Andrew Wyeth, american artist
Andrew Wyeth Painting
Andrew Wyeth – American Master Artist  (1917-2009)

He was the quintessential example of a true American artistic genius. He was Andrew Wyeth, my favorite American Artist.  

Andrew’s disciplined artistic journey began as a young boy and his respect for the human spirit never wavered. Andrew Wyeth once said, I search for the realness, the real feeling of a subject, all the texture around it, I always want to see the third dimension of something.  I want to come alive with the object.”  Wyeth's desire was to capture a moment, not a frozen moment, but a fleeting moment. 

If you're going to paint from a photograph, it's important to know the difference between a frozen moment and a fleeting moment. It's the fleeting moment that's wrought with feeling!

CHOOSING A CANVAS SIZE THAT'S IN 
PROPORTION TO YOUR PHOTOGRAPH


If I'm working from a photograph, I show my students how I figure what size canvas I need to make the image much larger and still be in proportion to my photo.

I put my photo in Photoshop and click on "image size".  Photoshop will tell me the current size of the image.  I'll change one of the ratio's to see what the new proportion would be, and so on.

However, most of my students don't have Photoshop.  So, I'm going to share a link with you that will help you determine the canvas size that you'll need.  This link goes to a Giclee maker.  All you need to do is key in the original size of your photo on top and then click on "Calculate".  You'll see the closest whole sizes that your photo will work on if you want to make the image larger.

I hope this helps those of you who don't have a photo program on your computer.  CLICK HERE
