Poem (Tribute to mothers)

Mother's Poem

My Wonderful Mother

Mom, without you, there would be no me.
Your love, your attention, your guidance,
have made me who I am.
Without you, I would be lost,
wandering aimlessly,
without direction or purpose.
You showed me the way
to serve, to accomplish, to persevere.
Without you, there would be an empty space
I could never fill, no matter how I tried.
Instead, because of you,
I have joy, contentment, satisfaction and peace.
Thank you, mom !

My Miracle MotherMom, I look at you

Your unfailing love without limit,
your ability to soothe my every hurt,
the way you are on duty, unselfishly,
every hour, every day,
makes me so grateful
that I am yours, and you are mine.
With open arms and open heart,
with enduring patience and inner strength,
you gave so much for me,
sometimes at your expense.
You are my teacher,
my comforter, my encourager,
appreciating all, forgiving all.
Sometimes I took you for granted, Mom,
but I don’t now, and I never will again.
I know that everything I am today
relates to you and your loving care.
I gaze in wonder
as I watch you being you—
my miracle, my mother.

Sculptures!

There is another set of sculptures seated on a bench. This group is placed along Clarke Quay, Singapore. These statues were made from recycled materials. They have the finishing touch in the form of plaster, cement or binding material. This serves to minimize the ravages of time under the open elements. This design was sustainable as it reduced the amount of junk waste lying in the house. The five figures make a lasting impression as humans are naturally attracted to the unusual. They are present to remind people about the huge amount of waste generated. On the reverse side, they wish to inform the responsible people to recycle.

This sculpture is sustainable provided that it is used as it is. If a lot of energy is used to recycle the product, it is not eco-friendly and not sustainable. The landscape architect is usually in charge of the architectural design, site planning and recreational planning. He ensures that the statues on display would blend into their environment. This architect works a large variety of surfaces. To ensure that the statues maintain their form, he has used adhesive plaster to help the components adhere together as a mass. When the sculptures are preserved, there is reduced or no loss in the energy required to maintain them.

The seated sculpture represents a person reaching out. It is strategically placed at the end of a slab of stone seat. The body is seated comfortably because its center of gravity is supported by the seat. This is a green design as it recycled the metals to create something to reconnect with man and the surroundings. It used a metal, which is a somewhat natural product. The process used for creating the sculpture is not a harmful one. It is largely hand made.

When both statues are viewed collectively, they are seen as reaching out to each other. Their microcosm is not self-contained but also serves to remind us that they, the recycled metal composites, need to reach out to humans like us to ensure their own continued existence. Humans should recycle waste that belongs to sustainable technologies. This will conserve the earth’s natural resources. The artist conveys an ironic message with his sculpture. If a metal that is sustainable reaches out for help, then, what unknown depths do the environment need help in to sustain itself.

Water Colours!

When painting skies in watercolor, let the water do the work. Try this experiment:

1. Use a sheet of good quality paper to prevent buckling. Saturate the whole sky area with clear water.

2. Now take some cerulean blue (making sure it has been thinned down with lots of water) onto your brush and "dab" it onto the sky part of your painting in a fairly arbitrary manner.

3. Tip the sheet of paper upwards so that the color runs down towards the horizon in your composition. You will find you can control amazing cloud/sky effects as the blue "fuses" into the wet water-only areas of your paper.

4. You can also use other blues to "leach" into the cerulean blue to produce wonderful atmospheric effects.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Like any new form of art, watercolor painting can be difficult at first. It is only with time and practice that one becomes a better painter. Never become discouraged by your mistakes or lack of progress.

To start watercolor painting you will obviously need to purchase supplies. Purchase the best possible materials that you can afford. We all want to save as much money as possible, but if you work with cheap materials, you are not going to be happy with the end result, especially if you spend days or even months on a particular painting.

This does not mean you should go out and spend hundreds of dollars on top of the line supplies right away. Start off buying a small amount of good quality supplies until you become more experienced.

PAPER:

The quality and texture of the watercolor paper you choose will have a dramatic effect on the final outcome of your painting. Watercolor paper comes in several different categories: cold pressed, hot pressed, and rough. Rough paper has the highest tooth of all watercolor papers, giving you the most texture. Hot pressed paper has the smoothest surface available. Cold pressed paper has a slight texture to it and is more versatile. Cold pressed paper is the most popular paper amongst watercolor artists.

Two other things to be aware of when purchasing your watercolor paper are sizing and weight. Sizing is when the fibers of the paper are treated to make them less absorbent. The weight of the paper is the weight measured in pounds of one ream (approximately 500 Sheets). A heavier paper would have a weight of 300lbs or more, while a lighter paper would have a weight of 90 or 140lbs for example. The lighter the paper, the more likely it will wrinkle when wet. Lighter paper should be stretched to avoid this.

You will have to experiment with the different papers to find the one you like most.

PAINT:

Watercolor paints come in both Student and Artist quality. Artist quality paint has a more intense vibrant color. Student grade paints have more fillers in them rather than pigment, which is why they are less expensive. Many artists recommend only using artist quality paints, but it really is a matter of taste. Experiment on your own with both grades to form your own opinion.

Watercolor paint is available in tubes and pans. With watercolor pans, you have to add water to the dry cake in order for it to be workable. With pans, make sure your brush is clean before picking up a new color; otherwise you will dirty your colors. With a tube, the paint is more workable, but be careful not to squeeze out more paint then you need.

Purchase only a few primary colors and learn how to mix your own colors rather than purchasing premixed colors.

When you become more experienced, you can then start incorporating more colors into your palette.

