Picasso Cubist Study? Transparent Maroon Tinting 2/29/20

February 29, 2020 by blogadmin

So I decided to get a piece of oil work started no matter what, using any surface I could get my hands on so I grabbed a piece that didn’t even have it re-stretch completed and got a team player of transparent maroon oxide onto it which looks pretty bad ass actually.

The 2 inch brush that I used was also perfect and I will be definitely ordering more of those.

It went on like butter and covered the whole surface perfectly and very fast and very even.

Four years before I was being a dumbass where my largest brush was still only a quarter inch or half inch flat and I said they’re trying to cover an entire canvas with it so at least this one commercial brand is working really really well and it’s not a fine art brand otherwise it would probably cost three times the amount.

I might not even do the Picasso but instead just work with the oils on various surfaces to explore what’s possible for the current South Loop painting. There’s quite a few deep earth tones.

Silver Moon: Update 2/29/20

I got this work a little bit further along and I’m only loosely following the original.

This time I was able to get a wash on there which was almost forgotten scale until I came back into my mind while rendering the sky.

This is the first time that I have ever composed a blog posting by using a microphone to dictate to text.

I hadn’t even thought of this until I sat down and just did it.

Portals

It’s true that there are interesting things.

There are places and doors and then there are portals.

You are looking at a portal but me and you will never know together what lies beyond that portal or through it but that’s the entrance.

So in the studio here are some of the interesting images that I am looking at and thinking of studying.

Thailand Art Materials Suppliers

November 24, 2019 by blogadmin

OK, it’s been some weeks maybe even months after getting stretcher frames made by a finish carpenter, and getting the entire top floor re-arranged to truly accommodate my efforts across 3 different rooms.

One of the biggest challenges has been sourcing supplies, especially across multiple mediums and on a budget. Most of the results from Google show a lightweight version of art supply in Thailand and very out-dated. And it’s people taking their kids to buy art pens or something. The rest are broken links. These links will break one day too, perhaps 10 years from now. But today they’re good.

My main medium is oil, but I had been thinking more along the lines of Acrylic on panels after oil on canvas seemed a pipe dream, especially canvas. Couldn’t figure out where to get it on a roll or by the meter.

No, you just need to be extra savvy with your Thai resources.

Here are the main suppliers I have found and will be using:

WIIN CANVAS – https://www.wiincanvas.com/

WIIN Canvas is proven via recommendation from my wife’s friends who paint, and an order I received. They have an impressive line of canvas that blows away anything I had previously found even in the USA. One of the few surprises in a land that I had previously thought bereft of quality studio supplies.

Theykeep it simple. They just sell canvas, and enough kinds to more than cover anything I’d be doing no matter how high quality I need to go. To start I went in cheap to test. I got a 2 meter roll @ 10 meters long Cotton Duck #12 Gesso primed shipped to my house overnight for $90. It’s a nice one, and first I have ever bought of primed after decades of doing all that myself building stretchers, fitting canvas, priming in gesso, then oil.

They have canvas of same dimensions of Belgian Linen (CLAESSENS?) and Ukrainian Linen available for as much as 40,000THB (Over $1000). They also carry canvas pliers, rabbit skin glue, and tacks. True old school.
