Visionaries and Voices

I had the lucky chance to visit Visionaries and Voices in the north-side of Cincinnati this past friday. This studio was a wonderful community supported studio space for outsider artists. The organization is run completely by donation. They often have shows too along side other artists.

On the 3/5/10 from 6-9 they will be having a black and white show. It is open to everyone. I will also insist on donating to the organization or if you are a fellow artist volunteer your time there. They love to have artists come in to create along side the artists that work there.

Interesting finding for producing 3D textures in painting.

A personal finding for myself, and something I'd like to apply to future projects.

Hotglue makes a wonderful tool to create 3D texture effects in painting. I'll provide images of part of the process tomorrow along with the finished product in the near future.

If you choose to use hot glue also in the future, be aware it's not for those who want a very steady and flawless outcome. If a project requires something a little less controllable, it is probably a good material for you to experiment with.

Work of Marguerite Sauvage

I love the Stumble button. Me and stumble are best of friends, I'll say that now. I also think it is a great way to discover art and artist's websites out in the world wide web. Right now, the illustrative works of Marguerite Sauvage grabbed me!

Her illustrations seem to focus on the female form. They are delicate and soft, and though colored, they colors do not seem to be the primary focus, they only seem to bring more attention to certain features she wishes to have the viwer focus on.

Going to be at ACen!

There is a chanc that I will be able to get an art table at ACen. I will keep all of you posted. At the moment I am taking a break from the artist alley to change my portfolio and what I like to seel, essentially starting out fresh.

I will know within a few weeks how this will go.
