$CoMmEntU $CoMmEntU $CoMmEntU Digital Art and Abstract Art Prints Gone are the days when an artist had to rely on a brush and canvas to create a painting. The advancement in computer technology has given artists the freedom and ability to create paintings with a computer mouse or graphic tablet. Unlike regular paints and palettes which can be quite messy, digital art can be created in a neat and tidy manner since the whole painting process takes place inside the computer. Since digital art exists inside the computer, the original painting exists only in virtual space. It can be printed on a high quality printer to create an art print. In fact, digital art can only be created as art prints, since the original exists as bits and bytes stored on the computer’s hard drive. Every art print would be completely identical as long as the same printing process and inks are used. A number of computer savvy artists have emerged who create all their paintings as digital art. There are

Learn More About Sci-Fi Art and Abstract Art Paintings

Learn More About Sci-Fi Art and Abstract Art Paintings It may be obvious to some, but sci-fi art can never be outgrown, no matter our physical age. The reality of our world is such that what is sci-fi today, will become science fact tomorrow. Jules Verne’s 19th century works live in our 21st century, having begun their march toward reality in the 20th century: man can fly, search the seabeds, cure many of the ailments that were deadly in earlier times. For this exciting subject, we need an exemplar, and that is where sci-fi art comes in. If it is a simple depiction of the moon or a fantastically detailed portrayal of a favorite character from a sci-fi movie, it can be accomplished in abstract art, which is itself on the fantastic end of the art spectrum. Art to gives life to our dreams and inspires us to accomplish more. Sci-Fi art is unique in that it moves beyond the representational, beyond the depiction of things in our everyday life, and flies ahead to the realms of the imagi

Death of Aesthetics

Image
Death of Aesthetics Have you ever wondered what is it that makes a painting great? Why are some artworks so admired by art lovers and art critics? What qualities possess certain paintings that make us feel so passionate about them? Well, a very loose definition of a good artwork would be that it has to possess a certain ‘je ne sais quoi’, something inexplicable that captivates us, moves us, or pleases us. It has to be something quite hard to explain., hard to define and hard to describe. As an artist, I wanted to investigate this matter further and analyze this mysterious trait of what makes a painting great. It was vital for me to understand this, as I wanted to be able to create great paintings. After studying art for several years I carried on conducting my own research into this, through my work, and eventually reached the following conclusions: – A great painting has to have powerful visual content and very often also an emotional one. Both are important, and the combinatio

Information About Fine Art Paintings

Image
Information About Fine Art Paintings When you think of fine art paintings, you may think of artists such as Pablo Picasso, Rembrandt, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo or Vincent Van Gogh. One would be right to associate those names with fine art. They painted some of the most famous works of art known to man to date. One may typically find authentic paintings in the homes of the elite, the fortunate few, or in art museums. These types of paintings are rare and not easily seen in person. They are also costly, so being able to afford to purchase one is out of the question for most people. However, museums house many original fine paintings for the public to view. The Mona Lisa was painted by Leonardo da Vinci back in the sixteenth century. He began painting it in 1503 and worked on it until the year 1519. People trying to figure it out have mulled over Mona Lisa’s expression for years. The expression on her face leaves one with a lot to consider about the painting. In the year 1911,

Esoteric Pictures

Image
Esoteric Pictures Esoteric and abstract pictures adhere to the same principles as esoteric and abstract art. Many viewers may stumble upon a particular photograph of a brick wall or perhaps some surface textures and wonder what the purpose or meaning behind the photograph is. Esoteric pictures do not necessarily idolize a subject for its beauty or historical/political/social significance, but they do ascribe a certain aesthetic value to everyday objects. Many times, photographers who like to take abstract or esoteric pictures will capture a particularly mundane view from a different angle or a unique perspective, casting these “mundane objects” in a new light, allowing them to be treated with a different kind of appreciation. Esoteric pictures are not the same thing as abstract pictures or photographs. For abstract artists, elements and rules of balance, color, and composition do not exist. Any blending of colors, shapes or forms into an image qualifies the work as abstract. Jackso

The Origin and Evolution of Abstract Painting

Image
The Origin and Evolution of Abstract Painting Abstract painting is a very unique form of art; its depictions of imagery are a departure from reality but can still provide accurate visual representations of specific objects and scenes. This art form didn’t really emerge until the twentieth century, but has grown into an iconic form of art that has been transcended by some of the very best artists, such as Jackson Pollock and Piet Mondrian. A lot of abstract art involves the use of concepts in which texture, shape, and color are utilized in such a way that demonstrates the intrinsic value that each has. This results in provoking a response from the viewer’s mind to the portrayals of imaginary as well as the unidentifiable scenes and objects. The beginning of abstract painting can be attributed to the growing popularity of impressionism followed by post-impression in the nineteenth century. This type of art emphasized the utilization of style and color, as opposed to providing accura

Making a Living As a Multi-Talented Artist

Image
Making a Living As a Multi-Talented Artist I find most artists, whether you’re a painter, dancer, musician or any other creative medium also have a secondary medium that they explore in. It is challenging already to take a personal talent and make it work for you in a financial way. A lot of artists are talented in their field but lack the know how to get the ball rolling. So if you are an artist that enjoys a couple different ways to express your art, how do you choose which one to take to a professional level? A level in which you can make a living. These are the questions that I had to ask myself when I decided to leave the “work for someone else world” and just wanted to do art. There is no right way. The beauty of being a true artist is paving a personal path through trial and error. I will explain how I developed my painting skills to start to bring in income. Also how I decided out of the talents that I possess – guitar, martial arts, dance and painting how I chose what one
