This article will cover travel tips.</p> <p>First, I've got to thank Michelle and Jasmine for their hospitality and Michelle for inviting me. </p> <p>GyeongJu Sketch Festa is a two-day sketching event with workshops organised by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/uskgyeongju/?hl=en">USk GyeongJu</a> for South Korean residents. The main language for communication is Korean. This is unlike the <a href="https://www.parkablogs.com/tags/asialink-sketchwalk">AsiaLink Sketchwalks</a> which are for international sketchers and the language is English. I was in GyeongJu to teach with the help of a translator. </p> <p>At the time of writing, 10,000 won is around SGD 10.33 (USD 7.66).</p> <h3>Travel by plane</h3> <p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyeongju">GyeongJu</a> is a coastal city in the far southeastern corner of North Gyeongsang Province in South Korea. The city is about 2 hours away from Seoul by train and 4 hours by bus.</p> <p>The two options to get to GyeongJu are </p> <ul> <li>Fly to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incheon_International_Airport">Incheon International Airport</a> in Seoul and transfer to KTX train (2hr) or bus (4hr)</li> <li>Fly to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gimhae_International_Airport">Gimhae International Airport</a> in Busan and transfer to bus (1hr)</li> </ul> <p>The only airline that flies non-stop to Busan from Singapore is <a href="https://www.jejuair.net">Jeju Air</a>. </p> <p>Since my wife and I wanted to visit Seoul as well, we book our flight to Seoul. We flew with <a href="https://flyasiana.com">Asiana Airlines</a> and paid SGD 873 per person. The plane ticket could cost lower if you book earlier.</p> <h3>Transfer by train from Seoul to GyeongJu</h3> <p><img src="https://www.parkablogs.com/sites/default/files/2023/20230529-Seoul-Metro.jpg" width="500" /><br /> After landing at Incheon International Airport, you should take either the 40-min <b>AREX Airport Express Train</b> (9,500 won) or the 60-min <b>All Stop Train</b> (up to 4,500 won) to Seoul Station.</p> <p>From Seoul (<b>Seoul Station</b>) to GyeongJu (<b>SingYeongJu Station</b>), we took the <b>KTX train</b> with a <b>2 hr 8 min</b> journey time.</p> <p>There are huge wayfinding signs everywhere so it is quite impossible to get lost when transferring from plane to train at the airport, and from train to train at Seoul Station. </p> <p><img src="https://www.parkablogs.com/sites/default/files/2023/seoul-station-arex-train.jpg" width="500" /><br /> After arriving from train (above) at Seoul Station, you should go into the big hall and that's where you have access to the ticket booth, shops, restaurants, buses, trains and tracks. </p> <p>The official place to book the KTX train tickets is from <a href="https://www.letskorail.com">Letskorail</a>. However, I wasn't able to input my credit card details and had to buy the tickets at the ticket booth in Seoul Station. I paid <b>49,300 won</b> for the Economy Class ticket and it was comfortable enough so getting First Class tickets is probably not necessary.</p> <p>Since I can't book the ticket in advance, I can't talk much about booking and collecting the tickets (probably at the ticket booth too).</p> <p>Anyway, you can use the Letskorail website to check the availability seats. There's a train leaving each hour from 5am to 9pm.</p> <p><b>In GyeongJu</b><br /> After we reached SingYeongJu Station in GyeongJu, we met up with Michelle and Jasmine who brought us to my workshop location and <a href="https://www.thek-hotel.co.kr">The K Hotel GyeongJu</a> (<a href="https://goo.gl/maps/eBdB13Pk8QFaZfrt7">map</a>). </p> <h3>Transfer by bus from Seoul to GyeongJu</h3> <p>I did not take the bus but my friend <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@AlvinMarkArt/videos">Alvin Mark Tan</a> did. </p> <iframe width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/nwGh5TNoFa8" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><p>In this video, Alvin compares the Express Bus and KTX Train.</p> <p>According to him, the bus ticket booth is just outside the Arrival Hall at Incheon International Airport. The only two timings available for the bus rides are <b>8:50am</b> and <b>4pm</b>. If you want to take the bus, your flight must obviously land earlier with enough time for custom clearance and a quick trip to the toilet. </p> <p>The bus ticket he bought in 2022 cost <b>39,900 won</b>. The trip takes slightly <b>over 3 hours</b>. </p> <p>So here are the differences in cost and journey time:</p> <ul> <li>Incheon Airport to Seoul Station via AREX train, then KTX train to SingYeongJu Station - 2hr 48 min, 59,100 won</li> <li>Incheon Airport to Seoul Station via All Stop train, then KTX train to SingYeongJu Station - 3 hr 8 min, 54,100 won</li> <li>Incheon Airport to GyeongJu via Express Bus - 3hr+, 39,900 won won</li> </ul> <p>If you want to visit Seoul, then you should go to Seoul Station. The travel time for train vs bus isn't too different except there's a cost savings of at least 14,000 won with the bus ride, but the train has toilets on board.</p> <h3>GyeongJu</h3> <p>Most of my trip was spent in Seoul and unfortunately I didn't have much time to really explore GyeongJu except for the two days during the GyeongJu Sketch Festa.</p> <p><img src="https://www.parkablogs.com/sites/default/files/2023/korean-food-egg.jpg" width="500" /><br /> On the first night, we had some traditional Korean food. This is some egg with plant dish which is more spicy than it looks.</p> <p><img src="https://www.parkablogs.com/sites/default/files/2023/korean-food-appetizer.jpg" width="500" /><br /> And of course there are the kimchi appetizers.</p> <p><img src="https://www.parkablogs.com/sites/default/files/2023/korean-food-rice-bowl.jpg" width="500" /><br /> This is the popular Korean dish is called Bibimbap which translates directly to mixed rice. You're supposed to mix the eggs, vegetables, meat and rice together and eat. This is quite different in Singapore where the dishes are separated even if they are all on the same plate.</p> <p><img src="https://www.parkablogs.com/sites/default/files/2023/hwangnyongwon.jpg" width="500" /><br /> Located just in front of our hotel is the <a href="http://www.hwangnyongwon.com">Hwanglyong-Won</a> which is, if I read correctly, used as a training centre and for conference. This is private property and is not accessible to the public. </p> <p><img src="https://www.parkablogs.com/sites/default/files/2023/gyeongju-houses.jpg" width="500" /><br /> There are many other scenic sights that I wasn't able to visit. And I really love all the architecture that I see. You can see traditional roofs used even at patrol stations and Starbucks. </p> <p>As for the GyeongJu Sketch Festa, it was so much fun. I have taken some videos but unfortunately I have no photos because it's difficult to switch from taking videos and photos. Anyway, the event was packed with so many sketchers and was definitely a total success. It's great to see so many people come together to sketch and make friends. </p> <p>Last thing I want to talk about is weather. According to weather reports, temperature in GyeongJu range from 15 degrees at night to 27 degrees in the afternoon, at least for late May, early June which is spring time. As someone coming from Singapore where it's always hot and humid, I found GyeongJu to be hotter than I expected, but thankfully not humid. So no sweater or jacket is needed. This applies to Seoul as well.</p> <p><img src="https://www.parkablogs.com/sites/default/files/2023/gyeongju-workshop-bts.jpeg" width="500" /><br /> In the next article, I will share my workshop teaching experience at the GyeongJu Sketch Festa.</p> </div></div></div><section class="field field-name-taxonomy-vocabulary-1 field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above view-mode-fulltext clearfix"> <h2 class="field-label">Tags:&nbsp;</h2> <ul class="field-items"> <li class="field-item even"> <a href="/tags/gyeongju">gyeongju</a> </li> <li class="field-item odd"> <a href="/tags/urban-sketching">urban sketching</a> </li> </ul> </section> “Seeds from the fruit of a tree that didn’t bloom” by Artist David Ullock https://www.booooooom.com/2023/06/09/artist-david-ullock/ BOOOOOOOM! – CREATE * INSPIRE * COMMUNITY * ART * DESIGN * MUSIC * FILM * PHOTO * PROJECTS urn:uuid:3df3594a-0293-e6f6-7152-88de2bf8a630 Fri, 09 Jun 2023 23:23:56 +0200 Artful Weekend June 10 – 11 https://www.theartleague.org/blog/2023/06/09/artful-weekend-june-10-11/ Blog – The Art League urn:uuid:34747371-a277-8b45-c060-7694f4323785 Fri, 09 Jun 2023 22:28:28 +0200 Welcome to Artful Weekend -our listing of area art exhibits and events- This weekend: June Landscape Exhibit, Dimensions Sculpture Exhibit, and Spirit of Life by Mike McSorley at the League; Brick City at the National Building Museum; Frank Stuart&#8217;s Nexus at The Phillips Collection; and Rose Jaffe: Embodied at  The Corner at Whitman-Walker. &#160; &#160; [&#8230;] <h2><em>Welcome to Artful Weekend</em></h2> <h3><em>-our listing of area art exhibits and events-</em></h3> <p><strong>This weekend: June <em>Landscape Exhibit</em></strong>, <strong><i>Dimensions</i> Sculpture Exhibit</strong>, and <em><strong>Spirit of Life</strong></em> by Mike McSorley at the League;<em><strong> Brick City </strong></em>at the National Building Museum; <strong><em>Frank Stuart&#8217;s Nexus</em></strong> at The Phillips Collection; and <strong>Rose Jaffe: <em>Embodied</em></strong> at  The Corner at Whitman-Walker.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>June <em>Landscape Exhibit</em></h3> <figure id="attachment_126769" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-126769" style="width: 800px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-126769 size-large" src="https://www.theartleague.org/wp-content/uploads/SantulliLandscape23-1536x1154-1-1024x769.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="601" srcset="https://www.theartleague.org/wp-content/uploads/SantulliLandscape23-1536x1154-1-1024x769.jpg 1024w, https://www.theartleague.org/wp-content/uploads/SantulliLandscape23-1536x1154-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.theartleague.org/wp-content/uploads/SantulliLandscape23-1536x1154-1-768x577.jpg 768w, https://www.theartleague.org/wp-content/uploads/SantulliLandscape23-1536x1154-1-600x451.jpg 600w, https://www.theartleague.org/wp-content/uploads/SantulliLandscape23-1536x1154-1.jpg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-126769" class="wp-caption-text">Morning at Yosemite by Liz Santulli</figcaption></figure> <p>For our annual <a href="https://www.theartleague.org/event/june-2023-landscape-exhibit/"><strong><em>Landscape</em> <em>Exhibit</em></strong></a> we invited League artists to submit works that capture a sense of place.

It&#8217;s easy to come to a place like this and shoot the arches and other well-known landmarks. I can recite ad nauseum the camera settings I might use while we sit around waiting for perfect light and re-create the same shot you&#8217;ll find on postcards as you head out of town. That&#8217;s not why I come here and certainly not why I choose to lead workshops here.</p> <p>Places like Moab, Astoria, and other significant locations around the country and the world are attractions for a reason, however— so I recommend people get those shots if they want them, of course. In these popular locations it&#8217;s much easier to find lodging and great food versus some remote and obscure spot on the map, so they make great places to hold these workshops. However there is so much more to be seen in the details, reflections, and abstracts to create new and unique one-of-a-kind images as well, and that&#8217;s where I like to focus my time and my teaching.</p> <p>Enjoy the video, and check out my upcoming workshop offerings!</p> <p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-16940" src="http://artwolfe.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/S1A7258-680x453.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="426" srcset="http://artwolfe.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/S1A7258-680x453.jpg 680w, http://artwolfe.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/S1A7258-300x200.jpg 300w, http://artwolfe.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/S1A7258-150x100.jpg 150w, http://artwolfe.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/S1A7258-768x512.jpg 768w, http://artwolfe.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/S1A7258-198x132.jpg 198w, http://artwolfe.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/S1A7258-750x500.jpg 750w, http://artwolfe.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/S1A7258.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></p> Through Metaphorical Illustrations, Owen Gent Unveils Difficult Psychological Experiences https://www.thisiscolossal.com/2023/06/owen-gent-illustrations/ Colossal urn:uuid:dc5c0c51-b66c-e003-7541-0c29c65ef2bc Fri, 09 Jun 2023 19:35:55 +0200 <p>For <a href="http://www.owengent.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Owen Gent</a>, texture and shadow are essential narrative tools.

