Caravaggio “put the oscuro (shadows) into chiaroscuro.” Chiaroscuro was practiced long before he came on the scene, but it was Caravaggio who made the technique definitive, darkening the shadows and transfixing the subject in a blinding shaft of light.

Drinking tea instead of coffee is alright from time to time.
Don’t put so much sugar in it either-replace it with honey.
It’s the beginning of October.
I’m in a few Liberal Studies courses at the moment, dealing mostly with the way the mind works and how Modern art is changing the way we see things. Two of my 4 classes this semester are mainly reading and writing.
I have a Critical thought class on Friday that has asked for us to mimic the work of a modern day painter and to add to it: I chose Julien Schnabel. His stuff is up at the AGO. I should go there more, but I don’t.
Here’s what I think:
I don’t enjoy his lazy form of finish in his work. The finished product to his work seems like the finished base of mine, where I continue to finalize it into something more.
Who am I to call another artist lazy?
In no way am I professing that I am better. Not it at all.
I’m just another artist saying that it looks unresolved.
Not “minimalist” unresolved…just unresolved. On the flipside, I do enjoy his technique and free motion of paint movement.
I think he should stick to making movies.
I’ll work with this for my final piece due next Thursday.
See what I mean?
I have a Painting workshop that has asked me to do 5-10 smaller sketches to produce a final painting of my choice. This is due in two weeks. I’m thinking of focusing on the movement of fabric and capturing that in painting. The final piece will be small, so I can work in heavier detail.
I am also in a digital painting class. It confuses me because I want to move paint around with a stick with hair on the end of it…not a mouse. I’ll figure it out. I’m working with photoshop a bit more and perfecting the art of transfer techniques. I like the look of hyper realism with paint on top of it.
I sketched this mug of tea in my Mental Health prof discusses Louis Sass’ article on Modernism and Schizophrenia…
