Most of her work is gouache and pastel, her technique is fresh and direct. The use of gouache enable Sharpe to work in a great diversity of places while she travels and explores different topics such as architectural spaces, urban lifespan, and portraits. In other interview published in 2011 by Jan Allsopp in the web page “The Artling”, Sharped admitted that she loves gouache because it is paint and she loves it. She also likes it for its versatility, by manipulating it, you can produce washes that are nearly as translucent as watercolour but it can be dense and dark as well. Her works are never perfect, they are uneven and awkward, but are painted with such delight that one might ignore almost any imperfection in her technique and masterpiece.
His painting is composed of impression, mood and also landscape (from the online book h.h arnason keep writing http://mission17.org/documents/Arnason3PostImpressionism.pdf.)
Nolan’s painting style is noted for its fluidity, which he emphasized by applying unusual mediums—such as ripolin (an enamel house paint) and polyvinyl acetate—to masonite, glass, paper, or canvas.

She usually works from photographs. In the case of Kurt Cobain, the Nirvana singer who killed himself in 1994, she used images from a commemorative issue of Rolling Stone. I ask if she has had the chance to meet her idols - those who are still around - and paint them from life. "I don't really separate those pictures out," she says, with a hint of impatience. "I don't call them 'rock star paintings'. I think of it more like people who make things." So why not paint welders or carpenters? "There's something in music that fascinates me - how it communicates emotion so immediately. That's something I wanted in my paintings. Whatever was in Liam Gallagher's voice, I wanted to capture - more than how he looked."
Katharina Grosse has a very interesting approach to her way of art-making, it can be thought of as both a simplistic approach yet complex as well. She likes to create cool things to look at because she enjoys looking at things. It’s a simple approach because she entertains herself and pleases herself, but her work has to be complex, fun, ridiculous, and tricky. Grosse refers to herself as “the painting trickster.” Her medium of choice is spray paint delivered by a high power, large-nozzle gun (Powell). Through this, she is able to cast her vibrant and electrifying colors onto many different canvases. Her work can be a large scaled sculpture or a smaller wall painting. Grosse makes use of vibrant colors, light, shadows, and space. Her ideas
Theres one of a bunny on a mustard yellow background, a bridge on a shadowy green background among others they all play with the relation of space and even color. This is so much different to any other representational art. She focused on containing the image but still balanced itself between abstract and what is real. The way that she positions and uses color almost reminds me of Clyfford Still or Barnett Newman use of color and space. Still in a sense has the same sillouhte concept where color helps to contrast and bring attention to color and shape, which is exactly what Green does. Ofcourse Greens paintins is far less abstract that either Newman or Still but it still has that sence of playing with the
She believes that experiences like gold mining and other parts of her childhood and family life show up in her work. In her paintings she creates a skin like surface with layers of acrylic paint. She also uses items like hair and walrus stomach to add dimension. She is interested in different layers and creating a “physical history” in her
All his photographs have thousands of interpretations and creativity, puts together different elements in his photographs that when you see them alone they don’t mean as much as you see them together, when they are together it creates a million stories that can amaze you for ever, his colours have the exact feeling that the photograph wants to transmit or at least the photographs couldn’t be better with different colours.
This was created by Rachel Manson. In historic period, carving is the technique of changing shape of a material which the artist subtracts or cuts away from a solid material to reach the desired form by use of tools such as knives, chisels tipped power cutters, and chainsaws. This kind of Art work, can be time consuming and painstaking method because of the hard and heavy materials, such as stones or other marble that are often used. However, artists also carve from softer substances such as wood and soap depending on recourses and cost. Sculpturing requires innovative or intellectual ideas. I would say that the sculptor could use some attention but keep at it. My favorite piece is the ceramic sculpture; it is the cleanest and most
How has this artist/artwork inspired my use of media and technique within my Body Of Work Three:
Francis Picabia style is very intriguing and unique to me. Generally, in painting or drawing, there are layers added which enhance the richness of the tone or colour. However, Francis uses a very special technique

Arshile Gorky, one of the legacies in American art, created beautiful yet tragic paintings during his lifetime. It is disappointing to imagine that his name is not well known among the abstract expressionists, as he had so much influence and deserves to be more well-recognized. In fact, I had chosen Gorky without knowing who he was at all or what kind of artist he was. The reason I chose Gorky for this research paper was actually because of his name since it sounded interesting. Based on his name, I imagined Gorki would be ‘crazy’ or ‘out there’, mainly because Gorky sounds like the slang word, “corky”. So from that, I imagined I would find some art pieces that were really eye-popping, and not traditional. Basically, my expectations were right
The subject matter in her paintings are mostly animals, but she also includes flowers to it sometimes. She creates them in a different way, so they have patterns, different colors and textures.
