I’m glad that you are in the world
Artwork by Kirsty Semple
I was never very good at art when I was growing up and this is a fact that I always found painful. Something in me needed to be able to draw. So after I finished education I started to teach myself from books and on the internet.
This piece that I have submitted is a portrait of my great nephew…

The Body and Soul of Art

I am a self taught trying to learn from internet and a lot of books.

Line or Color?
Article by Slater Smith
Is color or line more important in a painting? This question spans all the way back to the times of the Renaissance when classical techniques were being rediscovered and invented. Italy, the center of the Renaissance, itself debated the topic which resulted in Florence and Venice creating two separate styles.
The Florentine artists believed that linear construction was the best way to depict nature on a flat surface. To them, drawing was not only the foundation of painting, but also a way to paint. Part of this belief had to do with location. The climate in Florence was suitable for frescoes and tempera paintings. To successfully pull off works with the desired paints were difficult. Both were permanent, so fixing mistakes was tedious and unwanted. Giorgio-Vasari – Last Judgement, the Florence Cathedral Artists in the area…
