About: The Impressionists

A guide to the art movement known as impressionism in the 1800′s

Impressionism, French Impressionnisme, a major movement, first in painting and later in music, that developed chiefly in France during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Impressionist painting comprises the work produced between about 1867 and 1886 by a group of artists who shared a set of related approaches and techniques. The most conspicuous characteristic of Impressionism was an attempt to accurately and objectively record visual reality in terms of transient effects of light and colour. The principal Impressionist painters were Claude Monet, Pierre Auguste Renoir, Camille Pissarro, Alfred Sisley, Berthe Morisot, Armand Guillaumin, and Frédéric Bazille, who worked together, influenced each other, and exhibited together independently. Edgar Degas and Paul Cézanne also painted in an Impressionist style for a time in the early 1870s. The established painter Édouard Manet, whose work in the 1860s greatly influenced Monet and others of the group, himself adopted the Impressionist approach about 1873.

This video is made for any person who wants to learn oil painting. This video will give you a solid base of knowledge. http://merrillk.com
Today, I am going to show you how to paint a puppy dog. I made this video for beginner to intermediate level artists, who wish to learn about traditional painting…I will try to show you how to paint. step by step. While I can imagine that painting a realistic looking puppy is intimidating for someone new to art, I will try to make my instruction as clear as possible, so that you can get in to great habits for the future. Once you are in good habits, you will progress very quickly.

I split this lesson in to four parts.

1.) Part one will cover what you need to know before you paint.
2.) Part two will give you an effective strategy for painting realistically The mentality of rendering (aka drawing what you see)
3.) Part three will walk you through the process of painting and I will give you tips while I paint. The process of “sculpting” a painting
4.) Part four will actually be a separate video and it will discuss glazing…a great finishing strategy. Glazing: Finishing a painting (Covered in another video)

Part 1.) I have two points to go over in Part 1-

1-1- First, pick a surface to work on. When I was learning painting, I would use cardboard in place of canvas to save money. Ten years later my original oil paintings are still in good shape. However, this would not be the case if I didn’t prime the cardboard with layers of Gesso. Without getting over technical, gesso gives your surface a protective layer that will prevent the oil from being over absorbed. Try to remember this silly saying, “Paint with cream, not with butter or milk!” No, im not saying that you should break out the dairy prodicts…..I am referring to the consistency of the paint. Cream is not a solid like butter …..and is not watery like milk. When you apply paint to a surface it should be creamy in texture. You can make the paint creamy by adding about three to four drops of painting medium to the paint that is sitting on your palette. The object in my hand right now is called a palette knife. I used it to mix the paint with the painting medium. For a long time, I considered this step trivial, but it makes a difference!

1-2 Oil Painters use mineral spirits to clean off their brushes and to thin out a paint mixture. Mineral Spirits is also known commercially as paint thinner and sold as an art supply called turpenoid for quadruple the price. You will only need a SMALL amount of Mineral Spirits because its very powerful. Use it sparingly when you wish to thin out your paint; because too much will make the paint runny and “milk-like” in consistency. Here is a great tip to remember when cleaning your brushes…..WIPE-DIP-WIPE. As silly as that sounds, commit it to memory….In other words….. wipe your brush with a paper towel…..Then dip it in to the mineral spirits and swish it around….followed by another wipe with the paper towel to take the extra spirits off your brush. The last wipe is especially important to prevent the excess mineral spirits from thinning out your paint too much

Part 2

Now you will learn a great strategy to help you paint what you see. I call this strategy, “jigsaw puzzle observation” because it is similar to putting a jigsaw puzzle together. Jigsaw puzzles are fun because you fit shapes together to create an image………I want you to think the same way when you paint. Try to see and identify shapes and then put them together like a puzzle. Painters sculpt and manipulate the paint on the surface of a painting until the shapes fit together as a recognizable image. Here….let me show you what I mean…..When you try this, I recommend that you get in the habit of looking at your reference image at least once for every five seconds; and then paint what you observed. After you get the bigger shapes in…..work your way down to the smaller shapes…….. If you feel that you cant work the paint any more. Let it dry and repeat this step on top of the dried paint. You have an advantage by using paint because it is opaque and it can cover over any mistake…… Take your time with this step. Skyscrapers cant be erected without solid supports and good paintings cannot be made without careful placement.

TodaysNetworkNews: 13 February 2010 – UN MINUSTAH: Port-au-Prince, Haiti – One of Haitis richest resources is its paintings, recognized throughout the world for their bold colors and images.

Last months earthquake not only destroyed homes, but many of the countrys rich culture and artists.

Pierre Jean Elie has been painting for the last 12 years, His friend and master teacher Claude Mathurin did not survive. Like many people here, Pierre Jean hasnt come to terms with what happened. He is unable to paint the events.

SOUNDBITE (Creole) Pierre Jean Elie, street painter:
The essential element that you would put in such a painting would be the crumbling houses and people crying for help and saying Jesus, Jesus. For that you need a lot of creativity and imagination. It was already difficult to make a living of art. But now that the situation has worsened it is becoming impossible.

The quake is taking an economic toll on street artists too. With tourism at a stand still, there is no one to buy the art. Pierre Jean has two remaining paintings that were given to him by his teacher. All the rest were destroyed when his house collapsed.

Even though times are tough, he cant bring himself to sell the paintings.

SOUNDBITE (Creole) Pierre Jean Elie, street painter:
Ive got two of his paintings. Even though business has died away, I am showing these paintings, but they are not for sale. Of course I could ask some money for it, but if I sold them, it would be like selling my friends soul. No I cant sell them.

Berthony Saint Phare has been painting earthquake scenes.

SOUNDBITE (Creole) Berthony Saint Phard, street painter:
These paintings are not realistic, but I made them as impressionist. So, as soon as someone watches them, they know it is showing the catastrophe. Those who have not been here will see that these are Haitian houses and when they see the cracked pillars, they will know it is handling about the earthquake.

He knows his paintings will not be bought by those who are trying to forget the bad memories. But he says he has a role to play in showing the rest of the world, and in particular to the Haitian people living abroad what really happened.

SOUNDBITE (Creole) Berthony Saint Phard, street painter:
Many people will be interested in this painting. Some of them might not want to buy it, because it carries bad memories. But for people living abroad, in the diaspora, who have followed the events on internet, they will see that this is how reality looked like.

It may be his own way of dealing with the trauma. ………………………………………………………………………… (UNITED NATIONS STABILIZATION MISSION FOR HAITI: MINUSTAH ) …………………………………………………………………………TodaysNetworkNews:
