Unreferenced date October 2008 Casein paint , derived from milk casein , is a fast drying, water soluble medium used by artists. It generally has a glue like consistency, but can be thinned with water to the degree that fits a particular artist s style and desired result. It can be used on canvas panels, illustration boards, paper, wood and masonite . Because the dried paint film is inflexible and brittle, it is not appropriate to be applied in heavy impasto s on flexible supports such as canvas. Casein paint is reworkable and can be used for underpainting. It generally dries to a matte surface matte finish. Casein paint has been used since ancient Egyptian times as a form of tempera paint, and is still used today. One of the qualities that artists value casein paint for is that, unlike gouache , it dries to an even consistency making it ideal for murals. Also, visually it can resemble oil painting more than most other water based paints, and works well as an underpainting. A quick way to make casein painting medium is to take some skim milk cottage cheese and first wash off any of the milky fluids. The lumps of casein left behind are then dissolved by adding, in a pot, water and some ammonia. The ammonia should be preferably in the form of ammonium carbonate. As the mixture is stirred while it warms it begins to froth and the lumps dissolve. It is not boiled but kept simmering and stirred until the frothing stops. After the syrup is cooled, that is the medium. It keeps in a refrigerator for about four days. Native American artist Oscar Howe of South Dakota used casein extensively. Santa Clara Pueblo artist Pablita Velarde created a series of more than 70 paintings of everyday Native American life in New Mexico for Bandelier National Monument between 1937 and 1943, painted mostly on masonite using casein paints. Casein was widely used by commercial illustrators as the material of choice until the late 1960s when, with the advent of acrylic paint , casein became less ... more details

These sporting scenes together with his winter landscapes and farming images, rendered in a unique tempera style with impasto se colouring, complemented his other artistic gifts as both an architect and graphic artist . Many of his paintings can be seen in the Museum gallery in Kitzb hel. Alfons Walde produced his first watercolour and tempera paintings during his schooldays. From 1910 to 1914 Walde studied architecture at the Technische Hochshule in Vienna . At the same time he continued his education as a painter, In the Danubian metropolis he moved in artistic circles that included Egon Schiele and Gustav Klimt , and he became influenced by Ferdinand Hodler . In 1911 Walde had his first exhibition in Innsbruck and in 1913 presented four farm pictures at the prestigious Vienna Secession exhibition. From 1914 to 1917 he actively participated in World War I as a Tyrolean Kaiserchutze in the high mountains. After returning to Kitzbuhl, he fully devoted himself to painting and participated again in exhibitions of the Secession and the Vienna K nstlerhaus throughout the 1920s. By around 1928 Walde had finally found his own characteristic style, one that gave expression to both the Tyrolean mountain scenery particularly the living winter landscapes and its robust people through the use of highly reduced drawings and pastel colouring. Throughout the rest of his artistic career his work stayed with the subject of his homeland, and retained the same distinct native style. The Impressionism impressionistic , momentary feelings conjured up by Walde s paintings gave them a unique and characteristic place in international art history.

Here, shafts of brilliant sunlight burst over a spring landscape near the hamlet of Trefasser, Pembrokeshire. Private collection. David Tress born 11 April 1955 is a British artist noted particularly for his deeply personal interpretations of landscape art landscapes in and around his home in Pembrokeshire , southwest Wales. He combines the techniques of collage and impasto with conventional painting and drawing to produce results that have been categorized as a form of abstract expressionism . Early life Tress was born in Wembley , northwest London, and studied at Harrow College of Art before graduating in Fine Art s from Trent Polytechnic, Nottingham now Nottingham Trent University . In 1976 he moved to Pembrokeshire where he has lived ever since. His wife, Marijke Tress Braaksma, is also an artist. Work and technique In Wales, Tress began painting local scenes in water colour and other media, developing a highly detailed realism epitomized by works such as http cairsweb.llgc.org.uk images gcf GCF02002.jpg Winter Sun 1983 and http cairsweb.llgc.org.uk images gcf GCF05060.jpg First Sun, Preseli 1984 . Deciding that he had reached the limit of what he could achieve with realism alone, he instead developed an aggressively expressionist style that involves physically scraping or cutting the painted surface and then repairing it, building up layer upon layer as if to mimic the seasonal sequence of decay and regrowth. Tress makes sketches in the field but the final paintings are done in his studio, relying as much on memory and emotional response to the subject as on the original drawing. Although much of his work borders on the abstract, some, particularly his graphite drawings, is intensely realistic, taking on an almost photographic quality when ... more details

