After working on the digital paintings, I switched to painting with brushes with watercolors and acrylic paints. This is a much stricter format. It is not as forgiving as the computer-generated work. Now I find myself doing brightly colored portraits. These paintings fascinate me; they show the strong character and attitude of these individuals. The act of painting keeps me sane.

When diagnosed I was working in clay making large ceramic containers for ikebana. Handling the clay eventually became too difficult and I made the leap to two dimensional art - drawing and watercolor. Never having had any formal training I wanted to start painting immediately. My son, who is the true artist in the family, said: "Mother, you have to learn to draw first." Did I listen? Of course not. But he proved right and I have now taken some classes and workshops and have used YouTube videos to learn, as well.” Gail is donating 100% of the sale prices of her artworks to PCLA.

For example, I think I am seeing the rose. But when I go to draw the flower, a building or another complex scene, I can't do without many frustrating attempts.

  • Discovering the Contemporary
    of formalist distance upon which modernists had relied for understanding the world. Critics increasingly pointed to a correspondence between the formal properties of 1960s art and the nature of the radically changing world that sur- rounded them. In fact formalism, the commitment to prior- itizing formal qualities of a work of art over its content, was being transformed in these years into a means of discovering content. Leo Steinberg described Rauschenberg’s work as “flat- bed painting,” one of the lasting critical metaphors invented 1 in response to the art of the immediate post-World War II Discovering the Contemporary period.5 The collisions across the surface of Rosenquist’s painting and the collection of materials on Rauschenberg’s surfaces were being viewed as models for a new form of realism, one that captured the relationships between people and things in the world outside the studio. The lesson that formal analysis could lead back into, rather than away from, content, often with very specific social significance, would be central to the creation and reception of late-twentieth- century art. 1.2 Roy Lichtenstein, Golf Ball, 1962.

  • Ali Banisadr / MATRIX 185 at the Wadsworth Marks Artist's First Solo
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Contact: Kim Hugo, (860) 838-4082 [email protected] Image files to accompany publicity of this exhibition will be available for download at http://press.thewadsworth.org. Email to request login credentials. Ali Banisadr / MATRIX 185 at the Wadsworth Marks Artist’s First Solo Museum Exhibition in the U.S. Hartford, Conn. (September 15, 2020)—Ali Banisadr draws freely from an encyclopedic knowledge of the history of painting to create a distinctive visual language, resulting in works that explore a “between space,” like those of hallucinations and dreams. Ali Banisadr / MATRIX 185 at the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art is the artist’s first solo museum exhibition in the U.S. Ten paintings and two prints by Banisadr join a selection of works from the Wadsworth collection chosen by the artist, as well as a video collage that Banisadr created to show additional inspiration works from the museum’s collection. The exhibition opens October 22, 2020 and will be on view through February 14, 2021. “Banisadr’s depictions of abstracted masses feel especially relevant right now,” says Patricia Hickson, Emily Hall Tremaine Curator of Contemporary Art at the Wadsworth. “His compositions echo the disquiet we are witnessing across the world today, including political rallies, protest marches, and street riots. And yet, as timely as they are, they are equally timeless.” Banisadr’s process has been related to synesthesia as sounds instruct the energy and rhythm in his painterly compositions. His perception of sound as inextricably linked to color and form began in his native Tehran, Iran during the Iran-Iraq War (1980–1988)— the artist recalls drawing while sheltering at home.

All rights reserved. Forms of Art - Watercolor Forms of Art - Watercolor By ReadWo rks Watercolor painting is very popular among artists of all skill levels. Watercolor paint is hard in form. When water is added to it, the painter can apply the paint easily to paper. Thick types of paper are often used when watercolor painting. The thickness allows the water from the paint to be absorbed and not run or soak through the paper. Artists can control the intensity of watercolors by adding more or less water to the paint. The more water you put on your brush, the lighter the color will be. For darker colors, you should use only a little bit of water. Watercolor equipment is light and easy to use outdoors. The paintings also dry quickly. For these reasons, many artists use watercolor paint to make quick sketches or studies of nature. Believe it or not, water-based paint has been used since ancient times. Throughout the ages, artists have used water-based paint. Watercolor painting started to become popular in the mid- 1700s. Since then, artists have tried different papers and different water levels. Maybe you should take up watercolor painting and experiment with it.

