Watercolor Live 2023 post hmm

Started working on Irena Romans class today. She showed us her home studio today. I want one like hers. The background is poured. A whole lot of options for messy Margaret to flood the world with blue. Eeek. A whole Lot Of Masking. Ruined the old paint brush I was using. Oh well. One pour down and two to go. So far so good. It’s a mix of inathradone blue ultramarine violet dioxizine purple…

Shades of Grey

“There’s so much grey to every story – nothing is so black and white.” -Lisa Ling Where would the world be like without shades of grey? Everything would be either located at one extreme end of the spectrum or the other, with no indications of variations of everything in between. Everything would be harsh, absolute, and without compromise. In artwork, sometimes people perceive things created in…

Supersonic Art’s: "Gifts Artists will Actually Love!" (Holidays '22 Gift Guide!)

Here’s a little list of gifts artists will actually love.  

The list isn’t comprehensive by any means - in fact it’s quite brief considering how long it could be - but these are a few personal favorites which I think are important and was led to by talking to other artists, learning what their favorite art supplies and tools are, and many years of trial and error on my own.

So take a look below and hopefully find something for that hard to shop for artist or artists in your life (Or something for yourself):

(Some of these links below are monetized and I receive a small percentage of the sale if you decide to purchase something.)

Sketchbooks & Journals:

Maruman MNEMOSYNE Notebook - My personal favorite journaling notebook.  This larged-sized notebook has incredibly smooth paper and is just an extremely nice notebook to record anything.  It’s the best one I’ve come across and I journal in mine daily.

Moleskine Large Size Sketchbook - An unequaled sketchbook that has been hard to come by for the last few years.  Smooth paper that is thick enough and sturdy enough for a wide variety of media, but the truly special distinction of Moleskine’s sketchbooks are how wonderfully the paper accepts graphite.  The sturdy construction means you’re able to draw anywhere.

(Pro-tip: If you paint in your sketchbooks, use heavy duty binder clips to close the sketchbook.  It will keep the pages pretty flat!  But be careful not to smudge undried acrylic or oil paints.)

Pencils

Mitsubishi Hi-Uni Pencil Set - The Bugattis of pencils.  These are better than any others.  I use them personally and have never come across a better set of pencils.

Mechanical Pencils

Staedtler 925 95 - At nearly $300, the Staedtler 925 95 is the Holy Grail of mechanical pencils.  It is the best mechanical pencil ever made and was discontinued because it was too well made (Seriously).  You can only find them on eBay these days, but if you have the money and want something truly special, these are worth it.

(Please note - This mechanical pencil is so sought after that there are often imitations being sold.  Currently there is only one available on eBay.  They show up from time to time.  Also please note that this is the “925 95.”  There are also 35s and 25s; which are somewhat good.)

Platinum Pro-Use 171 Matte Black - An acceptable (and affordable) replacement for the Staedtler 925 95.  Extremely well made and a well-weighted mechanical pencil.  It also has a tip protector - which the 925 95 lacks.

Paper

Fabriano Artistico Extra White Watercolor Paper 22” x 30” 140 lb or 300 lb Hot Press - Professional paper for a multitude of mediums.  By far the best paper I’ve ever come across.

(“What are you talking about?  Arches paper is the best!” – Look, Arches paper is great and I’ve used it plenty of times before, but the moment I started using Fabriano - I never looked back.  It is the far superior paper in my opinion.)

Canvas & Stretcher Bars

Artel - I suggest cotton canvas from Artel - An affordable company based out of Belgium that makes truly excellent canvases.  Their metal stretcher bars are by far the best stretcher bars I’ve ever had the pleasure of using.

Wood Panels

If you use them or know an artist who needs some, wood panels should be custom built and there’s no one better out there at making them than Craig Hejka at Hejka Studios based in Detroit, Michigan.  Craig’s craftsmanship and knowledge is unmatched and exceptional.  Seriously: The.  Best.  You’ll need to contact him directly about having them made, but he has a nice contact form on his website.

Acrylic Paints

Golden Heavy Body Artist Acrylic Paints - These are the best acrylic paints out there.  I’m not sure why you would use any other brand other than price.  They offer acrylic sets and up to multiple gallons of specific colors.  Have fun! 

Oil Paints

Well, this one is a hard one.  There is such a wide range in discrepancies of color and quality between brands and within brands that it’s hard to narrow it down to just a few items or a set of oil paints.

That being said, every artist who uses oil paints probably needs more white paint for mixing colors.  Here are a few of my favorite titanium whites:

Holbein Titanium White - If you’re unable to locate a lead based white from the olden days, this is a pretty good match.  (Don’t actually seek out a lead based paint please - They were really amazing, though and this is just sorta an artist joke).  This is a fantastic titanium white.

Grumbacher Titanium White - A more than suitable white for oil painting.  Probably the best?  I don’t know.  I use this one and Holbein’s.

Winsor & Newton Titanium White - Another, more than suitable, titanium white.

Please note if buying for someone else: ARTISTS ARE INCREDIBLY PICKY ABOUT THEIR PAINTS.  Please ask your artist what brand they prefer before buying them any paint.

Paint Brushes

Qualita Golden Taklon Brushes - You won't believe it, but these brushes by Qualita are spectacular! Not only that, but they won't bust the bank.

Painting Accessories

Silicoil Brush Cleaning Tank - Every artist needs a few!

Richeson Nesting Porcelain Palette Sets - Great for paint mediums .

Stainless Steel Brush Stand - I use this for holding brushes (Wash your brushes by hand).

Easels

Note: I am lucky enough to have built my own easel to my own specifications.  These easels have not been tested by me.

The Santa Fe II - This looks to be a fantastic professional easel.

Richeson Italian Field Easel - I hear this is a truly excellent field easel.

