Members companyman Posted June 6, 2011 Author Members Share Posted June 6, 2011 Originally Posted by nomenclature I {censored} around with paint sometimes, a mix of spraypaint, screening, acrylics, trying out paint markers, sharpies and actual brushes sometimes... trying canvas for the first time too, I usually just use scrap wood. nothing I really take seriously though. my colour calibration on my PC is off and don't really have a proper light source to get better photos. a friend asked me to be part of an art show next month so I'm getting some stuff together trying to decide if I'll do it or not. I like these, especially the first few! I hope you continue to "{censored} around with paint", it looks like you are a natural. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will be processing the experience for months I'm sure! some of those twombly pieces are MASSIVE. the Rothko paintings were fairly large as well, but those Twombly works were very inspirational. the highlights were Matisse, Picasso , Lautrec, Franz Kline (the Klines seemed massive until I went to the Menil) , Rauschenberg. Jim Dine The Pollocks and Dekoonings look like they're about to fall apart. Jasper Johns wasn't as great as i thought they'd be. The Warhol stuff doesn't look very "rich". But i realized that i'm not too interested in anything before Cezanne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a difficult time filtering out the overt religious themes of a great deal of painting's history, but I try to look at them with formalist eyes....

Members nomenclature Posted June 7, 2011 Members Share Posted June 7, 2011 I like these, especially the first few! I hope you continue to "{censored} around with paint", it looks like you are a natural. thanks. I'm not really comfortable with brushes or even paintmarkers to a point (though I do prefer them over brushes), I'm more in my "element" with spraypaint and silkscreening. I'm not really happy with the last two as I'm just getting used to the medium, but I'll be doing more. I just dropped a load on a bunch of Posca paint markers so I'll def. be doing more stuff when they arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cassette Posted June 7, 2011 Members Share Posted June 7, 2011 I wish I knew how to actually paint. All I've ever really done is goofed around with acrylic on cardboard and cheap canvas. I'm a bit more comfortable with drawing, but I haven't even really done that much lately. I've forsaken the visual arts for the temptress that is rock n' roll.this was just a rough test of a stencil I made. I never really made a finished print though =/ I am kind of proud that this was a four layer stencil done entirely without computers, even though the final product is less than great. I traced all the layers off the original drawing I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members companyman Posted June 7, 2011 Author Members Share Posted June 7, 2011 I saw all those guys too. I didn't like the look of alot of those paintings. I did like the Franz Hals and Edouward Manet well, that is the beauty of the vast history of painting, there is something that appeals to everyone. Many people think that the Italian Renaissance painters were the pinnacle of painting, I am left flat by much of it, with a few exceptions....it is poisoned by the Catholic church for me, but the Flemish masters have an almost corporeal relationship with the paint itself that really speaks to me.
