I use traditional materials such as oil paint and graphite pencil along with new technology such as digital photography and computer imaging. I use this blog to share my work and my experiments with new tools and materials.<\/p>\n<p>My art is about texture, color, form and emotion. I want it to be about more than just what it is a picture of and to give the viewer a feeling of joy or serenity or melancholy or any of the other emotions I feel when I look at nature. My goal is to have viewers look at my art, feel something and then say &#8220;that&#8217;s beautiful.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I hope you enjoy my art!<\/p>\n<p>www.artwebsites.com is an online resource for artists and art enthusiasts, providing inspiration and information across a wide range of art mediums.<\/p>\n<p>Art Websites is a comprehensive online resource for artists, including free tutorials from professional artists, galleries, portfolios and so much more!&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>The site also has articles about different art mediums, how to choose brushes, markers and paper and a gallery in which every week new artists are featured.<\/p>\n<p>Tone:&#8212;&#8212;-<\/p>\n<p>I love color. I love how it brings light and warmth to a painting, how it can define form and bring character to a subject, how it can set mood.<\/p>\n<p>Color is a craft as well as an element of art. A painter has many tools at his\/her disposal to manipulate color: mediums with different viscosity such as oils, acrylics, and watercolors; special glazes and varnishes; solvents for thinning or removing material; and many more. It takes time to learn the properties of these tools and discover what they are best suited to. It&#8217;s always fun to experiment though!<\/p>\n<p>This is a selection of websites created by artists. They are not art sites, they are blogs.<\/p>\n<p>I am not an artist, so this is not a recommendation. I have just collected some links that I am interested in and that might be interesting for others as well:<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/www.luluartblog.com\/ http:\/\/www.highresblog.com\/ http:\/\/www.thereelmichaelangelo.com\/ http:\/\/www.lumapix.com\/ http:\/\/www.gigpixeltime.com\/ http:\/\/www.theartofphotographynow.net\/ http:\/\/www.photocreationsmagazine.com\/ http:\/\/photographyservedfreshdaily.blogspot.com\/ http:\/\/vimeo-photo-video-group-pools-groups-of-photographers-creating-cooperative-accounts-to-share-videos<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m a painter and collage artist. I&#8217;ve been working in my studio creating art for over 20 years now. I work with mixed media, acrylics, watercolor, pastels, ink, colored pencils and pen and ink. You can see more of my artwork at http:\/\/www.etsy.com\/shop\/rkfigueroa.<\/p>\n<p>I love to create art that is both abstract and representational. I also love to paint and draw faces. My artwork is available on canvas, wood panels, paper or archival surface giclee prints. I also have t-shirts and other items available on my etsy shop: http:\/\/www.etsy.com\/shop\/rkfigueroa<\/p>\n<p>I have a degree in Fine Art from the University of Massachusetts in Lowell (BFA)<\/p>\n<p>My name is Karl Kinstler. I am a digital artist and graphic designer from Las Vegas, Nevada. It was in 2000 that I created my first website with the intention of publishing my work online and keeping my friends and family updated on what I was doing. At that time, before social networks like Facebook, MySpace and Twitter became popular, the idea of an artist or creator having their own personal website was pretty novel.<\/p>\n<p>In 2008, I decided to combine all of my artwork into one site and have since been posting new work on a weekly basis.<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lur6Sr5srYY?autoplay=1&#038;mute=1\"><\/iframe><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_4yYfxMWhQw?autoplay=1&#038;mute=1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am a self-taught artist with a BFA from the University of Utah in Salt Lake City.
