An atelier is a snobby word for an artist’s workshop space. The word studio is from the Italian: studio, and from Latin: studium, from studere, meaning to study or zeal. The word atelier is French for workshop, especially the workroom or studio of a sculptor or painter, 1840, from French atelier, going back to the Old French astelier which was a carpenter’s workshop, woodpile (14c.).
…Everybody got that?

…If you’re a regular V. Notes reader, you know I love posting collections like “drawings of artist’s studios.” I am a little short on time today, and disappointed that I didn’t find more drawings of studios in the time I had available.

It may end up in a future V. Note. Thanks!

Use a soft brush, like a synthetic squirrel tail. (Hint: You’ll need to use thinner paint …
Take a class with SAL – anywhere! People sometimes ask me what painters I like, what paintings I’m inspired by. The paintings tend to be figurative, and lately, they tend to be sexy. Sometimes I choose them for what happens in the paint, sometimes I choose them for what happens with the subject. Often there is a personality in …
I have been sharing some of Carlos San Millan’s favorite painters, and we are nearly to the end of his list. So far I’ve posted Kim Frohsin, Mitchell Johnson, Yann Kebbi, Марина Цветаева (Marina Tsvetyeva), Sangram Majumdar, and Bato Dugarzhapov. Today is an artist who has distilled her painting all the way to the surface of the canvas. When done well, …
