by Catherine Beale (Author)Capturing Light is a must for artists who wish to investigate the golden qualities of light with the emphasis on creating dramatic, imaginative landscapes. Catherine Beale has developed an imaginative light-capturing technique that is both simple and effective. She calls this 'gravity' painting. In landscapes, where light is an essential element, this 'loosen up' method of flowing watercolor pigments is particularly effective. It can dramatically alter perspectives,...

by Amanda Strasik (Editor)The rise of Enlightenment philosophical and scientific thought during the long eighteenth century in Europe and North America (c. 1688-1815) sparked artistic and political revolutions, reframed social, gender, and race relations, reshaped attitudes toward children and animals, and reconceptualized womanhood, marriage, and family life. The meaning of "education" at this time was wide-ranging and access to it was divided along lines of gender, class, and race. Learning...

The real history is often the story of some very simple firsts - the first time an artist painted themselves, the first time someone painted a smile, the first actual place to be depicted, the first feminist artwork, the first anti-war work. Art evolves and revolutionises itself through these simple - but ground-breaking - creative leaps. Art Firsts brings together 30 of these...