I actually thought the sculptures in this book were sculpted with wood because of the title. But there's that Adobe logo on the cover and Adobe isn't really into traditional art. It turns out that this book was published by Allegorithmic, an Adobe company. </p> <p>This is a large-format 204-page paperback artbook with low-gloss paper. The book has both Chinese and English text.</p> <p>The 3D sculptures were created with either Adobe Substance 3D Painter and/or ZBrush. The creations are mostly creatures and you can definitely see strong influence from Chinese culture, such as the dragons, ornaments and the design language. </p> <p>The 3D sculptures are so detailed that each piece has me asking "how is this even possible?!". These are 3D artworks are breathtaking and will make you pause at every page. Zhelong Xu thinks of himself as a digital artisan and you can almost sense the pride in his work. </p> <p>The creature designs look so original and real, and are nothing like the generic creatures from video games.

A short <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7bPmVp4LRY&amp;t=44s" target="_blank" rel="noopener">documentary</a> by <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@processx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Process X</a> explores how the craft of carving the props by hand is kept alive by artisans like <a href="https://mitsue-yuya.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mitsue Nakamura</a>.</p> <p>Starting with a block of Japanese cypress, Nakamura chisels the round face, eyes, nose, and teeth. Coated with a lacquer traditionally derived from crushed seashells mixed with glue, the form is then dried before being pierced on each side with a hot awl to tie strings through. The artist mixes pigments by hand to add color to the features, including blackening the teeth in a practice known as <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohaguro" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>ohaguro</em></a>, a fashion that was popular in Japan during the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heian_period" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Heian</a> period.</p> <p>For some families and institutions, Noh carries a timeless and important legacy, and many historically significant and valuable masks, such as those made by the 15th-century <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noh_masks_of_the_Konparu_school" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Konparu school</a>, are preserved in collections. &#8220;The term &#8216;face like a Noh mask&#8217; is often used as a metaphor for expressionlessness, but the major characteristic of the world of Noh is that it expresses human feelings and inner thoughts rather than storytelling,&#8221; says Nakamura in a statement. &#8220;The better the mask is, the more the expression changes with a slight difference in angle.&#8221;</p> <p>Process X frequently goes behind the scenes with makers and artisans, including in this video documenting the making of <a href="https://www.thisiscolossal.com/2023/01/japanese-manhole-covers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">artistic manhole covers</a> in Japan.

+0200 <p>If you&#8217;ve walked along an ocean shoreline, chances are you&#8217;ve stumbled upon the crumpled, brownish-green tendrils of kelp washed up at high tide. Despite appearances, the otherworldly seaweed is not a plant but rather a type of algae. Leaf-like forms called blades soak up sunlight to photosynthesize, and gas-filled bladders hold the structures close to the surface. Underwater, they grow in elegantly swaying forests, providing nourishment and shelter to marine wildlife.

For <a href="https://www.rightplacetime.com/home" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Douglas Klug</a>, these graceful, undulating ecosystems provide endless inspiration and surprising interactions.</p> <p>Based in Santa Barbara, California, Klug is an avid scuba diver and photographer who focuses on submarine life, highlighting schools of fish and myriad textures as they interact in the rippling sunlight. Most of the kelp forests he explores are within <span style="color: #333333;">Channel Islands National Park near where he lives. &#8220;All my diving is within what is considered &#8216;recreational&#8217; limits at depths shallower than 130 feet. The water is cold, and the ocean has strong energy called surge, so the conditions can be challenging to work in,&#8221; he tells Colossal.</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone wp-image-231515 size-full" src="https://www.thisiscolossal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/51814175182_c8b16ef01a_k.jpg" alt="An underwater photo of kelp." width="2048" height="1365" srcset="https://www.thisiscolossal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/51814175182_c8b16ef01a_k.jpg 2048w, https://www.thisiscolossal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/51814175182_c8b16ef01a_k-640x427.jpg 640w, https://www.thisiscolossal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/51814175182_c8b16ef01a_k-960x640.jpg 960w, https://www.thisiscolossal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/51814175182_c8b16ef01a_k-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://www.thisiscolossal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/51814175182_c8b16ef01a_k-624x416.jpg 624w, https://www.thisiscolossal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/51814175182_c8b16ef01a_k-150x100.jpg 150w, https://www.thisiscolossal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/51814175182_c8b16ef01a_k-640x427@2x.jpg 1280w, https://www.thisiscolossal.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/51814175182_c8b16ef01a_k-960x640@2x.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px" /></p> <p><span style="color: #333333;">Klug pays attention to changes in the ecosystem, noting that &#8220;kelp forests themselves are living, thriving environments that can wax and wane with currents, water temperature, or other factors,&#8221; providing clues to the ocean&#8217;s health and the trickle-down effect for animals and humans that rely on its food sources. Not only is some of the seaweed edible, it provides safe haven and nurseries for fish, while large concentrations of the algae are powerful <a href="https://earth.org/kelp-forests-carbon-sequestration" target="_blank" rel="noopener">carbon sinks</a> able to sequester millions of pounds of carbon dioxide. Due to the effects of the climate crisis and human inference with fragile aquatic ecosystems, the forests are suffering.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #333333;">Klug shines a light on the marine world with the hope that viewers will gain understanding and appreciation for critical habitats. &#8220;I love shooting the kelp forests because it lets me highlight one of nature&#8217;s most important resources,&#8221; he says. &#8220;Kelp forests are important to all of us as they contribute to our world’s health and stability.&#8221; Along with other wildlife like seals, sea lions, and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nudibranch" target="_blank" rel="noopener">nudibranchs</a>—a group of particularly colorful, tiny molluscs—the ocean challenges the artist to find the right conditions for lighting and exciting encounters, and to be in the right place at the right time.</span></p> <p>Find more of Klug&#8217;s nature photography on his <a

