Vermeer (1632 – December 1675)
This is a channel dedicated to artists and paintings.
Some artists paint in oils, while others may prefer watercolours or acrylic paints. The preference of media is a personal choice of the artist. It is the media that an artist feels best interprets and produces the message he wants to share with the world.
From simple beginnings and hours of frustration, an artist develops a unique way of projecting his creative thoughts onto a sheet of canvas, paper or other media. His grasp of techniques, use of tools and most importantly his ability to see colours and shapes in a unique way gives him a special gift that allows him to interpret his feeling and thoughts in his paintings.
The value of any creation is priceless. Apart from the time and effort that is put into a painting, there is a 'soul' in the painting that is beyond monetary value.
