Blog: Tumblr of the Week: Oh, Rinji! - Doodlers Anonymous. How to Perfect your Impasto Painting. I started out painting in a very controlled way. I’d always been heavily influenced by Lucian Freud and work that was hard won; photographic in a way but thick with paint. However when I moved back to Leicester from Bristol, it just wasn’t making me happy anymore. I literally bought canvases and big brushes, and decided to work on the head.

I tried to make it more physical and expressive with thicker paint and took more chances; with the work I did before, I wasn’t taking a chance and suddenly I was working on something that could go wrong at any minute. Subjects I treat all of my paintings as ‘portraits’. It began when my granddad lent me a pair of his old brogues years ago and said I should paint them. With a subject that is quite emotive, I push myself to ‘feel’ paint rather than just see it as a mechanical device. Heads are my constant – the subject I go back to if I’m having a difficult time or want to push the work forward. Composition Technique www.paul-wright.com. Női- és férfi aktfotók a fényképezés korai szakaszából (18+) - Mai Manó Ház.

Az aktfényképezés története egészen a fotográfia születéséig nyúlik vissza, hiszen Daguerre felfedezése után nem sokkal már az első aktfotók (dagerrotípiák) is elkészültek. Az ezidőtájt készült aktképekre a pikáns témavilág volt jellemző, majd később egyre nagyobb igény jelentkezett a művészi aktok és az erotikus képek jelentésének pontos megfogalmazására, valamint a kettő közötti határvonal meghúzására. A fényképezésben élen járó országok sajátos megjelölést találtak a művészi akt megnevezésére, amellyel kellőképpen kifejezhető volt a tevékenység művészi rangja. Az angol nude és a francia le nu artistique a művészi igénnyel alkotott, meztelen testet ábrázoló művet jelöli, szemben az angol naked és a francia nu kifejezésekkel, amelyekkel a természetes meztelenséget, a pucérságot illették. A magyar nyelv nem rendelkezik megfelelő szakkifejezéssel a meztelen testet ábrázoló műalkotások megnevezésére. Fotó: Ismeretlen: Ülő, női akt, c.1850 Fotó: Nadar: Álló női akt, c. 1860-61.

A- Z of Watercolour Techniques. When we learn to write, we begin by learning to shape letters. We then join these together to form words, then words form sentences, sentences form paragraphs and paragraphs form stories. After all, we wouldn’t dream of expecting someone learning a new language to start by writing a novel!

Yet when we are learning to paint we want to start by painting a picture. Beginners are often inspired by the subject matter, which they often ‘draw up’ on to watercolour paper, and set about studiously ‘colouring in’ the shapes with washes. The act of simply colouring in shapes with washes doesn’t allow opportunity for the medium itself to be fully exploited. We know our arty alphabet is a few letters short, but it's nearly there!
