Elenore Abbott, The Shoes That Were Danced to Pieces, Fairy Tale, Fantasy art, Girls room decor, gift for girls, 8x10" canvas art print This art print was taken from a vintage painting, print, postcard or digital source. It is in the public domain in the US because the copyrights (if any) have expired. All quoted shipping costs are USA only. NOTE: Our prints are taken from an antique/vintage paintings, greeting cards, post cards etc.. Much of the time, these were originally printed on a soft and porous paper, which softened the images. They didn't have the technology back then to photo-shop and fix these images. That is why I chose to reproduce only antique art in it's original content (no photo-shop). I love the old school art. These are also paintings and drawings, and so the styles vary. The papers we use today, have special coatings so that they attract the inks or dyes well, and stop much of the seeping of the inks. Our new technologies print exactly what is on the scan of the original image. If you purchase canvas, it is made of cotton, and even though it also has this special coating, it is textured, and softens the look of the final result. It is archival, and of the highest quality, but is best for paintings since they were mostly created on artist canvas. It is important to note that if you are buying on your phone or tablet, the images you see are only tiny thumbnails, and so you can't really see the detail in the scan on the listing. If you can look on a computer, you can then see the depth and detail of the image you want. Artwork is not created equal, and sometimes there are clear and distinct lines, and other times the style is less detailed. Lastly, Colors will vary slightly, due to the difference in your monitor settings. Please zoom in on the image to see the detail. I will ship to your country, via first class intl. USPS, but please contact me for a quote before you buy. All art prints are custom designed to fit into a standard, modern frame. The openings on these frames are smaller than the listed size. Your print will be slightly larger than the opening. You can carefully trim it to fit your frame, and pop it in, with or without a mat. Each print is made as it is ordered. Please convo me if you need a specific size. I use real cotton artist's canvas, and the newest technology to enlarge the images, pixel x pixel. There is no stretching or skewing, Cotton canvas is textured in tiny squares, and produces a soft finish like a painting. Since it is fabric, it grabs the color for an extraordinary presentation. I use archival canvas, and special dyes to print each image. They will last 100 years under normal circumstances. Your monitor settings will vary from mine, so colors may look different to you than they really are. Color match technology produces exact colors to the image file used. Satin canvas is also textured, but it not as dense. It has a semi-gloss light and moisture proof finish. It is great for posters, too. NO stretching or mounting is needed. No need for expensive, custom framing. I use special, secure packing materials, to insure that your item arrives safely. I have been collecting and selling art prints for many years. I may have just what you are searching for. Just ask, and I will create a special listing, just for you. Thank you for your interest. Carol@ just4allkids [!at] yahoo.com

No notebook is safe from abstract doodling. Yet we all could learn a thing or two from these sketches by Sophie Roach.
Anton Marrast plays with photographs he's taken himself and edits them together to create his digital art.
Artist Russ Mills (previously) describes his chaotic, illustrated portraits as being ruled by the absurd. Bright bursts of color, paint splatters, and doodles scrawl across the canvas and surround single figures with a mishmash of markings. “I try to convey the ridiculousness of the world we all share in a way that only I really relate to,” he tells Colossal. Currently based near Brighton, Mills balances analog and digital techniques in his practice. More
No notebook is safe from abstract doodling. Yet we all could learn a thing or two from these sketches by Sophie Roach.
You know the saying, “Don’t judge a book by its cover?” The same rule can be changed into “Don’t judge a person by its ink.” Getting some body art inked is probably one of the best ways for self-expression—be it a drawing in remembrance of your past beliefs, shenanigans or a minimal tattoo filled with deep meanings. No tattoo design is meaningless or ugly because there’s always something bigger behind it. At least to the person who chose the unique tattoo, that is.
Hello everyone! It's Megan from Makewells here again and today I'm excited to share a glimpse into my personal sketchbook! I'm currently working through a very daunting 365 project - meaning, every day for 365 days I complete and post (to instagram) a page in my sketchbook. This project has been so rewarding so far, and as I write this, I'm currently on day 150! Today I'm going to share some of the approaches I take to filling up a new page with art each day. These aren't process and supply tips, as much as they are just little clues into how my brain works each day when I work through a page. One thing I love to do, is layer materials. I often get asked what materials I use, and to be honest, I tend to use everything. Really, I use a lot of different supplies. Some of my favorite supplies are: Uniball Signo Gel Pens, Dr. Ph Martin's Watercolors, Holbein Acryla Gouache paints, Golden Fluid acrylics and high flow acrylics, Prismacolor colored pencils, micron pens, sharpies, and lot's of awesome, cheap acrylic craft paints. There is no better way to figure out how a material will work on top of (or beneath) another than by just experimenting. For me, it's always trial and error. A lot of times, when a page has a lot of layers, it's actually because there were a lot of "errors" that came before! Happy accidents are my way of saying "Eww, I don't like that" and painting over it. By experimenting with the materials, I'm able to discover things first hand and treat each page in my sketchbook as a chance to learn something new. Another approach I often take is to really experiment with color: Some days pick random colors (as well as black and white) and challenge myself to make them work together. Or, I'll put unexpected colors in a subject matter (below: the green in the pug's face and violet in the cat's fur). Other days I think of colors that contrast each other and use those. Just like my first approach, it's all about trying things when it comes to my sketchbook. It's a place to explore and discover! I also love exploring similar themes in my book: If I stumble on a design or floral pattern that I love, I may repeat that for a few days, trying different colors and materials. Often times, when I'm "stuck" getting started on that day's page, I'll flip through my own book for inspiration. The similar themes building in my daily pages are : abstract floral designs, animals, fun phrases, and... more flowers :) Some days I try something and it just doesn't work. But I use that for future reference. It's good to push yourself to try new things, but if a subject matter or material isn't enjoyable to you, then don't force it! Another approach I take is to incorporate patterns: Polka dots, dashes, plus signs, and any other little bit of repeated mark. Sometimes I add patterns in the background only, while other times I let them appear in my subject matter. And lastly, I try to take risks. A self portrait? Why not. That crazy flamingo (above) was a huge step away from what I had been doing previously in my book. But it led to a few more pages of experimenting with that style, using the bold black lines and messy brush strokes. I hope this helps give a little insight into how I approach my sketchbook and inspires you to see your own sketchbook as a place to experiment and play! If I had to sum it up in one way, it'd be this: Thanks for having me on Alisa's blog! You can follow my progress on instagram under #makewells365.
