Watercolors

Debbie S asked:


I found an original watercolor and on the back it says Yamada Booke or Boske who exhibited at Sifits of Columbus in 1922. It is a street scene with huts and trees and 2 asian women walking. I was hoping to find out something about the artist. Unfortunately it was matted on cardboard and has darkened over time, but still a beautiful piece.

Few things in the United States are as beautiful and breathtaking as the New England coastline, and there is perhaps no better way to portray this shoreline or the oceans dynamic splendor than with an oil painting. In the best seascape art you can feel the breeze, hear the seagulls and see the depth of the water; but it takes an extremely talented and experienced artist to recreate this sense on canvas. Throughout history artists like English J. M. W. Turner and American born Winslow Homer have captured the magical essence of our earth’s oceans and tributaries with their unique abilities, brush stroke techniques and use of color.  For most art lovers, the affordability of original artwork by classic artists is unfortunately untouchable, but the good news is there are many talented and passionate artists with works of art available and affordable for all budgets.  Following are several thoughts you should keep in mind when purchasing art.

Know what you are purchasing – always make sure you understand exactly what you’re purchasing. Take a note of what kind of material the artwork is created on (canvas, watercolor paper, wood, etc), as well as what kind of medium was used (oil painting, watercolor, pastel, acrylic, pencil, charcoal, ink). If you are unable to determine this by looking, don’t be afraid to ask the artist or dealer what it is.

Buy what you like – as long as it is within your budget (see below), feel free to purchase art which reflects your interests and personality instead of worrying about styles or trends.

Buy paintings that match your current interior - when shopping for art for a specific part of your home, try to keep in mind the color scheme, current decorations and the style of furniture utilized in your home, be it contemporary or conservative.

Never exceed your budget – it’s important to remember what your exact budget is at all times. If there are funds leftover after an initial art purchase, think of saving your funds for that must-have sunset painting you’ve had your eye on as you next investment.

Questions to Ask the Seller:

Who is the artist – many times you will encounter the artist themselves selling their own original paintings and prints, but other times you may be dealing with a reseller or dealer.

Is the artwork signed and or numbered – original works of art are typically signed by the artist.  If a signature is not readily visible, ask about the signature and if it is original artwork or a reproduction.  If it is a reproduction, inquire if the print is a limited edition (therefore numbered) as these are typically worth more than a simple print reproduction.

Ask for contact information – if you like the artist’s works don’t be afraid to ask for a business card, email, website or a gallery where their art is on display. Having the ability to see more of the artist’s work can give you a better sense of who the artist is and what motivates them.

Best Places to Hang Seascape Art:

Deciding on where to place your new art can be an even more difficult task than deciding on what piece to buy; but there are some rooms that are better suited to one particular painting or another.

Living room – A showcase piece of artwork typically is on display in this room as this space is valued as an area of importance for most owners.

Den/Great room – the most lived in room of the house (besides the kitchen), should display your most favorite paintings or prints as it is the place that sees the most action.

Kitchen – typically the heart of every home should present art that satisfy the needs of the heart and soul of its owners as any culinary masterpiece satisfies the stomach.

Bathroom – this room is a place of personal hygiene, self-image and quietude.  Artwork should reflect the personality and rationale of the persons using this room.

Bedroom – another private living area of the home which should truly reflect the personalities of the people who live there. Thoughtful, serene and age appropriate artwork is best utilized in this room of rest and personal reflection.

Ralph Serpe asked:


Acrylic paint, when compared with other mediums like oil paint, is a fairly new addition to the world of painting. It has only been around since the 1950’s . It has been continually under development and refinement since that time. Just because acrylic paint has not been around as long as oils, does not make these paints less important or enjoyable.

Some of the wonderful benefits of using acrylic paints are their versatility, permanence and ease of use. These paints can be applied thickly as an impasto or in thin washes similar to watercolor. Acrylic paint does not yellow or harden with age like oils.

