It is my opinion that collecting DATA from a group such as ours has Orwellian implications, We Artists take pride in our independence. History, tells that we do not react kindly to those whom would infringe upon it. We (Artists) were not asked to contribute the input of our opinions and questions to this nefarious exercise. Forethought in this regard would have been considered a courteous act. You demean us (Newbies & Hobbyist) the very people who make this site a success. If you fear ' "Artists Flight" you should cease and desist with hast. Thank you.

Hey there!
John Essmaker asked a question about eyes tonight, and it inspired me to create a few photos that I hope will help you create "emotion" in the human eye!
When I first did my portrait of Audrey Hepburn for my daughter (btw... daughter asked me to do this for her which explains why it has a "pink" color theme!), I was able to complete the majority of the piece in about 10 hours. I thought, well... this is going SPLENDID and I should have it done shortly!
And then it came time to render the eyes. I must have spent a MINIMUM of another 10 hours on the eyes alone. You may have heard people say that the human hand is the most difficult thing to render? I disagree... I believe that capturing and rendering emotion in the human eye is FAR more difficult!
Also, I'm always blown away by how extremely subtle changes affects emotion radically!
Basically, the eyes are a watery, semi-transluscent, glassy orb... surrounded by muscle and fatty tissue.
Okay so what?!?!? What am I getting at?
I'm glad you asked Scooter... 'cause here we go!
Here is a photo of the origianal painting, followed by a close-up of the eyes;
Close up (unretouched, but I had to rephotograph the painting to capture the detail);
Notice the wetness which causes reflections in the eye? This is commonly known as the "sparkle". In addition, the iris of the eye allows light in but is reflected back, which gives this portion of the eye a deepness, yet not complete depth as in the pupil. The pupil is where the clear lens is and light rarely is reflected back out of the eye at this point, so this is where the "deepness" of an eye is noticed.
Now, if we show just a LITTLE more white around the eyes... notice how the eyes suddenly look surprized, or anxious, or fearful (in the next few examples, I have used photoshop to alter the original and in this next photo I have not changed the size of the eyes at all... just added more white!);
Okay, now it starts getting REALLY interesting. In contrast to the eyes above, I will close up the eyelids a bit, and Audrey becomes tired, or melancholy (I will update this one soon, because adding bags under the eyes also indicates tiredness (stay tuned!!);
And if I turn the corners down a bit and add highlights where the water of tears is gathering on the bottom eyelid, we get a tearful eye. Of course the eye is much more wet... right? So I have added even more highlights on the surface of the eye in general;
Ain't that FUN?!?!
Oils make this EXTREMELY easy. You can push the paint around until you get it EXACTLY where you want it (but I'll warn you... IT IS EXTREMELY TIME CONSUMING!).
Now, if you are working with watercolor, you don't have the option to add highlights, unless you add an opaque white paint... which will make your painting appear "fake". If you want to create realistic eyes, you must "scrub out" where you want the highlights. It is MUCH harder to gain control, so it's not for the faint of heart. You can only "scrub" just so far... or you'll drive RIGHT THROUGH the paper (which I've done by the way!!).
Here is my portrait of Georgia O'Keffee followed by a close up of the eyes;
Now the close up;
There are still highlights, but it's much more difficult to make them work. If you notice the eye on the right... there's a highlight just to the right of the iris along the bottom of the eyelid, and on the white of the eye as well. I did this with an Exacto knife! After the paint was put on... scratch out the white paper underneath!. Also, you might notice that I really focused on creating the "Semi-Transluscent" aspect of the Iris in this painting. This gave a warmth and thoughful gaze to her eyes.
So... it's really all about light, the absence of light, and how the muscles function with different emotions. Here's the weird thing... once you start to notice this stuff? Well... you'll NEVER view the world the same way again. You'll start seeing the world in a completely different "light" (forgive the pun).
One last thing, the human face has an incredible amount of muscles behind it and is capable of MANY contortions. Isn't it amazing though that the eyes alone can tell us SO much about how a person is feeling?
Here's a short example and one last pic of Audrey's lips;
If Eyes are the hardest thing to render... lips are a VERY close second. Notice the VERY subtle lighting around the bottom corners of her lips? This is the ONLY thing that will indicate a slight smile (think Mona Lisa here). During the painting process of this painting I had a REAL problem with her expression as it was very "cold" and I couldn't figure out why. I finally figured out that there was just a hint of light at each corner of the mouth.
Also, do you want to paint juicy, luscious lips? It's all about the highlights baby!
So there ya have it. I hope this has been helpful, and if you should have any questions... ya know where to find me!!
All the best
Your cyberbud...

