C-Girl Akito – Painting worn leather – the PRELUDE It’s time to get Akito down off the shelf and back onto the painting table. So far I’ve painted Akito around other projects but from now I’ll stick with her until she’s done. This was always my plan although it’s a little later in the year than I’d anticipated; but I’ve enjoyed taking my time on this bust. That’s just as well because I’ve found that slowing down seems to be the best way to progress with the next phase of Akito’s paint job. Next up I will be focusing on Painting Worn Leather, you can see the first part HERE! and the follow up HERE! TEXTURES AND DETAILS Painting worn leather textures to the jacket has taken my painting into new territory and I’ve had to focus a lot of time and attention on it. I’ve developed a routine of painting for a couple of hours each day and then reviewing and amending my work the next day before moving on to a new area. That makes for slow progress but progress nonetheless. The Akito bust screams out for painted material and texture contrasts and, having put a lot of effort into painting smooth skin, it’s time to paint a lot of texture on the leather jacket. I’d intended to paint Akito’s clothing in predominantly black tones but, as always, my plans have evolved as the paintjob developed. I’m now painting the leather a very battered and worn brown. I think this is both a more interesting painting challenge and a more realistic approach to Akito’s costume. Her clothing will have a randomly put together feel as opposed to a carefully colour co-ordinated fashion choice. That seems more appropriate for this character. I’ve been putting a lot of effort into painting textures in my recent projects and this bust feels like the next step. The larger scale gives a lot of scope for painting texture but it also creates a huge challenge! I’m right out of my comfort zone but that’s no bad thing as it’s keeping me on my toes. Simply stippling over the jacket, as I might in a smaller scale, will not create a distinctive enough texture. Stippling certainly has a place in this paintjob but too much stippling will only serve to create a generic texture. What’s needed here is something more nuanced and distinctive. BEYOND STIPPLING This has challenged me to experiment with the marks I make with my brush and I’ve had to work around the problem to find a solution. As I’ve painted the jacket I’ve developed an approach that, I think, is beginning to work. This is something I’ve found especially interesting as it reflects the ongoing development of my painting technique. Going back a few years my stippling was, quite literally, painting with dots now, however, it’s far more varied. More often than not when I stipple I allow the tip of the brush to skip and drag over the surface of the model making a combination of dots, dashes and scribbles. My colour palette has also undergone some trial and error to find a workable solution. Although predominantly brown I’ve painted the jackets highlights in cooler blue/grey tones as if reflecting the sky while the shadows go to black. This is similar to a NMM technique as leather can be a shiny reflective material. However, this leather is extremely old and worn and, in the most worn areas, the material would be rough and unreflective. To create these areas I’ve used a yellow brown tone and fairly course brush marks. COLOUR PALETTE Base: Flat Black/Brown Leather mix (Scalecolour) Mid Tones: Brown Leather (Scalecolour) Brown Gray (Scalecolour) Rucksack Tan (P3) Bering Blue (Scalecolour) Highlights: Midtone colours + Purity White (Scalecolour) Overall the painting of this bust has been a process of going back and forth to adjust the balance between the contrast, colours and textures. The jacket is still very much a work in progress but, after some fretting, I’m beginning to feel good about how it’s going. Join us for the next part soon (ish) David
The Indonesian well-known painter, Affandi (1907-1990), was recognized for his expressionistic paintings. He was also the teacher of Hendra Gunawan and others. He had received the Dag Hammarskjöld, International Peace Prize (Florence, Italy, 1977) and Doctor HC from University of Singapore, 1974. I wonder how these maestro painters do their work "expressively"?

I have been notably absent from this blog lately, and I miss it! One VERY pleasant reason for my absence has been one of our glorious fishing trips to the Ozarks last month, a few days after my last entry. Joseph fishes and I sketch like mad...17 pages, in all, this time! Can't wait to go back for one more sketchathon this year... I always seem to sketch this little tower... Whoops, my ink was water-soluble, so I switched to straight watercolor. My dad used to stand on the dam and fish--as many people do. It's mossy and slick and the water rushes over it, and I have YET to see anyone fall! This one was painted directly, without graphite or ink. Lovely old stonework all over in Bennett Spring... My terrific little walker-studio lets me go anywhere I want, to work...it's more comfortable than this bench, actually! And since we got home, I've been working like crazy on the upcoming North Light book...27 other artists involved in this one, all of them amazing, and I'm getting some exciting stuff in my Drop Box. The challenge is using it in the best possible place, and putting one more bit IN when it comes in after I've already "finished" the appropriate chapter! I'll be sharing bits and pieces here, as I go...lovely on-the-spot work!

