Bissett is Paint-Off Winner!

Water Paint-Off Winner

Water, Water Everywhere was one of the most popular All-Media Paint-Off challenges to date—and that made for some stiff competition. Several voters remarked that they had a tough time choosing among the four finalists, but in the end, Robert Bissett (message-board user name robert_bissett) won the day with his painting Fishermen (below), which he says is based on a scene from a nearby lake. Robert is not only an artist, but also a painting instructor and author. You can visit his website at www.buildart.com/index.htm.

 
 
Bissett will receive a $50 North Light Books gift certificate for his winning entry—not to mention our congratulations!

Riverfront Park

We caught the matinee performance of 'Phantom of the Opera'. Very good. Still had daylight so we grabbed our sketching stuff and headed for the river and a little plein air drawing. Sepia pen on paper. Lots of kids around. A few looked and allowed as we are both really good.

Pencil Sketch

I've been reading about Bill Turner (JMW Turner). Looks like he tried painting out with oils a few times, but didn't care for it much. He preferred to do a drawing on watercolor paper on location, then add color back in the studio from memory. Or do a pencil sketch and an oil painting from that. Anyway he relied on his memory. With that in mind I did a pencil sketch of this scene from memory...no peeking at the painting or photos. Interesting how the memory works to edit and correct the design when given the chance.

Clay Bank Pareidolia

Pareidolia...describes a psychological phenomenon involving a vague and random stimulus (often an image or sound) being perceived as significant. Common examples include images of animals or faces in clouds, the man in the moon, and hidden messages on records played in reverse. The word comes from the Greek para- —"beside", "with" or "alongside"—and eidolon—"image" (the diminutive of eidos—"image", "form", "shape"). Pareidolia is a type of apophenia.
 

See any faces and animals? I do.

Gorilla, lizard, cow and elephant

First look at a New Work

Moonlit Lake
33x21"
Acrylic on canvas

I've been doing paintings of Roman Nose Lake for many years. This may be the best yet. Close to being done. Only paint and medium on this one again as I learned to do from the John Hammond DVD. No water mixed with the paint as normal.
