In this painting, the car featured is the iconic Lancia Stratos Alitalia (a Ferrari engined Lancia) seen here on a rally stage in Italy, during a very early snow-fall – hence the autumn leaves still on the trees.    This work has been painted using Artists’ quality Oils on stretched and framed canvas and the size of the work is 55cm x 46cm.   It is a signed,certified and original work of motoring art.   Twenty only, signed, Limited Edition copies are available, as well as the original.   Please enquire for details.Lancia Stratos finished

THE ART OF THE PEN

Anne D'Alton's Artworks, illustrtation, ink drawing, Line and wash, Nude

Usually, as in this drawing of a nude made on primed board, I work in black ink, but occasionally, I use sepia coloured ink pens – particularly in figurative illustrations.   It takes time to work in pen so give yourself time,

TAKING ON THAT ARTISTIC CHALLENGE.

Take a different approach to both the delivery and form of your work and give it a totally new look, such as I have painted here, using acrylic paint on paper, to produce a “floral” painting, but one that is vibrant and very visual.

ART OR IMAGERY?

Any artist knows that image is important and that the essence of the image must remain, but it can be as clearly or as ethereally defined as the artists believes it should be shown.

For my example, I have chosen my own illustration (ink on paper) of my version of my very first attempt at driving an extremely powerful Subaru Impreza WRC……..The action of the the car is emphasised by the tucked in wheels, the flying gravel at the rear and front ( it is 4 wheel drive vehicle) and the flying cones…not to mention my muttered imprecations and my staring eyes…….

INVESTING IN AN ARTWORK.

Anne D'Alton's Artworks, Car illustratiion, illustrtation, motoring artwork, painting, watercolour

Whenever I have an exhibition (as at present) or hold an Open Day in my Studio, one question that is invariably asked is ” are the prices negociable”?   And my answer always, is, YES.     The  Artists amongst you, know, of course, that Artists put a huge amount of time and effort into their artwork but that it is very difficult to quantify in monetary terms, this creative effort.

However, being a pragmatist (and ever optimist…) I realize, that although a work of art may well be worth the figure asked, the buyer, although he or she really wants that artwork, may genuinely not have that asking price available to them, so compromise, within reason,  is a sensible attitude to have towards the sale price.

I feel you will agree that it is better to make a sale and have a happy Client than to make no sale at all.

Some Artists will not agree with me, of that I am certain, but from experience, I have often sent a Client home, delighted with their purchase (and sale

 price ) 0f MY artwork, and  in fact, such sales have resulted in further sales, simply because I am always open to discuss  the price of my work.     Here in France the term “a debattre” is used to cover this transaction and indeed, debating a price (haggling if you like) is extremely popular and leaves both parties satisfied with the result.

So in future when you see a work you really like, but are a little “shy” of the money asked, please contact the Artist, etc., concerned:  the outcome could well enhance your, and that Artists’ life!.
