Cheap Artist Sketches From Gallery Artists & Discount Sketches

Now with free shipping

Why So Cheap? Exclusive Canvas Art realizes that not everyone is ready to purchase a masterpiece, not everyone has the money to spend on art in the current economy, and some simply like sketch art. So, we have created a new product with both you and our artists in mind. We have collated tons of sketch art from our artists in all sorts of charcoal materials (vine charcoal, etc) pastel materials (oil pastels, pressed pastels,etc), and other paint materials (toned washes, turpentine thinned oil paints, and watered down acrylics).

We are passing almost 100% of the cost you pay directly back to the artist (not including shipping). We know that there are many artists with slow times, and there are numerous costs that the artists must incur to keep a studio running, prepare lots of canvases, paintings, and create prints for the summer festivals.

This is our way of giving back to our artists.

Artists Sketch packs may come from different artists. Although we make every attempt to keep them as units and retain cohesiveness.

Paper Sketch packs may be on different paper types. We have supplied textured woven thick art paper to the artists, but have NOT obligated them to use it for these sketches.

Art Detail Sketches may be done at all levels of detail. Some may be quick gestures, other may be focused on line with varying dimensions of pressure, while others may only have mass to them. There may be art that was done on locations, en plein air, and others may have been done in the studio with meticulous details.

Styles The variety in styles are also as numerous as the sketches we have available.

Sizes Sketches are in numerous sizes. We have requested our artist send in their sketches ranging from mini art (~2 inches) up to poster size (2'x3'). These will also be chosen randomly.

The current economy has led Exclusive Canvas Art, a Chicago Art Gallery, to create a super cheap way for you to purchase wonderfully intimate works by rising artists. In an up-to-date, and in-depth assessment we take you through some of the processes we considered while creating this new, and exciting sketch and drawing deal. We will cover the state of the current economy on artists, how numerous art galleries have used their already struggling and contracted artists to keep the gallery afloat. We will cover how galleries are using fresh artists to help generate an income stream to pay for their own overhead costs. Furthermore, we will discuss the various mannerisms, peculiarities, and properties of a sketch. What makes a drawing or sketch an important and very vital tool for both the artist and the lover of artwork. Enmeshed within the writing we hope that you can get a glimpse of the complexities of each of our artists, including the developmental stages of an artists development. Hopefully it will help you apply it to your child or students. We hope to help you gain a better feel for what it means to be an artists, and to learn a little about the way an artist thinks, views the world, and hopefully isolates certain items, ideas, or concepts which to ultimately paint. It is these items which eventually crawl their way into our main gallery. Take a moment to read this diverse and in-depth article, and then please make a purchase to help our artists pay some of the bills many of us take for granted on a monthly basis. We have created an huge amount of packages with the cheapest one beginning at only $10, there is no excuse to not help. We should note that, aside from shipping, we practically give the artist 99% of these purchases. We thank you for reading, and hope you can gain something valuable from the methods our artists use on a daily basis. It is our desire to give you a way to bring some of that into your home at a very affordable price.

Exclusive Canvas Art, a Chicago Art Gallery has generated a new product to help their artists when it hurts the most. During these economic times there were many galleries that closed down, merged, or changed tactics to stay afloat. But, there were others that have hung on by their fingernails. A few of them have done this by taking it out on their artists; those who are their life-blood and are obligated to coexist. What those galleries have done was use certain underhanded tactics on their unsuspecting artists. Some of these methods were hidden, and others were blatant. Take for example, the gallery in Chicago who choose to create what have become known as pseudo-fake exhibitions. What happens here is that the galleries who were known during the economic boom as being fair to artists, and buyers, began to create more juried openings for their already established shows. More shows are seemingly a wonderful things! On the surface it should be noted that there are more during the past 3 years that went from being part time involved in creating art and paintings (they also can be known as Sunday painters or weekend artists) to more of an absolute necessity. This necessity is not about the emotional well-being of the person while generating art. But, it is due to a lost job, decreased income if commission based, or perks being reduced (such as health insurance, cell-phones or utilities being paid for by companies) and other economical or financially generated problems. This increase in artists was also due to the older, retired, generations, coming out of retirement due to financial scandals or the flux of the market. And lastly, it was due to the sheer volume of people who lost their jobs and need an income. But, what was happening behind the scenes was that the number of artists represented in the shows were actually smaller than in previous years. This was simply as a result of the new numbers showing that fewer buyers were around to purchase high end fine-art. This reduction in purchases of artwork meant that those galleries needed fewer acknowledged and successful artist on their juried panels because fewer artists were going to ultimately be in the actual show. The smaller art shows, and exhibitions also meant fewer overhead dollars spent on the management of the shows (with the exception of the marketing dollars, but numbers have also shown that the internet has reduced these overall costs). But, this huge number of new artists also meant that more art was coming in to be viewed. At a few dollars per piece to be juried it can turn into a healthy profit stream when managed correctly. This has helped keep the gallery afloat. But, there were other tactics in play which hurt the artists; such as the rewriting of contracts. A few examples presented to us were the contracts that ones that requested art remain with the galleries for longer periods of time, however with fewer weeks on the exposed walls due to the increased amount of art sitting around, and of course some galleries reduced the percentages going to the artists. There were also heavy crackdowns on those who tried to sell their art themselves as numerous contracts prohibit any new art from being sold without the involvement of the galleries, or at minimum the percentages being given to them regardless of the work they may have done in that specific sale, which is usually argued by the marketing costs to increase exposure of that artist which may have contributed to the sale.