Another reason artists love to work with acrylics is their fast drying time. Since acrylic paint dries so quickly, colors can be applied and layered quicker than oil paints. But with this fast drying time comes a few disadvantages:

1) The paint will not remain workable for very long, so you have to work fast.

2) Brushes can be ruined if you do not clean them right away.

3) If you plan to paint outdoors, then acrylic paint is probably not the best medium to use, especially on a hot sunny day. When you lay out your colors on a palette or other surface, they will begin to dry quickly forming skins on the surface, making them quite difficult to work with.

ACRYLIC PAINTING TECHNIQUES

Watercolor Effects

Many artists like to use acrylics in a fluid state, similar to watercolor. There is a notable difference though. With acrylics, washes can be layered on top of one another without fear of disturbing the colors underneath. You must wait for one layer to dry completely before applying another of course. Once each layer dries it becomes insoluble in water. One disadvantage to using acrylics as a watercolor medium is the difficulty in modifying the color. Once acrylic paint begins to dry it becomes very difficult to modify and washes can sometime dry with unwanted hard edges. You can avoid this problem in one of two ways. You can either dampen the paper before the paint is applied or you can use an additional brush dampened with water. Use one brush to apply the paint and immediately soften the edge with the other brush that has been dampened with the water.

Pouring & Dripping Technique

This technique was made popular by the master painter Jackson Pollock in the late 1940’s and early 1950’s. You use a very fluid acrylic paint for this technique. You can pour it directly on the canvas or dip a brush into the paint and let it drip down onto the canvas. You can create some very interesting effects with this technique. Check out Jackson Pollocks work to see this technique in action.



Sgraffito Technique

Sgraffito is a scratching technique. It got its name from the Italian word graffiare which literally means to scratch. Just as the name implies it involves scratching into the surface of the wet paint which reveals either the ground or layer of dry color underneath. There are a number of different tools that can be used for this technique. Tools like screwdrivers or the sharpened end of an old paintbrush handle can work.

Using a Squeegee

A regular squeegee that you can buy at any hardware or auto store has the ability to create some interesting effects. First squeeze out some paint blobs directly along one edge of your support. You can layout whatever colors you wish. Then with one fluid motion drag the paint across the surface with your squeegee smearing and mixing the paint as you go.

ACRYLIC PAINTING TIPS

Variety    



One of the things that makes a painting interesting is variety. Use a variety of different brushstrokes, techniques and values in your paintings. Change the direction of your brushstrokes or mix different techniques in the same painting.

Don’t Copy

Don’t copy other artists. Allow other artists to influence you and paint your own impression of what you see from your heart and soul. This is how your inner creativity shines on the canvas. It is what set painters like Vincent van Gogh and Salvador Dali apart from the rest. They each injected their own style and heart into their work.

Observe Your Surroundings

Spend time observing and studying your subjects and surroundings. Landscape artists spend a great deal of time outdoors studying nature. Figure and portrait artists spend a great deal of time studying the human anatomy. If you aren’t spending enough time observing the subjects that you wish to paint, then you won’t have the necessary knowledge to paint them.

Art Supplies

Are you using quality acrylic painting supplies? In the beginning when you are experimenting, it is ok to use cheaper supplies, but as you become more experienced, you may want to consider investing in better quality. When it comes to fine art supplies, you usually get what you pay for. If you buy cheap brushes, they will more than likely begin to fall apart. The ferrule of the brush can loosen and the hairs can fall out. If you use cheap paint, you will get cheap looking results. The colors will not have the same brilliance or the right consistency.

Don’t Be Afraid to Use your Paint

Lets face it, good paint does not come cheap, so in an effort to conserve our paint, some artists will use as little paint as possible. This is a reasonable concern, but the truth however, is that your paintings will be more interesting if you lay down the brush stroke, leave it alone, and then reload your brush. Don’t try and scrub the paint into the canvas, otherwise you are just staining, and not painting.

Don’t Over Think

Don’t overly criticize or judge your own work while you are painting. This will discourage and frustrate you. Just relax and let go. Trust yourself and your abilities. ?

