Michael Nevin - From the Acrylics category:
Wipe or blot a wash tone if an acrylic wash seems too strong; add more washes over the initial one – once it is dry – to darken the color. (Michael Nevin)
Michael Nevin - From the Application category:
Opaque applications are useful in creating high color intensities, a feeling of solidity in forms where desired, and highlights or accents. (Michael Nevin)
Michael Nevin - From the Architecture category:
Although they are not always the primary focus, most of my work contains architectural elements. They suggest a human presence even when no figure is actually seen. (Michael Nevin)
Michael Nevin - From the Beginning category:
Each painting has a promise implicit in its beginnings – make the finished work fulfill that promise. (Michael Nevin)
Michael Nevin - From the Drawing category:
Drawing is the foundation of the painting – to familiarize yourself with the subject and to work out problems of perspective and proportion. (Michael Nevin)
Michael Nevin - From the Form category:
As forms, architectural elements are often complex and invariably interesting foils for light and shadow. (Michael Nevin)
Michael Nevin - From the Materials category:
I frequently use my fingers to blend or soften a wet area... fingers can be useful tools with a rapidly drying medium like acrylic. (Michael Nevin)
Michael Nevin - From the Painting category:
I paint because it's what I love to do. (Michael Nevin)
Michael Nevin - From the Simplicity category:
The simpler the better. (Michael Nevin)
Michael Nevin - From the Subject category:
What I paint is determined by a combination of visual interest and emotional resonance. I usually don't have to go far from home to find a subject that interests me. (Michael Nevin)
