William Worcester Artist: September 2010

Monday, September 13, 2010. Spelling Problems, Randomness and the Painting of Flowers. Recently I have been experimenting with painting small floral pieces as a occasional respite from landscape painting. I have never been enamored of stiff looking still lifes, but I find the randomness of flowers in nature intriguing. Can you see the organic swirl, almost "S" shape leading the eye to the flower in this painting? Or the spirals in this one. William Worcester Fine Arts. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). What co...

William Worcester Artist: January 2011

Wednesday, January 5, 2011. Oil Painting Demonstration at Fermi Lab Art Gallery. This is the demo painting, I kind of like it's looseness. It allowed me to show some of my painterly tricks such as: painting with a rag, wiping out branches with a q-tip, and smearing paint on with a palette knife. Some photos from the demo. No, I wasn't doing my Michael Jackson impression, the glove was to keep paint off my hands so I wouldn't leave my fingerprints all over Fermi Lab. William Worcester Fine Arts.

William Worcester Artist: How to paint a plein air oil painting (at least how I do it)
http://williamworcester.blogspot.com/2011/07/how-to-paint-plein-air-oil-painting-at.html
Sunday, July 17, 2011. How to paint a plein air oil painting (at least how I do it). This week I had a wonderful day painting the Fox River. I was standing in the above scene right on the grassy bank shown above. Not shown is the ducks, geese, and fishermen hanging around. I unpacked my French Easel (which I use instead of my Open Box M pochade box when I want to paint at a larger size than 11" x 14".). Next is a close-up view of my palette:. Here I've added the rest of the color and added some detail.

William Worcester Artist: March 2011
http://williamworcester.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 15, 2011. Imaginary Lands and Semi-Abstraction. One of my favorite artists is George Inness. Inness was a follower of Emanuel Swedenborg's teachings. Swedenborg thought that this world was but a shadow of the real world, and Inness tried to capture that concept in his later paintings. Even though I don't subscribe to the "unreality" of the physical world, I do like the idea of painting what is a reflection of the material world as captured by the imagination.
