    Fine Art Instruction.... 

    The Creators Workshop Way!

    DRAWING & PAINTING

     

    Drawing
    We are enhancing are drawing and painting classes with more serious methods of studies.
    Our drawing classes incorporate a modified version of the classical drawing course formulated by Jean-Léon Gérôme and Charles Bargue in the late 1800's, one of the most influential art-education programs in the world. From Paris to London to New York, major museums and art schools used the course. Students from Diego Rivera, Pablo Picasso, Vincent van Gogh and hundreds of other art students spent weeks and months making exact copies of the lithographs of plaster casts, great master drawings, and life drawings.
    Many great art schools and ateliers around the US today still utilize the Bargue method and are rediscovering its value to the aspiring artist.
    I have come to the opinion as a private art instructor that despite the innovation in graphics and photography due to technology and computers, artists still need to draw! That's our job, to provide our students with great classical, traditional drawing skills, and enjoying the process.

    Traditional representational painting in Acrylics, Oils, & Watercolors
    The title sounds stuffy, but that's what we've been successfully teaching our students the past twenty years. A very sound method and approach to painting, based on the nineteenth-century ateliers and studios. Our goal is to impart a deep understanding of the guiding principles of painting, understanding of tonal values and the nature of light and how we perceive it. Through the study of landscape, seascape, still life, and portraits, the art student explores the skills of composition, an understanding of color, the prismatic palette, and methods and materials of executing a successful painting. Our approach to color and our palette is based on the Munsell color system combined with the prismatic palette passed down from Frank Vincent Dumond, which was taught at the Art Students League. Using the Munsell system puts our students light years ahead of other art school methods and through practice, any artist can attain any color in color space using this method. Dumond's palette breaks down the Munsell system making it applicable to painting any subject matter. Pretty exciting stuff!

    RECOMMENDED TOOLS AND MATERIALS

    (The pigment choices and most materials except paint thinner and linseed oil can be used for oils & acrylics.)

     

    This list is based solely on my own preference and materials that have served me well over the many years painting a variety of subject matter. As an art teacher I'm often asked to supply a materials list something I'm happy to do and to share here with you but I must preface this by stating these materials work for me! For instance, if you paint hyper-realism or abstract my choice in brushes and paints might not work for you. If you want a limited palette then my paint choices based on the prismatic palette may not work for you also. Let's give it a shot!

    Palette, Linseed Oil*, Odorless paint thinner*, Pigments, Palette knife, Brushes, Canvas, Paper towels or rags *not necessary with acrylics.

     

    PALETTE

    There are quite a few styles out there: Masterson's Sta-Wet palettes are made of lightweight white plastic that cleans up easily. The Palette Seal is airtight when closed and paints last longer

    Palette paper can be taped inside and can make clean up much easier.

    The best is homemade. Go to your local hardware store and purchase the thickest glass available. recommended size; 14x18 or 16x20. Paint one side with a light gray acrylic coating and you have an excellent palette at 1/2 the price. A thick glass works better and cleans up nicely but you have to tape up the edges to avoid getting cut.

    I prefer a gray palette surface in which I tone my canvas the same value. The white canvas and palette can make it difficult to read values correctly and since many subject matter falls somewhere on the gray scale, it helps get you closer to getting those values correct. Again this is solely subjective and if you prefer working directly on white, go for it.

     

    Recommended Pigments

    My palette is based on the prismatic palette organized by Frank Vincent Dumond who taught it to his students at the Art Students League. Many instructors passed it down to their students, some modified but mostly true to the original palette. My palette is also influenced by the Munsell color system.

     

    When I lay out my palette I'll mix out a gray scale of 9 mixtures from light to dark. When painting outdoors I'll also mix out a string of greens and a mixture of cobalt blue. ( You can mix out a string of Ultramarine blue in place of Cobalt blue.

    Here is my recommended list of pigments for oils and acrylics. I personally use Gamblin, Colors brand. Windsor & Newton is fine and widely available in most stores. Golden brand is an excellent acrylic but lquitex and Winsor Newton are great brands as well. The key is to have a palette of paints that are consistent in quality and in availability since they vary in color from brand to brand. It's always good to experiment but you should settle in with colors you're comfortable with.

     

    PIGMENTS

    Titanium White

    Ivory Black

    Cadmium Lemon yellow

    Cadmium Orange

    Napthol Red

    Quinacridone Magenta

    Dioxyzine Purple

    Ultramarine Blue

    Cobalt Blue

    Pthalo Turquoise

    Pthalo green

    Yellow Ochre

     

    CANVAS

    Avoid generic and store (economy) brands when possible. They're barely gesso'ed and don't offer a desirable painting surface.

    Cotton is much less expensive than linen, and has become the more popular support for oil and acrylic painting. A properly prepared cotton canvas has longevity similar to linen, and is more flexible and easier to stretch properly. Polyester has become popular lately for it's durability and resistance to changes do to extreme temperatures.

