Updates & tips from Froshay Fine Art
Local Artist Makes Good!
Well it's good news folks! We're off and running and making headlines!
Smash HIT!
Our "Meet the Artists Night Party" hosted by Steffanino's in Costa Mesa was a huge success! Charlene Hasketh, President of All Wall Graphics
made the exciting announcement for Marsha Tudor's il Barone showing and
shared with us all the work that was involved to get Tudor's show
created.
I want to thank everyone who came. It was great fun for me to see so many of my students checking out the professional art scene.
Watch Us Grow
Those of you who have been following the ArtBIZ will be excited to congratulate Marsha and attend her Artist Reception.
Here's our most recent Success Solution:
MARSHA TUDOR
Now Showing through May 20, 2011
at il Barone
Dramatic black backgrounds focus attention on exquisitely rendered surfaces.
Stark white backgrounds provide illumination for transparency and shadow.
Marsha Tudor pushes the boundaries of her medium with her use of transparency and superb layering as she creates lush, naturally organic and dramatically breathtaking images using flowers, seedpods, leaves, and her flat-bed scanner.
One of the Best in Her Field
Her technique is referred to as Scanography or Scanner Photography and
Tudor is one of the best in her field. Marsha uses the scanner as a
macro camera with an extremely high resolution and shallow depth of
field.
Tudor meticulously scans, rearranges and scans again, cleaning the glass each time. Because her scans are of a much higher resolution than most, "They have to be perfect and clean," says Tudor, "because, every bit of dirt and sand is magnified, even if they're not visible to the eye."
Everything is Perfect
Once satisfied, Tudor begins the slow, meticulous process of fixing
flaws, repairing tears or spots and cleaning up dust and specks. "In my
digital world," she says, "every thing is perfect."
Marsha then spends hours exploring layering, translucency, inversions and more (hey, we can't give you all her secrets), to create just the right atmospheric feeling.
Tudor's imagery has been referred to as "mysterious, other-worldly and sensual" by her many followers, as I'm sure you'll agree!
If you haven't seen Marsha's work before, then take a few moments to relax and enjoy her breathtaking work by Visiting Her youtube Video

What’s the Best Lighting for Showing Artwork?
Natural lighting is of course, the best lighting to work in when you are creating any art. However, there is no simple or correct answer for lighting your completed artworks. Understanding theses differences should help you to decide.
Oil, canvas, pigment and papers are sensitive materials and will deteriorate when exposed to UV light. Infrared isn't as damaging, but does produce heat which will dry out canvas and crack the paint.
Natural Sunlight
Natural light contains ultraviolet and infrared rays, which can damage
works of art. Works on paper (watercolors, prints, photographs, etc) and
fabrics are especially vulnerable and can fade rather quickly -
especially in direct sunlight. Sunlight's ability to render color is
unmatched because of it's perfect blend of all natural colors of the
spectrum, but for lighting art, it's out of the question.
Fluorescent Light
How many of you work under fluorescent lighting all day? Fluorescent
lights give off high amounts of ultra violet rays. Not as high as
sunlight, true, but high enough to be harmful. They also don't emit
light across the entire color spectrum. Have you ever noticed how
fluorescent office lighting adds a grayish cast to your complexion? –
Well it does the same for the artwork!
Incandescent Light
Incandescent lighting enhances warm colors in artwork and washes out the
cool colors. If effectively flattens the look of compositions that are
predominantly blue, green, purple, etc. While incandescent is less
harmful than fluorescent or natural lighting, it's still a poor solution
for showing off your artwork. However…. WE look MUCH better under
incandescent lighting (and even better under candlelight….)!
Halogen Light
Halogen light emits a strong, white light that renders color at levels
near that of sunlight. When used in lighting paintings, a low watt
halogen based bulb needs to be filtered, adjustable, dime-able and kept
indirect. Indirect lighting is less harmful and hot spots are EXTREMELY
bad.
Solution?
The best solution may be a combination of indirect, low watt, filtered
halogen and incandescent lighting. Whatever you do, keep your work out
of direct sunlight and watch for that ‘bouncing' sunlight.

7 Days to a Better Career - Day 7
Persistence Pays!
Be persistent. Every successful person has failed a bunch of times
first. If you keep trying different things, you'll find one that
works and once you do… you'll forget about the failures.
If you give up, you'll remember only the failures.
Day 7 - HANG IN THERE - EACH DAY IS A NEW DAY
Consistent work (it doesn't have to be hard), along with effective planning and ENTHUSIASM will bring success. Figure out your goals, commit to them and allow nothing to stand in your way. Keep your vision in sight.
Keeping Positive
Face it, we're Artists and that makes us sensitive to moods. There will
be days when you'll notice that you're feeling bad - feelings that may
include frustration, anger, sadness, feeling lost or of being
overwhelmed. When this happens ask yourself:
"What am I focusing on right now?"
You'll discover that what you're thinking about is what you don't want.
When you get caught in this negative thinking groove of only seeing what you don't want, you become trapped in victim-hood. Allowing yourself to play victim keeps you in a circle of attracting more of the same negative things into your life and you aren't able to move forward until you change your thoughts.
A quick way to stop the negative cycle is to ask yourself:
"What do I want?"
Be wary of this thought trap: "What do I want? … Well, I want to NOT be in this situation!" Notice that this is still focusing on where you don't want to be.
Focus on what you DO want - you'll find that this subtle switch will change your whole point of view.
Find a Coach
Effective coaches are valuable resources who can propel you to success.
Advice, experience, encouragement, and guidance of a veteran in the
field can mean the difference between follow-through and failure.
However, to profit from coaching, you must:
- Be Willing to Try New Things
If you just want to keep doing the same things you've always done, what's the point to coaching? You have to be willing to step out of your comfort zone and you must…
- Be Willing to Take Action
Action is the KEY to success. No action = no results. You have to be willing to move on your dreams. If you're not ready to take action, then don't hire a coach.

Art Class Reviews
Over the last 5 years she has been a most wonderful mentor, teacher, counselor and most of all a friend. Her advice and incredible talent have been absolutely wonderful in helping to shape my creativity. Wendy somehow manages to expertly teach a room full of students w...ho are all at different levels, giving each person exactly what they need at that moment without over-doing it or under-doing it. I have completed many wonderful oil paintings during my time with Wendy and I received so many compliments from lots of people. She showed me things I'd never noticed, things that make each painting unique. It was incredible how much my art improved from each class to the next! I have more confidence and I'm more excited about practicing now because of how much I've improved. I really enjoy her teaching style. Wendy has a wonderful sense of the intuitive with her teaching and seems to know just what each student needs. This is a rare gift in an instructor!
