Amazing Hand Craft Sand Art Bottles

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.

Portraits and life scenery paintings

At that time life got in the way, marriage and kids came along and he stopped up painting. Jim received his M.S. in Architectural Engineering starting UT Austin in 1968 and worked for IBM for 30 years. He only began painting once more about 5 years ago.

I have painted in acrylics and watercolors, but regularly oils. I do it for enjoyment and am now allowing for selling some of my art. I enjoy painting architectural buildings, still lifes, and most recently started portraits and "life" scenery.

Jim won the Paint Out competition gather Moon Festival, and was chosen artist of the month for "Cousins in the loft," a image of his 3 granddaughters playing dressup.

Jim currently lives in Pecan agricultural estate in Granbury and has been marital for 42 years. In adding to his painting, he also started a home structure business. So much for a laid back departure.

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.

Painting fruits and vegetables in your bags

one of the things I like about painting fruits and vegetables is the unlimited variation that’s inherent in the subject. While anyone can have an idea about what a potato or onion looks like, no 2 potatoes or onions are matching – however similar they might be. Add to this the apparently endless varieties of each vegetable type (there are 3 VERY different looking turnips in this design) and you really do end up with eternal variations. When observed intimately, the unique character of any living thing can be discovered.

The painted vegetables and fruit that create this design come from two different paintings.

Child Art Paintings and Prints

My dad has an orchard of about one hundred fruit trees, typically peaches with some plum and pear trees scattered among them. Everyone loves to go to the orchard when the peaches are receiving ripe and eat them right off the tree where they are full of flavor and juice that just drips off your elbows as it runs down your arms.

That is precisely what Maddie, my little granddaughter, was doing as she was picking some to take back home with her. I tried to imprison that feeling as I painted her in her Pau-Paw’s peach orchard.

New robot painting says I can almost reach it


A new little robot painting, for days when it seems like the lot worth having is just out of reach. (He's hopeful, even if he has no reason to be.)

This is a little robot painting about the suckiness of social networking, and further specifically about the jerk who just deleted a friend of mine. I think it's in fact sad that our society developed a way to end friendships with a click. If somebody matters sufficient to befriend, don't they matter enough to keep around for a while? To maybe talk to? To let them know what's bothering you?

In present-day of Modern Art Paintings

My art is contemporary, literally speaking: a creation of its times. Vanguard, on the contrary, represents the most original – neither improved nor worse; likes the sharp point of a spear which opens up new paths. However, that pointed point needs all the power and weight of the relax of the spear, the weight of Art History. Without all this History, there is no drive to open up new ways. Art represent newness, novelty, surprise, the truth and the fake, a risky and charming bet.

However, what machinations I am to draw from the classic and contemporary traditions, to get deeper into the walked path, and to remain vigilant – like many other artists – to provide artists with a solid foundation. Much in the same way as an older brother holds his youngest brother’s hand with attraction as the intrepid child peeks, with amazing daring and no fear, into the abyss. I need to keep an eye on the group because it keeps me young as an artist, it cleanses me, and it clears up my spirit so that my view doesn’t sour. I am a part of the body of the lance and, from that vantage point; I observe with fascination the young sharp art poking at the same time as I draw from the magnificent work of the masters of all times, the influential legacy that sustains us.

Painting with wide open eye max

Max just stood there, staring at the painting with eyes wide open, mouth a bit parted, a bit of drool shiny from the corner of his mouth. I think I heard him talk softly the words she’s so beautiful to him. He just couldn’t stop staring it was as condition he was hypnotized. I don’t really believe she’s that good-looking.

After a few minutes Max seemed a little uninterested from looking at all the art and shuffled his feet from one painting to the next. He was so bushed from the whole ordeal that his eyes slowly began to shut and the next thing you knew, he was inactive – while standing up!

By learning these different techniques you will be talented to do different types of decorative painting. Combining techniques will allow you to create more attention in your work.

If you are a painter who did not revision how to use your brush and the different strokes from the beginning, you will notice the dissimilarity in your work if you take the time to learn. It allows you to appreciate how to hold your brush, the amount of pressure, and how the paint works in your brush. This is information that is valuable no matter what type of painting you do.

There are two main basics to stroke work. One element is sliding pressure and the other is sideways pressure. The amount of pressure will resolve the width of your stroke.

Natural butterfly painting

Looking good! I added the aerial, the final layers of burnt sienna to the dim area in the wings, filled in the blue gray wing drops at the bottom, and gave a final layer to the background to this custom-built butterfly painting.

Here is a bit of background information on this butterfly. It is actually moved by the Zodiac Moth, the only member of this genus of eleven day-flying species to occur in Australia. The wings are black with coppery green tones and purplish pink shimmering bands. I actually skipped the layers of green and alternated with layers of sienna to make a warmer look. The Zodiac is native to Papua New Guinea and northeastern Australia, except she is will be migrating to Michigan this year!

The Cultural heritage of the nation itself being so very ancient and animated, it is only natural that art has flourished in this land for quite a few centuries. India boasts of world class painters in modern times too. For a broad classification, one can separate these works into murals and miniatures. Murals are the larger works originate on solid structures such as temples, palaces or caves. Some of these date back to 5500 BC. The paintings at Ajanta and Ellora are model examples of murals. Miniature paintings have largely been executed on perishable mediums like cloth or paper.