Living between Amsterdam, Paris and the Mediterranean, &#8220;Snow&#8221; is the Dutch couple&#8217;s fourth publication. The series was shot over a period of 6 years and showcases the pleasure of winter spots and the cosmopolitan nature of European mountain villages. It also explores feelings of nostalgia and a sense of timelessness or that things have remained unchanged.</p> <p>&#8220;There’s nothing quite like the power of nature shown through snow: it creates this silence, softness but also brings out that playful, childlike side that never fully leaves us as adults.&#8221;</p> <p>Check out more images from &#8220;Snow&#8221; below!</p> <p><img

skip and jump into the energy-filled world of abstract artist Charlie French, whose extraordinary talent and unique perspective shine through his large-scale paintings. Influenced by the ever-changing seasons, French&#8217;s latest series, set to be revealed at our upcoming Summer Session in London, vividly captures the essence of the winter-spring-summer transition. The selected color palette provides a healthy bowl of optimism and escapism, transporting you to the seaside or vast floral fields. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In our sit-down Q&amp;A you’ll learn that French finds immense joy in the act of creating, while also channeling his energy towards charitable endeavors that uplift and support the neurodivergent community.

We’re beyond thrilled to be showcasing your work at The Other Art Fair. Please can you tell us a little bit about yourself and how you came to be an artist?</b></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">CF: I have always loved painting, and in my early 20s took classes and worked with art tutors in their studios. I began to paint everyday at home, and after a few years I told my family &#8220;<em>I am an artist. It’s my job. I call it art for dollars. I paint almost every day in my studio, and sell my art all over the world. I love what I do!!!</em>&#8220;</span></p> <p><b>We’d love to know about the series of work that you&#8217;ll be showing. Please can you tell us about the process and meaning behind these works?</b></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">CF: I have a skylight in my studio here in Camden Town. This past winter I would look up at the sky, and everything was very grey and rainy. It seemed like spring was taking a long time. Every day I chose the same color palette, and this series is based on waiting. Knowing spring is coming, but not yet. Maybe tomorrow? Maybe next week. Yes, it will come. And until then, we wait. It is a hopeful series &#8211; it is Almost Spring. Skies may be grey, but the flowers and colors are on their way. You just have to believe.</span></p> <p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-109571 size-full" src="https://canvas.saatchiart.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/image00004-scaled.jpeg" alt="" width="2004" height="2560" srcset="https://canvas.saatchiart.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/image00004-scaled.jpeg 2004w, https://canvas.saatchiart.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/image00004-235x300.jpeg 235w, https://canvas.saatchiart.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/image00004-391x500.jpeg 391w, https://canvas.saatchiart.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/image00004-768x981.jpeg 768w, https://canvas.saatchiart.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/image00004-1203x1536.jpeg 1203w, https://canvas.saatchiart.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/image00004-1604x2048.jpeg 1604w" sizes="(max-width: 2004px) 100vw, 2004px" /></p> <p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-109583 size-full" src="https://canvas.saatchiart.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/3E0B348F_EED5_42CE_8BF9_9A8064751259.jpeg" alt="" width="2498" height="2546" srcset="https://canvas.saatchiart.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/3E0B348F_EED5_42CE_8BF9_9A8064751259.jpeg 2498w, https://canvas.saatchiart.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/3E0B348F_EED5_42CE_8BF9_9A8064751259-294x300.jpeg 294w, https://canvas.saatchiart.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/3E0B348F_EED5_42CE_8BF9_9A8064751259-491x500.jpeg 491w, https://canvas.saatchiart.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/3E0B348F_EED5_42CE_8BF9_9A8064751259-768x783.jpeg 768w, https://canvas.saatchiart.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/3E0B348F_EED5_42CE_8BF9_9A8064751259-1507x1536.jpeg 1507w, https://canvas.saatchiart.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/3E0B348F_EED5_42CE_8BF9_9A8064751259-2009x2048.jpeg 2009w" sizes="(max-width: 2498px) 100vw, 2498px" /></p> <p>Above: <em>in the deep, dark fathoms.

