Among many of the other things obtainable online that are unique and are results of beautiful craftsmanship there are also some products maybe some of us moreover never heard about or are astonished to find out the amount of time that are put into them. Some of these products may include things like hand crafted glass jewelry, glass blowing and sand art! All these products have some sort of a account that goes way back. Take hand crafted glass jewelry for model, this art has been used in Jordan and Mesopotamia as far back as 4500 BC and 3000 BC! Hand blown glass has been around because middle of the last century B.C. Sand art was born in Petra Jordan back in the 1920s or previous.

Sand art is the formation of different colored particles of sand in a bottle. These creations are totally stunning to say the least. And, the amount of time it takes as well as the amount of passion that goes into creation these pieces of art is hard to believe. I watched a video on somebody making one of these sand art items and the entire time my mouth was just gaping open. I couldn't consider the way the "picture" just appeared within the bottle.

Aeration Oils or Mediums Used in Oil Painting

The various oils used as mediums in oil painting are known as aeration oils. The term is useful as a prompt that different oils have different aeration times and properties. These mediums are varied with oil paint both to adjust the way the paint handle directly from the tube (for example, make it thinner or lengthen the drying time) and to modify the character of the paint from what you get directly from a paint tube (for example, make it transparent or opaque, gloss or matt).

Ideal mediums are colourless, lasting, flexible, and do not power the colour of a pigment. Knowledge the exacting properties of a drying oil is part of the vital technical knowledge an oil painter should have. Keep in mind that when an oil paint feels dry to the touch, it will still be aeration under the surface for a quantity of time, which is why the principle of painting 'fat over lean' is so important in oil painting.

Linseed oil is complete from the seeds of the flax plant. It adds gloss and simplicity to paints and is obtainable in several forms. It dries very methodically, making it ideal for underpainting and original layers in a painting. Refined linseed oil is a well-liked, all-purpose, pale to light yellow oil which dries withing three to five days. Cold-pressed linseed oil dry somewhat faster than advanced linseed oil and is considered to be the best quality linseed oil.

How to Paint Reflections in Water, With Watercolor Paints

This watercolor painting class shows you three ways to paint mirror image in water. I've used the same picture for all three approaches so you can easily evaluate results. The aim is to learn special ways of painting water, so that you can either differ the way you approach it or just choose the method you like best.

I’ve chosen a picture of a windmill as the subject for this work out because this is just that bit more attractive than a normal house, and there is the added difficulty of the sails with their angles to get right!

The Indian Portrait show Representing Mughal Empire


The Indian Portrait analyses the era from the height of the Mughal Empire in the 16th century to the Raj period in the 18th. The art synthesized the Mughals’ Persian history with the Western art that had a rising presence in the Mughal court in Delhi. From the West came a latest realism in faces and the introduction of equestrian portraiture, for instance, but the decorative brilliance, mineral hues and spatial flatness of previously Indian and Persian art remained.

Waiting for My Ship Water front Park River

This was painted from the Waterfront Park along the river. I actually went there hopeful that one of the Tall Ships would be there that will be parading up next week. Unfortunately, no ship was there, but these red benches looking away over the river beneath the Chestnut Tree captured my notice. Without a ship, they became the central point of my painting. Two women came along and sat down on one of the benches, discussion and gazing out onto the water, so I popped them into the painting too!

Showing weather places in Oil Painting

Well here in Ireland the weather has been quite showery more than last few weeks and with no sign of stopping I think that the types of paintings that might demand to people could be those that show humid weather and places we would really like to experience. That's why I thought this sight would be an appealing candidate. I am effective in oils on a 16" x 20" canvas. Here I have posted the growth shots of my undercoating stage, completed more or less in the above explosion.

To transfer my picture onto the canvas, I draw it out on parchment paper and I put a sheet of paper enclosed in charcoal under this face down onto the canvas. I then go over each line with a pen that no longer facility. I put a book under the canvas to put off damage from leaning too hard on it. The result is an outline illustration on the canvas in charcoal.

Old Century black and white jade paintings

The all-out winner was an old Century black and white jade example carved by an artist of the Soochow School that sold for $15,600 to a Hong Kong bidder, who was a big purchaser overall. The ovoid jade bottle was carved in a relief picture of travelers in rocky terrain with a fine calligraphic inscription on the reverse and museum numbers on the bottom. The stopper was of virtual coral.

The Asian sales typically attract a group of remarkably focused bidders and this week was no exception. Even though fewer bidders show up for these sales, the ones who do so more than make up for the numbers by the strength of their bidding.
