THE ARTIST TIP OF THE WEEK
CELEBRATING CURIOSITY
The cure for boredom is
curiosity. There is no cure for
curiosity.
Ellen Parr
Curiosity is the spark that ignites
intellectual and artistic energy.
The best teachers can strike that spark in
their students' brains and
hearts. Mary
Engelbreit
I think, at a child's birth, if a mother
could ask a fairy godmother to
endow it with the most useful
gift, that gift would be
curiosity.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I have no special
talents. I am only passionately
curious.
Albert Einstein
At first people refuse to believe that a
strange new thing can be
done, then they begin to hope it can be
done. Then they see it can
be done ----- then it is done and all the
world wonders why it was
not done centuries
ago.
Frances Burnett

MY THOUGHTS ON PAINTING:
When I am painting, I can get lost in my own world of creativity and
serenity. It is challenging and relaxing at the same time and it is
much cheaper than therapy.
It is my belief that when an artist picks up a brush and a
blank canvas or watercolor block and starts to put color on, he has the
chance to do something wonderful and different. Instead of painting a
predictable sky and a ho-hum landscape which has been done again and
again, he can choose to use vivid color and a bold technique and keep
the viewer's attention focused on HIS painting and not the next
painting in line on the wall.
Jo Blakeley.
To
create the illusion of 3 dimension, you must create depth.
To create depth you must bring forward light and
recede dark,forward warm and recede cool,forward hard
recede soft,and forward high chroma and recede low
chroma.
