<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br style="background-color: white;" /><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">I found this painting whilst scrolling through examples of figurative art. I was immediately struck by the wonderful light and use of colour in the painting not only the skin tones but the many shades of red in the skirt and the cool blues used throughout the composition contrasting with the dark tones suggesting reflections on the floor. Although this artist does paint more complex subjects I like the simplicity of this one .</span><br style="background-color: white;" /><br style="background-color: white;" /></span><br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #1c1c1c;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the 18th century the
painting became known as the <i>Night Watch</i> although it is actually a
daylight scene, as became clear when the very thick, dark varnish was removed.
It was originally titled <i>The Company of captain Frans Banning Cocq and
lieutenant Willem van Ruytenburch preparing to march out.</i> <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 7.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #1c1c1c;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One of the most famous
paintings in the world by, in my opinion, the best painter ever to have lived
(apart from NL of course!)<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 7.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #1c1c1c;">This painting shows a
party of </span><span lang="EN-US"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musketeer"><span style="color: windowtext;">musketeers</span></a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #1c1c1c;"> stepping from a gloomy courtyard into the blinding
sunlight. The dramatic use of light and dark tones makes this an outstanding
work. The pictorial composition is carefully managed to show the juxtaposition
of individual figures amongst groups of companions. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 7.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #1c1c1c;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is an enormous work,
full of detail, narrative and drama.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

shiver looking at this!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I
was initially attracted to this painting by David Shevlino because of the
nostalgic feelings it provoked. A moment has been captured and suspended to
make it last forever and all with decisive, expressive marks and the use of
bright intense colour. In places some lines are broken creating unexpected
blocks of colour to form transitions and connections which cause a cohesive
effect.</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is my favourite picture by Van Gogh although I have
never seen the original which is in a museum in Conneticut. It is a small self
portrait - obviously Vincent is looking into a mirror. I like the picture
because his face seems to explode off the background and the face contains many
colours although they don’t show up on this copy of the picture in the print I
have on a book of Van Gogh there are a wider range of colours in the face.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Much of Turners work seems to consist of wild turbulent skies and seas, which I enjoy. His paintings in his early years, from 1793 seemed to be quite detailed, but somewhat contrived scenes. Using many different mediums. Following his trip to Italy in 1821 he began to discover the effect of light and colour. This is probably what he is most famous for. In later years many of his paintings became very indistinct and loose in style leaving much to the viewers imagination, whilst striving to capture light.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I visited
the Rembrant Late Works exhibition at the National Gallery this week. It was
stunning and incredibly moving. I was in awe.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 7.2pt; text-align: justify;">

gained a two things – Rembrandt’s powerful mastery of paint and brushstroke,
and his individual approach to his work. But I also felt something else,
something universal, a deep sense of our humanity and in particular the vunerability
of us all along life’s journey. The two
pictures above are looking at life from it joyous potential to its dignified end.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

closely. Colour attracts me immediately and the red fabric, tawny fur and
creamy skin tones against the dark background bring the lady closer to her
viewer. We engage with her, though she is looking to one side.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 7.2pt 36pt; text-align: justify;">

balanced. While head and shoulders are centred, a pleasing diagonal line is
formed by the fur wrap on the left, down to the hand, the wrist, the sleeve and
the bottom edge of the fur on the right. But it is the almost vertical line
from the little lap dog’s head, up to the pearl drop and to the lady’s face
which gives the picture its strength. Our eye returns to the lady’s serene
face.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

heavy lidded eyes, slightly uneven nose and a hint of jowls convey a thoughtful
woman rather than just a wealthy beauty of the day. Rembrandt used ashen
shadows against her pink mottled cheek to create both form and texture.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

