Sketching Artworks from the Paley Collectionat the de Young Museum, San Francisco

”Sketch

This week I had the pleasure and inspiration of sketching beautiful artworks from The William S. Paley Collection: A Taste for Modernism at the de Young Museum, San Francisco. I’d like to share a few of my sketches with you, all drawn in a 9″ x 9″ Fabriano Artist’s Journal (see Studio Materials). I enjoyed sketching in the square format pages. The paper has a nice subtle grain.

I started off with a quick pencil sketch of Alberto Giacometti’s painting of his wife Annette, painted in 1950 a year after they married. I was fascinated with the way he left in all his construction lines, compresses the figure width-wise and picks away at the lines just like he does in his sculptures. The direct translation between Giacometti’s paintings and sculptures is remarkable, each seeming to echo the other, and both evoking a lot about the process. As I stood there drawing, another museum visitor was discussing the painting and used the words “struggle” and “ambiguity”. These words seemed very apt in describing the essence of the painting and what I strove to capture in my sketch.

”Sketch

The next painting that caught my eye for sketching was a colorful still life by Pierre Bonnard from 1939. At first glance it looked more like a Matisse than a Bonnard, replete with the vivid Fauvist choice of colors and color contrasts, the flattened perspective and strong pattern and abstract compositional elements. Bonnard and Matisse were close friends, both fascinating colorists. I used a limited set of Caran D’Ache Neocolor Aquarelle pastel sticks (also listed in Studio Materials) to make this sketch.

”Sketch

Turning to my left was a very different and much more muted Bonnard painting, a reclining nude from 1897. I loved the strong single contour of the figure that wound its way across the wide shallow canvas. I made a few quick pencil marks and tried to capture the quality of the lines as simply as I could.

”Sketch

As I walked into the next gallery in the exhibition right infront of me across the far wall of the gallery was a small but striking painting by Bonnard’s friend Henri Matisse, “Seated Woman with Vase of Amaryllis” (1941). I decided to start sketching this painting from half way across the gallery where I could only see the rough forms and no detail. I purposely left my glasses off so the picture was slightly out of focus. This allowed me to just work with the large abstract qualities of the composition before getting carried away with reproducing detail. After about twenty minutes I moved closer and then started working over my initial rough sketch with a little more detail.

”Sketch

Finally the guard announced the museum was closing. With just a couple of minutes left I sat myself in front of a large dramatic Pablo Picasso painting, “Boy Leading a Horse”, 1905-6. I then made a very fast two minute single line contour drawing (i.e. without lifting my pencil up). I always enjoy this exercise – a great discipline in intense observation combined with continuous movement on the paper.

”Sketch

”Sketch

I went back to the show on the last day of the exhibition and made a final sketch of André Derain’s Bridge over the Riou (1906). This magnificent Fauvist work was created just a year after the first Fauvist exhibition. Using the same Caran D’Ache crayons as earlier, I sat on the bench facing the painting and, between the crush of last-minute “catch the show just before it closes” visitors between me and the painting, I was able to catch enough glimpses of the painting to sketch. I looked at it as an abstract and didn’t worry about what the color strokes, dabs and shapes represented. I started with a bright red crayon, mapped out some basic forms and went from there. You can see in the two photos and short iPhone movie below the progression of the sketch. I found that later in the sketch I wished I’d left more empty space. It’s tough trying to add lighter color over darker when using pastels and crayons, better to recognize early on where you want the light values to stand out.

”Sketch

”Sketch

I hope you enjoy these quick sketches. Please feel free to email me a small jpg now and then of any gallery sketches you make. We can learn a lot from sketching paintings. I find sketching from an actual original artwork is a completely different quality of experience compared to sketching based on a photograph of the same artwork in a book.

Happy sketching!

