Welcome to my blog on Gothic art, which I created for all gothic artists who want to learn more about our craft and how to improve. My goal is to provide you with a collection of resources that will help make you a better artist, regardless of your skill level.

Gothic art is a very specific type of art and it is important to know what is expected when creating such work. As you create your pieces you know that there are certain techniques and tools that you will need to employ in order to create the best work possible. This article will give you some tips for creating better Gothic artwork.
The first tip for Gothic artwork is to learn about the style. One of the things you want to avoid is having your work look like it was created by an amateur because you did not really understand the style or did not even try. Gothic artists often use black outlines, deep rich colors, detailed backgrounds and textures. By learning about these techniques you will be able to create better artwork.
Before creating any work consider what kind of mood you would like to convey. Is it a happy piece? Is it a sad one? Do your best to make sure that the mood comes across in your painting. When creating a piece for someone else it can be good to talk about this with them so that they can help guide what mood they would like conveyed in the piece.
When considering how realistic or abstract you want your artwork to be consider what the audience might want from such a piece. Some people want something very realistic so that they can almost
Art, like anything else, is something that you can learn to do better. I’m not the greatest artist in the world, but here are some notes on what I’ve noticed that helped me improve and get better at it.
If you want to become a better artist in any field (any art form), you have to be willing to accept constructive criticism from other artists. A lot of people have trouble with this, but if you’re serious about improving your art, it’s important. You’re not going to get better if you don’t know what you need to work on.
You also have to be willing to criticize your own work. Many artists are too kind to their own art. They won’t tell themselves what they need to hear. This is especially true of younger artists; very few people will tell them the truth when they start out and they never learn the habit of being honest with themselves. That’s why they don’t improve as fast as they could.
The most important thing though is to work hard and practice a lot. There are many different things you can do as an artist, but without practicing and doing a lot of work, you’re never going to be good at any of them.”
Icons are considered by some to be the most important and powerful form of prayer. They are used to focus the mind on God, to raise the heart and mind to Him. Often, icons will depict a scene from scripture or from the life of Christ.
Triptychs are also very popular and are used in the same way as icons. The triptych is usually made up of three panels which depict a scene from scripture or from the Holy Life. These panels can be opened separately and often show a different aspect of the event depicted on each panel.
Discussed here are examples of Byzantine Icons, Byzantine Triptychs, Russian Icons, and Russian Triptychs which have been collected by Dr. Stephen Uhl, who is currently working on a book on icons that will be published by Ignatius Press in 2009.