    Regarding stretched canvas or panels, I've been using quality canvas boards for plein air paintings and smaller size canvases. Aluminum is probably the most archival but can be costly.

     

    BRUSHES

    I recommend Robert Simmons brand, simply because they are a good quality value for your money. They also make an economy line called "Simply Simmons". I also liek Kolibri brushes, made in Germany and available at www.Naturalpigments.com

    I recommend Flats and Filberts as they are excellent all-utility brushes. Sizes should include 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16. (Most but not all brushmakers conform to the same standard in brush sizes).

    Now the purists might disagree with me here but I found cheap Amzon or "Michaels" brand brushes can get the job done as well as their expensive counterparts! We have these inexpensive small student brushes in our school and I love the really small ones for details in portraits, tree branches, and those little squiggly lines in waves. And as long as I'm confessing, I love hardware store house paint brushes for laying in big areas on larger canvases.

     

    PAPER TOWELS & RAGS

    I recommend old t-shirts or cotton rags over paper towels. The fibers from the paper towels can get in your brushes and eventually end up on your canvas. Also you can get a lot more use out of rags which makes them more environmentally friendly. Be sure to dispose of rags and paper towels in a safe paint can and be sure to dispose of daily.

     

    SOME PERSONAL NOTES:

    - When buying colors, always avoid Hues. They're cheaper but they have less color pigment which makes color mixing inaccurate.

    - Don't skimp. Buy the best materials and tools you can afford, as they will make the painting experience more enjoyable and will pay for themselves in the long run.

    -A French Easel A great investment, the french easel combines a sketchbox, easel, and canvas carrier in one, necessary for location and perfect for transporting your materials back and forth.

    The Hudson River School: Birth of The Great American Landscape

    broken image

     

     

    The Hudson River School: Birth of The Great American Landscape

    by Elizabeth Tiernan

     

    In the mid-1800s, a group of artists dramatically changed the direction of landscape painting with their images of the wildly untamed Hudson River valley in New York. This group became known as the Hudson River School, although they were neither part of an actual school nor a formal art movement. While European artists of the time were producing more traditional paintings, these artists were inspired by the natural beauty of America’s undeveloped countryside.

     

    Humble Beginnings

     

     

    Prior to the emergence of the Hudson River School, many American painters preferred the style and subject matter of the more traditional European artists. Landscapes were not considered important subject matter for professional artists at the time. The Hudson River artists, however, saw incredible possibilities in the vast expanses of undeveloped American terrain. Many of these artists created their sketches outdoors then completed their paintings indoors in their art studios.

     

    The Hudson River School landscape style was initially influenced by the Romanticism movement that was happening in Europe, and their mission was to convey the beauty of America’s countryside. Their paintings embraced the concept of the sublime, which was a key theme in the art of the Romanticism era. The sublime placed a great emphasis on evoking strong emotions and less importance on photo-realistic representations.

     

    Like most artistic styles that were not named until many years after their artwork was created, the group of American painters did not receive the name of Hudson River School until many years after the style fell out of favor. The source of the name is not confirmed, but it was generally understood to have a somewhat negative connotation, implying that landscape paintings did not have universal appeal and were not appropriate subjects for serious artists.

     

     

    An Overnight Success

     

     

    The earliest of the Hudson River School paintings were created by Thomas Doughty who was one of the first artists to create paintings of the Hudson River valley. But the group’s most celebrated artist was Thomas Cole. Cole had no formal art training when he first began creating sketches of the Catskill Mountains. His style of combining the concepts of realism and idealism was quite original at the time. At the start of his career, he completed 3 small paintings of his landscapes and displayed them in a bookshop in New York City where they attracted the attention of three more established artists. John Trumbull, William Dunlap and Asher Durand were impressed with Cole’s unique style and helped launch the young artist’s career by bringing widespread attention to his work.

     

    Cole became an instant success virtually overnight and later gained recognition as the founder of the Hudson River School. The paintings he created were often praised not only for their expertly rendered details, but also for conveying both the beauty of the untamed land and the promise of modern development. Over the course of his career, Cole trained only one student; a young artist named Frederic Church. Church learned well under Cole’s guidance and eventually found success as a member of the second generation of Hudson River School artists.

     

    Other artists of the Hudson River School hoped to find the same success as Cole, and they began creating paintings in areas around upstate New York. Their technique was similar to Cole’s, sketching on site in pencil and paint and finishing their paintings indoors in their studios. The resulting paintings were often composites depicting a more idealized scene than a realistic rendering of the landscape as it naturally appeared. This was done with the intention of drawing powerful emotions from viewers, as if to overwhelm them with the beauty of nature.

