the vital parts to allow some movement; "dither"...It has always seemed to me that the accurately fitting engine was like a good academic drawing, in a way a perfect piece of workmanship, but lifeless. Imperfectly perfect, because there was no room left for the play of life. And to carry the simile further, if you allow too great a play between the parts, so they fit one over the other too loosely, the engine will lose power and become a poor rickety thing.



Everyone should check out his drawing book and his painting book as well.

They said in their rejection letter that we could request a copy of what the judges said about our work.

Wanna know what they said???

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

Apparently they made NO comments on my work.


Well thank you. That really helps me in my artistic career.

They had NOTHING to say. And these are the people giving the grants??! They had months and months to come to their decisions, and yet couldn't take the time out to give ANY criticism or advise??

I will tell you what makes me mad. Seeing some of the stuff they gave grants to yet they don't have the balls to tell me they don't like my work because it's TRADITIONAL.

I am holding back the expletives.

I applied for a grant.

And I didn't get it. No surprise.

I guess what hurts the most is NOT ONE traditional representational painter was honored.

This was a state run grant.

They went for all kooky, off the wall stuff.

No beautiful landscapes, no amazing portrait, not breathtaking still life.

Thats what hurts.

I hate the art scene in this time.

I never had a chance.

I don't know everything. That is the one thing I know. I know a good bit about drawing and I am learning a lot about painting. I feel that I have picked up some good tips over the years and i try to share them with other artists.

My favorite thing about Deviantart is finding other artists who are trying to figure out things and helping them with what I might know.

I do think I am pretty good at what I do. I have SOOOOOO much to learn. Every day is learning. I am like anyone else where somedays I think I am really good..and then 15 minutes later I think I am the worst.

I guess I am very strong minded about liking representational art. I think everyone should learn how to draw..learn the basics before you improvise.

I don't know how much longer I am going to be on Deviantart..and this isn't a cry for sympathy..I'm just not sure it's good for me anymore.

I don't hate digital art. In fact, I think people can do AMAZING things with it. I have seen digital pieces that I wouldn't know were not paintings had I not been told.

That being said, I think digital mediums is at an disadvantage because there is no art object. There is no original. It's great for a magazine or book or internet page, but how does one view such a piece in a museum? The piece is ALWAYS at the mercy of a machine, either a printer or a monitor. I do not think a printer can create the subtleties that a human hand and a brush can.

Also, we come to the point that there are layers of paint built up on a surface, which creates a dimensional build up of paint. A printer cannot do that. That's why you see giclees painted over with clear acrylic "brushwork"!

It is sad to me that today people don't know that some things being sold in gallerys are actually computer print outs. They should know that giclee is not a type of paint...its a print!

Its a fascinating discussion, one that will go on for a long time I'm sure.

Just give me my brushes and I'll be fine.

Many art teachers (at least in the USA) cannot draw to save their lives because they were taught by teachers who couldn't draw. This starts a cycle of teachers who can't teach teaching art student who in turn become teachers because they didn't learn anything and thats the only way they can make money. If you really want to learn to express yourself WHY BOTHER TO GO TO COLLEGE?? If that is all you need for art then you can do it on your own. Private Ateliers are the way to go if you really want to learn art. At least their teachers are talented professionals.
That's about it. I cannot wait for art to take a swing back towards the representational. It is going to happen because people are SICK of the bullshit that is modern art.
I recommend the book "The Painted Word" by Tom Wolf for anyone who sees a glimmer of truth in what I am saying here.
I'm gonna go paint now.

Right now I am attending the Schulkill Academy of Fine Art [link]

full time. It is seriously the best thing I have ever done in my life to further my artistic pursuits. The atmosphere is awesome and positive. The students are there to learn and always eager to help and discuss art. AND the teachers (Kevin and Stuart) are both amazing and insightful.

I strongly reccomend anyone in the Philly area to check it out, especially if youa re interested in drawing or sculpting the human figure.

That being said, the new pieces I have done were all done there. Enjoy!

