Original Artwork Painting, Watercolor / Gouache

Artworks classification

Original Artwork

Original Artwork refers to any work that is considered authentic and not a copy or imitation of the original works of an artist. Original artwork can be any type of painting, sculpture, performance, or other media. There are many types of original media. Mixed media includes oil, acrylic, and watercolor paintings. For workshop paintings that bear evidence of master craftsmanship, this attribution must be further qualified. While they may be less valuable for different reasons, reproductions and copies have had a tremendous impact on our experience. They reach a greater audience than originals and act as a tonic against commodification. Original Artwork could also refer to the first work, which is always preceding all others. It could also refer to a prototype or a model from which other works can be made. Each work bears great similarities to the original.

Cette peinture, "L'Étoile de Bethléem" d'Edward Burne-Jones, est une œuvre riche en détails et en symbolisme, représentant la nativité de Jésus avec une exécution artistique profonde. Au centre, la Vierge Marie, vêtue de bleu, tient l'enfant Jésus, tandis qu’un ange aux grandes ailes et aux vêtements bleutés se tient près d'eux, tenant une étoile lumineuse. À gauche, un berger approche, apportant une brassée de bois, tandis qu'à droite, trois rois mages, richement habillés, offrent leurs présents précieux. L’ensemble est entouré d'un paysage boisé et d'une végétation florissante, ajoutant à la scène un air de paix et de sainteté.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Watercolor

Watercolor is a painting in which gum arabic binds transparent pigments revealing the support of the painting. The gouache, of identical composition, is opaque. A watercolor is a water-based painting on paper. We rarely speak of a painting for a work painted in watercolor. Watercolor paintings are considered to be a unique way to creatively represent dreams, illusions, emotions and luminous feelings using water soluble pigments. However, painting with watercolors can be difficult. It's a difficult medium to master, in large part because it can be ruthless and unpredictable. Mistakes are difficult to correct and its fluid nature makes it difficult to control. Yet it is these very qualities that give the medium its undeniable charm.

Gouache

The substances are diluted with water and rendered pasty and opaque by the addition of gum and honey. The colors become opaque and can, therefore, be superimposed, which makes one paint with gouache as with oil. The gouache is recommended by its bright, fresh and delicate tones.

Technic Painting

Painting is an art form of painting on a surface by aesthetically applying colored fluids. Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.

Edward Burne-Jones

United Kingdom

Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones, peintre et designer britannique, a vécu du 28 août 1833 au 17 juin 1898. Il était membre de la confrérie préraphaélite, qui comprenait également Dante Gabriel Rossetti, John Millais, Ford Madox Brown et Holman Hunt. Burne-Jones est l'un des associés fondateurs de la société Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co. avec William Morris. Cette société fabriquait des objets d'art décoratif.Les peintures de Burne-Jones montrent l'influence de Dante Gabriel Rossetti, mais en 1870, il avait trouvé son propre style. Huit de ses peintures à l'huile ont été exposées à la Grosvenor Gallery en 1877. (nouvelle rivale de la Royal Academy). L'une d'entre elles était L'ensorcellement de Merlin. Burne-Jones a été choisi au bon moment comme chef de file et star du nouveau mouvement esthétique.Burne-Jones a travaillé comme designer pour un large éventail d'objets artisanaux dans le studio de Morris and Co. Il a notamment réalisé des carreaux de céramique, des bijoux, des tapisseries et des mosaïques. Ses dessins pour les vitraux, qui sont redevenus populaires au XIXe siècle, comptent parmi ses œuvres les plus importantes et les plus durables. Aujourd'hui encore, on peut admirer ses créations dans les églises de tout le Royaume-Uni, ainsi qu'aux États-Unis et en Australie.
