Book Description
What is Naïve art?Naïve artists capture the now and freeze it in the forever. They create art in a world of their imagination without any boundaries or rules. It's a universe of enchantment where anything can happen in a realm of make-believe. Whimsical, fun, and charming, Naïve art appeals to all ages.“My child can paint like this” is a comment often heard by viewers of Naïve art. Naïve art is not childish. It is childlike, uncorrupted and, with a magical innocence, it imparts a sense of joy and wonder to the visible world around us.Naïve artists find their own technique, sense of expression and style without following convention.They interpret what they see in front of them or in their imagination. The image is transferred directly from their consciousness to the canvas without being filtered. Naïve art is a manifestation of happiness, colour and dreamlike images - a delightful space uncluttered by the harsh realities of the times in which we live.

Book Description
Oils. Painting in Oil. What an incredible thing this is! From the first time I picked up a paintbrush and dabbled in oil paint, I was hooked. The beautiful colours of the pigments that came from the tubes had a creamy nature and seemed so delightfully malleable for mixing and blending together. What a thrill to create new or secondary hues, to vary the values from lighter to darker, to adjust the intensity from high to lowering it to a very grayish pale tone. There is such a beauty in lifting these pigments from the pallet by means of my brushes and laying them down on the canvas or panel to push them around and see just what I can accomplish. The lovely nature of the paint, the scent of the medium used to achieve the desired consistency and the thinner or turps used as additives as well as for cleaning the brushes, all enhancing the sensory experience of the work. I'm so totally fascinated by the range and scope of styles and techniques I see other artists employ on their quest to explore and develop their own expression through the medium. Oils have been applied everywhere from thin and washy to thick and gooey, from very bold abstract to photo-real accuracy, from looser wilder brush strokes to tight and delicately blended and controlled nuances. Artists have employed techniques from direct painting to underpainting, covered over with layers of further refinement and glazing. There is painting on textured surfaces, metallic leaf, even beads and glitter and other additives to the paint, just about anything imaginable. As we move forward to explore the work of the artists here displayed, I hope you will find delight in seeing that range and wonder of their journey in painting in oil.John TatantolaArtists included in this Themes book are: 1.

Book Description
Having spent the last sixteen years involved in the art world and painting in acrylics, I am delighted and honoured to write the forward for the Sachet Mixte Themes Edition Nine - Acrylics, and to have my work featured along with fourteen other artists in this latest edition. I first noticed Sachet Mixte books a couple of years ago when introduced to a copy by a friend at an art exhibition I was involved with. I was taken by the diverse nature of the artists' work and the wonderful format and quality of the images featured in the journal. In this printed format it is a great way for your artwork to get recognition, exposure and acknowledgment. This, along with the Sachet Mixte website, gives artists and art enthusiasts a great opportunity to observe contemporary artwork in an easy and accessible format. This month's edition highlights various artists working in acrylics. Those who work with acrylic or are interested in this medium will find this edition beneficial. The paintings chosen to be included demonstrate the various techniques utilised and the textures that can be achieved by working in this medium. The high quality prints offer a valuable visual source in which to study acrylic paintings. Using acrylic can be a rewarding experience for the artist as it is a great type of paint to work with. It is the most versatile of paints to use on canvas, paper, wood etc and looking at a finished acrylic piece it can sometimes look like watercolour work or even oils, depending on the techniques used by the artist. I myself prefer to work on canvas and canvas boards as this lends itself to my style of work. I met the editor of this book Simon O'Corra through social media and I have been a member of the Sachet Mixed Community on Facebook since last year. This Facebook page is useful for the artists and enthusiasts to gain access to other like-minded people and interact with the art community. This book is valuable as it is a great source for artists as it provides inspiration and shows examples of artists' work for people to perfect their technique and gain a greater insight into the art world. It looks to promote new up-and-coming artists as well as to show the development of more experienced well-known members of the art community. This is a very unique publication and comes in various volumes; for example one highlights work by female artists and the other by male artists. It regularly represents both sexes equally in the art world and also has volumes that focus on certain aspects of art. For example this edition focuses on acrylics while others focus on portraits, landscapes and photography. This allows artists interested in specific subjects, easier and direct examples of what they are interested in and it offers inspiration to those working in these various diverse creative fields. I can highly recommend this book for the valuable resources it provides. Alan Glasgow Artist at Alan Glasgow Art Edinburgh Artists include: 1. Dan Simoneau - USA. 2. Madan Lal - India. 3.

