Following on the heels of Die Brücke was Der Blaue Reiter, German for “The Blue Rider.” While the Die Brücke was being recognized as the first formal group of Expressionists, Der Blaue Reiter was forming. The group can be traced to as early as 1903, when Wassily Kandinsky showed the painting of a naked blue man riding a blue horse. In 1911 Kandinsky and Franz Marc founded Der Blaue Reiter to explore their ideas of emotion-based creativity in the visual, written and musical arts. Kandinsky pushed the limits of abstraction and pioneered non-objective art by choosing other abstract ideas, such as music and feeling, as the subjects of his painting. In 1912 a show of Der Blaue Reiter was mounted and included artists Marc, Kandinsky, August Macke, Henri Rousseau, Robert Delaunay and Paul Klee. All artists had a spiritual or mystical aspect in their paintings, and all urged creative freedom of expression.
Metal D-clamp for swivel lamps or other type of swivel arms. Much better than the plastic one. More secure and sturdier. Changed all three of my lamp bases. I use swivel arms for my workbench multi-meters (much heavier than a lamp). Happy with my purchases.Highly recommended.
As a cartoonist, I prefer the Strathmore 300 series smooth surface bristol. It works well in achieving a smooth, even ink line whether using pen or brush. And most importantly, it is more economical than either the 400 series, or 500 series bristol.
I love these ChromaTemp paints. I use them on black panels because they are very opaque. For this purpose they are much better than acrylics which look great until the milky white binder dries and turns clear. Then you lose your painting.. The color range is very good and I find that they mix well enough for my purposes.
I topcoat with UV Resistant gloss acrylic to help preserve the colors as temperas are usually not lightfast. So far so good! No fades.
