I’m Trying Art Licensing

mariekazalia — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 18:42:36 +0000

I am signing an art licensing contract with a company that will produce small, medium and large format reproductions of 3 of my paintings as home decor for buyers who cannot normally afford large artwork, creating options for them to buy my art at very affordable price ($35-$50 per small-scale print; $100-$150 per medium; $190 – $220 per large-scale reproduction). The contract pays a percentage (royalties) on each sale. Here is one of 3 they selected:

Light Over Dark on Mulberry Paper

mariekazalia — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 14:40:43 +0000

The conventional wisdom is to only post your best work online. But, I painted this last week and want to *look* at it. One way for me to look is post the image here. This is a mixed media painting on a sheet Thai Unryu Mulberry paper (24 x 37 inches). The texture in this painting is due to the qualities of the paper and add further interest in this artwork. I painted this one in several layers beginning with watercolor paint, then gouache and then acrylic. The transparent yellow overlaps the dark to create what is known as a Verdaccio tone, which is a rich earthy green. Verdaccio is an anciently used paint tone traditionally created by mixing yellow ochre with black. In this case I created the verdaccio with an overlay of transparent yellow rather than mixing the two colors together. The geometric forms in this painting derive from paper lanterns that I constructed from my old watercolor paintings. One summer, I created one lantern each day (it took about one hour to make one lantern)–that was my goal. After a few weeks I had no more watercolor paintings to cut up for lantern-making. I lit my paper lanterns with candles outdoors in my garden to photograph at night. A few years later I deconstructed the lanterns and began incorporating them into my paintings in various ways.

Reviewing Past Experiments on Paper

While going through some of my mixed media experiments on paper, from 2008 and 2009, I found a few worth looking at again. This first image is a painting of layered forms and consists of primarily watercolor,pencil, acrylic paints.

Painting in the Round

In 2008, I experimented with round mold-formed watercolor paper. This paper is 15 1/2 inches across, heavily sized, has slightly irregular edges and is quite thick and stiff.

Here are two:
