Beginning an Abstract and Thursday Trivia

Posted in daily painter on January 21, 2010| Leave a Comment »

This is the way my table looks when I work on an abstract piece.  I often work flat, not at an easel, but on a table.  And since I usually do abstract work in acrylic it dries quickly so I want to stand over it and work fast. 

Not everyone appreciates abstract work.  I think it is something that grows on you.  Years ago I didn’t care for them either but over the years I have come to appreciate abstracts.  And I really enjoy painting them.

Today’s Thursday Trivia question involves abstract.  What is the most expensive painting ever sold?  According to Wikipedia (and many other sources) the most expensive painting ever sold is Jackson Pollack’s No. 5, 1948 that sold for $140 million in a private

sale. 

This comes directly from Wikipedia …  No. 5, 1948 is a painting by Jackson Pollack (January 28, 1912 – August 11, 1956), an American painter known for his contributions to the abstract expressionist movement. The painting was done on an 8′ x 4′ sheet of  fiberboard, with thick amounts of brown and yellow paint drizzled on top of it, forming a nest-like appearance.

Thursday Trivia

Posted in daily painter, Trivia, tagged , , , , , , , , , on January 14, 2010| 1 Comment »

“Miniature Snow and Fence” is an oil on 3″x5″ stretched canvas.  This painting is available for $40 by contacting me at kwalker@doubledogdesigns.com .

Today I am introducing a new series.  Each Thursday I will try to answer a “trivia” question about art.  I get questions all the time about little things related to painting.  This is where I will address those questions.  Who knows?  Maybe we will learn something on Trivia Thursday!

Today’s question is about the different length of handles on brushes.  Why are some brush handles longer than others?  The short-handled brushes are generally for watercolor painting or painting where you sit close to the piece you are working on.  Long-handled brushes are used mainly for oil painting.  When painting oils you want to try to stand up at the easel.  That way you can stand back from work and look at what it needs.  If the brush has a longer handle then you can put paint on the canvas by standing back from it and seeing where it needs more work.  Many instructors teach new painters to put one stroke on the canvas and walk back a couple of steps.  Then decide where the next stroke of paint should go, put it on and walk back.  This is why you see painters on tv stepping back and looking at the work, generally with their head cocked to one side.  The head cock is optional.  🙂