Onur Aksal asked:


The emergence of water-soluble colored pencils has allowed artists to combine traditional colored-pencil drawing and blending techniques with watercolorlike washes. Formulated for fine artists, this relatively new medium has so far been most popular among mixed-media artists, who are accustomed to combining materials to create their artwork.

This article is information-oriented rather than technique-oriented since, unlike watercolor or oil, water-soluble colored pencil is a new artistic medium and there’s no historical basis from which to study or teach the techniques. Hopefully, this column will not only reveal the methods some artists have used in tackling the medium but will give you the inspiration to try it yourself.

If you haven’t yet tried water-soluble colored pencils, consider their advantages: In terms of style and handling, they offer artists great flexibility, in everything from quick sketches to final artwork. First, they allow you to integrate drawing and painting into a single work of art without changing tools. This is convenient and also connects the spontaneity of drawing with the fluidity of painting, which is hard to achieve when you alternate between colored pencils and watercolors. Second, with water-soluble colored pencils, pencil and wash effects of the identical color can be achieved, an extremely difficult feat when combining different brands of colored pencils and watercolors. Third, outdoor sketchers and painters will appreciate the fact that a wide range of effects are possible with few supplies.

Once you try them, you’ll discover that water-soluble colored pencils can’t produce the same effects that either colored pencils or watercolors can deliver independently. However, you won’t be disappointed: You’ll get colored-pencillike and watercolorlike effects, plus all the wonderful surprises that result when two mediums–one dry and one liquid–are combined.

WHAT ARE WATER-SOLUBLE COLORED PENCILS?

Standard colored pencils are made of pigments in a methylcellulose gum binder. Wax and clay are added to give the pencil consistency. To make colored pencils water-soluble, manufacturers have replaced the methylcellulose gum binder with a blend of wetting agents that allow the pigmented system to be soluble in water.

I think you’ll find the medium closer to colored pencils in its working characteristics than to watercolor. As with standard colored pencils, you can apply water-soluble colored pencils in thin veils of color. The similarities to watercolor are less evident. Regardless of the brand, washes created with water-soluble colored pencils simply won’t have the smooth clarity typical of a standard watercolor wash.

There are two reasons for this difference: First, unlike the pigments used in water-soluble colored pencils, those used in the manufacture of watercolors are ground to an extreme fineness that allows washes to dry in a smooth, nongrainy manner. And second, water-soluble colored pencils contain wax and clay, which together offset the delicate pigment-to-binder ratio that characteristically occurs in watercolors. Still, you can obtain very appealing washes with water-soluble colored pencils as well as some unusual effects that incorporate the texture of pencil-drawn lines within wash areas.

WORKING METHODS

There are three basic methods you can use for applying water-soluble colored pencils, although they’re rarely used exclusively: dry-on-dry with wet blending; dry-on-wet; and wet-on-dry or wet-on-wet. As a painting develops, the differences between these working methods become less distinguishable so you may find that in a single painting you’re actually utilizing all of them.

With each method, you can control the look of drawn areas and washes simply by manipulating the amount of pressure applied to the pencil and the amount of water used for blending. The results will range from delicate to very bold. The greater the pressure applied in the presence of water, the stronger the color will be–as more pigment is imparted to the paper. You can also combine scraping, lifting, or other color-removal techniques commonly used in watercolor painting. By varying your technique, you can push a work done in this medium from a colored drawing with subtle wash effects to a full, vibrantly colored painting.

DRY-ON-DRY WITH WET BLENDING

Try drawing with the pencils on dry paper using layering, crosshatching, or other techniques. To achieve wash effects, blend with a wet brush. Areas can be reworked repeatedly with more pencil and blended again. The dry-on-dry method offers the most control and yields the most subtle effects. Delicately drawn areas can be manipulated with careful wet blending. If you like to work slowly and meticulously, you’ll be most comfortable with this technique.

