The creation of art, the pure bliss of the moment. A true work of art takes on a life of its own. However, artists must do the preparation - have materials and tools at hand, make the first decisive marks. After a little while the image begins to take over, often not what the artist may have had in mind, not always a masterpiece but usually a magical creation none-the-less.
Painting, sculpting, printmaking, photography and other methods all share the commonality of visual art - works of art which are primarily 2-dimensional and intended to be experienced through human eyes. With this in mind we begin to understand the basis of visual art creation. The old rules of art may be rigid guidelines for many painters, but the main thrust of any self-respecting artist continues to be the pursuit of a personal style and a unique approach to the subject material.
Painters work in mediums such as oils, water colours or acrylics. I've experimented with egg tempera (yolks) as well, which gives a soft yet permanent feel to the paint. Full descriptions of mediums and painting techiques can be found on several internet web sites.
The work on this page is digital and uses a distorted photo effect for dramatic emphasis.
More babble later.
