Watercolor
Choosing Watercolor PaperWhen it comes to choosing a paper for watercolor, there are many things to take into consideration. The wide range of weights and surface textures of paper gives the artist an opportunity to explore different effects simply by using different papers. There are smooth finishes, slightly and heavily textured finishes--from blocks and full sheets and rolls over a yard wide to small, postcard-sized pieces-- from which to choose. There are sheets that use synthetic fibers for strength and texture and sheets toned in soft colors rather than the customary white tones. One is right for any watermedia project you might consider. As do many artists, watercolorists seem to gravitate towards a single type of paper, one that they have come to trust and realize how it will react when the sheet is put through its paces. But, with just a bit of flexibility and experimentation, you might discover other surfaces that lend themselves well to the style of your work and the way you apply your paints. And who knows, you might find a surface that offers surprising and exciting results. As a premier paper, a heavy, cotton fiber sheet is considered tops for professional work and for works that you wish to have a long life. High cotton content will insure two things. Cotton is naturally acid free, a quality that offers longevity and color retention. Papers that are not high in cotton fiber, those that are not acid free, often change composition, turning brown and causing a major change in the look of the artwork created upon that surface. The weight is the second factor to consider when selecting practice paper or paper for a finished work. Quality works of a professional nature or show entry possibilities might be done on a heavyweight paper. 300 lb. paper is the choice of many, although some manufacturers offer even heavier-bodied papers. Textures can include rough and both hot and cold press surfaces. Rough texture indicates a paper that has an extra-rich textured surface that catches and holds tiny pools of watercolor applied in a liquid state. Less common than hot or cold press, rough surfaces are offered with less frequency. Hot press is a designation used to categorize a very smooth, pressed finished. Cold press indicates a medium textured surface, which offers interesting, random texture for the watercolor to settle into. The industry offers numerical designations to help decipher the myriad of choices. Practice weight is usually around 90 lb. and can be either cold press or hot press, depending on the manufacturer. It is often a great quality for less important work, perhaps studies or sketches with light washes, but it might buckle with heavy wetting or soaking. 90 lb. paper often includes two deckled sides and will stand up fairly well to reworking and paint removal. The second weight designation is 140 lb. paper. It is a heavier weight, considered a medium weight in watercolor applications, and is available in rough, hot or cold press finishes. This weight has excellent surface strength and random texture in all finishes except hot (smooth). This paper is easily torn by dampening along a line with a water-charged brush, allowed to rest and absorb, and then torn along that line. It is ideal for studies, field sketches and finished work. Although not as strong as 300 lb. or heavier paper, 140 lb. is a great all-around work weight that stands up well to reworking and paint removal. 300 lb. paper is the real workhorse of the watercolor paper lines. It is sturdy enough to soak in a sink or even the bathtub for even absorption of water in painting set-up preparation. It holds moisture during long painting sessions and is ideal for large-scale works or those for commissions or competition. Because of the heavy weight and four deckled edges, 300 lb. paper is the choice of most professionals, even for study work. There is no better weight for field work, because its structure, when well soaked, allows painting in outdoor conditions without excessive drying. And buckling is seldom a problem, even if the paper is not stretched. Those two factors alone make it very appealing. It also seems indestructible because of the abuse it can take without concern. Since every artist uses different pigments, mediums and application styles, there is no one paper that is tops for everyone. Look into some of the many surfaces, textures and colors. Speaking of variety, don't forget to check out the Watercolor Sampler pads and books offered by Strathmore. The packs are available in several sizes, in either tape or spiral binding. Strathmore also offers full sheets of 90 lb., 140 lb. and 300 lb. up to 22" x 30". Their glorious 300 lb. sheets come as large as 40" x 60", and their 140 lb. and 300 lb. also come in continuous rolls 51" wide and 11 yards in length. Anything is possible with these products. See your retailer and visit www.strathmoreartist.com. With the choices that stare back at you from the paper racks, it may seem daunting to decide which paper to use. Many beginning watercolorists do not give proper consideration and often opt for the least costly paper available. But when you consider the strength, versatility and surface finishes of really heavy watercolor paper, it might make more sense to buy the best and work smaller if finances are tight. The better the paper, the better the finished piece will look. Just like any "foundation," the choice in paper is essential to great presentation. Select the best you can and you will be happiest.

