Flower Art
Flower Art
Painting is an expression of an artist's imagination and reflects his perception of the world around him. Painters are usually inspired by scenery, landscapes, and other elements of nature. Most painters are captivated by the beauty and aesthetic appeal of various types of flowers. It is especially challenging to paint rare flowers or flowers that have a short blooming period. Flower painters capture the essence of these flowers on their canvas and paint them in various shades to give it a natural effect. Flower painting has been existence since a very long time and several conventional as well as contemporary artists have portrayed different varieties of flora in their paintings.
The level of satisfaction derived from painting flowers is far more than capturing them in photographs. Many art books are exclusively devoted to flower painting techniques and styles. Many new painters are also fascinated with flower painting and can begin with simpler flowers with less color variations. While painting flowers, it is important to emphasize on the colors and curves of petals and leaves. By playing with light effects, painters can give a different feel to the painting.
Beginners can also start flower painting with their favorite flower. However, several attempts may be required to get the exact nuances of color and form. It helps a great deal to draw using different types of colors and mediums to achieve a variety of textures. Watercolors are widely used by flower painters to blend colors more effectively.
Flower paintings of various renowned artists, both conventional and contemporary, are showcased in several museums and art galleries. Many unknown painters of great potential and talent promote and sell their paintings through their own websites. Original paintings of famous artists can be exorbitantly priced and can become prized possessions for many. Buyers have the choice of purchasing reproductions of these paintings that can come at an affordable price.
Lotus, rose, tulips, and orchids are some of the most popular subjects of flower paintings. Several painting schools lay special emphasis on this style of painting.

With the art of 'Flower Language' in mind, which flower would you like to a Florist to drop off -see below ?
...a Florist knocks on your door and gives you a single 'Flower'. You open the note that comes with it and it says "Just for you". With no romance or thankyou or something not so nice on the card.
What would you like the 'Flower' to be?
Also Who would you give a 'Flower' and what would it be...
Please say the meaning of the flower for those of us who don't know what they mean...
And on that subject if your like me and not fluent in this language, you can look the meanings up at...

Father's Day is not just an American holiday, but it is celebrated all over the world. Even though different cultures celebrate it on different dates and have different ways to celebrate it, the concept is the same: To honor your father for all the love and support he has been giving you throughout the years.
Amazingly, the first Father's Day card is said to have been made 4,000 years ago in ancient Babylon. It was a message carved in clay of a son wishing his father good health and a long life.
The concept of Father's Day in the United States can be claimed by Sonora Dodd of Spokane, Washington in 1909. She was listening to a sermon on Mother's Day and thought about her father, William Smart, who was a widowed Civil War veteran and raised his six children by himself on a farm. She felt it only fair that he be honored as well. In response to that, Spokane's mayor chose a day in June for the celebration since William Smart's date of birth was June 19, 1910.
It wasn't until 1966 that there was a presidential recognizing of fathers. President Lyndon Johnson set up the third Sunday in June to be Father's Day. Father's Day became an annual national holiday permanently in 1972 when President Richard Nixon signed it into law.
In the United States Father's Day is still the third Sunday in June. It is set up to be a day where children show how thankful they are for their father's love and affection. Usually this is done by sending a card. Many times a gift will be given. One of the most popular Father's Day gifts are neckties.
The tradition of Father's Day spread to neighboring Canada. There, too, it is celebrated on the third Sunday in June. Red roses are usually worn to show appreciation for their father. If the father is deceased, a white rose is worn instead. Cards and small gifts are given to not just the father but grandfather and any other man than has played a father figure role.
In Ireland much is the same as the U.S. and Canada. One striking difference is that if the father is deceased, his children will honor him by sending donations in his name or by doing acts of service.
In Australia and New Zealand the date for Father's Day is the first Sunday of September. Like other countries, many send cards and buy gifts like neckties for their father to show their appreciation. Although most celebrations are kept within the family setting, there are many programs and activities arranged to encourage the children and fathers to spend enjoyable quality time together.
Father's Day highlights the important role that fathers play in the family. A good father is important to the physical and emotional well-being of a child. Father's Day gives children the opportunity to express their gratitude for his love and attention.