BRUSHES:

Brushes are probably the most important part of an artist's supplies. The watercolor brush should be of good quality, with the ability to perform well under most conditions.

Brushes come in an assortment of sizes and shapes. There are both natural hair brushes and synthetic brushes. Natural hair brushes are more expensive, while synthetic brushes may not perform as well as natural brushes. It is therefore recommended that you purchase a blended brush that is made with both natural and synthetic hairs.

You do not need a ton of brushes to get started in watercolor painting. In the beginning, a few good brushes should do the trick.

You should at least purchase a round brush, a flat wash brush, an oval wash or mop brush, and a rigger or liner brush for fine details.

PALETTE:

You will need a palette for mixing your watercolor paint. The best kind of palette for mixing watercolor paints is a white palette. Since watercolor paint is transparent, a white surface seems to be the best color for clearly seeing your mixtures.

GETTING STARTED:

Now that you have a basic of idea of the watercolor supplies you need, it's time to find a place to setup your studio. You will want a location in your home or elsewhere that is quiet and where you will not be interrupted.

Next you will need a painting table. If you can, invest in a drafting table. If not, you can use a regular table. Whatever kind of table you use to paint on, it is important that your painting surface is inclined to a 15 or so degree angle.

Next you want to make sure you have an organized and clean painting area before you begin. Make certain that you have all the materials you will need within reach for that particular painting session.

Here are some things you should consider having in your watercolor studio:

- A large see through plastic jug to hold water.
- A clean absorbent cotton rag for drying your brushes
- A spray bottle filled with water to keep your paint wet and your palette clean
- Pencils for sketching
- Erasers
- A sketchpad for doing preliminary sketches.
- Container for your brushes

WHAT SHOULD I PAINT?

Many painters often struggle with this question. If you find yourself feeling uninspired or confused about what to paint, simply remember what subject in life that you feel an emotional or deep connection with. When you have this type of connection to a subject, your painting will reflect that passion and you will not lose interest.

You can develop great ideas for subjects in a variety of different ways. If you are a lover of the outdoors and nature, simply taking a trip with a camera can do wonders. If you love animals, you could take a trip to the zoo and snap off some shots or head to an aquarium and do the same. Take your photos back to your studio and find the most desirable subject for your painting.

I wish you the best of luck with your watercolor painting. If you become frustrated or discouraged remember that every artist has been there. The key is to never give up.

BEGINNING!

How to Paint With Acrylics
~ Getting Started ~

Perhaps second only to watercolors, more and more people want to find out how to paint with acrylics, as an introduction to painting.

It has many advantages - no smell, it dries fast and it's easily cleaned up with water. Acrylics is also a forgiving painting medium, so it has many attractions for the newcomer.

In these acrylic painting tutorials we'll look at what you need to get started and how to quickly produce some simple but effective paintings on a wide variety of surfaces - and not just with paint brushes either!

This video will go through some of the materials you need - brushes, paints and so on - oh yes, and how to easily make an acrylics paint palette at virtually no cost!

So press the big blue button and take yourself into the versatile world of acrylic painting....

After you've watched this 'Getting Started' video, see this how to paint with acrylics video series. In it, I paint a lovely, peaceful harbour scene using many of the materials and techniques decribed in here...

Tutorial 2!

Learn To Paint With Acrylics

Painting Red Wharf Bay - Part 1

This is the first tutorial in this learn to paint with acrylics mini series...

If you haven't seen the "Getting Started With Acrylics" video, which covers the brushes, paints, palettes and basic set up, it's best to watch that first.

In this first installment, we begin to paint a habour-side scene. It's a lovely little place called Red Wharf Bay in Anglesey. The tide is out and several boats sit stranded in the habour.

The first step in any acrylic painting is the underpainting. In this case I covered the entire painting surface (watercolor mat board) with a coat of thin yellow ocre acylic paint.

This undertone will help to pull the whole painting together and give a subtle glow that will show through the subsequent layers of paint.

The underpainting also helps to seal the mat board and prevent it from buckling. I painted both the front and back.

Once dry, I began to sketch out the scene with watered down ultra marine acrylic paint. As you'll see, I also blocked in areas of the picture to help me judge the correct tone later on. No need to get detailed or fussy with your sketch. It's about composition and balance at this stage. We'll be adding detail later on...

Symbolism in ART!

Symbolism originated in France, and was part of a 19th-century movement in which art became infused with mysticism. French Symbolism was both a continuation of the Romantic tradition and a reaction to the realistic approach of impressionism. It served as a catalyst in the outgrowth of the darker sides of Romanticism and toward abstraction.

The term Symbolism means the systematic use of symbols or pictorial conventions to express an allegorical meaning. Symbolism is an important element of most religious arts and reading symbols plays a main role in psychoanalysis. Thus, the Symbolist painters used these symbols from mythology and dream imagery for a visual language of the soul.

Not so much a style of art, Symbolism was more an international ideological trend. Symbolists believed that art should apprehend more absolute truths which could only be accessed indirectly. Thus, they painted scenes from nature, human activities, and all other real world phenomena in a highly metaphorical and suggestive manner. They provided particular images or objects with esoteric attractions.

There were several, rather dissimilar, groups of Symbolist painters and visual artists. Symbolism in painting had a large geographical reach, reaching several Russian artists, as well as American. The closest to Symbolism was Aestheticism. The Pre-Raphaelites, also, were contemporaries of the earlier Symbolists, and have much in common with them. Symbolism had a significant influence on Expressionism and Surrealism, two movements which descend directly from Symbolism proper. The work of some Symbolist visual artists directly impacted the curvilinear forms of the contemporary Art Nouveau movements in Europe and Les Nabis.