Happy colors. When I feel happy and joyful, I do want to share that happiness with the world. And often I chose color to do that. But also the tools. The mark making can really show my joy: big scrapers, round brushes or even tiny brushes and palette knives. Sometimes I choose my colors and tools based on how I feel. And I want people to see that. And smile!</span></p> <p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-109574 size-full" src="https://canvas.saatchiart.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/image00003-1.jpeg" alt="" width="1680" height="2240" srcset="https://canvas.saatchiart.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/image00003-1.jpeg 1680w, https://canvas.saatchiart.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/image00003-1-225x300.jpeg 225w, https://canvas.saatchiart.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/image00003-1-375x500.jpeg 375w, https://canvas.saatchiart.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/image00003-1-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https://canvas.saatchiart.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/image00003-1-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https://canvas.saatchiart.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/image00003-1-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 1680px) 100vw, 1680px" /></p> <p><b>Finally, we’d love to hear about all the incredible charity work you’ve done through your creative career!

Charities that do that speak to me, and so I give. My art brings me so much happiness, I hope it helps others too.</span></p> Featured Artist Dimitrina Kutriansky https://www.artsyshark.com/2023/06/08/featured-artist-dimitrina-kutriansky/ Artsy Shark urn:uuid:714d98d6-a623-5b1d-7530-193f69aa0f5a Thu, 08 Jun 2023 13:00:35 +0200 <p>Realist oil painter Dimitrina Kutriansky presents a breathtaking collection of landscapes from her portfolio.</p> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.artsyshark.com/2023/06/08/featured-artist-dimitrina-kutriansky/">Featured Artist Dimitrina Kutriansky</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.artsyshark.com">Artsy Shark</a>.</p> Polartropica Invites You to Ride or Die in Life and Love https://www.kaltblut-magazine.com/polartropica-invites-you-to-ride-or-die-in-life-and-love/ KALTBLUT Magazine urn:uuid:31f608dd-7e33-eeed-caba-3068507a12b2 Thu, 08 Jun 2023 13:00:00 +0200 <p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-322265" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.kaltblut-magazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/RideorDie2-2.jpg?resize=900%2C900&#038;ssl=1" alt="" width="900" height="900" data-recalc-dims="1" /></p> <p><strong>Los Angeles-based Taiwanese/American creator, artist, songwriter, singer, and musician, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/polartropica/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Polartropica</a> has joined forces with Edgar Everyone to release </strong>&#8230;</p> Crazy deal for UGEE U1600 at $169 https://www.parkablogs.com/content/crazy-deal-ugee-u1600-169 Parka Blogs - Art books, art products urn:uuid:add14550-5311-1575-eb1f-e493b272aca0 Thu, 08 Jun 2023 11:06:45 +0200 <div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden view-mode-fulltext"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>The <a href="https://amzn.to/3MWF8r5"><b>UGEE U1600</b></a> pen display is selling at <b>USD 169</b> right now on Amazon US.

The place sells clothes, textiles and lots of food.</p> <p>I drew this sketch with <a href="https://concepts.app/en/">Concepts app</a> on an <a href="https://www.parkablogs.com/content/m2-ipad-pro-2022-artist-review">iPad Pro 11</a>. The sketch took me more than 1 hr 40 minutes to complete. And thankfully it was only after I completed the sketch that the stall behind me started opening up for business. </p> <p>This sketch was challenging to draw for several reasons. I had to stand and sketch for the whole duration. It was hot, noisy and crowded. And there's so many things to draw, and many people are moving around. </p> <p>For those who feel like challenging themselves, definitely try sketching at a market. There will always be something interesting to draw. Just make sure you don't block the traffic or stand in front of shops or stalls to affect their business. </p> <p>By the way, it is not possible for me to write a detailed step-by-step tutorial so if you really want to learn my sketching process with Concepts app, I recommend you check out <a href="https://www.parkablogs.com/content/my-art-and-sketching-courses">my online courses instead</a>.</p> <p><img src="https://www.parkablogs.com/sites/default/files/2023/gwangjang-market-02.jpg" width="990" /><br /> The first step is to create the line art. Subconsciously, I've placed the vanishing point for the benches at the back of the market. Most of what's drawn really comes down to observation skills. I started the sketch from the left and expanded out from there. </p> <p>I recommend not using undo as much as you can when sketching digitally because first undo means you have to redraw again and that will make your drawing process longer, and secondly you will be more careful with drawing when you don't rely on undo. </p> <p>I remembered having to move the drawn lines quite often and since I'm using Concepts, the lines can be selected and moved around easily. I often have to extend lines by stretching them. Manipulating lines like this is not something you can do easily with raster drawing apps without losing quality. </p> <p><img src="https://www.parkablogs.com/sites/default/files/2023/gwangjang-market-03.jpg" width="990" /><br /> The line art was drawn with the default Soft Pencil brush, and the colours added with the Chalk (paid) and textures with Splatter (paid). The many little flags hanging above were drawn with the Fill tool. </p> <p><img src="https://www.parkablogs.com/sites/default/files/2023/gwangjang-market-05.jpg" width="990" /><br /> The drawing and colouring style is quite simple. Details in the background are suggested. </p> <p><img src="https://www.parkablogs.com/sites/default/files/2023/gwangjang-market-04.jpg" width="990" /><br /> Most people and tourists come here for the food and that's what I wanted to highlight in this sketch. That's why I have food stall in the foreground with all the food display up front. </p> <p>Many customers sat, ate and left while I was sketching. I would always sketch the new customer who sits down because I know that person will be there for a while. </p> <p>I'm quite satisfied with this sketch mostly because I was able to slow down and draw more carefully. That allowed me to draw more carefully and hence didn't have to erase or undo much. </p> <p>If you want to learn how to sketch with this style, check out <a href="https://www.parkablogs.com/content/my-art-and-sketching-courses">my online sketching courses</a>.</p> </div></div></div><section class="field field-name-taxonomy-vocabulary-1 field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above view-mode-fulltext clearfix"> <h2 class="field-label">Tags:&nbsp;</h2> <ul class="field-items"> <li class="field-item even"> <a href="/my-sketches">my sketches</a> </li> <li class="field-item odd"> <a href="/tags/urban-sketching">urban sketching</a> </li> <li class="field-item even"> <a href="/tags/south-korea">south korea</a> </li> <li class="field-item odd"> <a href="/tags/gwangjang-market">gwangjang market</a> </li> </ul> </section> Boone Children's Gallery http://www.lacma.org/event/boone-childrens-gallery-42 LACMA urn:uuid:eb110cc8-3e14-4258-ddc7-e67763a87147 Wed, 07 Jun 2023 21:53:06 +0200 <span>Boone Children's Gallery</span> <span><span lang="" about="http://www.lacma.org/user/88843" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="" xml:lang="">kmurry</span></span> <span>Wed, 06/07/2023 - 12:53</span> <div class="field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field--item"><p>Join us for FREE painting!

