Famous Painters: The Top 3 Most Famous Painters of All Time
Our world has been blessed with the genius and talent of so many gifted artists that have given us the incredible master pieces that have motivated and inspired, not just an era, but for so long after their brushes have laid their final strokes.
As it is true that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, it would be impossible to select just a few and present them as the best without attracting fierce debate, of which there could not ever be a winner.
Here I have compiled a short reference to present the top 3 most famous painters of all time.
Leonardo Da Vinci (1452-1519)- Renaissance
It is without debate that the number 1 spot belongs to no other than Leonardo Da Vinci. Often referred to as the father of Renaissance, and a master of perspective, the influence of Leonardo Da Vinci today extends far beyond the realm of artistic endeavor.
Inspired and encouraged by growing up in an environment rich in scholarly flavor, Da Vinci created only six major works in painting. All six of this works are masterpieces of significance. Da Vinci is renowned for his work in such fields as architecture, engineering, natural science mathematics and geometry.
Leonardo became the first painter, architect, and engineer for King Francis 1st in France. It was the King himself at his side on the 2nd of May, 1519 when he died.

Instructional DVD & Manual, Volume 1 Traditional Realist Oil PaintingAmerican artist, Hall Groat II, in his unique instructional DVD series demonstrates the techniques of the lost art of traditional realist oil painting. In volume #1 he presents five comprehensive demonstrations, offering nearly 2 hours of solid instruction. The demonstrations included are of compositions involving: three lemons, radishes, ballet slippers, railroad conductor's pocket watch, and teacup & saucer.Through his innovative, step-by-step approach he outlines the process that was used by such 19th century painters as Edgar Degas and Edward Manet. Using an easily understood teaching approach, Hall reveals the secrets behind creating dramatic light and shadow illusions to compelling atmospheric spaces, all the way to rendering convincing three-dimensional illusions of form and space.The included DVD, along with the accompanying manual, present a concise step-by-step system, offering both the beginning and the professional artist the necessary tools to successfully create traditional realist still life oil paintings. Such topics are covered as establishing background variation and movement, accents and cast shadows, and realizing the primary and secondary planes of the motif. Each of the five demonstrations is divided into phases with clearly stated topic headings that correspond to the steps presented in the instructional guide. A glossary of painting terms is also included! All of the demonstrations are approximately 15-30 minutes in length.Hall has taught art for over twenty years, and currently is an Associate Professor of Art at a college in New York. ARTNews Magazine critic, Gerard Haggerty, states that Hall Groat II's still life paintings evoke the big picture that we call art history, including painters like Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin, Edwin Dickinson, and his teacher Lennart Anderson." Collectors of his work have expressed that the work is "Alive, full of grace vitality and beauty, capturing light that is sublime in nature."Groat is included in important private and public collections worldwide. These include actors, Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones, Clear Channel Communications, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Cellular One, Sheraton Hotel Corporation, Binghamton University, Everson Museum of Art, Munson-Williams Proctor Institute of Art, The State University of New York system, Roberson Museum and Science Center and Washington Jefferson College.

the hand movement is a good technique which aids one stoke marks, it keeps the brush mark clean and not fiddly

No. Painting in this way is just like math. Once you learn the steps, its just practice. "Talented" artists are usually just blessed with patience because you really have to look, stare and contemplate your subject matter for a long time before mastering it (years even). I always tell this to my beginners students because its true, not because I want to charm them.

iriating technique u got there. Why do u do that quick jerk with the hand to the left each time u make precise brush stroke!? Sometimes your hand flies 10 - 15 cm to the left. Totaly exagerated and unnecesary.Otherwise your lemons look good!

If you did have to be 'born' with it, teachers like this would be wasting their time. Mind you they would still be paid for it! No you don't need to be born to it. To paint for yourself, you need patience and to listen and practice.

COOL! And, even though this doesn't have anything to do with painting...you can take a quarter lemon and squeeze it into a diet orange drink to add incredible flavor.(but, no...I ain't a spammer fer the lemon industry...just an artist ) |