Book Description
Pastel - an enduring medium. What is it about pastel that has captivated, engaged and inspired countless artists through the ages? Since the Renaissance, pastel has become renowned as a medium of endurance, as it does not contain the liquid binding agent that causes other media like oil, acrylic and watercolour to crack, change colour or consistency with age. As it's a dry medium, it has to be protected either by the use of spray fixative, or, ideally put behind glass in a frame. As pastels have an unusually high pigment content they also keep their jewel like brilliance over the centuries, provided they are kept out of direct sunlight. Pastels are made from pigment, chalk, gum Arabic and distilled water, mixed into a paste which is rolled into sticks then left to dry naturally. Once the liquid content has evaporated, they are ready to use. There are various densities of pastel, varying greatly from brand to brand but usually the most highly pigmented will give the softest butter-like consistency that many artists love to work with. Pastels were first used in the 16th century and became increasingly popular during the 18th and 19th centuries, with artists such as Degas, Renoir, Lautrec and Whistler, to name but a few, creating wonderfully enduring drawings and paintings in pastel. It was however, Venetian artist Rosalba Carriera, who had pastels made for her from pure pigment - sometimes even experimenting with pigments mixed with crushed sea shells! She produced amazingly life-like portraits in pastel and became the 'go-to' artist to have one's portrait painted by. She certainly helped bring pastel to the forefront as a new medium for the artists of Europe. At present, pastel appears to be enjoying a renaissance and a resurgence in popularity with many pastel societies springing up worldwide. I hope this book and it's beautiful paintings will inspire the reader to explore this wonderfully expressive medium."

Book Description
Portraits, meaning the focus painting /photograph is usually the person's face, although the entire body and background or context maybe included. The intent is to display likeness, personality and even the mood of the person. It can be a painting, a sketch, a drawing and nowadays, photographs. Portrait artists have played a vital role through history. Before photographs, portraits were the only visual means of capturing a likeness and preserving it for future generations. Portrait artists were people of status like a monarch or the church or people whose family were rich and powerful. Many poor artists would capture the people of the time. We have detailed representation of the style of the era and fashion and hairstyles. Whole families would make it an important event to have their images captured by the artist. A comparison can be made by examining British, French, Italian and Spanish artists to name a few. And when comparing the two old masters Rembrandt and Frans Hals, noticeable connections can be made in their limited palettes and earth tones. However the individual styles are instantly recognisable. Today too, portrait artists have their own styles. Methods for producing portraiture may have changed through the ages and photographs have been included in the mix. But we depict the era we live in by our styles and culture. Debates on whether we still need portrait artists when we have cameras or whether realism has a place in art anymore will carry on. But both offer great and differing skills, and with each painter/photographer, the artist's style and temperament is guided through expression, craft and through the light and tones. Skills should never be left to die or be forgotten, but should be allowed to progress and with each generation we, like the old masters, should leave behind a memory in what ever medium. Whether on canvas or by a photograph of our era and how we live today, we artists deserve our place in history for our dedication and love of the studies that we make of people. Tina Francis.

Decorating objects of usefulness, carving spiritually significant objects, and crafting things merely to be admired as beautiful. These objects are sculptural, mostly carved, so we call them sculpture. These sculptures give us tangible evidence of peoples of long ago. Something we can hold in our hands that connects us to the past. These objects are time machines that help us to see back in time, into the hearts and minds of generations past. We might imagine these objects as a word expelled that can be heard thousands of years later and can be understood beyond language and cultural barriers. This is the importance placed on art and sculpture. It is a cultural amplifier. A condenser that can freeze and collapse time into an object. Drawing within these objects the ideas, fears, joys, innovations, spirituality, and overall feeling of the people. Modern humans have the luxury of seeing art as a linear thread. Modern artists have the luxury of building on the concepts of these artists. Artists today can allude to classic art and reference these masters in subtle ways, weaving a fabric that is continuous and unbroken, spanning the existence of humanity on into the future. Today in this complex world, glutted with information and ever evolving technology, sculpture is a strong root which keeps us firmly connected to the ground. Today humans face challenges beyond the basic necessities of feeding and reproducing, we face a crisis of oblivion. The future is bleak for many. The issues facing modern man include but are not limited to: climate change, expanding poverty, continuous wars, and depleting resources. The art of today should naturally express this panic. The madness of time sped up by technology, the weariness of constant senseless violence and the disconnection of the wealthy from the suffering of the poor. A modern sculptor can collapse all if this into an object and make it beautiful. Artists today can use materials that others may view as garbage. A sculpture today doesn't need to be cast in bronze and gilded in gold to be significant. Any material that can be reasonably 'archived' is usable. Thanks to early innovators such as Duchamp and Picasso, modern artists have free rein over the materials they can choose from. The more traditional materials of bronze, marble and exotic woods are being replaced with more readily available, less expensive, reused items like plastics, plywood, and resins. These materials reflect the 'veneer of modern society', a new respect for resources, and a rejection of classical arts' restraints. Moving forward, sculpture has outgrown its own restricted description (from Latin, sculpere, to carve), it has become a malleable word we choose to encompass most art that is not a painting on a wall. For this reason sculpture is constantly undergoing a renaissance of exploration. And that is the key to modern art, explore the unknown reaches of the human mind and manifest these deep concepts into tangible objects. Only time will tell if these 'objects' have the quality and substance to become classical art and speak to future generations of the joys and woes of now.
