Purple Palette Magazine: Attitudes

http://purplepaletteartists.blogspot.com/2013/07/attitudes.html

A FREE magazine for artists by artists just like you! Jul 1, 2013. Lately, I’ve had to deal with more people than I usually do. Many of them all had conflicting attitudes and I found that pretty interesting. Only a few of these people knew one another. It’s amazing how one person’s attitude can rub off on others. Some have good attitudes and some are bad. Some are positive and some quite the opposite. They can bring me down in a heartbeat. I’m so sorry they’re so miserable, but I didn&#82...None of us se...

Purple Palette Magazine: How to paint fur

http://purplepaletteartists.blogspot.com/2009/06/painting-fur.html

A FREE magazine for artists by artists just like you! Jun 24, 2009. How to paint fur. Well who hasn’t wanted to paint their pet? Two crucial things for painting realistic fur are to paint the hairs in the direction in which they grow and for the fur to be lying in the correct direction on every part of the animal’s body. I would recommend that you start looking at animals, and photos of animals and see if you can identify the growth pattern. Once you learn how to see this you are on your way. Then we com...

Purple Palette Magazine: Preparing different surfaces with Liquitex Gesso

http://purplepaletteartists.blogspot.com/2009/08/preparing-different-surfaces-with.html

A FREE magazine for artists by artists just like you! Aug 5, 2009. Preparing different surfaces with Liquitex Gesso. Artists have used wooden panels for centuries. The ones that were properly cared for still survive today. If those early artists had access to masonite they would have preferred it to wood. Masonite is a wonderful surface to paint on, and much cheaper than canvas. The only disadvantage is that is does not have the "spring-back" feel of the canvas. Use a nylon brush for the back and a foam ...

A FREE magazine for artists by artists just like you! Jun 10, 2013. Brushes I can't live without! Time for cleaning and boy do I have a lot of useless brushes sitting next to my canvas! I decided to scale down to the ones I really use and love! Years ago when I was affiliated with a brush company they sent me brushes to try out. Most of them have gone by the wayside because they either didn't do what I wanted them to do or they didn't last. Why do artists need to have so many brushes anyway? The Moon Mop...
