House Painting Brushes and How to Select Them
There are two kinds of paint brushes:
one - natural bristle
two - synthetic bristles or nylon
Some time ago the natural bristles brushes were the best, but today with the technological improvements the synthetic brushes are very very good to now.
You cannot use natural bristle brushes using latex paints this will ruin the brush immediately the brush won't be able to work anymore with oil paints properly.
Miniature Painting - Art In Miniature
Summarized briefly, miniature painting is a form of painting that is deeply rooted in many cultures and spans centuries. The Lathams are a family of American artists practicing it in today's modern art market of galleries and exhibitions. As an artist, Rebecca Latham as well as her mother, Karen, and sister, Bonnie, strive for detail in their painting. Studying with a Flemish master, they have developed their styles for painting extreme realism. Their works, both large and small, are painted "in miniature".

Impressionist Paintings
Impressionism was one of the most important art movements in the 19th century that began when a certain section of artists from Paris began a public display of their art. This name was coined after the famous painting of Claude Monet. In the late mid-19th century, artists such as Claude Monet and Pierre-Auguste Renoir began painting in a new style, which was later coined Impressionism. Monet named his painting of a harbor at dawn as Impression: Sunrise. This term was also used by a critic Louis Leroy in a satirical article in Le Charivari to describe the Paris-based artists.Renoir Painting Women Wearing No Clothes
If you wish to see the visual narrative; if you want to see the beauty of poetry painted on canvas; then a look at the paintings done by Renoir would be very much entertaining for your eyes. When we look his figurative paintings on a wall of museum, we feel that we are meeting a real person whose beauty is depicted in a charming way.
Renoir Painting Natural Beauty of Women
There was a time when if a painting adoring natural beauty of a woman were painted, the art critics and viewers felt themselves off-guard. The paintings of a beautiful woman done by Renoir were not the darling of such critics. He had painted many canvases which were subjected to the close scrutiny of critics. They also disliked the movement of impressionism, too. They criticised the whole movement as 'the paint fired onto canvass with a pistol'.
