Oil Paintings For Everyone

Have you ever wondered why Hand Painted Art is so expensive?

Does it annoy you that it is only the so called elite and wealthy that seem to be able to afford real art?

Is the only art you own just prints or poor imitations?

Is there another way?

There is a new revolution sweeping the art world and it will turn all the stereo types about art on their head and remove a lot of the secrets about why the methods and madness in the art world are the way they are.

The world is going through a phenomenal power and socio-economic shift whereby in the very new future, China and India are going to emerge as the new global superpowers. This means they will be the primary dictators of world affairs, culture and where the greatest business opportunities will present themselves. Now without going into some sort of rant about the pros and cons of this seismic shift in the status quo which is the US filling this role, this does present an interesting opportunity when it comes to art. You can get in early and both enjoy some of the greatest masterpieces the world will come to know in the coming years and also be making sound financial decisions at the same.

There are tremendous amount of talented artists particularly in China, all desperate to get both their name and their creations out into the global arena. To visit with these artists and to observe their hand crafted masterpieces is to realise that you are the presence of artistic genius as if you were lucky enough to stumble upon a Beethoven sitting at the piano at the first time. Previously there has never been a convenient nor practical method, short of travelling to China and visiting these undiscovered wonders at their studios or market stalls, to accessing this art for yourself.

However there are now options and systems which have been created to allow people the world over to access these creations and adorne their homes with oil paintings and the like making family members and friends crazy with jealousy. Paintings covering an entire wall, hand painted to the finest detail, which Westerners assume would cost a minimum of thousands of dollars, are now filling people’s homes who earn nothing more than minimum wage. What is more people are having life size paintings of themselves, possibly in front of a famous monuments like the Taj Mahal, commissioned and painted for them. They may be taken from a photo from a recent holiday and suddenly brought to life by their very own Van Gogh or Da Vinci.

To get a sneak preview at one of the new wave of organisations bringing these oil paintings to everbody’s lounge room, go to http://www.jiveexchange.com. There you will find oil paintings that are the first and newest selections of this new Asian revolution that will sweep the world in decades to come. It may just be that Art may be the newest hobby toy of the masses, finally accessible to everybody who so desires it. Art is very personal and what one may find a wonder, another might deem hideous but that is essentially the beauty of paintings as like music it leaves an impression on the person long after it is has left their active stream of consciousness.

Till Next Time…

Each day I go to my studio full of joy; in the evening when obliged to stop because of darkness I can scarcely wait for the next morning to come… if I cannot give myself to my dear painting I am miserable - William-Adolphe Bouguereau.

Bouguereau’s style of working was not less than the traditional one. He made the detailed pencil studies and he prepared primary oil sketches of his paintings before going on to a final canvass. His method of painting helped him in creating eye-catching rendering of human forms. His paintings of nude females were much benefited due to his style of functioning.

Though preferred both realistic and mythological themes for depiction of his art, he presented the subjects with newer and fresh interpretations of the classical subjects he painted. Very often he chose the nude female bodies as his subjects, but he emphasized showing art with his photo-realistic style of painting. This made his painting more popular. His clients commissioned him generously. 

Like most of the other master artists, Bouguereau had also painted the Goddess of Love, Venus. His painting The Birth of Venus is one of the most famous paintings by him. In addition to showing the birth of Venus, the Goddess is shown to be travelling in a shell, over the water of sea. In this painting, he had shown his natural instinct and the technical knowledge of contours of nude female body. A human body, especially a female nude, attracts the viewers’ eyes by the balanced proportions. Bouguereau had acquired such an artistic inspiration from the artists of sixteenth century.
