Watercolor Art Paintings

Watercolor is a beautiful medium for an artist to work with. The pigment is simply mixed with water and rendered on high quality watercolor paper. The artist then works on the image that he or she has prepared , usually in a light pencil drawing or a sketch from which the work is then proceeded to be transferred onto the watercolor paper.  One has to keep in mind that an artist  has a very individual mind in how the application is executed. There are general rules of course but an artist can only render his or her personal impression of a particular subject. And THAT makes an original watercolor painting so unique and special  .

The Decorative Flat Basket

The Decorative Flat Basket

Baskets have been made and have been in use ever since mankind lived on this planet.  All baskets to the day are handmade,  they are so versatile and come in so many forms and sizes  as well as materials that they have to  be made by hand. Useful and Decorative Baskets have been   the utensil to carry goods like gatherings from the wild in fruit, vegetable, grain and wood for fire.  Special baskets have been woven by the natives of the world  from specific grasses to hold water,  thus the people could carry water and even cook water and foods in these baskets. These people were true artisans by necessity  but they also were  weaving baskets with artistic designs. One may still admire some of these indigenous works of art in modern Museums.

While most baskets are woven for specific purposes and needs , some artists weave baskets for decoration and have their very unique expression manifested. Even the decorative basket may have an application as Useful and Decorative  Baskets. The materials for baskets are mostly natural and from plants and trees,  some leather strips may be used in any way to be a binder or a decorative accessory to the design. Some people have been using even plastic pieces in the basket weaving,  however that is in general rather undesirable.  we use, like the natives, baskets to carry just about anything.  Find below a large decorative basketwoven by renowned artist Gudrun  Napp.

About Fine Art

Fine Art means all art is the communication venue ! The artist is creating his or her vision via any artistic outlet such as drawing, painting, sculptures, photography, graphic design , film making , music or in journalism. It’s any art we see visually,  in two and three dimensions ! The natural landscape is a powerful tool artists have used throughout time. We seem to want to recreate what we are looking at and at the same time change it to put our own interpretation and character into it which gives any expression the uniqueness it deserves in perhaps a watercolor painting. Contemporary Fine Art is the current version of living artists who produce fine art, music or any other art or craft object. Art is not limited to drawing, painting, sculptures etc. There are the living visual arts such as the painstaking shaping of the Bonsai tree or creating the next beautiful hybrid rose. We started with the incredibly gorgeous vintage rose and now we literally have hundreds of different kinds of roses in various sizes, colors and fragrances.

Then we have the art of using silk as our canvas for a creation of fashion or even as a contemporary fine art online galleries make it possible to for the silk artist to show the creations world wide as has any other artist introducing his or her technique and medium in contemporary fine art. The musician has as well many ways to publicize the music in concerts and contemporary television presentations.

The sculptor can choose different materials to create visually stunning pieces like stone, marble, wood, different metals or clay. Here again the artist is able to let the imagination guide his or her creation to produce a figure, an abstract form, use color or natural tones. Any art is a wondrous process beginning with an idea that grows into a project and is worked on until the finished and polished product is ready to be unveiled and shown.

The caveman had to express his ideas with primitive tools. The contemporary artist has now at his disposal a myriad of tools and newly developed technical devices to create abstract illusions or figurative images. Most of us have admired light plays as an illusion fantastic presentation in theme parks or other open spaces which are very creative technical works of art. An artistic expression can go just about anywhere, the imagination has been vast and daring in so many contemporary creations that can be mind boggling. Communicating through word as an actor, through paintings as an visual artist, through many different instruments as a musician, through sculpting with his hands using tools or even machines the three dimensional artist presents a visual image to the public. The writer gives mankind tremendously important communications in journalism as authors of book and poetry. These creative venues have existed since man has been alive, has just grown and developed with the evolution of men and is now the contemporary fine art as we see it.