Airport ArtMany airports have art displays that give visitors a glimpse of the art of the area. Some airports have full gallery facilities and offer changing exhibits from area artists or from the corners of the world. Following are several airport descriptions and gallery experiences for you to watch for in your travels. --The Albany, NY, terminal opened in June of 1998. Exhibitions have been featured in the Albany International Airport Gallery - third floor of the main terminal - since that time. The Millay Colony of Artists, founded in 1973 and considered to be one of the most important artist communities in the country, had an exhibition in the terminal through the summer of this year. And it was not just any exhibition. Visual artists, writers and composers who were former Colony residents were juried for this show. Currently the Albany Airport Gallery features "Now You See It." This exhibition is an exploration of our fascination with magic, illusion and transformation, presented in collaboration with the Society of American Magicians. Featured are finely crafted artifacts and apparatus from the collection of Bob Connors that were used by conjurers, psychic mediums, fortune-tellers and magicians for more than a century. Video performances by magicians Vinny Grosso and David MacDonald animate the mystifying apparatus that surround them. Lithographic posters from the New York State Museum are stunning tributes to the drama of turn of the century theatrical magic. Woven among these curious and compelling objects are works of contemporary art. --The Phoenix (AZ) Sky Harbor International Airport has a full gallery space that has changing exhibits throughout the year. Featured in the past have been a major fiber show with many original, handmade quilts and artifacts from Grand Canyon exploration and history, including art and photography along with actual items from early treks along the Colorado River. The shows are varied, always offer something great to view, and offer a wonderful respite from the drain of traveling. --Miami (FL) International Airport has tons of fabulous art all around the terminal. Although no special gallery space is allotted, one has only to look around and see unique examples of work for public spaces. From the seven-ton "Sixteen Spokes," a huge metal sculpture of a "bicycle" of improbable proportions, to "A Walk on the Beach," a bronze, terrazzo and mother-of-pearl creation on the floor of Concourse "A," there is creativity at every turn. Also in Concourse A is "Harmonic Runway," which consists of glass panels, lighting, stainless steel, environmental sound/computer interaction and projections, and is a 180-foot interactive environment surrounding a moving walkway. Sunlight filtering through 132 vertical sheets of colored glass and a sound score based on South Florida's natural environment welcome visitors with an abstraction of color and sound. --Philadelphia (PA) International Airport has The Youth Art Gallery in terminal D/E. This is a showcase for and is dedicated to exhibiting two-dimensional work by young Philadelphia artists. What a great opportunity to see budding artists in a very public environment! --Vancouver (B.C.) International Airport offers a feast for the eyes. In addition to the native art, there are art display cases located throughout the airport that feature pieces by other well known and emerging B.C. artists. Stocked with pieces from various art galleries in Vancouver and around the province, the display cases offer viewers a rotating variety of art from numerous disciplines. The art on display is available for sale to the public. --San Diego (CA) International Airport, administered by The Port of San Diego, has opened an art gallery for the traveling public, which will host exhibitions on a rotating basis throughout the year focusing on local artists and organizations. Passengers traversing the long corridor on the second floor between Terminal 2 East and West can view rotating exhibits. --Art and architectural beauty are also a major focus at the Tucson (AZ) International Airport thanks to its spacious "barrel vault" design and Tucson Airport Authority's growing commitment to display work by community artists throughout the expanded facilities. Airport users began experiencing the expanded space - and new displays of art - when the completed midsection of the terminal opened in October 2003. Airport users are greeted by one of the integrated art opportunities almost immediately upon entering the building on the upper level. Two large, square pillars sit on either side of the new central lobby, providing space that has been turned into a two-dimensional art display. A "link" connecting the east side of the terminal to the adjacent rental car complex has also been designed to provide several opportunities for art that will be incorporated into the structure. These are but a few of the great art opportunities in airports throughout North America. As more facilities adopt the idea that art enriches the environment, more gallery and art display areas should be created. So keep those eyes open because you never know where and when you might see wonderful art!

