EnHaoKicks: Custom Painted Starry Night Vans

Finding expressive and exciting uses for art is always great to come across and this fits the bill. The artist here has used their exceptional talent to transform a pair of Vans trainers into a work of art.

Somewhat cleverly, the piece painted on is by the infamous Vincent Van Gogh, making it only fitting to be on Vans trainers. This aside the replication of ‘Starry Night’ is nothing short of amazing, with attention to detail and color all being served and making what can only be an incredibly unique pair of trainers. Produced using paints and sealed with hairspray it’s fair to say watching this is quite inspirational.

How To Paint A Wolf

From this online art tutorial you will discover a great watercolor lesson on how to paint a wolf with professional artist and wolf lover Jody Bergsma.

She introduces the watercolor paints she normally uses and they are yellow, sepia, burnt sienna, serellium blue and cobalt blue. Jody Bergsma works from a reference photo which she took at some point but also mentions that it is important and extremely handy to have a collection of other reference photos or drawings as they hold many colors, shades and textures ready for quick referencing. She lays out her palette in a rainbow sequence going from light to dark but also has her reference photo next to the palette as a visual aid to premix her watercolors and appoint them to specific areas of the photo.

She mixes the mineral blues with the sepia to form complimentary shadow tones which will be uses a lot when painting the wolf. The sepia and the sienna are mixed to create a terrific brown which will act as a primary shade for some of the areas of fur. A perspex palette and a medium flat brush is used to mix ready for the painting. She specifies how you should keep your washes separated as there will be a tendency to run. The mineral paints will not bleed so when you get to the stage of shadowing it will be much easier than the initial wash stage and will also be a turned point where more interest is brought to your painting with a more three dimensional and life-like appearance. Throughout the several stages of the painting Bergsma gives hints and tips offering valuable information needed to paint your wolf to your best ability. There are mentions of glazing techniques and knowing how to control your glaze lines as well as offering drying times. Shadowing and highlights are also important stages  in this painting so with your watercolor brush go careful with over applying the paynes gray which is heavily used throughout the tutorial. This art video is not only an excellent video to learn to paint from, but also offers small historical snippets of the wolf’s heritage throughout. This is an ideal video for beginner artists looking to learn more about watercolor and animal drawing.

Dream It In Colour: Speed Painting

This Tutorial was the one that kicked started my love for art and writing. It was the one that caught the eye of the previous owner of the site back in 2012 and then offered me an opportunity to write which I haven’t looked back from.

In life we are given opportunities that on the outside don’t seem to fit with who we are. This is because fear stands in our way and we ruin and miss out on many great things because of this.

I overcame my fear and accepted the offer.  I am still writing and have now created my own website. None of which would have been possible if it hadn’t been for someone giving me their hand and helping and guiding me to not only a life of love, art and writing but to a better life all round.

I will always be forever thankful  Always  Ann x

Art Therapy. Easel For People Living With A Disability

Helping people with disabilities to find ease when painting by using a specially designed easel.

The Birchwood Painters are group of artists who reside at a SCOPE care home in Herfordshire. All the artists are wheelchair users and most have severe cerebral palsy and learning difficulties. As part of the care programme, the residents take part in activities to stimulate and entertain them. One of these activities is painting. Every other week, two enthusiastic volunteers who are passionate about art, host a painting class for the residents.

One of the many problems the painters face is trying to paint on a canvas which is mounted on an easel designed for an able-bodied person. A combination of their physical disabilities and the sheer bulk of their electric wheelchairs mean that they find it difficult to get close to the canvas. Some of the painters have to use a mouth-stick whilst another cannot hold anything with any weight and consequently uses a feather to paint with. The only solution on many occasions was for the carers to hold the canvas in their hands whilst the painter applied the different media from a brush etc. The ladies who host the painting class approached DEMAND and asked if it would be possible to come up with a solution to their problem.

The charity DEMAND were approached to design something that did not exist to enable people with a disability to paint more freely and be more adaptable to their needs.  This charity designs and manufactures equipment for people with disabilities in all sorts of different fields.

Personally designed easels created by DEMAND have enabled the group of artists much more freedom and control in their creations where previously the class volunteers had to hold the canvas making certain angles to paint more awkward. Anita Osborne is one of the community art tutors at Birchwood and comments on the impact that the art classes have had; “With the painting came this extraordinary outpouring of themselves and they have just been amazing,” Anita Osborne

Mark Urwin attends the classes and has showed a passionate interest in History of Art, particularly the works of impressionist painter Édouard Manet whose colourful scenes of everyday modern life have captivated art lovers worldwide. Inspired by his new found freedom in painting, Mark recently contributed some of his work to a DEMAND charity fundraiser to help raise funds for further equipment.

“When I paint, I feel free and excited. I think about beauty and I picture love. Some colours excite me. Green is very promising; it lifts my mood.” Mark Urwin

Introduction to Illustration

Alison Woodward takes you through each step of how to produce a great illustration picture.

A short but very clear lesson on how to get started on producing an illustration.   Alison talks us through the process.  she starts out by drawing the picture first.  Once we are happy with the picture we can then move on to line work.  She uses a windsor newton series 7 double round brush and Koh  I Noor drawing ink to draw around the lines of the drawing. The next stage is to add a grey wash and to add in your light and darks in your picture. She uses a black drying ink.  To create the lighter shades she adds more water.  The paper that is used is called “finest water colour paper.” It picks up the ink well and doesn’t smudge.  Accent colours are then added.  She uses yellow and red water colours. To finish off and highlight some aspects of the picture, she uses a white Gouache paint.

For many years the one thing that has made all our books, comics and magazines stand out are all the pictures that have been created to accompany the story they are telling.  The stories have become so much more interesting, as we are able to connect with the characters much better as we can see them.  As parents we spend hours reading books to our children that have been put together to help them learn.  A big favorite all around is the “Hungry Caterpillar” by Eric Carle.  This book with its illustrations is loved by children and adults.

The cartoons that we love to watch, all started out as an idea, that was then put onto paper and then became alive and appeared on our TV.  The film industry has taken off big time and great illustrators are highly sought after

Today Illustration has become very popular and has now been finally recognized as indeed an art.
