April 2007 Painting Video edition #1. Oil painting on canvas. I love this period of Picasso’s work and they are really fun to copy. Picasso himself loved to copy. For example, he copied a Cezanne still life for Gertrude Stein. These Picasso copies are not meant to be exact and take about an hour each to do.

A first for the web – and everywhere else. The Twelve painting techniques provided albeit in glimpses. (Please note this video uses practice boards to demonstrate the techniques – these boards are NOT actual paintings).

If you want satisfaction with your art, you’ll need this toolbox. See at least briefly what the techniques are and what they do.

Combine these techniques your way and you can create magic on your canvas and in your career.

These are like musical scales to the composer, or ingredients for cooking, or the mechanics of an engine. You won’t get anywhere much without these in painting.

Taken from our comprehensive Fine Art Techniques DVD Triple Pack. Available right now from our website. This is four hours of very detailed information for you, along with other requirements for an art career. The Triple Pack includes of course important information for the painting medium used in this YouTube video, along with everything else.

A demonstration of how I go about setting up my palette for oil painting..

I’ve recieved some great questions so Im going to answer them here (confounded word count!):

As far as what goes on in the palette, I mix basic groups, more so when Im landscape painting, but I dont spend too much time planning (on purpose). Dont use as many greys as Picasso did but maybe I will some day. I use a lot of white, basing my mixes on it like Gauguin did. I love to experiment and avoid formulas. My palette always changes and often spins out of control but thats ok as I only take an hour or two to paint. Sometimes I work with 2 palettes. I rarely use a single hue to harmonize from the palette but rather let the wet (or dry) underpainting unify the painting based on the mood or temp I want to express. Also the messy brushes help add unpredicted colors and if it gets muddy I just lift it with more pigment. Need lots of rags to do this and I limit my use of turpenoid, going with pure linseed oil and sometimes copal medium and Damar varnish. I should do a demo on my way of using mediums and mixing..
Ive done a few great paintings on a limited palette (see Presidio Doorway on my site) but the painting ends up looking a bit too traditional for me so I usually dont do that. Lately I think, the more color the better and the more one can successfully get away with using pure color balanced with a touch of tonalism (one to three ration of complimentary colors) the better. Not unlike what Matisse did..

James Kalm once again goes undercover to bring viewers unauthorized video of Cy Twombly’s latest exhibition of paintings, “Blooming: A Scattering of Blossoms and Other Things”. With this collection of recent paintings Twombly has encouraged his most lyrical expressions. With a poetic sense influenced by the elegant simplicity of haiku, these pieces have a reduced color spectrum and a basic repeated form manifest as bursts of blooming blossoms. Despite having lived in Europe for the last fifty years, Twombly still holds a major place in postwar American painting. These works bare witness to his continuing vigor as a major influence among young artists.