Canvas holiday tree skirts are a fun project for any age artist, whether creating a skirt for personal use or to give as a gift. Imagine the joy of the recipient when the package contains a hand-painted original! You can make that happen or you can create a tree skirt that will soon become a family heirloom.
Canvas is a durable, flexible and very versatile art substrate, whether you are creating a painting, a placemat or, in this case, a tree skirt. If you have ever made or thought of making a floor cloth, this project is very similar. The customary shape for a tree skirt is round, but if you prefer, you can create one that is square, rectangle, oval or even star-shaped.
The materials you will need include the following: Canvas in a width to accommodate the size of your skirt with allowances for hem; acrylic paints and brushes; white glue and a brush; rubber mallet (optional); braid trim (optional), and spray sealer (optional). Airbrush work and stenciling also make great designs for a tree skirt.
Enlarge your chosen design to maximize the width of canvas. Allow one inch extra all around the parameter to turn under for a hem. The hem is made by carefully folding under the one-inch margin. Apply glue to the underside of the turned area and press firmly to secure and hold or use the rubber mallet to flatten the hem, and then glue it down.
At the same time you are creating the hem, you will want to make the trunk entry slit and trunk hole in the skirt. Do this by first finding the center of the shape. Cut a hole approximately four inches in diameter, and cut slits around the hole and fold under one inch around the trunk circle. Cut the entry slit from the hem to the trunk opening and turn that under too. (Or you can eliminate this entire procedure. Fredrix Artist Canvas offers a Christmas tree skirt made of heavy cotton duck. The 36" circle is precut to fit around a tree base, is double acrylic primed on one side, the back is sized to lay flat, and it's ready to be painted.
Select from many painting methods, each of which will help you create an original, beautiful tree skirt. Stencils are simple to use and come in many holiday patterns and require very little experience to create lovely designs. Airbrush work, including the use of templates or original stencils you create, can help you make a dazzling tree skirt. Metallic colors and a smattering of glitter over the still moist paint will add lots of drama to your design. But, by far, the most common way to decorate a canvas tree skirt is to use brushwork and acrylic paints. Create snow scenes, holiday garlands with holly and berries, ornaments or whatever means Christmas to you.
Once you have completed the skirt and allowed it to completely dry, spray a coating of clear sealer over the surface to protect your work and help it withstand the rigors of use. For a final bit of embellishment, you might want to sew or glue braid around the outside edges.
Store the skirt, not by folding which might break the painted surface, but by rolling over a print tube or large dowel. Cover with cloth, rather than plastic, and store upright in a closet away from moisture. When handled with care, the skirt will last for decades.

From the familiar boxes of rainbow colors to the high-end permanent, lightfast instruments to the funky air blast markers, there is a marker for everyone. We can select markers that are designed to bleed with fluid contact and broad line or fine line pens that once stroked on almost any surface are permanent, plus everything in between. We have the opportunity to spend a little and get a lot for colors so rich they look like jewels, darks, brights and lights; every spectrum is available.
Sketching markers for youngsters include a very appealing type that not only gives rich colors, but neat fragrances as well. Imagine purple grape scented, red cherry scented, yellow lemon scented and so on. The smell alone is worth using them whether you are a beginner or an old hand looking for a new twist on creativity. These colors are most often water-based, non-toxic and safe for even the youngest artist.
Another product that is water-soluble is the watercolor marker. When applied to watercolor paper, it remains water-soluble and easily manipulated for long periods of time. One has only to lay on a light wash of water and the sharp lines soften and spread. Lots of fun and creative possibilities for a low cost! So easy to transport and use, these should be in every artist's kit.
Fabric markers, permanent and washfast, are an easy way to paint on fabric. Whether fitted with a stiff felt tip or a flexible brush tip, they provide a special painterly method to decorate any fabric item. Wearables, totes, shoes, belts, hats--the sky is the limit. Fabric markers come is sets of colors, and usually basic tones are included in one set for basic studies. Decorating colors give the addition of bright, vibrant and glowing colors such as flesh and crimson. Even fluorescent colors like hot pink, orange, violet and green come packaged for those special costume or home decor projects.
