Beauty, The Invisible Embrace
John O'Donohue turns his attention to the subject of beauty -- the divine beauty that calls the imagination and awakens all that is noble in the human heart.

My medium of choice is watercolour. Watercolour is never boring, I love the unpredictability in it, the surprise factor as I watch the colours mingle and blend on the paper in front of me. I love the depth that can be created with watercolour; the layers are transparent so their stories
can be told.

4 Tips for Writing a Good Artist Statement
Writing an artist statement can be a daunting task. The prospect of composing a concise summary of your art practice to help others understand your work is understandably intimidating. However, having a clear, direct artist statement is essential, particularly on applications for grants, art schools, open-call exhibitions, residencies, and other career-advancing opportunities.

Expeditionary Art
I work in the tradition of traveling artists as naturalists and educators. Since 2005, I have focused on painting polar and glaciated regions where I have often collaborated with scientific teams. In the field, I sketch with ink and watercolor, and collect multimedia recordings to build my palette of place, a record of experience, climate, and color. I develop this work into studio paintings for exhibit as well as presentations and workshops for audiences of all ages to cultivate observation, scientific inquiry, and environmental awareness.

Recontextualising botanical art through sound, publishing and painting.
One of the things that intrigues me about her is her use of sound. She spends great amount of time recording the sounds of the area where she sketches her plant-life. These recordings are playing as she paints each piece and are often playing at her exhibitions. So as you are viewing her pieces, you are immersed in the sound of the locality, as well.
Brilliant!

"I have a sort of love-hate relationship with painting. I would rather do anything than start a painting: clean the oven, make lists or even do the ironing. But once I’m in the studio and the first marks are on the white paper, I go into a world of my own, oblivious of everything except colour and form. I find my creativity so hard to start up and even harder to walk away from."

World Watercolor Month
31 Days of Painting with Watercolor
A Charitable Event to Support Arts Education
Charlie O’Shields started to capture little bits of the world in ink and watercolor in July 2015. Even though he hadn’t picked up a pen to sketch in over 20 years and he’d only just used watercolor for the first time that day, he got excited about it and Doodlewash was born.
Vocabulary - Inspiration and Afflatus
Inspiration might be described as a breath of fresh air, and so it is appropriate that inspire derives in part from a word meaning "to breathe"—Latin spirare. Afflatus is a lesser-known word for inspirationthat followed a parallel route.
Afflatus, which in Latin means "the act of blowing or breathing on," was formed from the prefix ad- ("to, toward") and the Latin verb flare ("to blow"). That Latin verb gave us such words as inflate and (via French) soufflé. The Roman orator Cicero used afflatus in his writings to compare the appearance of a new idea to a breath of fresh air. Nowadays, one often finds the word preceded by the adjective divine, but poets and artists can find afflatus in the material world as well

Vocabulary - Grisaille
The colour grey has been used throughout art history. The technique Grisaille relies on it. Here the background and outlines of a painting are composed in grey and white, the colours then applied on top, and the underlayer giving a helpful shading effect. Rembrandt, an expert at mixing a wide variety of greys, used this technique for many of his portraits. Another artist known for his use of grey was James McNeill Whistler, who mixed a very particular grey for the background of his 1871 painting ‘Arrangement in Grey and Black No.1’, best known as Whistler's Mother. Whistler's extensive grey tonal subtleties went on to directly influence the French composer Claude Debussy’s 1899 musical composition ‘Nocturnes’ of which he wrote "an experiment in the different combinations that can be obtained from one colour – what a study in grey would be in painting."

Kay Sirikul Pattachote
"I'm interested in natural ecosystems and the cycle of life. The laws of nature and the three characteristics of existence in Dharma of Buddhism (impermanence, incompleteness, and non-self) inspire me to tell a story through my art. I prefer to keep such stories discreet within the painting, allowing the viewer of my artwork to either discover it exactly as I had intended or leaving them to find a story of their own within the brush strokes and layers."

The original Cadmium is a rare soft metal, similar to Zinc but much harder to find naturally in the earth. It was only when it was discovered as a by-product of the Zinc refining process, that it became used a commercial pigment.