Flamenco Fiesta at El Farol

”Flamenco

[Gallery] This painting depicts Flamenco dancers and musicians performing at the historic El Farol in Santa Fe, New Mexico. It is based on a series of photographs I took with kind permission of the fabulous performers while I was in Santa Fe teaching “Painting the Passion of Flamenco” at the Santa Fe Photographic Workshops. The colors, composition and approach used in this painting were inspired by John Singer Sargent’s magnificent El Jaleo and John Nieto’s vibrant fauvist works.

The lady dancing on the left of the painting is Giovanna Hinojosa. The dancers sitting down are Haley Licha and Rebekah Leyva. The singer is Gretchen Williams, and the guitarist is Mario Febres. They are all members of the dance company “Yjastros” which is part of the National Institute of Flamenco based in Albuquerque.

Matisse Performance

Jeremy Sutton as Henri Matisse

Tableau Vivant at the de Young Museum, San Francisco, Sept. 14, 2012

In celebration of the opening of the exhibition “William S. Paley Collection: A Taste for Modernism” at the de Young Museum I portrayed the great French artist Henri Matisse in a tableau vivant (September, 2012). During the performance I drew, painted with sumi-e ink, gouache and acrylic paints, sculpted in clay and cut and glued paper cutouts.

“Wow! Wow! and more Wow!  It is lovely.  Thank you so much for all your hard work.  We love it. 

 Thanks for doing it for us.  It is truly a magical capture of our day and will have pride of place on the wall.

 Kind regards, Nicky and Steve xx

Congratulations Nicky and Steve! In this panorama collage painting I have visually woven together the story of your special day, starting with the ceremony in the magnificent and historical San Francisco City Hall, continuing with the amazing cable car tour and rounding it off with your first dance in the Fairmont Hotel.

I was so inspired by the beauty of your ceremony on the balcony in the magnificent San Francisco City Hall Rotunda that I decided to use the panorama of that scene as the backdrop for the painting. Your hand-written vows are included throughout the painting, as you can see in some of the artwork details below.

The iPad artworks shown on this page represent some of my earliest iPad drawings. They were created directly from life on an iPad without use of photography between 2010 and 2012. With the exception of the Amsterdam portrait, they are all made using a Nomad Brush. I use the long bristle option, which can be purchased by clicking on the right hand link above. The left hand link is the short bristle version. The sketch (above) was created using the ZenBrush app.

Golden Gate Bridge at 75

The Story in a Painting

”San

Golden Gate Bridge at 75, 2012

120″ wide x 84″ high, mixed media on canvas

Created in celebration of the 75th anniversary of the iconic Golden Gate Bridge

This painting is a tribute to the vision, determination, skill and sacrifice of the many people we have to thank for this magnificent icon. In the lower left corner of the painting you will see the faces of five important players in the creation of the bridge. From left to right:

  • Joseph Baermann Strauss, Chief Engineer, who doggedly pursued the idea of building a Golden Gate Bridge after being asked in 1917 to offer a proposal by city engineer Michael M. O’Shaughnessy, and eventually saw it through to completion.
  • Amadeo Peter Giannini, financial guarantor whose Bank of America bought $6 million in bonds in 1932, without which the project would probably have never got off the ground.
  • Irving F. Morrow, consulting architect with is wife Getrude C. Morrow (they replaced the initial consulting architect John Eberson) and who, building on Eberson’s initial design and in close consultation with assistant engineer Clifford Paine, was responsible for the beautiful Art Deco styling. Irving Morrow lobbied successfully for the distinctive International Orange color.
  • Charles Ellis, key engineering expert who undertook many of the complex design calculations (they filled ten volumes).
  • Leon Moissieff, designer of the NY Manhattan Bridge, who contributed force calculations and worked closely with Ellis.

The workers who toiled above and below the treacherous waters are represented in the mid-left section of the painting. Throughout the artwork are newspaper clippings from the San Francisco Chronicle published on May 27th, 1937, the day the bridge was opened to the public, and the subsequent two days. The opening of the bridge was accompanied by a parade and a city-wide “Fiesta” featuring multiple celebrations, events and venues. The Fiesta program is included in the artwork.

