Illustration Marker Tutorial- Prism...Link- merrillk.com Illustration markers are incredible tools for artists! They add color quickly and accurately without a time consuming set up or a messy clean up. They can be used alone or in combination with other artistic media. This tutorial will teach you what you need to know about illustration markers. You will learn how to use them as I demonstrate by drawing a basketball player. Lets Get Started with thos tutorial! Lets start by giving you some background knowledge. 1a.) Brands- The most popular brands are Prismacolor, Copic , Ad Chartpak and Pantone. I will do a drawing demonstration of Ad Chartpak in this video. 1.) Markers- When you use illustration markers, think of yourself as a watercolor artist. Watercolor artists create their work with beautiful transparent colors. If you choose to try illustration markers, you will definitely be able to apply and make multiple layers of transparent color. But there is a difference......the ability to mix. The colors are pre mixed and they do not blend together like wet paint as you can see in this demonstration. 2.) Special Markers- There are two different types of special illustration markers; Blender markers and gray markers for tones. The blender marker is a little deceptive. It is simply a marker without color in it. It is comprised of the fluid that the marker is mixed in. When it is applied on paper, the colors will bleed together. Notice how the line in between the two colors has disappeared. You will see more <b>...</b>

Abstract Painting, Abstract Art...Abstract Painting To get more free abstract art lessons, and free acrylic painting techniques please visit Peter Dranitsin's website at petesoriginalart.com In this video I will show you exactly how I painted this particular abstract painting "Morning Charm" for one of my customers. I show you some of the good the techniques I use when I paint the painting. Speaking through a language consisting only of lines and colors, Abstract Art can be a translation, expression, or a representation of something rather than a portrait of it. Some individuals compare it to that of a child's school project. Defined, Abstract Art uses a visual language of form, color, and line to create a composition. It may exist with a degree of independence from visual references in the world. Throughout history there were 3 art movements that contributed to the evolution of this timeless art: Romanticism originated in the second half of the 18th century in Western Europe where it increased in its popularity during the industrial revolution. It can be described as a revolt to aristocratic social and political norms during times of Western philosophy and cultural life: the Age of Enlightenment Expressionism artists explored new techniques such as intense colors, drawing distortions, and bold use of paint surface. This would create incredibly emotionally charged works that came from reaction and emotion rather than a subject. Impressionism was commonly associated with independent Paris based artists <b>...</b>
Lines and colors...Here I use a little photoshop trick to color the lines of the ink: blocking the transparent pixels of the layer with the ink (only works if there is no background color!). I also changed the clothes color and ended up with something gay...Blargh!

Eyfells Sculpture Creation Expressi...Johann Eyfells has hundreds of these sculptures all over his ten acre yard. They are quite a sight. I noticed them from driving by and had to turn in and explore these forms. Fortunately Johann Eyfells himself was there and he invited us to view all of this, even taking us into his home which was filled with more of his wife's paintings. She painted faces and parts of faces giving them lines and colors that are very interesting. You can find out more about his move of all his sculpture on a website entitled www.EyfellsandEyfells.com