DRY-ON-WET

By dampening the paper before applying the colored pencil, you can obtain bolder color than with the other methods as well as a fuzzy, textural quality. A fair amount of control in drawing can still be maintained so long as you work on damp paper. If the paper gets too wet, however, the pencil tip eventually stays wet and then you’re basically working wet-on-wet–and you’ve ceded some of your control. Mop up some of the excess water with a dry brush in order to soften or blend areas and maintain control.

WET-ON-DRY OR WET-ON-WET

Although in some literature you’ll see wet-on-dry and wet-on-wet methods mentioned separately, I find the two indistinguishable: Once you wet your pencil tips and start drawing, you can’t really keep the paper dry–in the end, you’re essentially working wet-on-wet in either case.

A great deal of pigment is imparted when you wet the pencils, so you’ll obtain the boldest results by working in this fashion. There will also be some surprises. In fact, I think working wet personifies the true spirit of the water-soluble colored-pencil medium–garnering the best of drawing and painting.

You can begin by dipping your pencil in water and drawing on dry paper, or you can dampen the paper before working. Either way, you’ll have the most control if you use the least amount of water. You’ll find that a small puddle of water tends to accumulate around the tip of the pencil as you draw, which can then be distributed with a small brush or lifted with a tissue.

Of course, you shouldn’t limit yourself to the methods described here. Any technique that delivers appealing results–no matter how unorthodox–can be adopted and used with this new medium.

LIGHTFASTNESS

Lightfastness refers to the ability of a color to resist fading or other color changes under extreme exposure to light. If you’re concerned with the durability and permanence of your work, lightfastness should be considered when making color selections.

The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), the organization that sets lightfastness standards for manufacturers of artists’ materials, is considering adopting a standard for colored pencils. Until such a standard is derived, artists who use water-soluble colored pencils can use lightfastness ratings provided by the manufacturer when they’re available (see the chart at the end of the article).

Most manufacturers have their colors tested in independently operated labs that are specially equipped to determine accurate lightfastness. Although you can’t test a color with the same degree of accuracy in your studio, here’s a simple test you can conduct at home to determine relative lightfastness.

Take a sheet of neutral-pH watercolor paper and cut it into 1″-X-4″ strips–one for each color you want to test. Cover the strip with a consistent coating of pencil and blend it with a wet brush. Be sure to leave white around the edges for labeling. Cut each strip in half, leaving two 1″-X-2″ pieces. Label each one with the brand, color name, and date.

Place one set of the colors in a drawer to keep it out of the light. Adhere the other set to a backing board and expose it to full sunlight in a south-facing window (west is the next best choice). After a few months, compare the exposed samples with the ones stored in the drawer, preferably under natural daylight. Any perceptible change indicates that the color in question isn’t lightfast.

PAPERS

Any paper that will take a wash without pilling or buckling is suitable for water-soluble colored pencils. Some artists might find that lighter-weight papers–under 300-pound–will produce better results when stretched. Since the range of techniques is so great with this medium, whether or not you stretch the paper will also depend on how much water you use in the painting process.

Texture is another factor to consider. Paper with at least some tooth–it can be earmarked for watercolor, drawing, or printmaking–is adaptable to both pencil and wash effects.

Don’t overlook color. Heavy pastel papers (Fabriano Ingres Cover, Canson Mi-Tientes, Strathmore Cover) come in a wide range of subtle shades and can withstand light washes without buckling. Bockingford, a watercolor paper from the St. Cuthbert’s Mill in England, has recently been introduced in four tinted shades of 140-pound cold-pressed (”Not”) paper–cream (pinkish), eggshell (greenish), gray, and oatmeal (yellowish). These sheets were developed in conjunction with Daler-Rowney USA and are now being distributed by the company. They offer great possibilities for obtaining unique color effects with water-soluble colored pencils.