The bottom line here is that it is very difficult for artists in good economical times, and it is even more so in these difficult economic times. We, here at Exclusive Canvas Art have decided to find a way to help our artists. Some of the key elements was that we didn't want to make the artists take any more time out of their already stressed day to generate new art (which can be detrimental to the creative flow of the artists). Nor did we want to increase the amount we take from our artists, and furthermore we refused to reduce the amount given to them from pre-established percentages. So our think-tank of Chicago working artists came up with the idea of collecting, and creating a streamlined method of collating their sketches. We realized that there were huge amounts of people who both enjoy sketch art, and also enjoy art, but can not purchase larger or more original pieces of artwork at this time. We decided to take the materials that helped them generate the final artwork on a secondary contact. We then established a page on our website to sell their sketches in random batches. The art is profiled and grouped randomly. They are on different types of paper, and in all sorts of styles and sizes. The mediums of choices are vastly different, and the locations these were generated at are as varied as the artists themselves. Our artists are always on the cutting edge of being famous artists, well known artist, and art super-stars, with national and international acknowledgments. This means that many of these sketches have a potential to become very valuable in the future. These can be looked at as an art investment, or just as an affordable way to keep collecting art. It can be used to dress up your decor and home, or as a way to collect the fluid and free expressions of our artists at a time when they need it most.

Many of our artists have told us of the way they will use this needed money. Here is a small list, please understand that these are real needs by real people. They will be used to pay for classes, continuing education, loans for school, health insurance, mortgages, children's needs, spouses, little gifts to build relationships or remember those who help them most, and surprises for loved ones. It will be used for special birthdays, and vacations, and much needed supplies. It will be used for creating more art that can be used during these upcoming summer months at festivals, and it will be used to purchase booths at the festivals. Some will need it to purchase processing equipment to accept credit cards. Our artists will use this money to help them pay for items that help them get creative, and it will be used for utilities such as Internet, telephones, and heat in their homes. There are even some who need it to live month-to-month and help them pay rent. As you can tell these are all real world issues, and our artists will not forget those who helped them in their most needed times.

But, what is it about drawings, sketches, and gestures captured on paper that's special? Why would you purchase something seemingly half-baked such as a sketch? What makes it lovely to look at? What does the sketching process mean to the artist, and what should the drawing mean to you? How can you learn from the lines, mass, and dimensionality, and what are the techniques used to create it? What sort of mediums are used, and on what mediums are they created on?

What sort of mediums are used, and on what mediums are they created on? Many of our artist are just like you when it comes to doodling when bored, or when mindlessly sketching while on the phone. Hopefully none have drawn on the bathroom wall. There are a ton of different forms of drawing and sketching and I'm pretty sure you may have tried your hand at at least some of the art forms available. Regardless, it's always a good idea to start with the basics. There are tools like pencils, pens, or markers, and certainly crayons. Although you may have played with these tools, you may not have had the success you would preferred. This is mainly due to the idea that drawing transcends all of these specifics forms. It's not about the instrument used to put marks on the paper. Drawing freely is about letting the mind give some sort of shape, mass, and form on paper. Since the simplest type of drawing is with a pencil this is what you may see a lot of by our artists. Although, we will cover the reasons for using other sketching tools later on. The pencil is easy to carry, and is not nearly as messy as charcoal or other forms of sketch material. Furthermore, the pencil, although there are various forms of hardness which lend itself to leaving different amounts of charcoal or graphite rubbed onto the paper, is in only one color; unlike the marker which makes it difficult to sketch with in so many colors when on the move. In general, the pencil drawings help the artist build confidence, as there are very few barriers to it's use. It lets them cheaply and freely try all sorts of variation of what they see in-font of them. Most artists will begin with the pencil since they, just like you, have been using it all their life, and of course, it works with almost any paper type. It should be noted that with more pencil use the more an artist will enhance their drawings. This of course leads to more energetic and emotional works that seem so simple when glanced at. When an artist begins to draw there are numerous things that demand their attention. What makes an artist better is when the sketching turns from a deep and laborious process to a swift and effortless sketch. There are so many decisions and choices to make, such as, where a line goes, how hard to make it, whether to include certain details or the style of the marks, and many more. When the artist's mind can roam freely the most wonderful and free drawings are generated. The pencil can actually help allow for this freeing of the mind during the sketching process. Congruent to the usual thinking, sometimes the pencil works best at freeing the mind when it's dull since the sharpness lends itself to creating details. The sharper the pencil is the more focused the level of drawing that can be made. Of course having super-focused details has a purpose, but not when gestures are required, or when trying to capture movement or define emotion. That is, in fact, the essence of what sketching is suppose to do: capture inner feelings, and esoteric generalities in 2D and on paper. Sometimes, there is a visceral aspect involved within the drawing process. When playing with clay the visceral aspect is inherent in the method of use, but with the pencil there are a few things that can be done to enhance this feeling. In general, this feeling is what all artists attempt to capture while creating artwork. In the pencil drawings this merging of artist and creation is done by palm smudging, and small swipes of the finger to grind the graphite into the weaves of the paper. Pressure can be varied and will blur the edges of a thick line, or one can backtrack from fine lines and create a unified mass by smearing the lines. This play with pressure can also help with the creation of shades in the drawing or sketch. The shading generates a 3D effect by forming mass, volume, heaviness, or lightness of the objects being drawn on the paper. The entire arm is usually swung around on the paper. This is not like the use of the same pencil when writing. This language of art is meant to be captured within a single glance, and then the artist will design it to captivate the viewer, and subsequently guide them around the paper. The drawing should let the viewer find new and interesting things, and when the soul of the art finally releases the human they must be left aware of something anew. It can generate a flood of emotion or a dense cloud of thought. It can assist in helping the person grow, become more whole, or simply become more aware of their surroundings. It is achieved when they can notice the subtleties that the artist focused on. These things may have never been seen before, or seen from that specific perspective. The artistry comes from the flow of the lines, and the important thought that goes into the image and is passed onward to the viewer.