of the dog and the fabric of the sleeve in the lower foreground serves to
enhace the head and shoulders of the lady which is finished in finer detail. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">But it is the pearls I
studied closely, trying to dechipher his technique. Brightest spot, edged by
darkest curved line, plus reflected light, in repeated pattern...but what
colours had he used? It was a magnificent 3D illusion. To have recreated the
depth and weight, complexity and beauty of her pendant in paint...phew!</span><span style="color: #222222; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A humble subject is made dramatically important and real in a painterly, organic manner. In this spare image the neutral palette, and tonal difference between back and foreground, is punctured by vibrant, red salmon surfaces. Lights and darks interweave with reds and touches of blue-green; gentle diagonals off-set an implied horizontal horizon.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The way the artist almost sculpts the image onto the canvas with thick impasto, the almost monochromatic palette and the way the features of the figure, although not clearly defined, still evoke a strong response from the viewer.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For me, it speaks of resignation, of desperation and defeat but still retaining a sense of dignity and even nobility against the odds.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I don't think a reproduction will convince anyone of the stunning effect it had when I saw it close up many years ago. I think the purity of light and atmosphere around the figures was astonishing and it's the main memory of why it made such an impact. The subject is devotional so the angels don't look odd in this context -it's not meant to be realistic. The main figures are grouped firmly on the earth and are strongly linked by their gazes. The colours of garments are intense. The landscape is delicate and isn't too detailed with buildings or people to distract. I liked the gracefulness of the figures and remember the Virgin's hands especially. I saw it in Italy but I've only now seen that it's in the National Gallery. I'll have to go.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In a year 2005-2006, Rose Frantzen painted 180 12" x12" 2hr portraits of anyone who turned up to sit for her. There is an inspiring youtube video where she discusses the project. I have selected this particular portrait from the project because I love the expression on the sitter's face. She looks like she's enjoying having her portrait painted. She looks animated, not just sat rigidly trying not to move. Frantzen seems really to capture the character of her sitters. Infact in the video she describes how they may sit and chat while she is painting, depending on the person, certainly looks like what was going on here. Her style for these quick portraits is quite loose and painterly and really amazingly finished considering the time scale. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love the choice of subject matter, a scene from everyday family life. The three figures are all in the same room, not interacting with each other but busy doing their own thing. They also occupy different distances in space, creating a strong sense of depth. I like the use of colour, there are small shapes of red, blue, yellow and green, which are like colour accents against the neutral hues used in the rest of the painting. It also seems to capture a moment in time, as the child is about to leave the room. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is what I wrote in my sketchbook while stood in front of this painting in the Rembrandt Late Works show.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Perhaps the greatest bit of <u>direct</u> painting I have ever seen. The ground colour (NOT burnt sienna but an opaque mix between b. sienna, raw umber and white) performs as neutral cools in the face and as very warm beneath the black in his vest. Here the marks are SO rapid, so sure, that the ground IS used, but not over-deliberately. The overall fuzzy evocation of the face sits next to slabs of flat black (hat) and white (collar). Here is the high point of what is possible working fast from life. You may never see this painting again, but remember it IS possible when you lose yourself like this."</span></div>

Questions abound as to what materials are needed, what type of easel is best etc. Here is a very basic roundup of what I use. Every artist finds their own solution and you will too.<br />
<br />
<br />

<li>Expect to forget something vital and know that you will probably be able to improvise. </li>
<li>Don't set your expectations too high - painting outdoors is unpredictable and great fun.</li>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A huge canvas simply known as “The
Bathers”. A sense of lazy, hazy relaxation contrasting with the industrial
landscape in the distance. Relaxing figures in all manner of timeless poses,
respecting each other’s space, alone in contemplation. Perspective enhanced by
the shrinking figures along the river bank- all (including the dog) drawn to
the water. Clothes scattered in contrast to the fully dressed (affluent)
figures in the boat.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

blends the colours is actually quite subtle. You can see this particularly in
the foreground of the painting.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