Comprised of vibrant paintings and drawings in grainy colored pencil, the exhibition reflects the experience of re-emerging into public space following the pandemic. Firmly in discovery mode, the figures traverse the unearthly landscapes and tempestuous weather events and convene with each other as they form new bonds between humanity and nature.</p> <p><em>Murmurations</em> is on view through July 1.

Most of the kelp forests he explores are within <span style="color: #333333;">Channel Islands National Park near where he lives. &#8220;All my diving is within what is considered &#8216;recreational&#8217; limits at depths shallower than 130 feet.

Not only is some of the seaweed edible, it provides safe haven and nurseries for fish, while large concentrations of the algae are powerful <a href="https://earth.org/kelp-forests-carbon-sequestration" target="_blank" rel="noopener">carbon sinks</a> able to sequester millions of pounds of carbon dioxide. Due to the effects of the climate crisis and human inference with fragile aquatic ecosystems, the forests are suffering.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #333333;">Klug shines a light on the marine world with the hope that viewers will gain understanding and appreciation for critical habitats. &#8220;I love shooting the kelp forests because it lets me highlight one of nature&#8217;s most important resources,&#8221; he says. &#8220;Kelp forests are important to all of us as they contribute to our world’s health and stability.&#8221; Along with other wildlife like seals, sea lions, and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nudibranch" target="_blank" rel="noopener">nudibranchs</a>—a group of particularly colorful, tiny molluscs—the ocean challenges the artist to find the right conditions for lighting and exciting encounters, and to be in the right place at the right time.</span></p> <p>Find more of Klug&#8217;s nature photography on his <a

