Daily Paintings By Timothy Y Chambers
Posts
Welcome to my blog
I am an artist from New York area,
currently living in New Jersey.
I’ve enjoyed an active career as
an illustrator and graphics artist
in the publishing field for the past
20 years. I did enjoy my career as
an illustrator especially since my
work had much to do with
educational programs.
But in the back of my mind,
I always knew that I needed to get
back to the fundamentals of
painting from life and paint for
myself to grow as an artist. It was
all about "Painting What I See"
not what I know, and not what
someone else showed me.
I started my blog to encourage
myself to paint for myself and
have the progress documented.
By "Painting What I See,"
I endeavor to address two
important issues at the same time.
One is the technical aspect of
following the footsteps of the
19th Century masters, mainly
naturalists, realists, and tonalists
who perfected the impressionistic
vision by close association with
impressionists.
The other is not as easy to define
but in essence has to do with
"seeing beyond the surface."
To understand the soul and
history of the subjects and to
put them on a canvas the way
I see them.
