Download or read book Painting and Reinterpreting the Masters written by Sara Lee Roberts and published by The Crowood Press. This book was released on 2020-01-27 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries, artists have learnt from the art that came before them. This book explains how to make paint meaningful and imaginative responses to the works of the masters. There are step by step examples to illustrate how to get started and how to use thumbnail pencil sketches. Advice is given on how to make larger and slower drawings, and then oil-sketch copies of the masters' work. The author studies the composition, rhythms and colours of the masters and uses their work as a source to practise and understand paintings, and as a springboard for your own discovery and invention. This book explores how a brave and imaginative use of colour can reinterpret paintings to achieve a greater and more expressive effect. Images from the earliest art to the twentieth century are included to feed your creative imagination, and examples of contemporary interpretations to show you the way. With over two hundred inspiring images, it is a unique guide to developing your own artistic voice while studying and enjoying some of the art world's greatest treasures.

Book excerpt: Painting technique is a relatively neglected aspect of art history, although technique is vitally important in the development of painting styles and movements. In this volume, the techniques of 77 of the world's greatest painters are examined in over 100 of their finest paintings. This comprehensive study shows the development of technique from the frescoes of Giotto to the acrylic paintings of David Hockney, revealing the extent to which changes of technique and the evolution of artist's material went hand in hand. Some of the unique features of the book are: -- A concise description of the career and general technique of the artist -- Actual size details indicating the scale of the work -- Diagrams showing the unpainted blank surface and subsequent sizing stages -- Illustrations demonstrating the underdrawing of the work -- Reproductions of the whole painting and a series of details -- Extensive captions to explain the relevance of each detail This book, compiled with the aid of a team of 14 technical consultants, experienced as either picture conservators or art historians, is an invaluable tool for the appreciation and understanding of the great paintings of the past and the present.