Dan has started a blog that highlights the technical thoughts behind some of the paintings from his recent book. There are two posts so far, and both have great insights and close-up imagery. Hopefully Dan keeps this up, I would love to read more from him and start to create a personal resource of all of these posts for my library. For Dan's Blog visit: http://danielgerhartz.wordpress.com/ If you like the idea of saving these (or any webpage) for yourself, you could use Joliprint to convert the pages into pdf's. It's what I use, and it generally does a pretty good job -- a whole lot easier then copying and pasting everything into word or something. I then print them off and stuff them in a folder or notebook. (this makes me feel very studious, like I'm in fifth grade cutting out news articles or something)

Locks of Many Colors! How to Kettle Dye Wool and Fiber Step by step tutorial on how to dye your wool and fiber
Hey, welcome back for another batch of Sunday Inspiration over here at Folk It! HQ. This week we're looking at storage and a simple folky way in which you can completely transform it. Storage units are dirt cheap and available all over the high street, we grabbed this set of three drawers from Matalan and decided to give it a daisy makeover. Note: The headers were already printed on the drawers. YOU WILL NEED Storage of your choice Folk It! Starter Kit - Level 1 Americana Decor Chalky Finish Paint in Escape Folk It! Level 2 - Daisy Details kit Water 1. So let's get started, we're going to paint the whole unit (minus the drawers) with a wash, so remove all of the drawers prior to painting. To create the blue wash - mix 2 parts of Americana Decor Chalky Finish Paint in 'Escape' with 1 part Water and brush the mixture all over the unfinished wood, remove any excess with a soft dry cloth. Folky Tip: The wood needs to be unvarnished/unpainted to allow the wash to soak into the surface. The water will raise the grain of the wood slightly making it feel rough, so always lightly sand it using a fine sandpaper, this often removes a little of the wash we have just applied which can give it a nice finish. If you'd rather have a stronger colour then just apply a second layer of the wash but this time don't sand afterwards. 2. Now open up your Folk It! Starter Kit, we're going to use the Folk It! Dotting tool along the top edges of the individual drawers to create simple dot daisies. The piece of storage that you are painting will alter the way in which you wish to decorate it, we popped our dot daisies either side of the type already present on our drawers. 3. Next up are the comma stroke daisies, we're going to use the round brush and liner brush from the starter kit and by following the steps from our Daisy Details kit (we've included an instruction page form our kit to help you above) you can learn to paint your very own. The kit teaches you how to use your brush to create a highlight and a shadow in one single stroke, perfect for creates those leaves and petals. Folky Tip: When painting a comma stroke you are learning a 'technique' so it's important not to try and 'draw' the shape. The technique is to press the bristles down and lift the bristles. It is this action that you make and the bristles of the brush that are creating the shape. This is the first step in learning more advanced brush strokes and techniques. 4. Once you've mastered our comma stroke daisies, there are tonnes of daisies you can paint. Play around by drawing different sized circles and ovals and place the centre in different places - to the top - side - middle - bottom and see what happens when you paint the petals. This is where you can let your creativity take over and really customise your piece of storage. Folky Tip: Why not paint inside the drawers? Or on the sides of the drawers so the design peeks out every time you open a drawer? That's the beauty of decorating a project yourself, you can place the design wherever you desire. So that completes our Daisy Drawers tutorial, it's super easy and diverse, why not be a little adventurous and apply it to a wardrobe or a bedside table? Here at Folk It! we love to see your creations so if you give this tutorial a go be sure to share it and tag us using the hashtag #youcanfolkit Have a folky week, Carol x

This is an example of the hair symbolism that we find in many of Munch’s motifs. The man is dressed in black, the colour of sorrow and despair. He is clutching his heart with a bleeding hand.. In front of him a plant or flower is growing; its shape and colour look as if it could be his own bleeding heart. The colour red symbolises love, pain and blood. The red heart-shaped plant reflects Munch’s ideas that all art draws nourishment from the life-blood of the artist. The flowing shoreline, a feature of many of Munch’s love motifs, is based on Aasgaardsstrand. The Separation is decoratively and aesthetically refined. The motif is split into two independent surfaces, separated by flowing lines with subtle variations, inspired by contemporary Art Nouveau or Jugend style. The painting has a rich and varied texture, and surfaces which are both lustrous and matt. One eye-catching detail is the use of gold paint in the woman’s hair and the landscape. There is no corresponding use of this colour in any of Munch’s other paintings, but gold does fit in with the tendency towards the decorative and exclusive in the art of that period.

A rolled canvas print is normally stretched on wood stretcher bars, whereas archival paper prints are not. Additionally, a stretched canvas can be framed, but it doesn't need to be. Thus, our rolled canvas prints come in their advertized size + mirrored edges by default for easy stretching.

Then just type ''cut to size'' in our personalization box (listing top right ''add your personalization''). Note that our rolled canvas prints do not come with stretcher bars or frames.
