What Happens When You Paint With Oils on Paper? Here is the Result

Oil Painting on Paper Demonstration
How to paint with oils on paper is a popular topic of discussion. I posted an article last year together with a full demonstration on how to prepare your paper. It received plenty of comments and views. I have been meaning to add the follow up lesson on the painting itself. One thing and another has put that off. Until now.

In this article I show a full painting demonstration using oils on paper. I hope it helps you. Please share it with anyone you know who will find if helpful too.

South Africa's Great Copyright Experiment: A Missed Opportunity? (Podcast #33)

27/10/2018

South Africa's Copyright Amendment Bill Controversy

It has been described in the most unflattering terms. "Shambolic", "Cultural re-colonisation" and worse. This is the state of the Copyright Amendment Bill currently under scrutiny in Parliament. Will South African artist's interests come first or will the new Act be stillborn? What are the objectives of the amendment? What is new and how will artists benefit? 

Find out more from my special guest who is also an expert appointed by Parliament's Portfolio Committee on the Copyright Amendment Bill.

How Does the New Kum Memory Point Brush Shape Up? Tested

Memory Point Brush Review with Malcolm Dewey
I do like a good paint brush. Yes, they make a difference as I discovered with bristle brushes for oil painting. But what about watercolor brushes? Or a versatile brush you can use for acrylics too. Synthetic brushes preferably. The brush must, above all else, keep its shape and last a long time. Asking too much? Not to the clever Germans at Kum.

Their new Memory Point brushes claim to solve the problem of wayward synthetic hair ruining your painting experience. In this article I going to test the brushes with a watercolor painting.

How Artists Can Find True Peace in the Process

11/10/2018

You are only entitled to the action, never to it's fruits.

How do you respond to setbacks or frustration with your work? For artists this question is especially important. Most artists work alone and must keep creating new work. This can create pressure especially when this involves personal expectations.

For example, which of these people remind you of someone?

Why is Art Expensive?

Why is Art Expensive?
What do you think about art prices? Too high, too low or just right? No this is not a Goldilocks story. It is about the very real issue of living artists, collectors and our world today. I was reading various articles on pricing art and the question that stood out for me was this simple question: Why is art so expensive?

It seems like a strange question to ask because there are so many variables. What is expensive? What is cheap? Who knows? It all depends on the buyer or the collector to decide. Two hundred dollars for one person is a lot for some, but is chicken feed for someone else and so on.

It doesn't really matter does it? Except I think it does. Here's why.

Everything You Need to Know About Painting in Layers

How to paint in layers.
A while ago I posted an article about the benefits of painting in layers. This proved to be popular with many artists. Would it not be nice to see a demonstration of this technique, some asked me? Yes, it would and I did already have a full demo prepared. 

This painting demonstration is the subject of one of my lessons in Loosen Up Your PaintingHow to Loosen Up Your Painting. A painting course dedicated to helping artists shed that tight painting style. Although it is for intermediate painters there is plenty for all levels to enjoy. From basic brushwork to knife painting and many painting demonstrations. Over forty two lessons supported with video throughout.

Did you know that you can enroll now at a very special price? Click the Learn More button below and find out all the details about the course. Then take advantage of the special offer and I will see you in the course. Remember that the this special is locked in for you and includes all updates. I have updated the course regularly over the years and continue to do so.

See you there!

Why in the Age of Photography We Need More Paintings

2/10/2018

Why in the age of photography we need more paintings.

I like my camera very much. It is a nifty gadget capable of video and images. It is very competent too. All that clever processing in milliseconds. It has made my painting lessons more dynamic with video. I also get to show you my paintings with photographs. Sweet.

But my camera is, in the end, a tool. It is also a bit of a fibber. This makes paintings more important. Here is why.
