I recently made a magazine of my abstracts to promote my show at Alpine Art in February 2015. It was fairly easy using Blurb although I wasn't able to use the InDesign plugin and had to upload a PDF via their site–which I would recommend as I wasted a lot of time trying to trouble shoot the plugin.I think the project was successful although I won't really know until the hardcopy magazine is delivered. Preview it below and let me know what you think.
UPDATE: The magazine came within a few days and it looks beautiful. Hats off to Blurb for such excellent production values.

Looks Nice Brad. You have had an interesting and beautiful journey.
ReplyDeleteThanks Greg. I haven't been bored! Thanks for your kind words.
Deletegreat project Brad, I like very much. Your abstract works appear to have enjoyment of the paint, a "in touchness" with the medium and the inner you. I wonder if the two styles will merge or remain apart ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'm sure there will be a fusion of the two at some point. Thanks for your observation.
DeleteI am spellbound, diverse paths yet connected through heart and passion, one big inspirational journey is yours!
ReplyDeleteThank you Padmaja. It is definitely an adventure. Thanks so much for your comment.
DeleteI have also had your experience of not being to find information on how paint thickly with acrylics impasto style. I have been reading Van Gogh's Van Goghs which has excellent high resolution photos of Van Gogh's paintings so I can easily see how think and beautiful his painting techniques were. And that is how I found your "Thick Paint" series on Youtube and my way to your website and blog today, Brad.
ReplyDeleteI've got you bookmarked as a resource now, and I am thrilled to have found you! I'm just a wannabe artist and I enjoy acrylics (which I am also new to), but everyone has been telling me "you have to paint in oil to do impasto". I never believed them and I don't want to wait several weeks between layers to finish a painting. So your site is a welcome relief.
Thank you, Paul. I hope you have continued to enjoy the site. Thanks for your comments.
