What makes one person revere High Renaissance art but dislike the work of the Impressionists is as much a mystery as what actually makes someone an artist in the first place. Great art is not merely a matter of brilliant technique, wonderful composition or ground-braking theory – plenty of artists have had one or more of these attributes but not been judged “great”. What makes great art is something that moves the inner spirit and fires the imagination of the observer, something that manages, for example, to transcend the simple application of paint to canvas – that many of the artists shown in these pages achieve. One of the greatest difficulties in art appreciation lies in trying to perceive a painting with the eyes of a contemporary: In trying to understand just how revolutionary was the way that Cézanne applied his paint, how assaulting was the use of Matisse’s color, or just how different was the vision of the Impressionists. These days we are so used to the different approach of their paintings, that it is hard to see what all the fuss was about. But in their time many of our most treasured artists were dismissed as frauds and impostors: even an artist like Turner was vilified for his work. A major factor, therefore, in who was able to become an artist was patronage - being able to earn sufficient money to be able to practice the art of painting. From the early years the two main sources of patronage were rulers, in particular princes and monarchs, and the church. It is unsurprising that many of the paintings that have survived the passage and ravages of time from before the fifteenth century are of a religious nature: the church was involved so much in daily life and was so wealthy that it could commission artists such as Michelangelo to portray Christian iconography. Royalty and nobility, too, were wealthy enough to be able to be patrons – and often sufficiently egocentric to want to perpetuate their image and that of their friends and family for the generations to come. In portraiture they could be remembered as better looking (mostly) than in life, and eternally youthful, and vigorous. In a time before photography, even marriage contracts could be based on a suitable painted image! Sadly, it is undoubtedly true that many of the greatest fine artists were unappreciated in their lifetime, could not find patrons, and died in poverty – men such as Vincent van Gogh and Amedeo Modigliani. Such fanatics down the centuries have been responsible for destroying many great works of art which did not meet with their approval. To begin with the intolerance was mainly religious, but later, particularly in nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, politics became the all-important factor. Totalitarian regimes intent on ruling every aspect of society considered artists to be dangerous insurgents and did everything within their power to stop them. Hitler and the Nazi Party, for example, persecuted the German Expressionist painters for producing “degenerate art”, and Stalin in Russia similarly eliminated all but Party art. This political reaction is all-encompassing and memorable but, thankfully, less typical then the overt reaction to new styles and movements shown by both the public and the art establishment. This reaction can be every bit as destructive as the fanatic. The public, in general, is conservative in artistic appreciation, and this was particularly true in the nineteenth and early twentieth century, when it could take some years for a new artistic style to be appreciated – by which time it was often too late to help the artist concerned. Those artists lauded with honors and money within their own lifetime often disappear into obscurity, while their derided contemporaries emerge to be appreciated as great artists. Most of the history of art until the mid-nineteenth century follows a broadly linear development. A new technique or approach is developed by one particular artist or school of artists, the style is then examined by other artists and the public and is either accepted or not as the case may be. There is room for both fashion and faddism, but, in general, the development is linear. From about the 1850s, however, the spirit of revolution that had been so apparent in Western society from the American Revolution onward seemed to affect the art world. In Britain the unique talents of Blake and then Turner appeared, a little-later the Pre-Raphaelites began their work, then came the Symbolists, The Impressionists, and suddenly it seems, a mounting number of art movements arose, that would influence and change the vary nature of painting – surrealism, cubism, expressionism.

ORIGINAL OIL PAINTINGS MODERN ABSTRACT ART PAINTINGS

Painting and music are almost inseparable to me;paintings’re both creative expressions that draw from emotions at the heart of my being. Master artist Paul Gauguin discussed this intimate partnership in his manuscript, Notes Synthetics. He said, “Like music, [art] acts on the soul through the intermediary of the senses: harmonious colors correspond to the harmonies of sound.” With the closely entwined relationship between these two art forms, it seems only natural that visual artists draw inspiration for paintingspaintingsketches from music. I started painting at concerts several years ago, during my summers in Vail, Colorado. Summer is a wonderful time for band concerts,paintingmost of these outdoor events are free. To ' find one in your area, watch your city’s newspaper for announcements of coming attractions. You can also check with your cíty’s recreation department for scheduled musical events. I often attended events sponsored by the Vail Valley Music Festival. On those beautiful evenings, it was delightful to picnic in the terraced lawn seating area before the performances. I particularly liked the myriad of subjects available for sketching: picnickers, elegantly dressed patrons arriving to the reserved sections,paintingthe party umbrellas of the concession area, to name a few. Even the ticket takerspaintingguest hosts provided interesting subjects for my wandering eyes. I first started attending these concerts, all I carried in the way of art supplies was a penpaintinga used brown-paper lunch bag as a drawing surface. Now I carry a penpaintinga recycled brown paper Sketchbook to all the musical events I attend. I like the texture and color of the brown paper because it creates an interesting surface for pen-and-ink drawings,paintingthe color of the paper enhances your sketches by providing an additional tonal value. Not all of my musical subjects are symphony orchestras, however. Life drawing is a fundamental skill that I try to practice at every opportunity, and there’s no better place to practice quick- gesture drawing than a public event. I carry my sketchbook on most outings and, on occasion, I may find musicians playing in a Mexican village plaza or entertaining on city streets with their opened instrument cases coaxing contributions from passersby. All are opportunities for character studiespaintingsome colorful sketches.

