You can feel the love and trust between this little girl and her dog. Every artist struggles with working and refining a piece until it's almost overdone. I love the movement and feeling of sketch studies because they are raw and full of emotion. This beautiful handmade paper has deckled edges and seeds and fibers through it. It is perfectly "imperfect" so it may not be perfectly squared and which adds to it's beauty. I have shown it framed in a vintage "floating" frame for reference only. Frame not included. Copyright will not appear on print. - Art print created from a hand drawn original sketch - Printed on 8.5 x 11" aged handmade seed paper - Ships flat packaged in a bend resistant mailer and a cellophane sleeve - Ships within 3-5 days of payment - Printed locally in the USA

"To live is to war with trolls." -- Henrik Ibsen One of the most interesting stories from Deborah Solomon's new biography of Norman Rockwell involves his famous series of paintings, the Four Freedoms. During World War II, Rockwell wanted to aid the war effort but was too old to enlist and not physically suited to be a fighter. He set out instead to illustrate Franklin Roosevelt's "Four Freedoms" in a way that would inspire patriotism and encourage the purchase of war bonds. After sketching his four paintings, Rockwell went to Washington to donate his art to the government but the government wasn't interested. Rockwell showed his drafts to the Office of War Information but the official in charge responded: The last war, you illustrators did the posters. This war we're going to use fine arts men, real artists. If you want to make a contribution to the war effort you can do some of these pen and ink drawings for the Marine Corps calisthenics manual. Solomon deduces that the official who rejected Rockwell's art was the "pompous" Archibald MacLeish, poet and Pulitzer prize winning playwright. MacLeish was the Assistant Director of the agency. He said he preferred to inspire the country with pictures from "real" artists such as Marc Chagall, Salvador Dali and Japanese artist Yasuo Kuniyoshi (6 months after Pearl Harbor!) Rarely has a misguided act of cultural arrogance been so promptly, thoroughly and satisfyingly refuted. Stung, Rockwell took the rejected paintings to the Saturday Evening Post which used them as internal illustrations. Editor Ben Hibbs later wrote: The results astonished us all....Requests to reprint flooded in from other publications. Various government agencies and private organizations made millions of reprints and distributed them not only in this country but all over the world. Those four pictures quickly became the best known and most appreciated paintings of that era. They appeared right at a time when when the war was going against us on the battle fronts, and the American people needed the inspirational message which they conveyed so forcefully and so beautifully. Subsequently the Treasury Department took the original paintings on a tour of the nation as the centerpiece of a Post art show to sell war bonds. They were viewed by 1,222,000 people in 16 leading cities and were instrumental in selling $132,992,539 worth of bonds. The Post received 60,000 letters about the paintings: In the meantime, the imperious Archibald MacLeish lasted a mere eight months in his job at the Office of War Information. After he left, the OWI sent a film crew to Rockwell's studio and filmed a five minute newsreel about his Four Freedoms. The government's newsreel played in movie theaters around the country. MacLeish was a brilliant intellectual but he let his reflexive cultural arrogance substitute for thinking about what type of art would be effective. In doing so, he became just one more of those obstructive trolls described by Ibsen.

Imagine trying to build a two-story tenement building on a one-story community-theater stage—all on a tight budget in two weeks. That's a problem a friend and I recently faced. First we planned our work: I designed a structure with shortened stories, and my friend turned my pencil sketches into 3D CAD drawings. Then we worked our plan, framing walls and floors, removing low-hanging lights, and installing pool noodles around rafters to keep actors from hitting their heads. When we finished, the director was thrilled. The show even had a couple linebackers singing songs from the second-story windows. That's the power of problem solving. Did you notice the dynamic between my friend and me? I love to think creatively, and he loves to think analytically. I came up with the broad strokes of the design, and he made sure all the details worked. Left alone, I would have come up with a grand vision and been unable to bring it to life. Left alone, my friend would not have known where to begin. Critical and creative thinking have to work together to solve problems.

Another artist with a great style and a captivating way of presenting his drawings. Russian artist Rim Umyarov wears many hats, this is a list of what he does: Teaches art, artist, designer, architect, art author, graffiti artist, airbrush artist, international tattoo artist. What attracted my attention are his drawings, almost realistic, with a how to draw in the margin; showing a couple of steps to demonstrate the progression. Sketches of everyday objects made very charming thanks to the arrangement of the drawings and the tone of the paper, which helps give it that lovely vintage look. Ps. I gave the images some titles.

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. The colors blend together in a way that makes the painting look almost ethereal, and the detail of the boat and the waves crashing against its hull creates a calming and peaceful atmosphere. The colors and composition create an almost dream-like image, making it perfect for anyone looking to bring a bit of serenity and beauty into their home.
Instead of a flower painting tutorial I am sharing some bird sketches today. I am using drawing ink to sketch these birds. For coloring I am using watercolors, markers and colored pencils.
