| The Technique of the Masters If you don't learn all that went before you can't move forward. apprentices. Techniques died with them. As art moved into the 20th century many techniques of the great masters had been completely lost. I am fortunate that in the lineage from artist to teacher I am not only just a few generations directly from great masters at the Smithsonian, but that those before me had a great passion to rediscover the methods and media of such greats as the 17th century Dutch & Flemish painters. With this classical training and a curiosity of materials, I have brought the methods forward; making a less-toxic form of the wax-based medium I learned to paint with. Or trying the same techniques in wax-based pencils. I have developed, like all artists, a personal style and method. But even as I draw in colored pencil, I find myself unsatisfied unless I render the skin to look like skin; translucent In the old days, artists had studio secrets, only passed to their also, I love to experiment and am sure that with the right technique, and understanding of materials, artists should accomplish even better work than what has gone before, as we keep striving forward. |
