Francis Bacon (artist) Francis Bacon in his studio Francis Bacon (28 October 1909 – 28 April 1992) was an Irish-born British figurative painter known for his bold, graphic and emotionally raw imagery.[1] His painterly but abstracted figures typically appear isolated in glass or steel geometrical cages set against flat, nondescript backgrounds. Bacon began painting during his early 20s and worked only sporadically until his mid-30s. Unsure of his ability as a painter, he drifted and earned his living as an interior decorator and designer of furniture and rugs. He often said in interviews that he saw images "in series", and his artistic output typically focused on a single subject or format for sustained periods. During his lifetime, Bacon was equally reviled and acclaimed. Bacon's birthplace at 63 Lower Baggot Street, Dublin He had an older brother, Harley, five years his senior,[11] two younger sisters, Ianthe and Winifred, and a younger brother, Edward. On 1 June 1940 Bacon's father died.

★ How to Make Drawing a Part Of Your Life | Daily Creativity by Keeping a Sketchbook ★ Personally, the most difficult things about drawing are a) taking the time out to draw when I’ve got other things to do b) getting started and c) thinking what to draw. - Taking time out: Anyone has 10 minutes somewhere in their day to draw, whether it’s when you wake up or just before you go to sleep (keep your sketchbook next to your bed), when you’re half-watching TV, when you’re on the train or bus, in a cafe, waiting for a cake to finish baking, when you’re sunbathing, when you’re on holiday etc. Have a kitchen timer set to 10 minutes if you like. - What to draw? - Getting started: getting rid of the blank page is the hardest thing, so just do it without thinking (what is the worst that can happen after all?) OTHER TIPS: - Keep your sketchbook at hand with the next blank page ready to be drawn on, and your pen/pencil alongside. - Have relaxing music playing in the background.

A Paper Bear Art Journal Tumblr | artjournaling: Thoughts (by QueenofTarts) Drawing Made Easy - Pen And Ink Drawing Part 1 Pen-and-ink drawing is not, as might be imagined, a comparatively recent form of artistic work, for in the great galleries of Europe one may find many interesting specimens of pen work made by Angelo, Raphael, Durer, Titian and others of the great masters. The manner of handling and style of pen work has changed, however, with modern inventions in the way of reproductive methods. The very spirit of pen work has changed only within a comparatively few years. Continue Pencil Drawing. Even after pen-and-ink drawing is taken up, practice with the pencil should be continued. Inability to make corrections easily in inked lines will discourage the student who is conscientious. Outline First With Pencil. The quoted advice is wrong. Elementary Line Exercises. Lines should be drawn as heavy as those immediately below.

Sketching Architecture Arts: Green Living Recycle plastic for environment, Richmond Arts Center shows the way For long plastic bags and bottles have been our great friends in daily life, mindless of all the hazardous effect that plastic has on environment. But, the thought of a life without plastic seems to be grueling, as there is no other cheaper way to get out of the mire. Also, discarding plastic waste in open is extra perilous for the environment. The kids at the Visual Arts Center of Richmond have shown us the way to a cleaner environment. In today’s world, the job that we are best at handling is spoiling the sacred, serene environment.