     

    Asher Durand, one of the artists who discovered Thomas Cole’s work in the shop window, was strongly influenced by the British Romanticist painter John Constable. Constable painted directly from the outdoor scene in front of him, rather than returning to his studio to develop his paintings as Cole had done. Durand became a close friend of Cole’s and after Cole died in 1848, he took over as the leader of the Hudson River School. Under Durand’s guidance, the Hudson River artists gradually began to favor a more naturalistic approach to their paintings.

     

     

    The Second Generation

     

     

    The second generation of the Hudson River School included artists Albert Bierstadt, John Frederick Kensett, and Thomas Cole’s protégé, Frederic Church. These artists were strongly influenced by the style and process of the original Hudson River painters, but they wanted to expand into different areas of America. Both Church and Bierstadt became very well known. Church began exploring in South America, while Bierstadt focused on the terrain of the Western states. Their canvases were typically quite large and featured composite scenes, created to show panoramic views of the wilderness. Church, like his instructor Thomas Cole, made many sketches outdoors at his chosen locations, and developed them in his studio into large, imposing canvases. Bierstadt took many photographs while on location near the Rocky Mountains which he later used to develop his paintings. Through his work in this area, he became known as “The Painter of the West.”

     

     

    Light, Water and the Rocky Mountains

     

     

    While Church and Bierstadt brought their passion for landscape painting to new locations, John Frederick Kensett decided to take his landscapes in a new direction. He began working to develop a style which later became known as Luminism. His landscapes were studies of light upon water, and he returned to paint the same locations multiple times. Kensett’s canvases were smaller than those of his other Hudson River colleagues and were a significant departure from the large composite scenes of those other artists. The Luminist style he favored featured softer, less-defined brushstrokes that in some ways resembled paintings in the Impressionist style. Kensett enjoyed helping to promote other artists and was one of the founders of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

     

    In the 1860s, three other artists, Thomas Moran, William Keith and Thomas Hill, joined Bierstadt in his focus on the American West. They eventually became known as the Rocky Mountain School. The large composite paintings of these artists captured the hope and promise of western expansion into the wild and unmarred terrain. It was not uncommon for these artists to join expeditions into areas like the Rocky Mountains, the Grand Canyon and the land that was later to become Yellowstone National Park.

     

     

    The Father of American Landscape Painting

     

     

    George Inness created his best-known paintings during the later years of the Hudson River School. He was often described as “the father of American landscape painting.” As a young man, Inness studied briefly under French painter Regis Francois Gignoux, who instilled in him the lessons of the Old Masters. Inness also studied the work of Thomas Cole and Asher Durand and began to consider the possibility of combining the styles of the two artists.

     

    Inness made multiple trips to Europe over several decades, influenced by the Old Masters and several prominent European painters but he identified more with the emerging Barbizon School of painters. The American Barbizon art movement, along with the Impressionists, began to gain popularity as the Hudson River School’s style lost momentum. The Barbizon style included darker tones and looser brush strokes than those used in the Hudson River School paintings.

     

    The process Inness developed to create his paintings involved observing the landscape before him and making detailed sketches of individual elements, but not of the scene as a whole. Once he returned to his studio, he blended all the pieces together into a finished landscape.

     

     

    The Legacy of the Hudson River School

     

     

    By the late 1800s, the popularity of the Hudson River School style of painting began to fade. Some critics dismissed the style as “historic” and praised the newer ideas ushered in by the Barbizon School and the American Impressionists. However, the Hudson River School artists left a lasting impression on generations of painters who came after them. Later artists have recognized the Hudson River School’s enormous contribution to the development of American landscape painting.

     

    Many examples of the Hudson River School paintings can be seen in museums in New York, Washington D.C., and around the nation. Frederic Church’s former home, known as Olana State Historic Park, offers tours of his estate and a museum. The museum displays both Church’s art and the work of contemporary artists that were inspired by the Hudson River School.

    Fans of the Hudson River School can also visit Thomas Cole’s home and art studio at The Thomas Cole National Historic Site in Catskill, NY, where his paintings and sketches are on display. This site also sponsors The Hudson River School Art Trail, a series of hiking and paddling excursions where participants can experience first-hand views of the glorious landscapes that were the inspiration of the Hudson River School paintings.

  • Frederick Waugh, America's Greatest Seascape Painter

    You can feel the pounding of the surf and the smell the salty air with almost every one of his paintings.
    Frederick Waugh is widely considered America's greatest and most popular marine painter. A fellow Garden Stater at birth, Waugh was born in Bordentown in 1861, but his quest for painting waves against a rocky coastline took him all around the world, creating a body of work unsurpassed by any other seascape artist to this day. Many years ago I came into possession of an "American Artist" magazine, with a great article on Frederick Waugh by George R. Havens, dated 1969.

    I'm excited to share this wonderful read with you and whether you like seascape painting or not, this an excellent primer for the painter at any level.....Enjoy