Mixed Media Art - Breathtaking Form of Art
<!-- @page { margin: 0.79in } P { margin-bottom: 0.08in } -->
The mixed media textiles prints have opened new gateway to the creativity, communication and imagination. This type of contemporary art was witnessed in early 1970's when it was made by a British artist. In actual it was first made in 1912 in the Cubist College. Impressions of the Georges Braque and Picasso were used for the very first time in the number of different attitudes like pastels, pastels, leafing, metallic pens, collage, acrylic colors and paints. They also made number of Quilting Kits. And those kits were one of the amazing pieces of art.
The form of Mixed Media Textiles is really very different form of art and it requires visual arts rather than any other form of art. The makers of the mixed media textiles have to choose colors really very carefully and also they have to make the layers of the paints very carefully because of the fact that colors can mix and the layers require good time to dry in order to maintain the integrity of the art or the creativity. The texture should also be really very strong in order to maintain the layers of paints which are made during the mixed media textile prints are made.
The texture used can be of variety of materials like cotton fabric, hand painted silks, collage, digital images, applied fibers, dyed velvets, objects such as sea glass or drift wood and even stitched clothes sometimes. And the texture used becomes the palate of different material used and imaginations compiled. A mixed print does not mean throwing different colors on the platform at once. Instead it requires great hard work and good imagination to make a good and attractive piece of art.
This form of art is really very abstract or conceptual, surprising and unpredictable in number of different ways. The viewers, artists and admirers love this art very much and it is really very captivating. Using this art an artist can explain anything which goes in his or her heart. Patchwork Project made by the mixed media textiles print artists are breathtaking. It's been privilege to see them and own them.

Ancient China, Silk Road?
I'm doing a project on the Ancient Chinese Silk Road, and It must include a Do Now, and a fun Activity to do. I'm in seventh grade, and so far I want to make a poster, with a map of china on it, and take red paint and paint on where it was, and around it put what was transported, but thats only for the presentation. You have to do an activity, like in example, someone is doing ancient china art, and they're doing how to make paper machet, and I want to do something like that. Any ideas?
You can start off illustrating the Silk Road map. Then, do a little presentation about Chinese culture. For instance, Chinese tea, calligraphy, instruments, Traditional Costume or buildings, noodle, art, silk, etc.