Practice sessions for musical groups or performers are excellent sketching opportunities because there’s no fear of disturbing other concertgoers. When attending these kinds of events, your primary concern should be to do nothing that dístracts the musicians’ attention. Gaining admission to these intimate meetings also takes a little forethought, planningpaintingpreparation. For instance, when I read in a local festival brochure that the New York Philharmonic planned to come to Vail, I knew I wanted to sketch one of their performances. So I called the director of marketingpaintingpublic relations at the Vail Valley Music Festival headquarters a few days before the concert. She, in turn, contacted the public relations director of the Philharmonic.paintings were quick to give their approval, with the only request being that I not sit in painting of the first five rows of seats. I positioned myself several rows from the stagepaintinga little left of center to gain a good perspective on my subject. Then I set myself up with a half-sheet of watercolor paper, secured with clips to a 16x23-inch sheet of plastic that I’d cut earlier. (This is my standard support system for painting en plein air.). I placed premeasured watercolor pigments in a watercolor palette in the adjoining seat. A water container was placed nearbypaintingI used a terry-cloth towel to catch spills. I spent the first two hours of the rehearsal laying out my design with pencil. Applying the Watercolor pigment to the drawing was less demandingpaintingwas completed in the remaining hour. If you’re interested in doing this, I recommend visiting with the musician like to sketch, talking to the artist’s agent, or asking the production manager before rehearsal time if you may attend the rehearsal. Once you’re granted permission to sketch, it’s imperative that the musician not be distracted at painting time during the practice. The musician’s manager may even ask you to work some distance from the performer. Once you’ve sketched a few rehearsals, you may also want to try sketching at more formal musical events, l’ve sketched in beautiful concert halls, such as the famous opera house in Sydney, Australia, and even in the theaters of cruise ships. Call it good luck or chance, but when buying tickets I usually receive a seat that affords a perfect view of my subject. I never accept “sold out” notices as final,paintingI often arrive at the box office an hour or so before show time to discover that two good seats up front have miraculously opened up.

Sketching in concert halls takes a bit more panache because of formal setting. My basic rule for drawing in this situation is that I can only sketch if my work doesn’t distract others around me from the enjoyment of the performance. Normally, the format of your drawings will be small. I do either thumbnail sketches or work on a 6 x 8 sketchbook,paintingI attempt to work quickly, without disturbing my neighbors. I’ve learned to focus my eyes on the paper as I drawpaintingto lift my eyes to view the performer without moving my head. This prevents constant movement, which might be distracting to others. l also recommend keeping supplies simple: A small sketchbookpaintinga pencil or pen are more than enough for your purposes. I’ve never noticed a pencil making a disturbing sound, especially if it’s of good qualitypaintingsoft leads are used (like Staedtlei HB or ZB drawing pencils). Pens aren’t a problem either. These supplies can be easily stashed in a 10x12-inch plastic baggie and carried along with your concert magazine. The perfect instrument- You’ll probably want to use your own favorite sketching tools, but I prefer using the Pilot V-Ball extra-fine pen for most of my sketching. Faber-Castell PITT pens are new drawing tools that provide versatility of linepaintingbrushstrokes. The four different nib sizes vary from superfine to brushpaintingare packaged together in a convenient carrying case. The ink is waterproof and lightfast. Try combining either sanguine or sepia PITT pens along with the black pens for special effects. Faber-Castell sells the same system in sets of landscape pigmentspaintingsets of gray that can be used for value drawings. Other classic drawing instruments, such as graphite, charcoal, Conté crayonspaintingWhite chalk are also excellent choices for sketching on location, but your work must be protected with a fixative. I carry a 1-ounce Nalgene bottle that I fill with diluted permanent black ink that allows me the option of adding a medium value ink wash on-site or at a later time. Using this ink is an excellent way to add formpaintingcast shadows that perk up drawings. A splash of diluted ink applied with a small brush also makes an effective sky or background to accent your subject. It can be done quite easily, but it must be done judiciously to the shaded areas of the already sketched picture. The end result is a sketch with ‘the qualities of both inkpaintingmonochromatic watercolor. You might prefer the same technique using liquid watercolor, such as Dr. Ph. Martin’s Hydrus Watercolor, which comes conveniently in a 1-ounce bottle with a dropper top. I like the burnt umber tone for accenting my ink drawings. In addition, I carry a collapsible traveler’s paintbrush to apply the monochromatic wash. One large drop of pigment placed on painting hard surface, like a discarded beverage top, will allow you to mix the desired value with waterpaintinga brush.