Body art is so popular that there is a set of markers designed just for that purpose. Washable "tattoo" markers can be used to draw and design on your skin. Their bright colors go on smoothly and wash off easily with soap and water, baby oil or cold cream. Imagine the possibilities!
One special line of markers is especially useful to artists who frame their works in wood frames. There is a complete set of wood-toned markers to cover scratches on wood, making the once noticeable mark seem to disappear. Tones can be overlaid to make even more colors. These are great for furniture nicks and cabinet scrapes, too.
Woodcraft markers are permanent, opaque paint colors in convenient marker form. What could be easier? Because there are no brushes to control, there is less chance of mistakes, and you can even over-paint when an error occurs with no bleed-through of the first color. Outlining is consistent, while lettering, dotting, and flat areas all go on evenly without brush marks or smudges. For best results, wood should be sealed prior to using these markers.
Markers are a great part of any artist's supplies, from beginner to professional, and they will make great stocking stuffers this holiday season!

The holidays are once again upon us, and the most appreciated gift for an artist is something from an art supply store--and an airbrush can make an excellent gift. If you wish to purchase one or if you have put one on your personal wish list, there are several things to consider beforehand: age of the user, his or her degree of artistic experience, the intended application, and budget.
If the recipient is young or inexperienced, it's good to begin with the least expensive airbrush system available. This system, normally available in a complete kit, consists of a single action, external or internal mix airbrush that is operated by the propellant can included. This propellant is the air source that allows the user to experience airbrushing and become familiar with the technique at minimum expense. If the recipient is an adult, then a dual action, more sophisticated airbrush is recommended. This can also be operated by a propellant can and is available in a complete kit. The self-contained kits come with your choice of airbrush, hose, can of propellant with a regulator and possibly other accessories, thus giving you everything required to get started immediately. Note that the propellant may last for a few projects, so it's good to have extra cans on hand.
Dual action, internal mix airbrushes come in a variety of configurations--gravity feed (with a color cup at the top of the airbrush), bottom feed (with a jar that attaches to the bottom), and side feed (with a small color cup attached to the side). These configurations lend themselves to different applications. If the recipient is an experienced artist set in his/her technique but is an airbrush novice, the application should be considered when choosing the style of airbrush.
A watercolorist who usually works small would likely use a gravity feed airbrush where the paint reservoir holds a small amount of paint and it's easy to change colors. This is also ideal for a nail technician, cake decorator, taxidermist, hobbyist or craftsperson, tattoo artist or anyone working with small amounts of color. An acrylic painter working on large canvases would prefer a bottom-feed airbrush with large jar for the convenient spraying of large areas. A T-shirt painter uses an airbrush adapted to jars so that he can lay out his palette in a variety of jars and quickly plug them into the airbrush when a new color is required. Bottom feed airbrushes are also good for custom automotive painters.
The side-feed airbrush, the original style made, can be adapted to a small color cup or a side-feed jar, thus making it suitable for all applications, but specifically for illustration.
Propellant cans are one way of providing air to the airbrush, but professionals use air compressors and CO2 tanks. CO2 tanks are rented, while compressors are purchased. The artist must add a high quality, professional regulator available at art supply stores to a CO2 tank. Compressors come in a multitude of styles that are either diaphragm or piston operated. Diaphragm compressors are smaller and less expensive, but piston-operated compressors are powerful and more expensive. The biggest cost to outfitting an artist for airbrush technique in a professional manner is the compressor. And the more expensive the compressor, the more "bells and whistles" you'll get.
The beginning airbrusher will need an airbrush, air hose, air source, airbrush colors for practice, paper to practice on and table easel/backing board for a work surface. Your local retailer will be more than happy to assist you in making the proper selection of equipment and materials. For the person who is accomplished and set in his/her ways, a gift certificate from a favorite art supply store is the way to go.
