New Media!!!!!!

This is my new media, this material Is a kind of water color, but the differences from the normal water color is that this kind of water color is opaque, it has strong adhesion ability, which it can cover the previous layer of color well.

The above piece is an observational painting of a set of still life. The following painting is an abstract landscape painting, I changed some color to make the contrast pop out, and i also used thick brush just to illustrate to "movement" of the trees.

It's a lot of fun to do painting like this!!! you don' t even have to worry if you are on the right track of painting the "precise" object, you just let the brush go with your heart and hand!~~:0

Hints in using Artstor

There are many ways to find the images you’re looking for in the ARTstor Digital Library; a simple keyword search will often lead you to what you’re looking for, and an advanced search will help narrow the results. Wildcards can help when you don’t remember a precise name or title, or, conversely, when you are looking for something very specific. There are only four to remember:

The underscore (_) can represent any one character. For example, m_netwill retrieve monet, manet, etc.
The asterisk (*) can represent zero, one, or several characters. ren* will retrieve ren, rene, renoir, renaissance, etc.
The dollar sign ($) will expand the search to include terms that stem from a given root. $farm will retrieve farm, farmer, farming, farmyard, etc.
To search for an exact phrase, put it in quotes (“…”). When searching for the painting Le Moulin de la Galette by Renoir, enter “le moulin de la galette”. Also, unless your search phrase is enclosed in quotation marks, the order of terms will not affect the search, so searching for albrecht durer gives you the same results as searching for durer albrecht.