email from an artist asking about titling her work. This is one of the more common topics I discuss with artists. I understand that titling your artwork can become tiresome, and many artists feel that a title can get in the way of the artwork.</p> <p>Do titles really matter? Can the wrong title prevent you from selling your artwork? Can the right title guarantee a sale? While the issue may seem like a minor one, it is an issue you will be dealing with constantly over the course of your career.</p> <p>I am an advocate of titling artwork, and I feel titling deserves investment of time and thought – from my perspective in the gallery I see that titles matter to potential buyers.</p> <p>Read my conversation thread with the artist below, and then share your thoughts about titles in the comments below. How do you feel about titles? How do you come up with your titles? Your experience input and opinion are of tremendous value in adding to the collective knowledge available to other artists who read the blog.</p> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="http://reddotblog.com/to-title-or-not-to-title-that-is-the-question-21d/">To Title or Not to Title Your Art, That Is the Question</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="http://reddotblog.com">RedDotBlog</a>.</p> iPad Pro 11 vs 12.9 for drawing: Portability vs Usability https://www.parkablogs.com/content/ipad-pro-11-vs-129-drawing-portability-vs-usability Parka Blogs - Art books, art products urn:uuid:bd9b5730-59e9-ead7-2a34-252fe668eb12 Wed, 07 Jun 2023 06:03:47 +0200 <div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden view-mode-fulltext"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p><a href="https://www.parkablogs.com/content/ipad-pro-11-vs-129-drawing-portability-vs-usability"><img src="https://www.parkablogs.com/sites/default/files/2023/ipad-11-vs-129-drawing-size-01.jpg" width="500" /></a></p> <!--break--><p>So I just came back from South Korea from teaching at the <a href="https://www.instagram.com/uskgyeongju/?hl=en">GyeongJu Sketch Festa 2023</a>. My sketching workshop was conducted with traditional media but for the other days I actually sketched on the iPad Pro 11. </p> <p>For this trip, I had purchased a secondhand iPad Pro 11 specifically because I did not want to bring along my iPad Pro 12.9. The main reason was for the <b>lighter weight and better portability</b>. </p> <p>In this article I will share with you the usability experience of iPad Pro 11 vs 12.9 from the perspective of an <b>artist, graphic designer and urban sketcher</b> who enjoys sketching outdoors on location. I'll also tell you why after using the iPad Pro 12.9 for more than 5 years, I'll be switching over to the smaller 11-inch model for good. </p> <p>By the way, if you have intention to buy the iPad Pro, consider using the <a href="https://www.amazon.com?tag=parblo-20">Amazon affiliate link</a> for your purchase to support my blog. </p> <iframe width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tx5Blz79Umk" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><p>Much of what's written below was actually covered in this video (above) that I made a few years ago. It's still relevant today. </p> <h3>iPad Pro 11 has a huge advantage with weight</h3> <p>iPad Pro 11 (2022) weighs <b>466g to 470g</b>, and the iPad Pro 12.9 (2022) weighs <b>682g to 685g</b>. </p> <p>The weight difference of the 11 and 12.9-inch iPad Pro is around <b>216g</b>. </p> <p>FYI, the 2018 and 2020 models of iPad Pro 12.9 weigh 633g and 643g respectively. Those models without the mini-LED displays are slightly lighter.</p> <p><img src="https://www.parkablogs.com/sites/default/files/2023/ipad-11-vs-129-drawing-size-03.jpg" width="500" /><br /> When I sketched this at <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gwangjang_Market">GwangJang Market</a> in Seoul, I held the iPad Pro by the left bezel so that my left hand could access the tools while I draw with the right hand.</p> <p>It's not very possible to hold the iPad Pro 12.9 by the bezel while drawing without setting that tablet down on a surface. You can try but your thumb muscle will cramp up real fast. If you set the iPad Pro 12.9 against your lap while on your sofa, sure, no problem. </p> <p>The takeaway point is this, <b>the iPad Pro 12.9 is a table-top tablet and is best used on a surface for most comfort.</b> The iPad Pro 12.9 is still very compact and easy to bring around compared to the smaller model, but when it comes to one-handed usage, the experience with the iPad Pro 11 is significantly better. </p> <p>If your workflow involves using your tablet on a table at home, office, school or cafe, on the pull-out tray of the train or plane, or on your lap, you should have no issue with the iPad Pro 12.9 since you have a surface to work on. </p> <p><img src="https://www.parkablogs.com/sites/default/files/2023/ipad-11-vs-129-drawing-size-04.jpg" width="500" /><br /> A few minutes after I started sketching in the market, I removed the tablet case on my iPad Pro 11. I was standing while I was sketching and I really wanted to have the tablet as lightweight as possible. Even if I could sit and sketch, I may also remove the case so that I can bring the tablet higher to chest level for a more comfortable drawing position. </p> <p>I also found myself switching from the side grip to the underhand grip so that I could rest my thumb muscles after a while. But doing so means my left hand won't have access to the tools by the left. </p> <p>This is the type of usability issue you probably won't think or experience while testing the tablets at the Apple Store. Most people don't talk about this because most people don't hold their tablets with just one hand while they stand and sketch more more than an hour. </p> <h3>Those tablet cases have weight too</h3> <p>When you account for the iPad cases, they weigh even more. </p> <p>The iPad Pro 12.9 is considered light for a tablet its size, but iPad Pro 11 is much lighter. When you add a case, the iPad Pro 12.9 becomes much heavier. A big tablet case weighs more than a small tablet case. </p> <p>The extra weight with the added case (200g++), believe it or not, is the deal breaker. The iPad Pro 11 with case is still manageable but iPad Pro 12.9 with case becomes more unmanageable unless of course you set it down on a surface.</p> <h3>Drawing space</h3> <p><img src="https://www.parkablogs.com/sites/default/files/2023/ipad-11-vs-129-drawing-size-08.jpg" width="500" /><br /> The larger display provides a better drawing experience in the sense that you get to see your work larger, and there's more resolution for the UI, and the UI takes up a smaller portion on the display. </p> <p>Many drawing apps actually have UI designed to take up minimal space or will hide automatically to get out of the way of drawing. </p> <p><img src="https://www.parkablogs.com/sites/default/files/2023/ipad-11-vs-129-drawing-size-07.jpg" width="500" /><br /> The drawing experience on the smaller 11-inch display is still pretty good and I definitely have no complaints. There was not a single occasion where I wished the display was larger while I'm using the iPad Pro 11 outdoors. </p> <p><img src="https://www.parkablogs.com/sites/default/files/ipad-pro-2020-artist-review-03.jpg" /><br /> An 11-inch display is still much larger than an A5-sized sketchbook as you can see above. You can still rest your palm on the display while drawing without covering much of the display. </p> <h3>Multi-tasking</h3> <p>Split screen mode or multi-tasking on the iPad still sucks. That's just my opinion. So it doesn't really matter which size you go for. The iPad workflow is mostly designed for use with one app at a time. </p> <p>If I want a reference, I'll just have my phone show the reference by the side.</p> <p>Web surfing on the iPad Pro 11 looks fine and very satisfactory.</p> <h3>Pricing</h3> <p>The launch prices for M1 and M2 iPad Pro 11 are USD 300 lower than the iPad Pro 12.9. The price difference has increased from $200 to $300 due to the mini-LED display. </p> <p>Anyway, the iPad Pro 11 provides more value for money simply because it's cheaper. You can use the money saved to increase storage capacity and get an Apple Pencil. And if you don't mind getting refurbished units direct from Apple, you can get even more savings (10 - 15% off retail prices). </p> <h3>Conclusion</h3> <p>Still confused which size to get? Here are some questions to help you decide.</p> <p><b>QN: Will you set your tablet down on a table or surface while drawing? </b><br /> The iPad Pro 12.9 is a tabletop tablet and requires a surface to work on. If your workflow requires you to hold the tablet in hand without support, get the iPad Pro 11. </p> <p><b>QN: Is portability an important criteria?</b><br /> This is a trick question. Both tablets are portable. If you are to bring the tablets around and set them on top a surface to use, you can go with either sizes. But as mentioned earlier if you need to hold the tablet in hand without support, get the iPad Pro 11. </p> <p>I've a friend <a href="http://www.sketcherman.com">Rob Sketcherman</a> who has an iPad Pro 12.9 and iPad Mini 8.3. I personally do not recommend the iPad Mini because the UI scaling makes the fonts and buttons look smaller. </p> <p>Going with the medium sized tablets, such as the iPad, iPad Air and iPad Pro 11 really provides a good compromise against drawing usability, experience and portability.</p> <p><b>QN: Is your iPad your main drawing device?</b><br /> If you use your iPad as your main drawing device, this would suggest you will be drawing several hours a day, and that means you're likely to draw on a table or a surface. So you can go with either sizes. </p> <p>At the start of the article, I mentioned I am switching to the iPad Pro 11 for good. Yes, I will be selling away my iPad Pro 12.9 (2021) but I still have the iPad Pro 12.9 (2018). Once the old iPad breaks down, it will just be the iPad Pro 11. </p> <p>I hope this article is useful.

Peter experienced his own attempted murder at Catherine’s hands and she also imprisoned all of his friends. On top of this, Peter is at a loose end playing First Husband to Catherine’s reign, so he busies himself with fathering, hunting, and salty culinary ventures. But they’re not enough to keep him contented as he's plagued by visions of his late father (played by Jason Isaacs) and worries about his failures as Peter the Great’s son. Catherine the Great starts making a name for herself beyond her borders and, inspired by a visit from the US ambassador, sets up a conference where peasants, nobles, and merchants can all give their input on developing a new Russia. She learns that even the best political leaders sometimes need to make compromises in order to progress.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>Watch the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRRa5Mgh7Zc">official trailer</a>.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>You will receive a link to view the series and the post-screening conversation on the event date.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><strong><span><span>This screening is hosted by Slipstream, a LACMA-approved third-party screening platform.

Peter experienced his own attempted murder at Catherine’s hands and she also imprisoned all of his friends. On top of this, Peter is at a loose end playing First Husband to Catherine’s reign, so he busies himself with fathering, hunting, and salty culinary ventures. But they’re not enough to keep him contented as he's plagued by visions of his late father (played by Jason Isaacs) and worries about his failures as Peter the Great’s son. Catherine the Great starts making a name for herself beyond her borders and, inspired by a visit from the US ambassador, sets up a conference where peasants, nobles, and merchants can all give their input on developing a new Russia. She learns that even the best political leaders sometimes need to make compromises in order to progress.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>Watch the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRRa5Mgh7Zc">official trailer</a>.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>You will receive a link to view the series and the post-screening conversation on the event date.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><strong><span><span>This screening is hosted by Slipstream, a LACMA-approved third-party screening platform.

The series chronicles their descent from a complicated but thriving team to savage clans, while also tracking the lives they’ve attempted to piece back together nearly 25 years later, proving that the past is never really past and what began out in the wilderness is far from over.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span>In season two, two months have passed since Shauna gave Jackie the cold shoulder—to disastrous results. In the face of their deepening hunger and fear, the tension among the Yellowjackets has only grown worse. The harsh conditions of winter are intensifying by the day, and the psyches of the survivors are deteriorating just as fast. Threatened by the darkness of the wilderness—and the haunting memories of it in the present—the former state champs will be forced to make impossible decisions. As they confront the horrible truth of what survival entails, the real nightmare for each of them will be to figure out who they are—and what they are willing to sacrifice in order to stay alive.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>Watch the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krFohHX8WeU">official trailer</a>.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>You will receive a link to view an episode of the series on the event date.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><strong><span><span>This screening is hosted by Slipstream, a LACMA-approved third-party screening platform.

All images © Eamon Ore-Giron, courtesy of the artist and <i>James Cohan, New York, shared with permission</i></p></div> <p>A mélange of architectural structures, cosmic mappings, South American textiles, hieroglyphics, and Indigenous symbols emerge in vivid, balanced color in <a href="http://eamonoregiron.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Eamon Ore-Giron</a>’s paintings. Often rendered in flashe and mineral paint on large-scale linen canvases, the works are enveloping and visionary, transporting the viewer into Ore-Giron&#8217;s flat, geometric vistas.</p> <p>Currently based in Los Angeles, the artist is deeply influenced by his surroundings. He was raised in Tucson by a Peruvian father and mother of Irish descent, embedding him within a distinct medley of global cultures from Latino and Indigenous to Andean and European. The visual language of this mixed heritage is evident in his paintings, particularly his more recent <em>Talking Shit</em> and <em>Infinite Regress</em> series.</p> <p>On view now as part of <em>Competing with Lightning / <i>Rivalizando con el relámpago</i> </em>at <a href="https://thecontemporaryaustin.org/exhibitions/eamon-ore-giron-competing-with-lightning/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Contemporary Austin</a>, the works make a stark departure from Ore-Giron&#8217;s earlier figurative pieces and instead favor symmetries, geometric shapes, and ancient motifs. The more vibrant of the series is <em>Talking Shit</em>, which was born out of the artist&#8217;s time in Guadalajara, and engages with the gods of Mexican and Peruvian cultures. In the massive, 204-inch-wide &#8220;Talking Shit with Amaru,&#8221; Ore-Giron interprets <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amaru_(mythology)" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the mythological serpentine creature</a> of Incan and Andean lore. The two-headed beast is thought to transcend boundaries between the spiritual and earthly worlds, which appears in the work through careful cross-sections and a shapely form that leads in several directions.</p> <p><em>Infinite Regress</em> shifts to metallics, with wide swaths of gold emanating from a central totemic form. &#8220;In philosophy, infinite regress is a sequence of reasoning which can never come to an end: a paradox of infinite regeneration that disproves the concept of fixed knowledge—in connecting one element to another, a third one is always interpolated and so on, endlessly,&#8221; <a href="https://www.jamescohan.com/artists/eamon-ore-giron" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a statement</a> about the series says. Through thin lines reaching distant intersections and circles nestled in color-blocked stripes, many of the works evoke a distant horizon, the always unreachable and ever-recurring point.</p> <p>If you&#8217;re in Austin, you can see <em>Competing with Lightning</em> / <i>Rivalizando con el relámpago </i>through August 20.
