 Original art covering a wide range of subjects, Semi Abstract, Abstract and Realism

We all have different ideas about what art should be, and the best approach is to have a good mix of realism and contemporary styles. Art encompasses many things: it can be exotic, soothing, colorful, inspiring, or decorative.

People often choose art based on how it complements a color scheme in a room or space. Others might select pieces for their uniqueness or their atmospheric presence. Sometimes, individuals have a preference for a specific medium, such as watercolor.

.

Acrylic                   Vibrant and great for abstract work.

Pastels                    Velvety and soft. Especially good for portraits.

Watercolour          Fresh and translucent.

Inks                         Either acrylic or Indian. Vibrant, flowing, contemporary.

Oils                         Luxurious and good for blending and detail.

Mixed Media is gaining in popularity and can be used on any surface creating wonderful textures and unique appearances.

Depending on the choice of media the surfaces are usually: Canvas , Canvas Board, Watercolour/Pastel Paper, Vellum and Heavy Cartridge Paper.

Things to consider.

Art for the home or office can be chosen for colour schemes or the mood of the surroundings. Check the space for hanging the work. Make sure the painting is neither too large or too small for your wall.
