What I see, when someone writes "subtoot"...

And that's one of many reasons I love this community...

Cartoon style drawing of a submarine, made of metal plates with various hues of gray and/or pale blue. It has three round windows, big mastodon tusks on front and big woolly trunk instead of periscope, reaching above the water surface.

Backpack. An urban sketch I took ages to do, because I wanted to combine an outdoor sketch with the first Inktober prompt. Drawn on location, at an old bus stop, with details finished at home.

#art #UrbanSketching #MastoArt #InkSketch #inktober2024

A black ink drawing in a small sketchbook with white paper. A brush pen lies along the top edge of the page.

The drawing shows a 20L backpack resting on a wooden bench next to a wooden slat wall.

A woodblock print, depicting a clowder of cats. All we can see are the cats' faces, but we can tell that some of them are bicolor cats (both orange and black), orange tabbies, gray tabbies, Turkish vans, calicos and black cats.

Well I did it, I submitted my photography to the Desert Art Center’s fall jury for exhibition and sale. If they accept, my prints will be available this winter and spring alongside a bunch of other local artists. No matter what happens, I’m proud of myself for taking this step! (Also: curation is haaaard…)

The Drawing That Got a Renaissance Master Banished From Rome

Is all press still good press?

Portrait of Federico Zuccaro, by Fede Galizia (1604), oil on canvas, at the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy.

It shows Zuccaro in three-quarter view against a dark, neutral background, emphasizing his face and upper body.

The sitter has short, thinning gray hair, a high forehead, and a neatly trimmed gray beard and mustache.

His expression is calm and introspective, with slightly downcast eyes.

He wears a dark, austere garment typical of late 16th–early 17th century elite fashion, offset by a crisp white collar.

A scene that looks like a clumsily assembled stage set. Two-dimensional colored stars hang from strings against a blue-purple canvas. The canvas has several visible patches. The stage is a curved yellow-green surface that resembles a hill, with visible seams and a round hatchway in the middle from which a brown ladder is protruding. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

What feels strange about the people in Seurat’s painting? | National Gallery

"Georges Seurat's painting 'Bathers at Asnières' is a simple picture of men and boys relaxing by the River Seine and yet there is something unsettling about this scene."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m09w3fm-HVU

#art

Bathers at Asnières by the French artist Georges Pierre Seurat

"The canvas is of a suburban, placid Parisian riverside scene. Isolated figures, with their clothes piled sculpturally on the riverbank, together with trees, austere boundary walls and buildings, and the River Seine are presented in a formal layout." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bathers_at_Asni%C3%A8res

The King of Coins card is depicted in the form of a Watusi bull. This bull is rich, stable, and successful. Covered with gold and other precious metals of the planet Earth, symbolized in the coin above its head. Obsessed with power the king goes beyond earthly riches therefore the universe surrounds this animal with glowing stars and colorful milky ways.

Study Shows That Viewing Real Art in Museums Stimulates Brain Much More Than Reproductions.

Art lovers travel far and wide to see their favorite paintings in real life. Surely, they may have seen them dozens of times online or in books, but getting to witness the real thing just hits differently.

irl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer.

Johannes Vermeer - https://www.mauritshuis.nl/

The painting shows a young girl, dressed in an exotic, turban-like headscarf, with a large, luminous pearl earring dangling from her ear. She gazes over her shoulder, her lips slightly parted as if she's about to speak, and her eyes, wide and clear, seem to engage directly with the viewer. Her pose and expression convey an air of mystery and intimacy, inviting interpretation and speculation.

The background of the painting is dark and neutral, allowing the girl's face and clothing to be the focus. Vermeer’s use of light is extraordinary, with soft highlights accentuating the girl's cheekbones, nose, and the glistening pearl, creating a lifelike, three-dimensional effect.

"This Vista de Valencia, composed of 5031 individual pieces of type, has a distinctly digital quality to it.

It's made almost 100 years before the advent of ASCII art, but the image's construction, the trees in particular, bear an uncanny resemblance to the semigraphic style of Commodore PETSCII art."
