Description of the Artwork “BLUE DREAM IN THE OCEAN”

Painting: Acrylic, Gesso, aluminium on Canvas, Aluminium. Syeda Ishrat is a contemporary Abstract-Expressionist painter best known for her equine art. Many of her paintings are non-representational, but there is a reoccurring equine motif in the work. The devotion and familiarity of horses is an enduring constant in her life, so it seems only natural for her to use it to explore the painting process. I painted this painting with Platte knifes, Royal brushes for blending some places of painting. I paste aluminium on horse body.

About the artist
Syeda Ishrat

Syeda Ishrat, Pakistan

I am Ishrat Ishtiaq.I am self-taught a fine Artist and Calligrapher, born in 12 October.I am Pakistani Female Artist. I consider myself a ‘self-taught’ artist. What does this mean? Essentially, it means I have had very little formal training in art/painting. I took art in high school, and very briefly in college, before switching to psychology for some reason, but since then, everything I’ve learnt has been through self-guided learning, using books, videos, informal online courses, and a large dose of trial-and-error (heavy on the error!) So in a sense, I have been taught by the people who wrote those books and made those videos/courses, but not directly, and the ‘self-taught’ label applies more to the self-directed nature of the learning. I chose what to learn and when, and at what pace. I wasn’t following a curriculum, or being told exactly what to study. As such, my learning has been sporadic, and I’ve been known to go for months at a time without picking up a brush/pencil (although I’m getting into a more regular routine these days). How to be a self-taught artist Here are some of the most beneficial resources I’ve used in my learning path so far. I hope you’ll find them equally useful. Learning to draw: The first step in becoming a good (representational) artist, is learning to draw accurately. (This may not apply to more abstract/modern art, but it may still help to have a solid drawing foundation). By far the best resource I’ve used to improve my drawing skills is the book Sadequain Paintings". This book changed the way I approached drawing, teaching me the skill of ‘seeing’ as much as drawing itself. Learning to paint I actually started out painting entirely through trial and error, without even reading a book. I just bought some painting materials and dived into it. Finding good painting instruction outside of a formal setting has actually been more of a challenge. Videos: Learning to paint fr om a book obviously has certain limitations. You can’t see the artist in action, you only see the result of their actions, and it can be difficult to describe the technique of a brushstroke in printed words, so it helps immeasurably to watch videos of artists painting. Copying If the video is part of a course or workshop, then it’s most likely intended for you to paint along with the artist. Some videos are just demonstrations, wh ere the artist might try to describe their thought process, but it’s not necessarily intended as a ‘lesson’. Even with these videos, I’ve found it helps a lot to paint along with the video, and try to emulate the techniques of the artist. Watching a video is fine, but it’s nothing compared to what you’ll learn if you actually try to paint as that artist paints. Practicing: The most important aspect of ‘teaching yourself art’, is ensuring you get enough practice. You need to set aside time regularly to devote to practicing the things you’ve learnt, until they become second nature. A great way to practice drawing is by finding a local life-drawing class/session (it doesn’t need to be run by an art teacher, as long as you get chance to practice your drawing). It’s also a good way to meet fellow art enthusiasts. I’ve recently started getting up at 6am to get some painting time in before starting work. I found myself in an unfavourable routine of painting for a week or two and then stopping for a few weeks, and I realised that I wasn’t going to magically find more time to paint. I had to make the time, so I made a deliberate change to my daily routine, which has enabled me to do more painting in the last few months than I probably did in the previous couple of years. You will never find time for anything. If you want time, you must make it. ~ Charles Buxton I’d love to hear from other self-taught artists.