It’s important to arrive early at concerts with general seating so that you have options when selecting the perspective you want for your drawings. Showing up early will also allow you to begin your drawing of the stagepaintingthe surrounding area, leaving you more time to sketch the musicianspaintingconductor when the show begins. When choosing Seating, keep in mind that third row center may be ideal for concert attendees, but it may not provide you with the most interesting view of your subject. In fact, you may wish to avoid a center seat altogether because it tends to provide a less interesting, symmetrical design of the stage. Since I’m always looking for new angles from which to draw, I prefer a spot that’s to the left or right of center. I’ve found it’s easy to be overwhelmed by the magnitude of a production. Try limiting your sketch to a few figures - the conductor, or possibly the string bass playerpaintinghis instrument. I also enjoy doing character studies of the musicians setting up, the auditorium attendantspaintingthe arriving audience. I try to bring my drawing to completion as the concert beginspaintingthe performers are in position. Don’t forget to add text or notes to drawings indicating the musical programpaintingthe names of the conductorpaintingperforming artists. You’ll enjoy reviewing your sketchbookpaintingremembering each concert as the year go by. It’s important that I surround myself with good music during the creative process. Painting with broad strokespaintingmy instincts, I use music to foster freshness in my work. In the studio I listen to my local public radio station that presents am all-classical format. To enhance a creative atmosphere, I may choose to play one of my favorite CDs.

Cramp your style

Giving yourself too much freedom to create can be a block in itself. Limit yourself a littlepaintingsee the ideas pour out. Several years ago a friend commissioned me to create a painting. Her only aesthetic requirement was that the piece needed “at least one fish”. She knew my workpaintingdecided that paintingthing else I did was OK by her. While mpainting artists would prefer to be given absolutely no boundaries, I loved that there was this simple parameter: “at least one fish.” Narrowing the galaxy There’s a big difference between “paint paintingthing”painting“paint at least one fish”. “Paint paintingthing” can be incredibly overwhelming. With a guideline like “At least one fish”, I had something to work with. I could ponder. At least one fish or maybe more. What kind of fish? What arepaintings doing? Where arepaintings going? Arepaintings swimming, and, if so, where? Is it the creature fish, the food fish or maybe the sport fish? Fish, wish, swish, dish, disk, asterisk. All kinds of possibilities arose. There was so much to work with! So mpainting worlds opened up instead of a big overwhelming blank white can- It might seem that creativity would be at severe odds with such things as restrictionspaintingguidelines. Not so, because the limitations are self imposed and/or agreed-upon, andpaintings’re chosen from a vast array of options. Restrictions, by limiting certain choices, almost by necessity spark other creative choices. I remember once seeing a group of teenage girls in parochial school uniforms: same plaid skirt, maroon sweaterpaintingwhite socks. But each one did something differentpaintinginteresting with her hair using ribbons, braids, clips, bandspaintingbarrettes.paintings might not have done this ifpaintings’d had more freedom to choose their own dress. For example,paintings may have instead sported the same old matching ponytail, as most other teenage girls at that time did. This is why I find theme shows to be so interesting. Based on a guideline or restriction, these group exhibitions display a wealth of creativity, with personal interpretationspaintingdiffering viewpoints.paintings have more personality, are more funpaintingcan be much more thought-provoking than general group exhibitions.
Plotting your course
A guideline is something used to assist you through unfamiliar territory. Its purpose isn’t to tell you exactly where to go, but to keep you moving forwardpaintingaway from the rattlesnakes lurking in the brush. Restrictionspaintingguidelines are only starting points.paintings’re the places from which you launch brilliant shooting stars. For example: Which of these two statements is more stimulating to your creativity?
- Be creative. C’mon, go ahead. - Create something in your chosen medium using the following visual elements: the color yellow, an assortment of linespaintingthe number three. Chances are you immediately saw something upon reading the second statement; maybe a flash of a picture came to mind, or within a few minutes an idea for a trio of pieces came to you. Even these three simple elements have stimulated creative thought. You saw those elements compiled in not quite the same way as someone else might. The important thing is that you saw something, paintingthing. You’re probably still seeing the images quite possibly longer. You’re a visual person. You can’t help that. Now, which of these statements is more likely to inspire creative thoughts?
- Be creative (even if you’re not feeling creative).