Blick Heavy Duty H-Frame Easel - This looks like an excellent beginner’s easel with everything you might need; plus it seems professional and that is great motivation to work more.

Books

The War of Art - A phenomenal book that can help you understand why art is so difficult and why it must be, at all costs, pursued.  

David & Goliath - Sometimes what we think are obstacles are actually extremely valuable tools for overcoming adversity.  A fascinating read.

I Will Teach You To Be Rich - Being an artist is incredibly expensive.  Learn about finances and set things up so that you can continue making art for a very long time.

Barbarian Days - Sometimes you just gotta go surfing.

Ephemera 

Retractable Utility Knife - I have at least 5 of these and still don’t have enough.  I prefer Milwaukees, but as of writing this Amazon is out of stock.

Wooden Drawer Storage Box - Invaluable and stackable!

Dewalt Cordless Circular Saw - If I didn’t have a circular saw, there would be endless times I wished I had one.  A truly excellent gift for any artist - seriously.

Empire Framing Square - A remarkably valuable studio tool.  Will be used countless times and will last forever.

Did I miss something or get something completely wrong? Let me know! [email protected]!

This one may as well be called 'The Wave That Got Me'. Daniel Smith watercolours in Quinacridone Gold, Permanent Alizarin Crimson and Ultramarine Blue. Fabriano Artistico A5 hot pressed 140lb cotton paper.

I was at Coogee a few weeks ago having a quick dip, and I kept inching out into the surf even though I knew the intermittent big ones were taller than me and very powerful. So yeah, this wave pushed me down, stole my sunglasses, and spat me back to shore.

"Spogliare la Grecia è stato uno scherzo.

Aeroporti, qualche isola, industrie zero, terre poche, risparmi privati ridicoli, demanio interessante.

Comunque la Grecia aveva un Pil inferiore alla sola provincia di Treviso.

È bastato un sol boccone.

PER L’ITALIA È DIVERSO:

Un capitale assolutamente enorme.

Secondo al mondo in quanto a risparmio privato, primo come abitazioni di proprietà, terre di valore assoluto e coste meravigliose.

Quinta potenza industriale al mondo prima dell'euro, ottava oggi.

Il Made in Italy è ancora oggi il marchio numero uno al mondo, davanti a Coca Cola.

Biodiversità superiore alla somma di tutti gli altri paesi europei.

Come capitale artistico monumentale, non ne parliamo neanche: è superiore a quello di tutto il resto del mondo.

Francia e Germania, più qualche fondo americano, cinese o arabo hanno fatto la spesa da noi a "paghi uno e prendi quattro".

Tutto il lusso e la grande distribuzione sono passati ai francesi insieme ai pozzi libici passati da Eni e Total.

Poi anche Eni è diventata a maggioranza americana.

Anche il sistema bancario è passato ai francesi insieme all'alimentare.

I tedeschi si sono presi la meccanica, e il cemento.

Gli indiani tutto l'acciaio.

I Cinesi si son presi quote di TERNA, e tutto PIRELLI agricoltura.

Se ne sono andate TIM, TELECOM, GIUGIARO, PININ FARINA, PERNIGOTTI, BUITONI, ALGIDA, GUCCI, VALENTINO, LORO PIANA, AGNESI, DUCATI, MAGNETI MARELLI, ITALCEMENTI, PARMALAT, GALBANI, LOCATELLI, INVERNIZZI, FERRETTI YACHT, KRIZIA, BULGARI, POMELLATO, BRIONI, VALENTINO, FERRE’, LA RINASCENTE, POLTRONA FRAU, EDISON, SARAS, WIND, ANSALDO, FIAT FERROVIARIA, TIBB, ALITALIA, MERLONI, CARTIERE DI FABRIANO, ..... Ma...non hanno finito.

Ci sono rimaste ancora le case e le cose degli italiani.

E I LORO RISPARMI. CIRCA 3.000 MILIARDI DI EURO.

ORA VOGLIONO QUELLI.

Ecco chi ha chiamato Mattarella e gli ha "intimato " di procedere a sbarrare la strada a chi poteva mettere a rischio la prosecuzione della spoliazione.

I fondi di investimento, i mercati, che, come ricordavo raccolgono i soldi delle mafie, tutte, grandi e piccole, dei traffici di droga, di umani, di truffe internazionali, di salvataggi bancari, del "nero" delle grandi multinazionali, siano esse del commercio, dei telefonini, della cocaina o delle armi, questi fondi di investimenti dicevo, non hanno finito.

Ora tocca alle poche industrie rimaste, ai fondi pensioni, ai conti privati, agli immobili. Ora tocca a noi.

Ecco perché non serve a nulla mediare, arretrare un po'.

Non si placheranno, l'abbiamo già visto. BISOGNA FERMARLI ORA.

Ogni generazione ha il suo Piave. Questo è il nostro."

~ Gian Micalessin, giornalista indipendente

Done

Daisies so I tweaked it a bit more today. I have to say Irena Roman gave the best directions. I wrote them down during her session at Watercolorlive 2023 then offline I religiously followed them. The only thing I would do differently is make a bigger one. All that work and it’s only 1/4 sheet of fabriano 300# cold press. Next one at least a half sheet. Usually pouring you mix the colors on this…

Painted this on some fabriano artistico cold press, merging several different pieces of architecture from a variety of places.

I painted it with these seven pigments:

Progress

This post shows my progress on my leopard painting using Faber-Castell Pitt Matt pencils.

“I was taught that the way of progress was neither swift nor easy.”– Marie Curie It definitely is not. Progress is not always easy. Sometimes it is downright difficult. Especially when I am creating a new piece. I don’t know about any of you, but sometimes I think up these spectacular projects in my head. I think about them, plan them, and I am so excited about the imagined outcome that I dive…