Ching was the son of Chiang Kai shek s last ambassador to Cuba. During the mid 1960s he studied painting at Cooper Union the Cooper Union Art school School of Art in New York City , and during the early seventies lived in Paris and Amsterdam, where, in 1976, he had his first one man show. Cheng returned to New York that same year and checked into the Hotel Chelsea Chelsea Hotel intending to remain for two months he lived and worked there until his death in May 1989. Ching Ho Cheng created artwork from torn paper. To create these variously scaled abstract pieces, Cheng applied iron powder to torn paper which was sealed with waterproof layers of gesso , mat medium and modelling paste employed to create a sense of relief. He used a special catalyst to begin a lengthy Chemical reaction chemical process of transforming the iron into rust. The paper was soaked in water for days and dried, acquiring a hard surface. Cheng controlled the process by deciding when to remove the paper from the wash. Cheng would sometimes resoak the paper in order to obtain the desired surface and textural coloration. He manipulated viscous surfaces with the smaller works and hoped to achieve a greater impasto with the larger torn paper pieces, as these pieces had a tendency to break if too heavily laden. ref Geldzahler, Henry November December 1988 Studio Visit Ching Ho Cheng , CONTEMPORANEA ref At a time when Asian Americans were nearly absent from the contemporary art scene, Cheng was highly regarded by peers and by prominent art historians such as Gert Schiff and Henry Geldzahler , the first curator of twenti ... more details

Biography Mancini was born in Rome and showed precocious ability as an artist. At the age of twelve, he was admitted to the Institute of Fine Arts in Naples , where he studied under Domenico Morelli 1823 1901 , a painter of historical scenes who favored dramatic chiaroscuro and vigorous brushwork, and Filippo Palizzi 1818 1899 , a landscape painter. Mancini developed quickly under their guidance, and in 1872, he exhibited two paintings at the Salon Paris Paris Salon . Mancini worked at the forefront of Verismo movement, an indigenous Italian response to 19th century Realist aesthetics. His usual subjects included children of the poor, juvenile circus performers, and musicians he observed in the streets of Naples. His portrait of a young acrobat in Saltimbanco 1877 78 exquisitely captures the fragility of the boy whose impoverished childhood is spent entertaining pedestrian crowds. While in Paris in the 1870s, Mancini met Impressionism Impressionists Edgar Degas and douard Manet . He became friends with John Singer Sargent , who famously pronounced him to be the greatest living painter. His mature works show a brightened palette with a striking impasto technique on canvas and a bold command of pastels on paper. In 1881, Mancini suffered a disabling mental illness. He settled in Rome in 1883 for twenty years, then moved to Frascati where he lived until 1918. During this period of Mancini s life, he was often destitute and relied on the help of friends and art buyers to survive. After the World War I First World War , his living situation stabilized and he achieved a new level of serenity in his work.

Peploe moved to Paris in 1910, a period which saw him concentrate increasingly on still life and landscape painting. His still life works show the influence of douard Manet Manet , with combinations of fluid brushwork, thick impasto and dark backgrounds with strong lighting.

It is the largest of no fewer than eighteen works Monet painted of his home commune of Argenteuil while it was under a blanket of snow during the winter of 1874 1875. This painting number 352 in Wildenstein s catalogue of the works of Monet is the largest of the eighteen. The attention to detail evident in the smaller paintings is less evident in this larger picture. Instead, Monet has rendered large areas of the canvas in closely like tones and colours of blue and grey. The application of smaller strokes of greens, yellows, reds and darker blues breaks up these large expanses, and the almost choreographed dispersal of these various colours helps bind the picture together.
