Ask the eConsultant Art Matters - The Art Of Making Serigraph The process for making a fine art serigraph is widely known as silkscreen printing. Paint or ink is brushed through a fine screen made of silk or polyester with masks used to produce the design. Serigraphy is a highly labor intensive process. As an example, for 100 color screenprint it can take up to 2,000 man hours to create. From the original painting a commercial photographer makes a C print to provide a current scale to work from. When the first mylar is complete it moves to the next step of the silkscreen process. This screen is first coated with a photographically sensitive emulsion. This process is repeated for each color. Working from about 15 basic colors, a color mixer can make any color in the world. The inks range from transparent glazes to opaque. Now the screen is placed on the press, and the ink applied by the printer, one print at a time. The paper used is usually a heavy acid-free archival paper as it best holds the surface weight of the ink.
Mud Makes Man Appear (14 pics) - My Modern Metropolis - StumbleUpon 31-year-old Alejandro Maestre Gasteazi has created an incredibly interesting photographic series about the struggle of an artist. First, though, you may be asking yourself these questions: Exactly, what are we looking at? How did the photographer achieve this strange, sculpture-like illusion? Gasteazi asked his friend Julián to cover himself with a mixture of blue paint and mud. Enjoy the series as a whole and then read our interview with the photographer. How did you create these sculptures? The sculptures show a man struggling with himself. Therefore, with this photograph series I intend to show an artist fighting to get to know and shape himself and turn into a better human being. Are the sculptures suppose to be of a man slowly forming? How much post process work was done in Photoshop? To do the picture, the only thing I did was to add children’s blue paining to the mud; this would help me later on, during the Photoshop phase, to choose only those parts that had been soaked with mud.

The artist periodically calls, emails or physically shows that art to art world professionals like dealers, gallery owners, representatives, curators and agents. If you think that's how the art business works and how you sell art, you need to change the way you think. Your mission as an artist is to survive in a style that allows you to continue to make art-- and that means finding people to buy it. Art business professionals sell art by convincing people that it has value-- tangible as well as intangible-- and that it's worth paying money for in order to own. The same holds true for you as an artist. Demonstrating your "marketability" is essential, but especially so if the people you're contacting have little or no idea who you are. Talk about why you believe people will want to own your art. Other points to keep in mind:
