Art History

A photograph of an artwork should be able to capture the colours and hues in the exact tone. While an overcast mid-day sky allows for the perfect natural lighting for photographing artwork, you can also achieve good results indoors in a naturally well-lit space.

Art inspires art! If you are frequently struggling with finding inspiration for creating art, make it a habit to look for other artworks to trigger motivation. You can also go through some of your past favourites to jump-start the creative process.

All the well-known and highly regarded artworks evoke intense emotional stimulation, making them significant across all eras. A painting with a reinforced emotional appeal remains relevant forever.

King's Framing & Art Gallery offers a variety of colourful and classic metallic colours with a reflecting appearance ideal for adding that additional shine to your objects, giving off an appealing shimmer and bringing paintings to life in the most eye-catching way.

Every artist has to counter harsh criticism and unhealthy feedback for their artwork. As all published or displayed artworks are open for feedback and review, there is a chance that someone would share an opinion that might feel "hurtful" to the artist and thus dent one's confidence.

Artists often have their preferred medium when it comes to painting. They find themselves comfortable while working with their choices. Some swear by acrylic paints, while others are loyal to watercolours.

Watercolour paints require you to have a special kind of paper to protect your work. When you're just getting started, stick to essential watercolour painting papers.

Coloured pencils are a very approachable and exciting medium to work with. Even though coloured pencils as an art medium aren’t a traditional practice, they have grown in popularity among upcoming artists.

Is it the skill, talent or experience? Many might argue that the best artist is one whose drawings are almost perfect. Yes, it is unequivocally correct to say so, but one must accept that the journey to perfection is never perfect.