  • About the Exhibition the Year 2020 Is a Historic One for the Evansville Museum’S Biennial Mid-States Art Exhibition, As It Marks Its Jubilee Anniversary
    About the Exhibition The year 2020 is a historic one for the Evansville Museum’s biennial Mid-States Art Exhibition, as it marks its Jubilee Anniversary. The biennial exhibition provides recognition for emerging artists and the opportunity to receive a purchase or merit award. Selected for this retrospective are top award- winning works spanning sixty years which provide a unique overview of the development in trends and techniques of artists in the Midwest. The annual juried competition was organized in 1948 by the Museum’s Director, Charles Bogg; Registrar, Florita Eichel; and Museum Trustee William A. Gumberts. Originally named the Tri- State Art Exhibition, the competition accepted paintings, drawings, prints, sculpture, and crafts for consideration by a jury of two or three art professionals. In the first decade, the number of entries steadily grew; and, in 1960, the Museum organized a separate regional juried exhibition devoted to craft. The Mid- State Craft Exhibition and the Mid-States Art Exhibition were presented annually until 1994 when the decision was made to offer one regional juried competition each year and the two competitions became biennials. The competition is open to artists residing in the six Midwestern states of Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio and Missouri. In the exhibition’s sixty-year history, the purchase and merit awards donated by local individuals, businesses, corporations, and philanthropic organizations have allowed the Evansville Museum to purchase 326 works for the Mid-States Art Collection. On this Jubilee Anniversary, we congratulate all the artists who have participated in the Mid-States Art Exhibition and thank the many generous patrons whose gifts have made the acquisition of this important collection possible.

  • Watercolor Resists by Caponi Art Park
    Watercolor Resists By Caponi Art Park Project overview: Recommended for ages 5+ Much like a hidden message on a pirate’s treasure map, in this workshop, watercolors will reveal the picture that lays beneath the paint. Using their imaginations, participants will compose a picture using white crayon on white paper. The image they have created will only be revealed once watercolor paints have been applied to the entire image. You will have to wait and see what hidden treasure awaits! Supply list: ● Large sheet of white paper (We recommend using watercolor paper if you have it, but any thicker white paper will work. You can try standard printer paper, but with the wetness of the paints, it is not recommended. White construction paper would be great if you have it.) ● Paint brushes ( Any paintbrush will work. Even the foam brushes for painting walls will work. Use what you have on hand! We do recommend using a standard arts and crafts paintbrush.) ● Watercolor paints (Don’t have watercolor paints? Us tempera paint, and water it down. You can do this by putting a dime sized blob of tempera paint on a plate and mixing it with water until it runs really thin and more translucent.) ● White crayons (enough for the group to share) (If you don’t have white crayons, try a lightly colored crayon. It won’t “reveal the image” the same way, but it will still work. You can also try using white or cream colored candle wax.) ● Water cups for rinsing Instructions: ​ ● Make sure each participant has a piece of watercolor paper, a brush, and a white crayon.

  • Introduction to Watercolors for Field Sketching
    Introduction to Watercolors for Field Sketching By Christine Elder This handout is a rough outline to accompany the video on watercolors that you can watch on your nature sketching course page: http://christineelder.com/nature-sketching-course. You may want to print it out and add notes as you watch the video. If you have watercolors, you may want to set them up and follow along! We will cover the basics of using the medium of watercolor, especially as its use pertains to casual field sketching, plus the basic materials and techniques to use in the field as well as exercises to practice at home in order to familiarize yourself with your paints. Let’s get going! Introduction • Value the process of discovering watercolors over the product; the joy of being outside, trusting that you are indeed learning more about your subject and your art materials and techniques than may be obvious from what’s shown on the paper, the hidden rewards which will slowly reveal themselves. You aren’t aiming for a botanical illustration or being the next Audubon so release any unrealistic expectations for yourself. • Characteristics of watercolors o Akin to cats – can be frustrating, have their own mind, can’t control them, but delightful all the same! o Transparent, so they can’t be modified extensively like one can do with opaque acrylics and oils, but they’re quick, non-toxic, easy to bring into the field, and will work well layering with other media. Watercolor supplies: • Portable watercolor palette, watercolor paper or field sketchbook, Pentel aquash watercolor brush, old oil brush, mechanical pencil, permanent pen, sponge, white gel pen and white colored pencil for highlights, waxy pencil or birthday candle for resist, rag, natural objects and photographs to practice with.

  • Peaks and Professors
    Ann Lage • THE PEAKS AND THE PROFESSORS THE PEAKS AND THE PROFESSORS UNIVERSITY NAMES IN THE HIGH SIERRA Ann Lage DURING THE LAST DECADE OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY, a small group of adven- turesome university students and professors, with ties to both the University of California and Stanford, were spending their summers exploring the High Sierra, climbing its highest peaks, and on occasion bestowing names upon them. Some they named after natural fea- tures of the landscape, some after prominent scientists or family members, and some after their schools and favored professors. The record of their place naming indicates that a friendly rivalry between the Univer- sity of California in Berkeley and the newly established Stanford University in Palo Alto was played out among the highest peaks of the Sierra Nevada, just as it was on the “athletic fields” of the Bay Area during these years. At least two accounts of their Sierra trips provide circum- stantial evidence for a competitive race to the top between a Cal alumnus and professor of engineering, Joseph Nisbet LeConte, and a young Stanford professor of drawing and paint- ing, Bolton Coit Brown. Joseph N. LeConte was the son of professor of geology Joseph LeConte, whose 1870 trip with the “University Excursion Party” to the Yosemite region and meeting with John Muir is recounted elsewhere in this issue.1 “Little Joe,” as he was known, had made family trips to Yosemite as a boy and in 1889 accompanied his father and his students on a trip University Peak, circa 1899.
