Amazing Landscape Painting Demo by Artist Maxim Grunin

I often browse around YouTube and other video sharing websites in search of new talent to post here on my blog.  Today I hit the motherload!   The following is a two part video demonstration of a landscape by the amazingly talented artist Maxim Grunin.  I was in absolute awe when I watched Maxim create this work of art in what seems like a matter of hours.  When you see the finished product you will be amazed as well.  The finished painting looks as though it took months or even years to create. It looks so complicated but Maxim makes it look so easy.  I think we can all learn a thing or two from this artist. I do hope you enjoy this demonstration as much as I did and I hope this inspires you to create something as equally amazing as this. Read more

Landscape Painting Demonstration by Dan Schultz

Artist’s Statement

Dan in his StudioVisual art is a language — a means of communication. As an artist, I realize that something is communicated through my work each time it is viewed whether it’s what I want to communicate, or something entirely different that is brought to the experience by the viewer. But as I communicate using this visual language through images of people, images of landscapes, and sometimes images that combine the two, I hope to relate to others the beauty of God’s creation and that through it, I believe he communicates with us. I feel that it is my responsibility to help remind others of the importance of visual art and that it can be admired, embraced, enjoyed and understood.