As with any other medium, you’ll find the best papers for water-soluble colored pencils through experimentation. Try smooth hot-pressed watercolor papers, rough cold-pressed watercolor papers, vellum bristols, heavy pastel papers, and any of the printmaking papers recommended for etching or lithography. If the longevity of your work is a consideration, select papers made from cotton, linen, or pure sulfite fibers, which are also acid-free.

COMPARING BRANDS

Availability may be the most critical factor in determining which brand or brands of water-soluble colored pencils you try. See what your local art stores, as well as the various mail-order-catalog companies, have to offer. Experimenting with more than one brand will definitely expand your experience with this medium since some brands exhibit slightly different working characteristics and may suit your particular style better than others.

One characteristic that seems consistent, however, is wetting ability. I tried six brands of water-soluble colored pencils and couldn’t distinguish any significant differences from one to another in this regard. Each brand wetted readily when brushed with water.

Most retail stores have displays with pencils you can try before purchasing. And if they don’t, suggest they set one up. Try every brand you can find. Open the biggest set and look over the range of colors. Don’t rule out the possibility of crossing brands to obtain the colors and effects you want. The six brands I’ve listed below are all professional-quality materials–made with the fine artist in mind.

Joan Koeppel asked:


It’s been a while since I made a greeting card with my craft stamps. I have been using my Cricut Expression machine to make my greeting cards lately and I wanted to go back and use some of my craft rubber stamps that I have, and boy do I have craft stamps. One day I will post some pictures of all the craft stamps that I have.

Anyway, for this birthday card I wanted to share with you first of all a really cute craft stamps, some cool rubber stamping techniques and all this while I am making a birthday card for my father-in-law. When he was at my home in March, I took him to his first ever craft rubber stamps convention. He couldn’t believe how many different craft stamps they had as well as how many ladies were all in one convention center. It was great and where we found some special craft rubber stamps, so I thought I would show him what I can create using some rubber stamping techniques that I have learned over the years.

I just love craft stamps that pertain to cats, and this particular craft stamp reminds me of my cat Tapioca. He is so cute.

What you will need:

Cat craft stamps (Stamps by Judith)

Sentiment - Happy Birthday ~ Perfectly Clear craft stamps (Stampendous)

StazOn Black Solvent Ink Pad

Watercolor pencils (Loew-Cornell)

Water Brush

Flower Pot paper punch (Emaginations)

Paper from Stampin’ Up: Really Rust, Sage Shadow, Barely Banana, and Basic Black. I have no clue where I got the white card stock from.

Adhesive pop dots and tape runner

How to make it:

First I cut all the card stock listed above to get the layered look that I wanted for this card.

Then I stamped the cat craft stamps image with my Black StazOn ink pad. I then put embossing powder on the wet ink and heat set.

The reason why I used the solvent ink and embossed is that I am now going to use my watercolor pencils to color in the image and I did not want the black ink to run into the colors.

I used watercolor pencils along with my water brush, to color the cat and the stem and leaf. I then used another of my great rubber stamping techniques and that was to color the flower with an embossing marker and then put on the embossing powder. Using my heat gun I then made the flower have a shiny finish.

I punched out of brown paper the flower pot. I put the pop dots only at the rim of the flower pot, and then used my tape runner for the bottom of the flower pot. I wanted to give a three dimensional look like the cat was really sitting in the flower pot.

I then used Tulip Color Point Stitch paint to make the dirt. I really got inside the rim to get the effect that the cat was in the pot. I again used my heat gun to set the paint and give it the uneven puffy look. (When I was cleaning my craft closet a few months back I came across all of these Tulip paints and all of my craft stamps and I wanted to start using them for fun projects like this one).

For the inside I used one of my Perfectly Clear craft stamps and stamped Happy Birthday. Nice and simple.

I almost forgot, I finished him off with a little black and white ribbon that I tied around his neck, for a fun look for my cat.

I hope he like the card, since I used the craft stamps that we bought together. I sure had a lot of fun making it. I think now that I had so much fun with this card that I will start using more from the collection of my craft stamps for upcoming birthdays and holidays.

Hope you enjoyed it too!
