When it comes to painting a portrait, there are three specific types of paints that are used – oil, water and acrylic paints. Each of these paint types has their own advantages and disadvantages. The difference in costs and the way each paint behaves when used are some of the factors that people consider when they pick out a medium to paint, but many purists believe that oil paintings are the way to go, as they look the best. It is because there is richness and sheen to oil paintings that is simply not there in the other mediums that we use for painting. Of course, what surface you are using to paint also makes a big difference like painting on fabrics and creating art for wearing and decoration.

DIGITAL DOWNLOAD ONLY. This beautiful painting of a sailboat at sunset captures the beauty of the ocean in a captivating way. The painting is done with water colored pencil and ink and shows a sailboat with its sails billowing in the wind, with the setting sun casting a warm orange glow across the horizon.

About The Artwork This one was inspired by a cat on Bebek Sahili, Istanbul. It was looking for fish to steal from the fishermen. I also liked the fact that it is customary for Turkish fishermen to use empty packages from oil, yogurt and tomato paste for what they catch.

Few would argue if we said that pets are an endless source of joy and happiness in our lives. Therefore, there is no surprise people are trying to immortalize them in every way possible. This Aussie painter, Vanessa Stockard, found the best way to do that by sneaking her three adorable cats, Kevin The Kittin, his mom Fluff Ferstenberg and the head of the adorable fluff family, Satan, into her paintings. Stockard’s process includes pieces developed without visual reference but rather from memory. These narratives incorporate domestic pets such as cats and dogs, juxtaposing the anthropomorphic nature of these animals are given by society, she infuses the personification of virtue and vice into the everyday canine and feline status quo. Cats with their fluffy comical exteriors yet instinctual urge to kill and a tendency to be cruel to their prey, dogs with their providence of happiness and friendship flung back to Churchill’s metaphor for depression. Despite this not-so -cheerful description of her works, Stockard manages to make her art somehow quirky and very enjoyable!
