William (Bill) Alexander was born in 1915 in East Prussia. As a youth he used his artistic talents to paint carriages and murals for local aristocrats. After the war, Bill and his family immigrated to North America to pursue their dream of building a home and to share Bills gift of painting.

Bill and his wife, Margaret, traveled throughout the United States and Canada teaching painting and making friends, often selling paintings to meet living expenses along the way. During this time Bill worked hard to develop his wet-on-wet technique and products. He developed the base medium Magic White, extra-thick oil paints, and special palette knives and brushes. These products work together to help artists, even a beginning artist, create beautiful scenes on the canvas.

By 1974, when he completed his first Emmy-winning Magic of Oil painting television show, Bills dream had become a reality. He had built himself a home in North America a home in the hearts of thousands who discovered with Bills help that they could have the almighty power to fire in and be happy painters too. Today, Bill continues to teach the world to paint through his television shows available on DVD.

Claude Monet & Pierre-Auguste Renoir – my favourite impressionism-drawers.
Not all pictures are pure Impressionism ( also new-(Neo-)impressionism / pointilism ).
But they’re all really beautiful in my eyes =)

I like impressionism because it’s a very flexible and soft art to apply the colour.
Very romantic ;D

My favourite painting is “Le petite Irène” (first painting after his portrait).

Btw, Monet had drawn so many pictures from the same place because when he went old he can’t see so much of the world anymore, so he tried to draw everything with an other daylight and perspective.

Sorry for my bad english again .

It’s one of the finest collections of modern art anywhere in the world, but you won’t find it in New York or Paris.

Dozens of works by the likes of Pablo Picasso, Andy Warhol and Jackson Pollock — together valued at roughly $3 billion — are locked in a basement in Tehran.

Only a handful of westerners have had an up-close look at the underground archives in Tehran’s Museum of Contemporary Art. ABC News was granted exclusive access inside the vault that holds a priceless collection Iranian authorities choose to keep locked away.

What was revealed was astonishing: a series of paintings by Picasso; a wall’s worth of pop art by Roy Lichtenstein; Warhol portraits of Jackie Onassis, Mick Jagger and Marilyn Monroe; a Diego Rivera self portrait; and a painting many consider to be the best Jackson Pollock outside of North America.

The collection was supposed to be a gift to the Iranian people. It was assembled by the Shah of Iran and his wife using public funds during the oil boom of the 1970s. Tehran’s Museum of Contemporary Art was inaugurated in 1977, designed to be one of the world’s landmark modern art institutions, with an international collection worthy of that ambition.

But just months later came the Islamic Revolution. The Shah was deposed, Ayatollah Khomeinei was became the country’s leader, and in the Revolutionary, anti-American climate the museum’s western art was banished to the basement.

Why aren’t the pieces shown to the public? The reasons are a mix of ideology and practicality.

The collection is huge and the museum small. Museum director Dr. Habibollah Sadeghi, himself a painter appointed by conservative President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad, says there is no space to properly put the works on display.

Others question whether the museum could properly protect the valuable pieces from theft or damage were they displayed openly.

Conservative Muslim ideology — a powerful governing force in Iran — has played a similarly forceful role in keeping the pieces underground. Aside from the anti-Western overtones of Revolutionary Iran many of the pieces are considered too racy for a conservative Muslim society. When some of the collection briefly went on display in 2005 Andre Derain’s “Golden Age,” a 1905 painting of female nudes, was notably absent. Also hidden was the centerpiece of a Frances Bacon painting triptych. The center panel could be taken as homoerotic, showing two naked men asleep in bed.

There are plans to display the collection permanently once museum space is expanded, Sadeghi said. If those plans materialize — full-time public access to view the pieces — it would fulfill the dreams of art lovers worldwide. “In two or three years we can improve the museum and have a permanent exhibition,” said Sadeghi, adding that the museum is hoping to buy more Western works in the coming years to fill out the collection.

Like oil painting? You can get this painting, by doing it yourself. We take you through it step by step.

Here you see glimpses of how we go about a landscape painting when created in Fine Art Techniques. Experience the value of advanced technique, see it in close up, watch the different techniques work their magic on the canvas. You paint along at home in your studio along with Robert. The DVD’s have been designed to go at the right pace for you.

This is a fully professional work of art, which you too can do. Elements of the landscape are in this painting, which you can apply to your other work and build your landscape painting career – or just have fun while you paint with success.

Art is often taught institutionally to painters by breaking it up into things like color, line, composition, texture, tone and so forth, but it all means nothing unless the painter has the technique to place their vision on canvas. Technique is your toolbox. Start there. Get your techniques and then you can create, and worry about all those other things if you want to – in fact, you may find that when you feel you can paint your vision powerfully, you don’t wish to be hindered by institutional thinking. Power up your toolbox and just do your thing!