Watch this amazing video of the stunning Sandpainter :0)
sometimes it upsets me that one of us artist has something important to say either trying to help others or pouring our hearts out over something only to have 20 views or maybe 50 big deal, we have thousands of members and here goes one of those blogs that could really help someone.
i went through a period in my life when i was shy, really shy. i couldn't speak in public ,i couldn't ask in Kmart for an item i couldn't find, in a discussion i was the only one to have the answer and couldn't say a word. without saying this really held me back. i was afraid to even see the doctor but i did. i started taking PAXIL he said i had a SOCIAL ANXIETY DISORDER
all of the problems i had just went away and more i wanted to speak first i wanted to be heard. just 20 mg. PAXIL per day changed my life. i have since change to LEXAPRO a antidepressant with the same results. if your shy to shy to function take this note to a doctor and change your life forever. your friend john
My momma died last night
her tortured life
over
alcohol, insanity, demonic possession
she had become a monster
yet she gave me life
She gave me strength
through the pain
she gave me
I feel more relief than grief
at her passing
she is free
tortured life
caused so much grief
to everyone she touched
now we can truly speak
as spirits do
in dreams
I've always been a artist, you just know. i just never had time to enjoy creating.
four years ago late at night on a dark lonely stretch of road in Michigan i was alone.
driving a small escort i saw two headlights approaching directly at me .
they were so dead on i didn't know to turn left or right. a large truck hit me.
i was doing 55 he may have be doing 55, 110 mph, crash . i was totally conscious during this whole ordeal
my air bag went off, i saw it collapse, two bright lights in my face , my head was near the carburetor a small fire there
passersby stopping to help ,i tried to open my door, stupid, the people were saying get him out it's gonna burn
hands a lot of hands, pulling me through the rear window, it's burning, they say
now dragging me down the street , that hurt, it's burning, further, a gigantic fire, rain , bones sticking through my skin
no pain just shock and now i have time for my art, john
Katharine Hepburn renewed her film contract with RKO after The Lake and created one of her most iconic roles, as Josephine March in Little Women. The tmboyish stand-in for author Louisa May Alcott was considered the perfect Hepburn role. So, her next live theater choice seems odd.
Katharine Hepburn returned to live theatre in 1937 at the urging of the producers of The Theatre Guild with a national tour in the title role of Jane Eyre. How could one actress be right for Jo March and Jane Eyre? When you read the novels as an adolescent, they seem like the polar opposites of 19th century women. Re-reading Bronte's novel as an adult (and especially as a curator) made me appreciate how much of Jane's identity is wrapped up with her art. The Theatre Guild had worked with Vandamm Studio since the early 1930s, documenting each show with photography of full productions. Leading performers also had studio portraits in costume and in street clothes. The Jane Eyre photographs in the Vandamm Collection range from plot activity (Jane with Mr. Rochester, Jane with St. John Rivers, etc.), to portraits of the leading characters. Assuming that most of the potential audience knew the plot going in, one of the press shots used by Theatre Guild showed Mr. Rochester as he tries to console Jane and explain the wife in the attic. Hepburn and the Theatre Guild also selected two studio poses. She is dressed in a sedate black outfit with a white fichu, and uses her “Jo March” hair-do, with short curly bangs. In the 3/4 torso pose, she holds a book, befitting a governess. The "head shot," a specialty of Florence Vandamm, seems some how more in control of her own destiny. These two photographs were in both the Vandamm Collection and the Katharine Hepburn Papers, Billy Rose Theatre Division, The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts. The adaptation of Jane Eyre by Helen Jerome mever made it to Broadway, but the Guild next offered Hepburn what became her signature role -- Tracy Lord in The Philadelphia Story (1939). It established her as a star of modern-dress social comedies.