Provenance

This painting is a one-of-a-kind original artwork in the collection of the artist. It is available for sale. It has previously been publicly exhibited at the GGB75 Soirée and at the Embarcadero Conference Center, both in San Francisco.

Paintings from Cirque du Soleil TOTEM San Francisco, 2011

The paintings you see below were created as part of my digital painting performances (56 in total) in the Tapis Rouge VIP tent at the Cirque du Soleil’s “Totem” show in San Francisco, October – December, 2011. At the bottom of this page are a few examples of drawings I made of some of the Totem Artistes backstage and in the employees cafe. A BIG thank you to all the wonderful people at Cirque du Soleil!

Pigment ink, acrylic gel medium, acrylic paint, metal leaf, Giants World Series ticket and spar varnish on canvas over a fibre glass structure with steel support and base. Large Heart commissioned by the San Francisco General Hospital Foundation and purchased by VISA. Was located at the Geary/Powell corner of Union Square, San Francisco, from February 10 – September 14th, 2011. The Union Square management estimated that approximately 9 million visitors saw this Heart while it was on the Square. I was commissioned by the San Francisco General Hospital Foundation to paint a Large Heart for the 2011 series of Hearts in San Francisco. This Heart was first publicly displayed at the Heroes & Hearts Luncheon in Union Square, San Francisco, on February 10, 2011, and then installed on the Square. VISA purchased this Heart – thank you VISA. See the StarkInsider video article about the unveiling of the Hearts. An interview with me is featured at 1 minute 22 seconds into the video. Also see John Darakjian’s YouTube video (an “artist’s eye” tour of the Heart).

The Heart is painted with a full color depiction of the Golden Gate Bridge and other contemporary San Francisco scenes (plus a San Francisco Giants World Series ticket)on one side and black and white film noir scenes of San Francisco from classic films on the other side. The color side was based on my painting San Francisco Heart. The films featured on the black and white side include: Cops (1922), San Francisco (1936), Sisters (1938), The Maltese Falcon (1941), Dark Passage (1947), DOA Original (1950) and Vertigo (1958). The depiction of the Maltese Falcon itself was based on the Maltese Falcon sculpture in the historic John’s Grill whose owner, John Konstin, was kind enough to grant me permission to photograph it. Actors featured on the film noir side of the Heart include Humphrey Bogart (Maltese Falcon and Dark Passage), Kim Novak (Vertigo), Buster Keaton (Cops), Edmond O’Brien (DOA), Spencer Tracy (San Francisco), Errol Flynn and Betty Davis (The Sisters). If you visit the Heart in person see how many of them you can spot!

THE PROCESS OF PAINTING THE HEART

Here are some views of the Heart while it was in my studio during the painting process.

When the heart first arrived...a blank canvas!
When the heart first arrived…a blank canvas!

thescene-02-400crop-_MG_9951

In painting this Heart I combined digital with traditional art media. The design was originally painted digitally using Corel Painter software, a Wacom Intuos4 pen tablet, Macintosh computer and a 30 inch Apple Cinema display. Using an Epson wide format inkjet printer I then printed the front and back images onto a total of 32 feet length of 44 inches wide coated canvas. This canvas digital print was then cut up and wrapped around the huge heart and adhered to it with acrylic gel medium. Transferring a flat painting onto a curved, almost spherical, form provided it’s own set of challenges and appreciation of the skill of clothing designers! I spent many weeks adding acrylic paint over the canvas. The paint was primarily applied thickly with a palette knife, with some brush painting as well. You can feel the impasto texture when you touch the Heart. I also added metal leaf and, as a tribute to the success of the local baseball team, a Giants World Series ticket (the World series was played as I was painting the Heart)! The whole Heart was then coated in multiple layers of spar varnish for uv and water protection.
