Artist Statement:
WELCOME...
Here's a small sampling of my
work. Please visit my on-line
blog...
http://berkart.blogspot.com/
for a more comprehensive
portfolio.
I've been concentrating on a
theme of the artist & model in
the studio. Here you will find
genre paintings (in addition
to other figurative work) of
dedicated artists sharing the
fee of a model. It's important
for me to capture the
intensity, action and
emotion... both on and off the
podium.
This site will be updated on a
regular basis. After viewing
my work, please feel free to
E-mail your comments. Pricing
information is available upon
request. Don't forget to sign
the "Guest Book" and remember
that exhibitions change
frequently so bookmark this
site and stop back soon.
~ Have a creative day! Chuck
Color-massing Technique ©
C.Berk:
Color-mass painting is the
exact opposite of drawing.
Just because artists use
brushes, doesn't mean that
they’re painting. However,
when scrubbing with a brush,
from the center moving out,
an edge can be created by
juxtaposing one color spot
next to another. Placing a
light against a dark, a cool
against a warm, vague next to
defined, a contour will
emerge.