using a thick impasto technique to produce bold strokes that add strength and
texture to his paintings, giving them a structured feel/ I think that this
technique perfectly captures the rugged beauty of the North Welsh landscape. </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Using a dark background and bold strong oranges and reds create an intense dramatic effect. I like the usage of strong light on Jesus’ body and partially on the disciple’s faces, as it gives contrast and creates huge depth. The positioning of the head in the centre of the painting gives the painting a still, calming effect as it takes the eye from one face to the other, and finishes on Thomas’ finger in Jesus' side. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />Originally Harmony in Blue - an entirely blue painting inspired by a piece of patterned blue fabric - Toile de Jouy - owned by Matisse. Repainted in a saturated red. Even though the effect is of flatness, the eye is moved around the picture by the repetition of shapes in the decorative elements and by the lines indicating perspective. The view through the window adds depth, space and air to the painting. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My view on the painting, which is one of my favourites. The three trees seem to create two paintings. The left section contains the Bishop and his wife and a path weaving into the distant lady with a parasol. The right side frames the Cathedral. The central tree leans to the right the right hand tree leaning back in to the painting forms a triangle with the Cathedral in the centre. </span></div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_1_1398963362953_3876" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My favourites items in the painting are; the light shining onto the Cathedral, the light filtering thru the trees leaving light patches in the fields, the shadows and the reflection on the water. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Above all, the leaves, the sky and the clouds look almost real. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Instantly I felt drawn into the picture; I became one of the
crowd.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Where was I going?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Who was I going to meet?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I could almost feel the rhythm of my feet as
I walked on the hard pavement.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This painting is such a carefully observed street scene
brilliantly simplified by sifting perceptions and making choices.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The play with light and dark creates a whole
range of tones with a limited cool palette, harmonising the final effect.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I like the lack of distinction giving an impression of
figures in a crowd.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Aronson captures
their movement brilliantly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There is a ‘noisy’ side and a ‘quiet’ side.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The former is somewhere to go to be excited,
your eyes dashing around discovering.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The latter is a place to escape and become calm.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I need that reflection to slow me down.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think I’ve been walking very fast weaving
in and out and in between.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I like this painting by Manet. It suggests subject and atmosphere rather than states them using precise brush strokes. The loose, flowing style and the colours, which are not that naturalistic, all enhance the visual experience. The colour, the flow and the movement of the water looks effortless.... I bet it wasn't !!!!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I first saw this Painting in the Musee d'Orsay, Paris, and was immediately drawn to it. The work depicts a bourgeois interior where three workmen are scraping paint off the floor. The first thing that struck me was the golden light suffusing the room, flooding in through the window, leading the eye towards the centre, which is the lightest area, then fading to dark at the edges. I like the effect of this light on the torsos of the men, who themselves are painted in some detail. The floor creates an atmospheric sense of perspective and the sheen on the boards, depth.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">The painting is more than beautifully painted ballet dancers in a salon. The vast room is full of light and space, richly coloured and textured, using subdued colours from a limited palette in mostly highs tones. Contrasting colours are seen through the huge windows. Shadows play a sensitive and lively role throughout.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">By Robert Brindley, a fairly traditional painter who manages to capture the effect of light and hence mood in his impressionistic style of painting.

<span id="yui_3_13_0_1_1398369171233_4958" style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have been attracted to the work of John Piper for many years: I particularly like his drawings </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and paintings of buildings, the strong tonal values, very dark skies and dramatic white </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">buildings producing rich moods usually rather sombre.</span></div>

<span id="yui_3_13_0_1_1398369171233_4952" style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are many works which fit into this category, mainly 50's, 60' 70's era</span></div>

I feel almost drawn into this painting as you can from the scene almost feel the heat of the day as they take their siesta.

The dark blocks at the centre are balanced by the cool expanse of pale grey at the top and bottom. The eye is also drawn to the tiny patch of red which has echoes in the textured lines throughout the painting.</span></div>

<div id="yui_3_13_0_1_1398369743747_9597">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am drawn to this painting by Picasso for a variety of reasons:</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I Like portraits</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is decorative</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The composition is simple but strong, and beautiful colour combinations are used.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Picasso has captured her character in a variety of ways:</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love the choice of dress which, like her sad face, her carefully manicured hair, her fair skin tones, her posture, helps to suggest her whimsical delicacy.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The boldness of the background tapestry contrasts and therefore reinforces her gentleness and sensitivity. </span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The dark fabrics, which also emphasise the lightness of her skin, are beautifully painted.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The unpainted background helps the viewer to focus on the subject: i.e. the figure and the back of the chair.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The portrait is emotive.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It seems unlike most of his other work. </span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Just realised: Olga is a ballet dancer- NO WONDER I LIKE IT!</span></li>
