GREEN SUN - YELLOW SEA - BLUE SAND
we don't have to paint what we see.
Painting and drawing in MILOS and CRETE,
this time on a totally different way with Brian Bagnall

For an accurate rendering of subjects there are cameras.
Include in a painting your impressions, your thoughts, your mood.
Let you stimulate by unusual landscapes and situations, paint
and draw your fantasy. Learn how to simplify, to omit, to exagerate...
and to stop in time. No matter whether you paint landscapes,
people or buildings: every desire will be treated individually.

Brian Bagnall's new DVD just came out in the "Komplett-Media" DVD Series: "Die Kunst der Karikatur" (The Art of Caricature). It doesn't show only how a caricature is born, but explains as well how it can be simplified, what has to be left out and what can be exagerated without losing the resemblance with the illustrated person. More about it here with the example of Dali.
 

The movie of the painting course "Landscape Art in Drawing, Watercolours and Acrylic" has been filmed in Crete as well. Two DVDs have been produced out of the rich material shooted: "Mediterrane Landschaft Kreta 1" and "Mediterrane Landschaft Kreta 2", published by Komplett-Media. Each one is 60 minutes long and is available in shops at Euro 19,95. More information at www.komplett-media.de.

We are planing a new book as well, with the title "Gestern ist Übermorgen". Uschi Bagnall's curious, sometimes even ambiguous short stories are supported by the subtle paintings and drawings of Brian Bagnall. Example here.