Oil Painting for Beginners - How to Get Started in Oil Painting
One of the more frequently asked questions from beginners in oil painting is: How do I get Started? To get started in oil painting is relatively easy. There are some basic supplies that you will need and some basic guidelines to follow. This article will discuss how beginners can get started with oil painting. This article will not teach you how to become a good painter however. In fact, no one can make you a good painter. You can only be taught certain things and it is up to you to take what you have learned and apply it.
Many beginners who are new to the oil painting medium, generally have the same questions. So let's cover those questions now so that you can begin your painting journey right away.
Oil Painting Supplies
The first thing you will need to do is purchase a few supplies. You need not spend a ton of money on expensive oil painting supplies. Start with the basics as you are only a beginner right now. The goal at this point is to get used to working with your support, brushes, paints and other materials. So expensive supplies will be wasted during this stage.
Supports
You are going to need a support to paint on. There are a number of different supports that can handle oil paint, but for now, start with canvas. Many beginners often ask if a canvas needs any special coating or priming for oil paint. The short answer is yes, but you need not worry about that either. Any local art supply store or online art supply store will have canvases that are already primed and ready to be used.
Oil Paint
Next, you are going to need paint. You do not need an expensive brand of paint. That would again be a waste for beginners. There are less expensive, good quality paints on the market that will work beautifully for your painting needs. Here are a few oil paint brands to test out: WINSOR & NEWTON Winton Oil Colours, GRUMBACHER Academy Oils and DALER-ROWNEY Georgian Oil Colours.
For those of you who may be concerned about the potential hazards associated with oil paints, have no fear. Introducing water miscible oil paints! These paints are fantastic. They can be thinned with water as opposed to using dangerous solvents like turpentine. Here are two brands to try out if you are interested: GRUMBACHER Max Water Miscible Oil Colors and WINSOR & NEWTON Artisan Water Mixable Oil Colours.
Oil Painting Brushes
Having good quality brushes is important. While a good quality brush will not make you a better painter, a cheap brush will only wind up frustrating you. When you use cheap brushes you will see why. Cheap brushes have a tendency to shed hairs that get stuck in the oil paint, which is extremely annoying. Good quality brushes should have stiff hairs and snap back into place when you run your fingers through them. They should be well crafted and sturdy.
You do not need that many brushes for oil painting. I personally only use two types of oil painting brushes: flats and filberts of various sizes. I do have a few rounds and a fan brush on hand, but I almost never use them. I would also recommend that you use hogs hair brushes as opposed to the softer synthetic hair brushes. The synthetic brushes are just too flimsy to handle the oil painting medium in my opinion.
Cleaning your brushes is important, so don't be careless in this area, especially if you are working with high quality brushes. Many artists recommend turpentine for cleaning brushes, but I simply cannot bring myself to use this stuff. I use a much safer brush cleaning product called "The Masters" Brush Cleaner and Preserver.
I clean my brushes right after a painting session with this product and it works wonderfully. It may take some time to really get your brushes clean, but it is worth the effort. If the brush cleaner does not remove all of the paint, then I use a bit of odorless mineral spirits. I find this a much better alternative to turpentine.
Oil Painting Mediums
What about mediums? Do you need to mix the oil paint with anything or can you use it straight out of the tube? This is another common question amongst beginners. The answer? You do not need mediums to paint with. They are not a requirement, but I find them to be quite helpful.
Most oil paints that I have worked with are simply too stiff right out of the tube for my particular style of painting. Mediums will help dilute the oil paint and make the paint flow better, which means you will be using less paint. Using less paint, means you will save money.
There are many different kinds of mediums that are used for different reasons, like speeding up the drying time of paint, improving gloss, etc. Do not be overly concerned with mediums right now.
I like to start my painting using thinned down acrylic paint. I first tone my entire canvas with a neutral color. I then draw in my composition using different values of the same color. I let this initial drawing dry over night. I then apply the oil paint using the fat over lean oil painting method.
Lighting
This is a very important part of oil painting. Without proper lighting, you will not be able to accurately see your colors. The best kind of lighting is natural sunlight, so if you have the opportunity to paint in a well lit room or outdoors, that would be ideal. Of course not everyone is blessed with this type of situation, so the next best thing is to use lighting that mimics natural sunlight.
This type of lighting is referred to as "full spectrum lighting". There are number of different full spectrum lighting products available. Just do a search on google for "full spectrum lighting" and you will find a number of websites on the topic.
Safety
Oil painting for beginners can be hazardous if you are not careful, so it is important to take the necessary precautions. Make sure you work in an area that has good ventilation and airflow. Wear disposable latex gloves while painting. Read all manufacturer warning labels carefully.
Some Final Words
As you sit down to start your first painting, remember that you are just a beginner. Your main goal right now is to have fun and get used to working with your oil painting materials. Do not be overly judgmental about your own work. If you do so, you will only wind up getting frustrated. Your first, second, third or even tenth painting may not turn out the way you wanted it to. This is completely normal so do not get discouraged. Oil painting is a difficult medium to master. It takes perseverance so hang in there. I wish you all the best! God Bless.

oil painting...?
I had an oil painting done for my parents, and am now trying to frame it. Is there a special way to do it? Can the glass touch the painting? Will the painting sweat? Or dry out and crack?
Oil paintings need to breath, so should never be framed under glass. And are usually also not backed by more than a paper dust cover.
Below are a few sites that will explain to you all that you need to know about having an oil painting framed,from doing it yourself to having it framed professionally.
It wil also explain to you the different mountings and various sizes of standard canvases.
