If the "aim of art is to represent" the "inward significance" of objects, then how can artists make their oil and acrylic paintings sing? Colorado artist, Nathan Solano, uses an unconventional method of underlying nuance of color to bring harmony into the compositions.

PR9.NET February 02, 2006 - Pueblo, Colorado - Do your fine art paintings display nuances like musical harmonies? Can you blend oil and acrylics to create symphonic results? How could using depth, soft and hard edges and underlying colors help you achieve vocal, nearly lyrical qualities in your paintings?

The unconventional techniques used by Colorado artist Nathan Solano transforms mere still-lifes and figure paintings into operatic choruses of rhythm and color.

Faithful to Aristotle's dictum, "The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.", Solano, adds depth, edge and layers to his work just like Ravel's musical Bolero.

Nathan uses oils with an underlying red wash to make his paintings sing - he teaches students how to employ his methods and uses live models and still-life set-ups for his daily demonstrations.

Under Solano's guidance, artists work on achieving soft and hard edges, discovering proper values, and building a strong composition.

Nathan shows beginning through advanced students how to work in stages on two or more paintings at a time, beginning with a solid drawing, then an initial color wash, and finally a wash plus dark color.

Solano only paints with oils however students may use oils or acrylics in the class.

This February 2006, Art in the Aspens will host a fine art painting workshop taught by oils and acrylic artist, Nathan Solano, at the Red Raven Studio, in Pueblo, Colorado. More information about this workshop can be found by visiting the Art in the Aspens website:
