Oil Painting Essentials
Spontaneous. That is normally what we associate with the creative process of making art. The opposite is actually true for many of us. As artists, we wrestle with the picture in our minds eye and try to pin it to the canvas as best we can. What inspires us, needs to be expressed as fast as art can possibly happen. We run the danger of not having the right tools to pin down that fleeting inspirational moment. One of those tools is called composition. In specific: the Rule of Thirds.
True To His Roots
Artist, father, husband and entrepreneur, Keith Zenda was born into a rural family with four siblings in Chirumanzu, Zimbabwe. After the death of his father, he was raised by his mother and from the age of 10 became the head of the household. A natural provider and nurturer, Keith is still involved in uplifting those less fortunate than him. For more than a decade he has been peddling his artworks, sometimes against all the odds, across borders from Tanzania, Botswana and Mozambique to Cape Town, evoking respect and admiration from all those who meet this hard-working talent.
