Open Space Arts at Stonebridge Calendar Mar-Jun 2023

Tentative art event list at Open Space Arts because as everyone knows, often 'the best laid plans of mice and men, often go astray'. So check with the contact person or at the gallery for the latest information. 

Artists need lead time to create new art of course. An idea for artwork must be formed, then created, then cured. It all can take a LOT of time especially depending on the medium so please check the upcoming art shows so you can prepare.

Post 302: Tips To Photograph Your Art For Jury Submission

Tips To Photograph Your Art For Jury Submission

By Leah Boynton 

I’d like to begin by reassuring you that you don’t need a fancy camera to get a great shot of your artwork. In fact using a phone camera has its own benefits and it’s convenient (more on that in a bit). Also, don’t be afraid to take more than one photo. It may take a little bit of time and patience to get a decent shot, but it’s totally achievable!

Photography Tips

Tip 1 : Photograph your artwork before it’s framed, or take it out of the frame. The glass from the frame can cause a lot of glare issues and be disruptive to viewing your art.

If you can’t avoid this and need to take a photo once your artwork is framed, try stepping a bit to the side of your photo and see if that reduces some of the glare. Don’t be afraid to move around! This may mean your photo isn’t as straight on, that’s okay. You can also try cropping it a bit afterwards if needed.

Tip 2 : Take a photo of your artwork in natural light. Using lamps and overhead lights will add glares and can make the colors of your artwork look “off” (by making the colors seem more yellow or more blue depending on your overhead light source).

Try taking photos in a room well lit by natural window light. Another option would be to take your artwork outside on an overcast day or in the early morning/evening when the sun isn’t too high in the sky. If you are taking your artwork outside, make sure it isn’t overly windy because you don’t want your art to blow around or have dirt/leaves end up on your artwork.

Tip 3 : When taking photos of your artwork (not applicable to 3d art), lay your artwork on a flat surface and take the photo from above. Try to match the corners of your artwork to the corners of the camera frame, eliminating as much excess background as possible.

This is also where having your phone camera can come in handy. A lot of phones (though not all) have a “leveler” in the camera settings when shooting from above. You may have to go into your settings to find this. But a small dot should appear in the center of screen and a circle that is near it (and moves when you move). When the camera is held leveled to the ground, the circle should fit around the dot near perfectly. This helps because if you need to crop it later, your lines are already straight and you shouldn’t have to worry about cropping out part of your canvas.

Tip 4 : Sometimes having a bit of background showing is inevitable, especially with 3d pieces. If you have a background showing, make sure it is solid white or solid black. Cardstock, black material (especially velvet because it absorbs light), or solid backdrops (something I’d suggest looking into for sculpture pieces) you can order on Amazon for fairly cheap are all great options. Make sure that your background is solid so it isn’t distracting (example- no paper towels, counter tops, fabric with patterns).

Tip 5 : While there are editing tools, aside from a slight crop, try to stay away from or limit editing your photo too much. By playing with exposure, saturation, contrast, etc, you run the risk of altering your artworks appearance too much from what it truly looks like. Instead try changing the location of the photoshoot or the angle from which you are taking the photo for better results.

Post 301: Feb 2023 - What's on Your Easel?

Feb 2023 - What's on Your Easel?

Most artists love to show off what they do, even if its in its early stages - and people like to see the 'behind the scenes' story of how a piece of art comes to be. Approximately monthly, I ask the Prince William Art Society (PWAS) members, "What's on your easel right now?" Here are some samples of their works in progress.

Artwork In Progress (AWIP) from PWAS

PWAS has members that are painters, photographers, digital artists, mixed media and more, so not every work is on an easel. So the better question is, "What are you (as an artist) working on right now?" And actually the answer to that could be what they are actually painting, photoshopping, quilling, manipulating, pouring, throwing, carving, and whatever other fine art VERB I can throw at it.

Let's see who answered the question this time for their AWIPs...

Michael Kent

Up in smoke. Any resemblance between this and anything is pure.

Susan Furr 

Charcoal and Chalk

Donna Liguria 

"Fly Like an Eagle" and "Black Bird", in acrylic, both are 6x6 - additions to a bird series I started last year.

Elena Jochum

8x10, commission, watercolor on paper

Saul Roldan

Our Daily Bread, oil

Sue Rosenbaum

I’m a mixed media collage artist and I’ve been working on some new backgrounds. 7-10 layers of acrylic paint, brayered onto 8.5 x 5.5 watercolor paper. One will become a birthday card for my husband. The others will become my next collage series by adding vintage papers, stamping, ink and stencils. I’ll call them “peeling back the layers”, for now.

David Dillon

5 x 7 acrylic on canvas board. Working title is Red Strap 

Otis Stanley

Washboard Blues, Acrylic 16 x 20

Evelyn Chatters

The name of this painting is Survival. It is inspired by a novel entitled July's people by Nadine Gordimer. Vividly describes how the servant in South Africa has to save his masters from the uprising during the apartheid era.

Fatima Farzana

Title: Views of the Rickshaw Girl Size: 36x48 Medium: Acrylic

 

Kelly Haneklau

A commissioned abstract realism acrylic piece for a customer (painted after a photo they took)

Sheri Herrick 

While I'm in FL, I'm experimenting with zentangling on flower photos I've taken at various Botanical gardens in my travels-thinking ahead to May flowers at OSA.  This is Lotus taken in India.

Elizabeth Stathis

“The Mastro's”. 11 X 14 Aquarelle Arches Watercolor Block,140lb Cold pressed, Kuretake Pan Paints, and Windsor & Newton Watercolor Pans, using a Princeton Watercolor rigger brush. WIP of what is to be just one part of an article that will be published in a local magazine entitled, “The Lovely Front Doors of Lake Manassas’.

Mark Murphy

I'm working on watercolor of firefighters in action.  I found a very old block of watercolor paper with no markings (cover was missing).  It looks like Arches but it seems to be even less absorbent than hot pressed, perhaps due to its age.  It is almost like working on plastic "paper" (Yupo).  It has been quite the challenge.

Zorri Berrios

Another rendition of La Gioconda.

 

Thank you to all the Prince William Art Society members that add to our blog! Great to see what you guys have coming up on the radar!

Post 299: Great Find - Etsy Videos

Great Find - Etsy Videos

Do you have an Etsy shop? If yes, you KNOW it takes work, work and more work. If you have one, drop your Etsy link in the comments! If you don't have one, have you been thinking about it?

 

Donna Liguria Art Etsy Home Page 2023 - @DonnaLiguriaArt

https://www.etsy.com/shop/DonnaLiguriaArt

Etsy Videos, Tips and Advice

Before you get started on Etsy, do a lot of research. Repeat, a LOT of research. And if you already have an Etsy shop, continue to do some research on optimizing your Etsy site. You cannot build it and leave it, this is not Field of Dreams and "if you build it, they will come". Etsy takes work. And Etsy means having a shipping station (unless you have art products that are fulfilled by a Production Partner [site]). Etsy becomes a part of your weekly, if not daily schedule to a degree.

When I have "Great Find Videos", I will try to give you a list of the highlighted points in the video as well to help you. Because this Great Find is such a large topic, I found several videos with some great tips and advice you will find useful. Because Artistry Spin is the Prince William Art Society's art blog, I keep in mind that we are creating art on various surfaces and art prints - but there are key things that are important no matter what your Etsy shop sells.

1. Good Title - this is NOT the title of your artwork - they are keywords to FIND your Etsy listing. This is important, it is also not the size, probably not the medium nor your name (or product subject's name) unless you are well-known.
2. Good Images - GREAT product pictures are KEY as well as video(s) about you, how you do your art, and/or how you did that art piece.
1. Natural Lighting
2. Background - trendy, clean, natural
3. Clear Images
4. Edit Images
   
3. Good Description - using those SEO keywords and phrases
4. Good Tags - using SEO keywords and phrases (limited characters)
5. Shipping Station - decide if you will ship international or national. Decide how large your artwork will be that you will ship. PRICE your artwork so that you cover ALL of those costs. Get the equipment and supplies you need to take care of shipping - and that is ALL part of the costs, including the labels.
1. Shipping Carrier
2. Shipping Profiles
3. Packing Materials - source, in stock?
4. Free Shipping if possible
5. Weight scale?

    Title, Tags (13), Description, Categories, and Attributes. Sale Samurai (fee).

    b. Use title that is easy to read, separate by comma, line, or dash

    c. Start your listing description with a hook. Spark emotion, sentiment

    d. Use long-tail Keywords, phrase with multiple word descriptor

3. Market for Momentum. Collaborations, influencers, other sellers, partner with.

    a. identify potential collaborators within your niche, similar target audience, micro influencers. Look for a seller whose product complements yours.

    b. Reach out to potential collaborators.

I am learning as I go too. My Etsy Shop is at https://etsy.me/3xqNIqL - which may give you and I some free listings if you use it. Pictures are a thorn in my side but I am working on it! There are a LOT of other Etsy videos out there and you may like those better - you will probably learn a new angle from any of them.

Again, do you have an Etsy shop? Drop your link in the comments.