It is an essential reference for the artist, and it is a very good read. I am going to quote some of it for all the loyal readers of this journal (haha)

" Every beautiful work of art is a new creation, the result of particular circumstances in the life of the artist and the time of its production, that have never existed before and will never recur again."


On originality:
"Originality is more concerned with sincerity than with peculiarity"
(think about it....)

On "convention"

"For a really unconventional art there is Madame Tussauds Waxworks. There, even the convention of a frame and flat surface are done away with, besides the painted symbols to represent things.They have real natural chairs, tables, floors, real clothes and even real hair. Realism is everywhere, but no life. And we all know the result. There is more expression of life in a few lines scribbled on paper by a good artist than in all the reality of the popular show."


"Pictures are blamed for being conventional when it is a lack of vitality, that is the trouble. If the convention adopted has not been vitalised by the emotion that is the reason of the painting, it will, of course, be a lifeless affair."


if anyone actually read that they get a cookie.

i learned an important lesson today kids.

you are only as good as your materials.

trying to learn to paint with dirt cheap paint is like trying to learn an instrument that doesn't play all the notes. you are crippling yourself.

I didnt realize how bad the Winton oil paints were until I purchased all new professional quality paints. damn. it is like a whole new medium.

In conclusion, if you want to be really good at something, if you want to make it your life, it is going to cost you money. that is the way of the world.

I will not be posting any oils for a while because I am now re learning everything. I am starting from level 0.

We might make out when nobody's there

So why do you fill my sorrow
With the words you've borrowed
From the only place you've known
And why do you sing Hallelujah
If it means nothing to you
Why do you sing with me at all?

We might live like never before
When there's nothing to give
Well how can we ask for more
We might make love in some sacred place
The look on your face is delicate

So why do you fill my sorrow
With the words you've borrowed
From the only place you've known
And why do you sing Hallelujah
If it means nothing to you
Why do you sing with me at all?

So why do you fill my sorrow
With the words you've borrowed

Why do you sing with me at all?

don't ever let anyone tell you you aren't good enough. don't let them bring you down because of your inexperience. Know that life is learning, and art is learning. everyday you get better if you put in the time.

i think of those who put me down as a young artist, those didnt look at my potential and wrote me off.

you know what? Fuck them.

if you have a drive to create and you pay your dues by practicing and studying then no one can stop you.

and your work will be a big fuck you to those who didn't believe in you.

be sure to keep the people who do believe in you around, they are priceless.

thats what I have to say.

i wish scanners did justice to watercolor though...it just does not look as good on the screen as it does on paper...I may play around and scan it again.

enjoy

working on "Merlin's Daughter"it is emerging nicely from the paper...still needs about 6 hours though.

Hopefully nice things are coming my way... ]]> ~ivewaitedforyou http://ivewaitedforyou.deviantart.com/journal/4193118/ http://ivewaitedforyou.deviantart.com/journal/4193118/ Thu, 30 Dec 2004 12:11:37 PST ~ivewaitedforyou http://ivewaitedforyou.deviantart.com/journal/4138891/ http://ivewaitedforyou.deviantart.com/journal/4138891/ Thu, 23 Dec 2004 18:12:34 PST ~ivewaitedforyou http://ivewaitedforyou.deviantart.com/journal/4071591/ http://ivewaitedforyou.deviantart.com/journal/4071591/ Wed, 15 Dec 2004 07:59:01 PST
1. Dont draw other people's characters for a living. it is ok to practice by drawing other people's characters..but you'll get so much more respect if you make your own.

2. Don't get stuck in one style at first. if you are just learning, try everything.

3. Take life drawing, and draw real people not celebs. everyone knows that if you draw anelina jolie you were not working from life (and if you were you are really lucky). Pester your friends and family to model for you. The real thing is SO much better than photogrpahs...who wants to be a human photocopier anyway?

4. Look at people outside of your "style", you might find something you really like.

5. Find artists in real life to meet with and work with. You will grow artistically and personally. ]]> ~ivewaitedforyou http://ivewaitedforyou.deviantart.com/journal/4065289/ http://ivewaitedforyou.deviantart.com/journal/4065289/ Tue, 14 Dec 2004 11:54:37 PST
