Impressionism/Post-Impressionism: (l)Overture

Tuesday, April 6th, 2010

Impressionism was a 19th-century art movement that began as a loose association of Paris-based artists whose independent exhibitions brought them to prominence in the 1870s and 1880s. Post-Impressionists extended Impressionism while rejecting its limitations: they continued using vivid colours, thick application of paint, distinctive brushstrokes and real-life subject matter, but they were more inclined to emphasize geometric forms, to distort form for expressive effect, and to use unnatural or arbitrary colour.This video is part of the “Palette” project and pays homage to Impressionism and Post-Impressionism. Video by Mark Garvey, song “(l)Overture” by Bill Hooper. Please visit www.MarkGarvey.co.uk for more details.

Vincent (Starry, Starry night) with Van Gogh’s paintings

Saturday, March 6th, 2010

Don McLean’s famous song Starry Night, a tribute to Vincent Van Gogh, one of the greatest painter the world has known.

Van Gogh spent his early life working for a firm of art dealers and after a brief spell as a teacher, became a missionary worker in a very poor mining region. He did not embark upon a career as an artist until 1880. Initially he only worked with somber colors, until an encounter in Paris with Impressionism and Neo-Impressionism, whose brighter colours and style of painting he developed into a uniquely recognizable style, which was fully developed during time spent at Arles.

He produced more than 2,000 works, including around 900 paintings and 1100 drawings and sketches, during the last ten years of his life. Most of his best-known works were produced in the final two years of his life, during which time he cut off part of his left ear following a breakdown in his friendship with Paul Gauguin. After this he suffered recurrent bouts of mental illness, and committed suicide.

Paint Like Picasso: Oil Paintings by Paul Cumes

Saturday, February 6th, 2010

http://www.paulcumes.com

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. While you’re here, check out some of my other art videos and for even more excitement visit my website link above.

Oil Painting Palette Set-Up by Paul Cumes

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.
