first and then i work from the sketch chilica stills iii by prabal mallick watercolor 15 x22 how did you arrive at your current style i think 90 of the style comes from the personality of the artist it is always there the rest 10 which is about the skill set and outlook keeps changing with time but this 10 is actually very important and one needs to keep working on it for the 90 to present itself clearly i think i have just started working on that 10 and it will take some good time for my style to get defined on paper do you have a favorite artist who has been your biggest inspiration oh there are many van gogh is my all time favorite artist among contemporary watercolor artists milind mulick charles reid joseph zbukvic alvaro castagnet are my favorite to name a few milind sir s paintings were the reason i got inspired to do watercolors plein air museum by prabal mallick watercolor 15 x 11 what are some of your favorite things or things that are essential to your well being success as an artist to have faith when you decide to embark on an artistic journey you are telling yourself that this will be a never ending and lonely journey which will keep testing you all the time and the only thing that will carry you ahead on your path is faith plein air tipu s summer palace by prabal mallick watercolor 15 x 22 do you have go to paints colors and brands what are your favorites in brands there are no favorites as such i use an indian brand called camel i am quite used to it by now in colors i use 3 4 varieties of primaries and in secondaries i have an orange a magenta and two greens what are five things you would like to happen in your life in the next five years dream big here in no particular order get much more painting time study under my favorite artists go on a painting world tour grow as a person improve my skills at least a 100 times over plein air lalbaugh flower show by prabal mallick 15 x11 what is your advice for other artists who are just getting started in their career an artist s journey has no destination it is the journey that has to be enjoyed there is no alternative to practice which will improve the quality of this journey keep reflecting to check whether the direction is your own and most importantly have faith plein air ulsoor lake by prabal mallick watercolor 15 x 11 what is the best advice that you have received as an artist this probably is the simplest but most profound words of advice i received in art no one else can solve one s problems one has to find the solutions oneself one has to find one s own path that is when a painter can become an artist so just keep at it princess khairi by prabal mallick watercolor 15 x 22 speed round chocolate or vanilla chocolate sunny beach or rustic mountain retreat

severe drought and in dire need of some rain so i guess the cook waller challenge this month is timely crystal came up with the theme of water now confession time this challenge was due a while ago but yours truly has been crazy busy i think crystal has been pretty busy also with commissions and summer with the kids but i have finally gotten my act together and created my first painting in our new home i took the photo reference for this at our old home in alabama i set these water bottles up pool side i loved the contrast of the abstractness of the bottle against the abstractness of the pool and i love love love blue and turquoise so this painting was right up my alley i did change quite a bit from the photo reference check wednesday for the work in progress pictures of this painting to see crystal s answer to the challenge click here sammy and i celebrating my fabulous art bag for transporting framed pictures please ignore my half closed eyes also this past saturday was my hmmmm hmmmth birthday so we had a nice little celebration at home my mom and grandma had been here the week before so it s been a family filled month my mom made this fabulous art bag for me i saw someone at an art exhibit bring in their framed works in bags similar to this and took a picture and asked my mom to make one for me she went above and beyond and reinforced the bottom with a very sturdy fabric and made the hand super durable and it even has a velcro closure this will make lugging around framed works so much easier it also pads and protects them while being transported i already put in a request for an even bigger one fat bottomed girls bid now being auctioned at dpw i also got a little better photo of my painting from last a couple of weeks ago i hope you are staying cool and

french feature martine alison she has her answers in french and english so considerate of her for all my english readers i ve put that in green and for all the french friends check out the purple martine s work whimsical and fun i was not shocked to read that paul gauguin was a favorite artist of hers to see more of her work check out her blog how did you get your start what s your artist journey so far je suis autodidacte et je peins depuis l adolescence lorsque j étais enfant je prenais beaucoup de plaisir à peindre avec le thé resté au fond des tasses je peignais aussi avec de l eau boueuse mais avant tout je dessinais je ne pouvais pas me passer de dessiner je n avais pas comme la plupart de tous les enfants des crayons de couleurs seulement un crayon graphite je rêvais d avoir une belle boîte de crayons chaque jour en allant à l école je m arrêtais devant la vitrine du marchand de couleurs et je collais mon nez pour regarder de plus près les magnifiques boîtes qui s y trouvaient je savais déjà je crois que je ne pourrai jamais me passer de dessiner i am self taught and i paint since adolescence when i was a kid i took a lot of fun to paint with tea remained at the bottom of cups i also painted with muddy water but first i was drawing i could not live without drawing i hadn t like most of all children colored pencils graphite pencil only i dreamed of having a beautiful box of crayons every day going to school i stopped in front of the window color merchant and i pressed my nose to look more closely at the beautiful boxes that were there i already knew i think i could never do without drawing where were you born je suis née en france à saint etienne dans la loire une ville qui se situe dans le centre de la france à environ 1 h de route de la ville de lyon c est une ville qui est à la porte de l auvergne i was born in france in saint etienne in the loire a city that is located in the center of france about an hour