Online Fine Art Instruction in Drawing, Painting, Pastel, Charcoal, and Lessons in Color Theory, Space and Composition What I Believe/Don't Believe About Art: - "Talent" is basically a myth. I believe that sensitivity, inspiration, hard work and conviction are much more important in producing quality work. - Neatness and speed do not count in art. - Being original really means being/becoming yourself. - There is no limit to what can be learned - it is a life-long process. - There are as many viewpoints in art as there are human beings. - There is no one, right way to make art. - There are rules in art to be followed - however, for every rule I've ever heard, I've seen a great work of art that is the exception. - The entire universe is potential subject matter for art. Practical Tips: Relax: inspiring music, comfortable clothes and chair. Wear clothes that you're not afraid of getting dirty. Look at other art - galleries, museums, books, art centers. Carry a sketchbook everywhere, for at least 1 year. Welcome to my online studio! I've been an artist for many years, and I feel that art is a vital part of our lives. etc.
Perspective Drawing 7 - Three Point Perspective Before you study the perspective of a cylinder, it helps if you understand the perspective of a circle which is explained on the previous page. A cylinder is simply a circle which is projected into three dimensions. Fig. 1. This is an illustration of a cylinder which is formed by a circle being projected vertically from the ground plane. The ellipses that outline the cylinder are all the same width. Note how the ellipse at the eye level is seen as a straight line. Fig .2. The circular curves that form the cylinder are all the same shape, but their scale reduces as they recede from the picture plane towards the vanishing point. Both of our examples use one point perspective, the simplest form of perspective drawing.

DRAWING ELLIPSES at MIKE SIBLEY FINE ART I am a self-confessed Beardie lover! Only the winter mud that surrounds us prevents me from being owned by one. They exude happiness, gaiety, and joy; and my spirits soar whenever I'm near one. This drawing means a lot to me. The farmer (my former neighbour) and I spent a few glorious haymaking times together. Included are George's old tractor and baler, his fields and the Hambleton Hills behind — so you have a picture of the field behind our house and the hills beyond. Accompanying this Premier print were two smaller Companion prints, which came into being because I had so much good material left. Why Done Balin'?

Lackadaisy Expressions Boy, I didn't know what I was getting myself into when I started this. I've had requests for some sort of expressions tutorial dating back a while now, so I figured, "Sure!

Anyway, I found all I could really do was try to explain ways to teach yourself...and then add some pictures. 2 Point Perspective Tutorial | How-To Perspective Grid Demonstra Perspective Basics|2 Point Perspective|3 Point Perspective|Foreshortening|Ellipse Perspective|Isometric Drawings All Tutorial Text & Images - Copyright © 2011 KHI, Inc.
