ILLUSTRATION ART: WILLIAM OBERHARDT William Oberhardt (1882 -1958) was like a 20th century version of Hans Holbein the Younger. Just like Holbein, Oberhardt had an astonishing gift for rendering the human head. "Heads are my preoccupation," he said. "To me the world is full of heads." Both Holbein and Oberhardt were summoned to draw the most famous people of their day. Cover of the first issue of Time magazine, by Oberhardt Portrait by Holbein Both artists could paint, but both found their highest expression in the medium of charcoal drawing, which enabled them to display great freedom and sensitivity. Oberhardt was a very traditional, almost old fashioned artist. He advised young artists: Avoid haste, and don't take pride in hectic activity...Technique evolves gradually. Despite his traditional approach, you can find great, almost abstract designs in Oberhardt's portraits.
dump of paint scribble pad The Art of Dan Sprogis architect studio ! PATRICK DAMIAENS Carved Wall-Panelling by Ornamental woodcarver Patrick Damiaens In the 17th century, the Belgian town of Liege became highly prosperous through its coal mining, metal processing and glass refining industries. Over the years, it evolved into a fashionable residence for princes, aristocracy and wealthymerchants who could spend lavishly on expensive furniture. As most skilled craftsmen from the surrounding regions were invited to work there, the city soon became famous for furniture characterized by beautifully and delicately carved decoration. Three hundred years later, Liege-style furniture is still being created and carved to the highest levels of quality. From his workshop in Maaseik, Belgium, Patrick Damiaens is a reassuring reminder that even in these days of mass-manufactured furniture, there is still a demand for the traditional skills of a master artisan. Damiaens studied three years at the Don Bosco Institute in Liege, where he learned the complex trade of ornamental woodcarving.
Mr Teckel Henry's Leather News Many people want to be designers because, at it's most basic, it's simply "Day Dreaming", which is something they think they are good at. So, now that you have the image of what you want to make and can manipulate an image of it in your mind, what do you do with it? Well, unless you can convert that day dream into another format, that is what it will remain.What you don't do is call me on the phone or send me an email that goes something like this actual email: I love leather back packs! But as hard as I have looked, I have not beenable to find all the features I like in one back pack. So, I have a designin my head, and I'm going to try to put it on paper. And this: I'd like the exact same shape as the GUcci cruise hobo, but just a tadrounded at the corners. This is where you get out your pencil and paper and describe what that picture in your mind is... but not in words, You draw it. This guy actually knows something about drawing and did a good job with the dimensions.