away from the city of lyon this is a city that is the gateway to the auvergne face to face by martine alison if you could live anywhere where would you live il y a tant d endroits où j aimerais vivre je sais que j ai besoin de lumière de soleil et de calme j aime le sud de mon pays où j ai vécu des années heureuses mais je pense que je pourrais facilement m adapter si ces trois raisons étaient réunies il est vrai qu il est parfois difficile pour un français de quitter son pays pour vivre ailleurs mais en réfléchissant cela ne serait pas un problème pour moi there are so many places i want to live i know i need light sunshine and calm i love the south of my country where i spent happy years but i think i could easily adapt myself if these three reasons were met it is true that it is sometimes difficult for a french to leave his country to live elsewhere but on reflection this would not be a problem for me combining exhilarating by martine alison what s your favorite thing to paint and why j aime peindre des petites femmes peut être parce que je me connais bien en tant que femme mieux que s il fallait peindre des hommes j ai peint une seule fois un homme pour une cliente qui possédait plusieurs de mes toiles et qui m avait demandé de faire une exception je fais apparaître aux côtés de mes petites femmes des animaux l ensemble de mon travail laisse transparaître la priorité au dessin c est la base solide de mes compositions même lorsque je crée des bouquets créer et peindre des petites femmes est pour moi mon mode d expression mon interprétation reste dans le domaine de mon inconscient et le résultat est l écho de mon état d âme du moment mon monde est semé de rêves à la limite du naïf et il m entraine vers une sensualité délicate i love to paint little women maybe because i know myself as a woman better than if we had to paint men i painted once a man for a client who owned several of my paintings and asked me to make an exception appearing a long side of my little woman are animals all of my work leaves reflected the priority drawing this is the foundation of my sketch even when i create bouquets create and paint little women for me is my mode of expression my interpretation is in my subconscious and the result is the echo of my mood of the moment my world is fraught with dreams on the edge of naive and which leads me to a delicate sensuality apples of love and rose cider by martine alison could you talk about your painting techniques j aime travailler l huile je pense qu elle me correspond bien car je travaille lentement lorsque mes enfants étaient petits je pouvais ainsi laisser mon travail en suspens et le reprendre plus tard ma technique n est peut être pas celle qui m aurait été enseignée si j avais reçu des cours c est en faisant des erreurs que j ai appris et que je continue d apprendre cependant j aime fabriquer mes huiles en utilisant des pigments de la marque blockx que j achète déjà broyés mais que je continue de les écraser à la molette de verre parfois je broie un pigment durant une année plus il est broyé finement plus j obtiens une grande luminosité après l avoir mélangé avec de l huile d oeillette et de l ambre les dosages et mes recettes me sont propres que ce soit une toile de petit ou grand format je travaille uniquement avec de petites brosses de martre de chez manet 2 et 4 ainsi que des pinceaux 0 00 et même 000 sur une toile d un format 50 x 50 cm je passe environ 1 mois à 1 mois et demi de temps entre la création et la peinture je suis très exigeante sur la qualité de la toile je peins sur des toiles de lin extra fin sur lesquelles sont enduites 6 couches de gesso entre chaque couche la toile est passée sous un rouleau qui écrase les fibres ce procédé évite à la toile de subir des modifications après une élaboration lente de mon croquis je l achemine vers un univers rempli de couleurs je peins de gauche à droite comme on écrit sans presque jamais revenir sur la partie peinte je dis de gauche à droite car dans le sens contraire ma main risquerait de brouiller le travail exécuté je suis droitière toutefois je parviens aisément à utiliser aussi ma main gauche je ne veux pas essayer de peindre en couvrant toute la toile je crains de trouver mon travail déprimant je peins en transparence sur un dessin établi et achevé pour que mon trait ne disparaisse pas autrement je perdrais le trait de départ sous la couche et il me faudrait revenir constamment sur mon dessin je peux peindre en transparence 5 ou 6 couches sans que vous puissiez en deviner le nombre chaque peintre a ses petits secrets je peins comme je cuisine à l instinct i enjoy working oil i think it suits me because i work slowly when my kids were little and i could leave my job on hold and resume it later my technique is perhaps not one that would have been if i had been taught lessons it is by making mistakes that i learned and i go on to learn but i like making my oils using pigments blockx brand i buy already shredded but i go on to mash with a knob of glass sometimes i grind a pigment during one year finely grind the more i get more high brightness after mixing it with oil of poppy and amber the dosage and my recipes are my own whether a small or large format i work only with small sable brushes from home manet 2 and 4 as well as brushes 0 00 and even 000 on a canvas of 50 x 50 cm i spend about 1 month to 1 ½ months of time between creation and painting i am very demanding on the quality of the canvas i paint on linen cloth extra fine which are coated on 6 layers of gesso between each layer the fabric is passed under a roller which crushes the fibers this prevents the fabric subject to change after a slow development of my sketches i move towards a world full of colors i paint from left to right as written almost never return to the painted area i say from left to right because in the opposite direction my hand might confuse the work performed i am right handed however i am able to easily use both my left hand i will not try to paint covering the entire canvas i m afraid i find my work depressing i paint in transparency drawing on established and completed so that my line does not disappear otherwise i would lose the line of departure in the layer and i would need to reposition themselves on my drawing garance by marine alison how did you arrive at your current style je me rappelle avoir toujours dessiné et peint dans ce style avec bien sûr moins d assurance qu aujourd hui je ne sais pas si le fait d a...
