As you know, here at ART CENTER INFORMATION, we wish to progress art through awareness.

In the art blog post entitled “Leading The Eye With Color and Light”, we wrote: In my paintings, I like to consider the different ways of leading the eye of the viewer with color and light. The unfinished painting shows an example of this.

It shows red umbrellas vanishing in the distance, creating a directional arrow pointing to the main focus of the painting. This, along with the sheen of sunlight reflecting off the top of the character’s heads, helps direct the viewer’s eyes. Almost certainly, color is the most obvious and elusive element of light.

Here at the art center, we seem to be a little more than just a little obsessed by light and color. In the blog post entitled “Painting the Characteristics of Light”, We said that there is hardly anything in a painting that matters as much as the light that illuminates it.

Light is the energy that makes things happen, and it affects every portion of the painting process by making things visible and colorful. If an artist thinks of it like a separate tool to work with, they can use it to intensify the subject matter.

Have you ever wondered how artists find their niche? Here is an excellent article that discusses just that in our blog post entitled “How Artist Find Their Niche”. In the article, we mentioned YOU are the magic. Whatever you do, it will be original. This is true even if all you are thinking of is your next work of art or if your total concentration is on an art career. However, you must first make a determination.

You must ask yourself, “How bad do I want it?.” their are tips here that challenges you to be your best. How bad do you want it? You will never know until you know exactly what it is that you want. If you haven’t already read the blog post, I invite you to do so by clicking on the painting >>>>>>

Finally, the last suggestion we make is the article entitled “Tips: The Thrill of Experimenting”. What artist does not enjoy the new discoveries when we experiment with medium on substrate? In the blog post we mentioned that of all the thrill of painting, experimenting with your art and talent can create moments of complete recreation that seems more like play than work. Is art work? Of course it is; but no one said you can’t have fun wile you work. Be free! Allow the wind beneath your wings and soar the universe of colors and shapes.
