Step by Step Acrylic Painting Demo – “Crab Nebula”
About Alizey Khan
My name is Alizey Khan; I am a professional astronomical and abstract painter and printmaker. I was born and raised in the United Kingdom, moved to Pakistan for a few years in middle school, and have lived in America since 2005. I am now based out of Charleston, South Carolina, where I received a degree in Studio Art from the College of Charleston.
The properties of light and spatial depth are the focus of my work, using thinly layered colours to convey a sense of spatial vastness. To this end, I paint astronomical phenomena, which allow for the greatest exploration of light in an incomprehensibly immense space. I strive to visually depict natural processes beyond ordinary human experience to instil in the viewer a sense of curiosity and wonder regarding the universe around us.
I have been interested in astronomy and the wonders of the universe since I was a child. The mysteries of outer space inspire me as an artist because I feel that we as humans get so stupidly caught up in what goes on in our little societies that we forget that we’re just anthills in the scope of the universe. I paint my little galaxies and nebulae and stars to remind myself that there is so much out there we don’t know and haven’t experienced, and we never will unless we collectively start prioritizing the pursuit of knowledge over fighting for resources.

About Brian Simons
Being a self-taught artist, I have derived much of my inspiration from the “Group of Seven”, the French Impressionists and the Writings of Baha’u'lla’h (Bahá’í Faith). My family and I moved to Vancouver Island from Alberta, where I first began to paint approx. 25 years ago. Prior to that time, I focused mostly on drawing and sketching. I began showing my work in 1988 and have been represented by numerous galleries on the Island. From 2006 to the present, I paint on a full-time basis and have had many successes and confirmations in that period, including numerous commissions for a television production company, architects several corporate and private collectors both in Canada and the United States. I also conduct acrylic painting workshops British Columbia, Alberta and the United States….

Acrylic Painting Demonstration by Faith Puleston
About Faith
I was born and raised in Wales UK and studied at the Royal Academy of Music, London. I came to Germany to pursue an operatic career as a mezzo soprano and sang over 100 opera roles, including title roles such as Carmen, Joan of Arc and Oktavian in Der Rosenkavalier. Other professional occupations have include voice teacher, chorus director, language teacher and writer.
I have been writing stories plays and poetry, making music and painting for as long as I can remember. Most of my early poetry has been lost. Serious dedication to painting followed from the year 2000 to fill in the spiritual vacuum left from no longer working in the theatre. The empty canvas is like a stage. It’s up to the performer to give it life and light!
Paintings can be seen on my website at http://www.redbubble.com/people/faithart as well as numerous other online venues such as my blogs: http://faithpuleston.blogspot.com/ , http://faithpuleston.blogspot.com/ (the main one) and http://fapj.blogspot.com/ (extra for writing)..
