Bridger Barksdale, a 25-year-old artist living in Utah, had never traveled across the Atlantic before when a friend of his, in Kiev, convinced him to come to Ukraine for a visit in 2020. “I ended up staying there for three months,” he says. When we consider the beauty of place and what inspires our art, it is hard to wrap our heads around the impermanence of what we have experienced. This becomes especially difficult when war becomes part of the conversation.

Watercolor artist Mary Whyte hopes to help you create your best. In "Blue Umbrella," pictured here, she exemplifies movement. “Having a sense of movement in a painting is one way to add interest. Even if nothing is actually moving in the scene, leading the viewer’s eye through the pictorial space in a rhythmic and continuous manner will give the painting its own sense of motion and life. Here, I created the feeling of rain using water-soluble crayons mixed with watercolor washes.” Art Watercolor, Watercolor Portraits, African American Art, African Art, American Women, Black Art, Best Painting Ever, Art Amour, Umbrella Art

"Watercolor allows me to make my own response to what I see and feel. Specifically, certain landscapes in the U.K. have become favorites because of proximity or family holidays. I know their vistas and details intimately. With that being said, why is it that some paintings are deemed to be atmospheric, while others aren’t? Atmosphere in a painting is, with a few exceptions, not about technique. First and foremost, it’s your connection to the place that matters." ~ Oliver J.

The late Richard Yarde wasn’t interested in making art for art’s sake. His imagery tells a story that’s intimate, personal, and connected to his real-life experience. “When all is said and done, I see the most important thing I have to offer is my art, which is an act of meditation between myself and the awesome mystery of creation.” - Richard Yarde New York Studio, High Art, Black Artists, Online Painting, French Artists, Community Art
