When John Hancock signed the Declaration of Independence, he didn’t just write his name with blotches and crappy writing. He scripted it, elegantly, beautifully….. large.
Granted, most people learned cursive writing in third grade like I did. We were then forced to use it through the next two years of elementary school for every assignment barring [...]
I have been looking for an art print site for awhile now. I tried a few of the photographic sites like winkflash, but it is catered more to the photography side than it is to the artists. I still like winkflash the best for photography, but ImageKind has been my newest addition of services that [...]
I was playing around earlier today. I know this trick has been around awhile and maybe I just missed it somewhere along the line. I thought I would share my translucent monitor with you.
Granted, I know my colors are off just a little here, but in person this is actually about right. It’s funny how [...]
I tend to be a purist when I buy paint. I will only usually buy black, white, red, yellow and blue. If I need green, I make it. So in this case this probably comes out to be a vibrancy that I didn’t really expect.
I have to admit there was a [...]
I think I’ve been watching the videos on Dale Chihuly’s site a little too much (teaser for what I am planning for this piece). I found an old canvas featuring a painting I never finished and lost the motivation for and thought I would revamp it and see what I could do with it.
So first [...]
This site is called Artist Hideout. As I have shared with family and friends this new site, I have been asked a few times why “Hideout”? It’s a fair question. When I was looking at domain names, certain things were just not available. This was. It also really fit the idea that many people deliberately [...]
I ran across this in my research for my last post about Abstract Expressionsim. I made this online at www.jacksonpollock.org using flash then took a screenshot for you to enjoy. Use your left mouse button to change the colors and if you stop it makes a large blob of color there. It’s slightly addicting so [...]
Jackson Pollock is one of the most well-known proponents of the Abstract Expressionism movement, but he was certainly not the only artist to delve into the abstract in this way. The term “Abstract Expressionism” refers to art that is not particularly realistic in it’s subject, but more emotionally true to the artist in form. Since [...]
I would like to invite you to participate in Artist Hideout through submitting your own artwork for inclusion on this site. One part of art in any form is experiencing it and sharing it so I want to make that available to you. I will often do projects myself or explore a particular media and [...]
Van Gogh did not live in the secret place of the world where he saw jet engine turbulence as many of his paintings seem to indicate according to Paul Scrivens. This excerpt from an old copy of Art Journal, “Art, Madness, and Human Interaction” details that Van Gogh experienced a variety of mental disorders [...]
