He became a painter at the age of 50, and his paintings were "fake", but they were sought after by 700,000 people! The colors are beautiful in the details

Sometimes painting doesn't really make any sense at all,

You can be a busy painter,

You can also become a casual beauty-appreciating artist;

I can draw a little in my spare time,

Express the most ordinary art with the simplest scenery,

There's no pressure, as long as you can draw.

And the best art is interest,

When as Interest painting has become a career ，

That is undoubtedly the happiest moment in life.

Artists from the United States:

James Musil

Born in western South Dakota in 1975,

Graduated from the University of Minnesota in 1998,

In college, James chose two subjects,

Major computer science is for a better life and rewards,

The love of painting turns into idle pastime and entertainment.

James's family is also an artistic family,

Although my mother was not a great and famous painter,

But her artistic atmosphere deeply infected James,

The ubiquitous art and painting books in the home make James see them everywhere,

So in James naturally learned to draw when he was very young.

When interest becomes a task,

It becomes a stress.

James is very interested in painting itself,

But in college pass Systematic specialization Studying art,

Let James feel a strange distance from his understanding of painting,

Excessive rules, on the contrary, restrain James's imagination and creativity.

From likes to dislikes,

James spent four years in college,

Even because of the gradual disgust, James repeated grade and failed the exam,

All that can remain is the basic skills of painting.

James, who graduated at the age of 23,

He graduated with magna cum laude in computer science, and of course he can pass in painting.

James spent 19 years in the computer industry,

Until 2017, James, 42, regained his paintbrush,

There is no major System Training ，

A painting journey that completely admires freedom.

At the peak of his career,

During James's long family vacation,

He completely put down his thinking about his work,

In Costa Rica, James enjoys a family atmosphere,

Contact with everything in nature,

Painting became his life choice again.

Creative ability in painting is very important,

My mother didn't want James to be a Painting machine,

But the courses on campus cannot be ignored,

Painting survives but doesn't improve,

This is my mother's advice to James as an experienced person,

So when I was at the University of Minnesota,

James chose a double major,

One more skill is one more ability, and one more possibility.

After working for 19 years, James has the desire to become a painter again.

After I came back from my trip, I didn't want to do what I used to do at all. One night, as our family was sitting around watching TV, I was bored and suddenly realized that I could totally draw while watching TV. So, painting became painting, and then it kept painting.

 

▲ Early outdoor sketching

The best thing about painting is that there is no fixed time, place or pattern.

Those painters who love creation,

Anywhere outdoors can be a studio,

And anywhere outdoors can become a landscape in a painting.

Color, atmosphere and movement are the soul elements of painting.

Every time you encounter the scenery, it changes.

And every creation has its own appearance,

This is the interest and significance of sketching.

 

I like to paint real places and things, but I don't particularly care if they are accurate or realistic. In fact, if someone said, "I thought it was a photo at first!", I would find it quite disappointed.

 

Acrylic painting Is his preferred creative tool,

Quick shaping and resistance to discoloration Became James' favorite feature,

You can even use the effect of quick stacking colors.

Instead James doesn't like oil paint Pungent smell,

It's a personal preference, and it doesn't hurt.

After redrawing,

James is basically 2 paintings per week,

It was originally a hobby to find a peaceful life in my spare time,

After sharing it, I received a lot of praise.

Even someone invited to paint works,

It is also considered Accidentally became an artist.

With his unique artistic talent,

use He broke 730,000 fans in 8 years,

Became a highly creative painting artist,

This supernatural landscape and super capture and shaping ability have also won wide attention and exhibition invitation from the media.

▲ James's paintings have rough brushstrokes, without any delicate transition. Although they restore the realistic colors to the extreme, they are far beyond the realistic aesthetic feeling. "Fake is very real", which is very real and beautiful!

James' contemporary color-blocked landscape style,

I.e. no Realistic style,

But in terms of shaping Combining the capture of "instantaneous light and shadow" of modern impressionist parties,

And plane color language and color block summarization of object form,

The collision of high-purity colors and warm and cold colors,

Better highlight the spatial level and atmosphere.

It not only simplifies light and shadow details but also enhances the sense of volume.

Replace the fine brushstrokes of traditional Impressionism with more concise color blocks,

This makes countless people enjoy the scenery in James' paintings,

I also envy him for being super strong Generalize shaping ability 。

Of course, the painter's works are not dominated by painting ability,

Live naturally and take nature,

What is even more memorable about James' paintings is that he tries to create art in ordinary landscapes,

There are no luxurious elements,

But it has luxurious artistic beauty,

Showing his unique artistic talent.
