Painting from a Photo: Tips, Challenges, and Solutions Anne Livingston Art 2025-01-28 | In preparation for our Art Series Challenge that we're working on together (yay!), I thought this would be a good time to talk about issues that arise when we paint or make art from a photo. In this video I talk about the benefits and challenges when we draw visual imagery from photographs. This is part 1 of a 2 part series. Next time I'll talk about color when using a photo as a reference, and this time I'm talking about composition.

Painting Grilled Corn Salad in the Kitchen Studio: Painting & Cooking Demo Anne Livingston Art 2025-07-07 | I’ve started working out how to merge my increased kitchen time with the need to paint every day. I hope to feed my family while also honing speedy painting/oil sketch skills. In this video I demo my painting process using produce on the counter as my subject, and follow up with a cooking process of how I made an improvised grilled corn salad.I have no idea if this will work or not, but thought I’d bring you along and show you how I’m doing it right now! Thanks for joining in the fun!Here's a loose recipe of what I made:4 ears of grilled cornAbout 1 cup leftover grilled vegetables: bell peppers and onion1 cucumber1 large carrotabout 1/8 of a fresh red onion (a few slices)1 small bunch parsleyDressinga little less than 1/4 cup sherry vinegar (or any other vinegar you prefer: white wine, balsamic come to mind)about 1 tsp cuminabout 1 tsp saltabout 1/2 tsp black pepperabout 1/4 tsp red pepper: aleppo pepper, silk chili pepper, red pepper flakes1 clove garlic, minced or pressed2 tsp dijon mustarda little less than 1/2 cup olive oilRemove kernels from corn and chop all the other vegetables into small pieces similar in size to the corn kernels, except finely mince the fresh red onion and the parsley.Dressing: Whisk all dressing ingredients together besides the olive oil in a glass measuring cup or small bowl.

You Need a Website (Im talking to you, artist friend) Anne Livingston Art 2025-05-04 | Even if you're in beginning stages in your art path--such as starting to show your work to friends and family, it's time to put something out there. Why not? It's never been easier and cheaper to do it, and it gives you a chance to show people work in a way that belongs to you (rather than social media). Plus, you can write something about yourself and your work, which starts the relationship between your viewers and your art. This portfolio/website/shop (whatever you want it to be) does not have to be the very best you've ever made, it's just a step in that direction!If you already have a website, maybe this is a message to check it out and see if today's the day for a little refresh. Here's a downloadable chart I made you if you're overwhelmed by all the platforms out there. These are some of the biggest names, complete with monthly fees, fees if selling work, and what they offer. docs.google.com/document/d/1c1fSGjqkzHrRh5zC8YOTVPvarXfcpMe5eRWFvAKf9Pw/edit?tab=t.0If you want to try selling your art and merch on Fourthwall you and I both get $10 in sample credit if you use my link: link.fourthwall.com/ref/anne-livingstonOr, I just found out: if you want to try Artwork Archive, you can use this link below.

(Long!) Painting Process: Yellow-Green Bartlett Pears Anne Livingston Art 2025-04-26 | This is raw footage of how I often start painting a small still life--my color planning process, pre-mixing oil paint, sketching with a brush, and course-correction throughout.

This is only the first coat of the painting, and I'll come in and refine and improve the second round. Let me know if you'd like to see how I do round #2!

Art Plans for Economic Downturn Anne Livingston Art 2025-04-19 | Money can be a sensitive subject, but now that we are facing a potential financial crisis in the US and elsewhere, it’s even more important than ever to explicitly make plans and even shift our mindsets to best serve the situation, ourselves, our families, our art. You and I are inevitably in different situations, so it seems bonkers to even suggest anything to anyone right now…but I hope hearing my plans might trigger ideas for you in your own art practice and/or business. And what I do know is that this potentially scary time is one that we can try to get through together. Maybe by helping each other out we’ll all come out the other end a little stronger as artists, more resilient as humans, and more connected as a community.Chapter list is at the bottom of this page in case you need to jump ahead to the topics that feel most helpful.

Painting the Sides of Your Paintings Anne Livingston Art 2025-03-03 | There are many ways to approach painting the sides of your paintings, and they often relate to the paintings (and the surfaces) themselves.

Anne Livingston Art is live! (1st time) Anne Livingston Art 2025-02-22 | It's rough but it worked! I went live for the first time and it will hopefully only get better from here 😉 In this recording of the live video I talk about how I am not buying new art supplies this year so that I will use what I have. it's a daunting challenge, but I think it will both save me money and help me appreciate what I have. I think it will also inspire the kind of great creativity that comes from limitations. And it might even get me a little extra room in my studio as I get clearer on what I actually use. There may be moments when I truly, truly need a supply. If that is the case then I will plan on buying it at a local small business.
Practice YouTube Live for the Art Series Challenge Anne Livingston Art 2025-02-18 | Test. Test. Test. Test.This video is my practice run before doing a real Youtube Live, which I’ll be trying at least several times before our Art Series Challenge virtual gallery opening on Friday, April 11, at 10 a.m. Pacific Time. I want to at least sort of know what I’m doing once that day comes!Basically this is me working on re-thinking my palette and medium for my own series for the challenge. It's a lot of mixing paint and talking about paint colors and the series. Might be a nice accompaniment to your own painting time today! Art friends painting together. :) If you are interested in joining the Art Series Challenge, the only parameters are:Make a small art series this year (anything in 2025), and the “due date” is April 3. If you want to include your series in our gallery opening, let me know via colortheory@annelivingston.com And I’ll be able to give you updates on our challenge! I won’t use your email address for anything else. There’s a little more than 6 weeks to do this, so there’s still time for a small series! :) Link to buy me a coffee (thank you for your support!) buymeacoffee.com/vybsx9tmqqWant more from Anne Livingston Art?Subscribe here on YT: youtube.com/@annelivingstonartCheck out my book Slow Color Project: annelivingston.com/shop-and-classes/slow-color-project-bookInstagram: instagram.com/annelivingstonartFacebook: facebook.com/annelivingstonartWebsite: annelivingston.com
Cool Ways to Name Your Artwork Featuring Work by Graham Franciose Anne Livingston Art 2025-02-14 | The act of naming artwork can feel like a lot.

I hope these ideas are helpful. Please do share if you have any other ideas or thoughts about naming artwork. It's a lifelong process, just like the making of the artwork itself!Here are links to Graham's website and his Instagram.

Sketch it 20 Times, FAST Anne Livingston Art 2025-02-08 | This may sound like torture, but drawing something 20 times is worth it! Something about repeating it over and over leads to some interesting surprises, and also can build confidence and understanding about drawing the image. I hope you give it a try!

Hope you can stick with me for this half hour, because you'll hopefully come out the other side ready to make some excellent plans for action that will really help!misabee.cominstagram.com/misabee.energy“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative and creation, there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too.All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favour all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. I have learned a deep respect for one of Goethe's couplets:Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.