HI ALL!
I've been working hard the past few days during my absence from Ovation. I wanted to post a couple of photos so you could see what I've been up to. I'm currently working on a Wall Sculpture called "Richter 6.8" (part of my "Seismic" series). The piece is assembled on a Masonite Frame, with various "3D" levels of additional layered Masonite. The rest of the piece consists of Aluminum, Exotic wood (African Mahogany) and some REALLY cool glass rods that are transparent with a core of orange glass!
I wanted to post this blog so that you might get an idea of how Craigo works. I have the basic sculpture done. However, to do the color study, I import a photograph of the piece (see below) into PhotoShop where I do the colors and add various items that I will build into the finished sculpture. Finally, I add shadowing and other lighting effects so that I can get an idea of what the finished "3D" sculpture will look.
The last step of the process is to paint the entire piece in oils according to the color study.
I hope you enjoy! I'll post more as the work comes along!
All the best,
Your cyberbud,
Craigo

I think that it is time to vent and utilize some of our disappointment over the "Points System". We should do what ARTISTS have done over the centuries,use our raw emotions and turn them to our advantage. Let us harness that elevated energy as well as our creativity, combine those powerful forces and put them to good use.
I propose that we create "Points Art". I profess this is not my idea, as it has already begun. Collectively we shall create grand works of ART inspired not by turmoil, but our most sincere intentions. A quest to heal this bruised community of ours, "Ovation TV My ART". Thank You.

Okay, magic day...
I met a feller today that I feel I've known for my whole life... but actually only met him for the very first time today! I'm talking about our very own beloved Community Ambassador, Stuart! I had an AMAZINGLY good time with my new friend and my only regret is that we live so far apart! I'd love to hang with this guy all the time. A consummate artist, his approach to Photography is quite different from any other photographer I've ever met and I had the pleasure to see him in action! Stopping often, he had an eye for beauty and caught this beauty at every turn (except of course for those photos he took of me!!).
The first stop was at the world famous Cattlemen's Cafe, a steak house that is a little bit of history. You can visit their website by clicking HERE.
Next he took me to some AMAZING bronze sculptures (which I will let him post and talk about... because he has all the cool photos and I'm sure he'll post them soon.
Then, completely by accident, we were driving through downtown and happened upon the site of the Federal Building disaster monument. Stuart and I walked around in virtual silence, overcome by strong emotions. If I wasn't so tired right now, I'd go into it a bit more in detail, but as tired as I am... the emotions are running a little high and I don't think I can completely express what I felt and saw. Stuart took some photos... poignant shots that I hope he'll share with you soon.
After that amazing visit, he dropped me of at the airport where we sat and had coffee and talked some more... and probably would have sat there all night if I hadn't noticed that I was in danger of missing my flight!
Anyway... I want to thank you my friend for such a special day! I enjoyed myself tremendously... and feel I have a freind in you for life!
All the best Stuart, and all my Ovation friends,
Your cyberbud,
Craigo

Read the recent article, Point Toe, Click Mouse from the New York Times
What is great art about? Truth, Beauty, Love? War doesn’t immediately
leap to mind. But once you think of it, you realize that the list of
great art about war is nearly endless... Iliad, Odyssey, Mahabarata.
Guernica, Rape of the Sabine Women, Goya. 1812 Overture, Star Spangled
Banner. Macbeth, Henry V. Grand Illusion, Paths of Glory, Full Metal
Jacket. Patton, Gone With The Wind, The Sound Of Music and the list
could go on and on.
ART OF WAR is a week long programming event that looks at a small sample
of the myriad ways that artists have attempted to deal with war. It is
one of the great pragmatic functions of art – when weighty decisions
have to be made, human beings turn to art to distil insight,
understanding, and even solace out of chaos and suffering.
Coming on the eve of the national political conventions, this
thought-provoking but not overtly partisan or political mini-festival
will present a variety of feature films and documentaries all related
to war.
Ovation TV invites you, the community, to upload any of your
artwork related to war and tag it to the group, Art of War. There is no
contest here, just a chance to share and discuss your perspective. We
will be curating our home page in August and displaying your works to
the rest of the community.
Tomorrow (6/25/08) we are premiering several episodes from a design series called Better By Design . Each episode focuses on different functional items and follows designers as they find ways to vastly improve them. Here is the line-up:
 |
Better By Design: Bins |
 |
Better By Design: A Better Razor |
 |
Better By Design: Home Security |
