Due to Corona Virus restrictions, our exhibition at a shopping centre has now gone online. Continuing our shop hire at a major shopping centre my friend Peter and I used to take turns opening the shop on Saturdays. As customers are no longer allowed to visit non essential shops we have put our exhibition online.
A complete set of the works will be shown within the next few days.

In these trying times art has to come second. So here is some information I have collected on the virus outbreak which might be of interest to you. Just my thoughts and I am not a medical expert. So there is no guarantee that everything I´ve said is gospel.
At times like these, maybe Europe brings hope. See what the European Anthem does to people
Every month the international group of artists AERA present a member on German TV.

In my series of films on a German tv channel I present artists belonging to AERA the Association Embracing Realist Art. The films are being broadcast several times a month. Members have their work put in front of a wide audience. German subtitles are added where necessary to make it accessible to viewers who are less fluent in English. The productions are not only shown on the German TV channel several times over but they have also been entered into the station´s free public media library.
Furthermore Zattoo offer a live stream for subscribers in Europe. You can register for free. It will give you access to 89 tv channels. One of them is NRWision which features our AERA programmes several times a month.

Continuing our shop hire at a major shopping centre my friend Peter and I take turns opening the shop on Saturdays. Today it is my turn again. Hoping for customers to come out despite virus scare everywhere.
We have had quite a few visitors in previous weeks. We have both been able to sell paintings too. One of the visitors also came to attend our art club last night.

Today I have chosen another painting exercise by Michael James Smith. In this 8 minute time lapse and speed painting video he shows us how to paint an autumn tree. It is a detailed realistic painting. It will work both with oils and acrylics. The full 5 hour lesson is available for free from his website.
Hope you like my choice of the day.

This information will be useful to people who want to find the right market for their products. It tells social media users how to connect with their audience.
Although it is not art specific it should work for artists too.
As this blog is meant for artists as well as art lovers it may help both. Artists and collectors will learn how to meet and interact online.

Herdin Radtke
Today I should like to introduce you to the painter Herdin Radtke. As you will have read in previous posts he was the artist I shared a booth with at the Creativa Arts Fair in 2018.
Herdin is a life-long artist who started out on his own after learning from other professionals. He sold his first paintings to a gallery early on in his career and went on to paint and sell his works in Rome. He later moved to Spain living next door to Salvador Dali for six years. He was even commissioned to restore some of Dali´s older paintings.
Herdin also spent many years in France where he still owns a house. Today he lives in his native country Germany. He teaches oil painting in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and France with the occasional trip to Marocco. Herdin has developed a special approach to blending oils allowing his students to achieve very encouraging results in a single course. He is the author of a number of books on oil painting. He has developed several painting DVDs with instructions on various subjects from apples to candles and floral still lifes.
If you are interested please contact Herdin. Being a well-travelled veteran of the arts world he speaks several languages including English so by all means write to him.
