The Triad must have

- December 14, 2019

The Triad Giveaway In art school, you train. You learn the basics to train your eyes, hands, and brain. Start with the fundamentals. This triad will train you to see colors. In watercolor, unlike other painting practices, there are things that we have to consider. What the paint is made of is one. What is the pigment, does it granulate, does it layer, does the color shift when dry. I prefer single pigment colors. which is why I put this Triad togeather. Small and portable. So follow this blog and leave a comment to win this set of artist-grade watercolor.

Why draftsmanship matters

- June 09, 2021

If you want to have a career in art you must study the human form. Period. You cannot render a superhero with out knowing how to draw the muscles under the tights. How do you render a flowing 1930's gown with out knowing where the hip line is? Make all the excuses you want. if you don't put the time in to correctly understand anatomy, human, animal, fish. You will not achieve your vision. All modern artist like Picasso studied, Abstract is a genue or style that you develop into or you choose after you develop a degree of draftsmanship.
