August 2018 "Oil Painting" 'Beach' and 'Pine Tree Island' by Kirstin McCoy are featured in Singulart Magazine. "Oil painting is arguably one of the best known and most used painting mediums. Oil paint consists of suspending various pigments in a drying oil that acts as the binder. A variety of oils can be used as the binding agent, such as linseed oil or safflower oil. Each oil lends a different property to the quality of the paint and can affect the drying time or the yellow hue that it gains over time. The use of oil paint can be traced back to Buddhist paintings from the fifth to tenth century, executed by early Chinese and Indian artists in western Afghanistan. However it gained popularity during the 15th century, where it quickly became the most commonly used medium for painting. What was popularised during the Northern Renaissance with Early Netherlandish painting then became popular with Southern European Renaissance painters, so much so that it almost completely supplanted tempera painting"....

"Landscape painting is a highly popular genre in Western art, with a long and established tradition. Landscapes typically portray a variety of natural scenes, including mountains, rivers, valleys, forests, fields, and coasts. This definition was expanded in the 20th century to include urban and industrial landscapes. Landscape painters are inspired by the world around them, and while landscape paintings are principally figurative, they have become increasingly abstracted with the rise of abstraction. Contemporary artists paint a landscape because they are moved by its beauty, or to make a comment on the relationship between man and the environment".... VIEW SINGULART MAGAZINE VIEW ART |

WORLD OF ART MAGAZINE RUSSIA - Мир Искусства …
July 2015 Twenty Paintings by Kirstin McCoy’s are featured at the Russian Мир Искусства (World of Art Magazine)... Яркие и сочные цвета - отличительная особенность, делающая её искусство уникальным Кирстин Маккой (Kirstin McCoy) - французская художница, живёт и работает на юге Франции, неподалеку от Средиземного моря. Ее искусство характеризуется яркими и сочными цветами. Картины Маккой есть во многих коллекциях по всему миру. Многое из творчества K Маккой вдохновлено яркими цветами юга Франции. Большая часть ее картины характеризуется энергичным, крайне мощным, часто совершенно спонтанным способом нанесения краски, которую художница густо накладывает на холст, используя кисти и мастихин. Для работы Кирстин использует масло и акриловые краски. Пишет как "на пленэре", так и в своей студии. Её творчество сформировалось под влиянием французских импрессионистов, фовистов и экспрессионистов - художников, которые также писали в Южной Франции, таких как Ван Гог, Дюфи, Сезанн, Матисс, Дерен и т. д. Как и художники, которые вдохновляют ее, Кирстен Маккой тоже, в качестве основы своих картин, использует выразительную силу цвета. УЗНАТЬ БОЛЬШЕ |