This YouTube presentation is sampled from our Fine Art Landscape DVD available at our website. (Erratum: the DVD Triple pack is 5 hours long, not four, as titled in this YouTube video: our apologies – but better for you!)

Contact us if you’d like further assistance, we’re delighted to help.

Distributors welcome.

The demonstration of the lemon painting is included on the instructional DVD described below. Please visit: http://hgroatii.blogspot.com/, or complete an ebay.com search on Hall Groat II Instructional DVD’s to purchase the current DVD outlined below. Prints of this painting can be purchased at:

http://hallgroat.imagekind.com/NewYorkArtCollection

Instructional DVD & Manual, Volume 1 Traditional Realist Oil Painting

American artist, Hall Groat II, in his unique instructional DVD series demonstrates the techniques of the lost art of traditional realist oil painting. In volume #1 he presents five comprehensive demonstrations, offering nearly 2 hours of solid instruction. The demonstrations included are of compositions involving: three lemons, radishes, ballet slippers, railroad conductor’s pocket watch, and teacup & saucer.

Through his innovative, step-by-step approach he outlines the process that was used by such 19th century painters as Edgar Degas and Edward Manet. Using an easily understood teaching approach, Hall reveals the secrets behind creating dramatic light and shadow illusions to compelling atmospheric spaces, all the way to rendering convincing three-dimensional illusions of form and space.

The included DVD, along with the accompanying manual, present a concise step-by-step system, offering both the beginning and the professional artist the necessary tools to successfully create traditional realist still life oil paintings. Such topics are covered as establishing background variation and movement, accents and cast shadows, and realizing the primary and secondary planes of the motif. Each of the five demonstrations is divided into phases with clearly stated topic headings that correspond to the steps presented in the instructional guide. A glossary of painting terms is also included! All of the demonstrations are approximately 15-30 minutes in length.

Hall has taught art for over twenty years, and currently is an Associate Professor of Art at a college in New York. ARTNews Magazine critic, Gerard Haggerty, states that Hall Groat II’s still life paintings evoke the big picture that we call art history, including painters like Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin, Edwin Dickinson, and his teacher Lennart Anderson.” Collectors of his work have expressed that the work is “Alive, full of grace vitality and beauty, capturing light that is sublime in nature.”

Groat is included in important private and public collections worldwide. These include actors, Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones, Clear Channel Communications, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Cellular One, Sheraton Hotel Corporation, Binghamton University, Everson Museum of Art, Munson-Williams Proctor Institute of Art, The State University of New York system, Roberson Museum and Science Center and Washington Jefferson College.

April 2007 Painting Video edition #1. Oil painting on canvas. I love this period of Picasso’s work and they are really fun to copy. Picasso himself loved to copy. For example, he copied a Cezanne still life for Gertrude Stein. These Picasso copies are not meant to be exact and take about an hour each to do.

A demonstration of how I go about setting up my palette for oil painting..

I’ve recieved some great questions so Im going to answer them here (confounded word count!):

As far as what goes on in the palette, I mix basic groups, more so when Im landscape painting, but I dont spend too much time planning (on purpose). Dont use as many greys as Picasso did but maybe I will some day. I use a lot of white, basing my mixes on it like Gauguin did. I love to experiment and avoid formulas. My palette always changes and often spins out of control but thats ok as I only take an hour or two to paint. Sometimes I work with 2 palettes. I rarely use a single hue to harmonize from the palette but rather let the wet (or dry) underpainting unify the painting based on the mood or temp I want to express. Also the messy brushes help add unpredicted colors and if it gets muddy I just lift it with more pigment. Need lots of rags to do this and I limit my use of turpenoid, going with pure linseed oil and sometimes copal medium and Damar varnish. I should do a demo on my way of using mediums and mixing..
Ive done a few great paintings on a limited palette (see Presidio Doorway on my site) but the painting ends up looking a bit too traditional for me so I usually dont do that. Lately I think, the more color the better and the more one can successfully get away with using pure color balanced with a touch of tonalism (one to three ration of complimentary colors) the better.

- 30 Seconds To Mars Painting Stephen Quick-
Hello all!!!
As you can see I have made a bit more effort on this painting video of Jared Leto from 30 Seconds to Mars (30STM), I hope you approve!

The painting is on canvas, painted in acrylic and took me about 3/4 hours not totally sure, yes it was drawn first on the canvas before painted, im not that good!! But I haven’t filmed the drawing bit maybe in the future I will.

Okay as for more effort in the video, most of my time lapse painting films are just that a time lapse shot on a creative web cam, this one has been speeded up 3000% or something like that, filmed on a mini DV cam direct to the hard drive and edited on premiere.

Of course the song is by 30 Seconds To Mars “Beautiful Lie” from the album of the same name.

The painting is by me Stephen Quick, I do not have a song or an album but I do have lots of paintings and a lovely web site that you can visit to see all these lovely things:
