A - Geometric abstract art is an art style that relies on the use of geometric shapes and forms typically in a nonrepresentational or abstract form of rendering. The emphasis is also on the lack of three-dimensional space lacking the depth of field found in conventional art such as representational landscapes for example.  Part of this is in recognition of the limitations of the art medium mainly canvas and paper. However, geometric abstract art does appear in many three dimensional mediums such as sculpture.

He is notable for the mass marketing of his work as printed reproductions. Characterizing himself as Thomas Kinkade, Painter of Light, Kinkade found he was inspired not by fame and fortune, but the simple act of painting straight from the heart, putting on canvas the natural wonders and images that moved him most. It was this dedication and singular-minded focus on the ultimate goal of Sharing the Light that made Thomas Kinkade, a simple boy with a brush from the small country town of Placerville, California the most-collected living artist of his time.  Throughout his life, Thomas Kinkade shared his joy and used his paints in support of hospitals, schools, and humanitarian relief. A devout and loving family man, Kinkade's devotion to his family inspired him to add symbols of his love to his artwork. This includes hidden Ns and the numbers 5282 as a tribute to his wife, Nanette, and their anniversary. Additionally, Kinkade's four daughters were also included in his artistic process- after the birth of each of his daughters with adoring images in each of their namesake. Thomas Kinkade, the Painter of Light, emphasized simple pleasures and inspirational messages through his art and the branded products created from that art. From textiles to collectibles, to music and books, Thom gave credit to a higher power for both the ability and the inspiration to create his paintings. His goal as an artist, who was Christian, was to touch people of all faiths, to bring peace and joy into their lives through the images he had

Can an eraser be used for drawing?

Today's Art Q and A

Q - Can an eraser be used for drawing?

A - Erasers can be used for negative drawing in graphite. Erasers are very effective in emphasizing the light source in a pencil drawing. Using an eraser to highlight reflections or areas on the outside of a figure is very effective. Negative drawing on lettering also works very well and can be more pleasing to the eye than a positive rendering of letters. Erasers can be used for blending out or creating a gradient effect in a drawing. Another use for drawing with an eraser is in creating texture by using short or even long negative strokes in a graphite drawing.
