Craftsmanship MEDIUMS 101

With near 50 craftsmen addressed at Anne Neilson Fine Art, we see a wide assortment of
craftsmanship mediums. A craftsmanship's medium alludes to the various materials or supplies that a
craftsman uses to make a show-stopper. In painting, medium can allude to both the sort of paint
utilized (oil, acrylic, watercolor, and so forth) and the base or ground to which the paint is applied
(material, wood, paper, and so on) Knowing the paint medium when you take a gander at a show-
stopper is key since it extraordinarily influences the manner in which one can see the shading, surface,
and generally appearance of a craftsmanship.

At the exhibition, our specialists use an assortment of media. This grants contrasts between works of
art where the style and topic can't contend. Beneath we've featured a couple guides to show you why
medium matters and how it adds to the expansion of our artistic work assortment.

Craftsmanship Critic, John Seed depicts Sandy Ostrau and her work, "An instinctive craftsman who
loves paint as a substance — and who tends to devastate her symbolism with painterly signals —
Ostrau doesn't go right to deliberation. To do as such would eliminate the passionate association she
needs watchers to have with her source material. "I'm not a completely theoretical painter," she
clarifies: "I need individuals to feel the scene."
