Hjemmeside

På de følgende sider kan du se eksempler på illustrationer oprettet af kunstneren Bob Hughes. Startende med sin nye AVI-maleristil (Abstract Vector Impressionist), som han udvikler derefter på sin mere, traditionelle maleristil. Der er også eksempler på hans Computer Generated (CG) digitale malerier, grafittegninger, En Plain Air-malerier og nogle af hans demonstrationsmalerier (kunstklubber og samfund). Der er også et link til et andet galleri, hvor du kan 'Se illustrationer på vægge, i dette galleri kan du se malerier og grafitportrætter indrammet og på vægge. Ved at klikke på linkene ovenfor eller klikke på billederne nedenfor, bliver du sendt til den relevante side.

Under billederne på denne side er en ny tilføjelse til Bobs hjemmeside, et 3D-kunstgalleri, som han oprettede i ArtSteps . Klik på filmen, læn dig tilbage, så bliver du taget med på en rundvisning i hans kunstgalleri. Du vil ikke kun se illustrationer fra siderne på dette websted, men du vil se kunstværket i rammer og på galleriets vægge. Hvis du vil se nærmere på et af kunstværkerne, kan du klikke på et hvilket som helst billede for at se mere information om billedet, galleriet er helt interaktivt.

På 3D-galleriet til venstre er der fire ikoner; Instruktioner, fuldskærmstilstand, videokvalitet (normal eller høj) og til sidst, lyd-bemærk; der er ingen lyd med denne tur. Du kan blive interaktiv med galleriet ved at klikke på skærmen, hvis døren er lukket, skal du klikke på den for at åbne den, hvis du vil have mere tid til at læse beskrivelserne, skal du klikke og holde eller rulle op eller ned. Klik på Escape for at gå til normal visning igen, turen kører i cirka ni minutter, hvert trin er omkring otte sekunder, bemærk, 3D-galleriet kan bedst ses på en computerskærm.

Turen ses bedst på en computerskærm, bærbar computer eller tablet. Hvis du bruger en Huawei Android-telefon, kan du opleve, at appen ikke fungerer på din enhed.

Traditional Painting

Welcome to my ‘traditional paintings’ gallery, here you can see a selection of my paintings on canvas and on panel. Some of the paintings here have their own story to tell, take ‘In Good Company’ for example, apart for being the escort ship to the Royal Yacht Britannia for the 1993 Battle of the Atlantic Commemorations (B93) which were held on the River Mersey in Liverpool, HMS Cornwall was also at the centre of an International incident in 2007.

CG (Computer Generated) digital paintings

In this gallery you can see examples of my CG (computer generated) digital paintings. I started experimenting with digital painting years ago. There is a learning curve that comes with this medium, not least of which is learning 'hand eye' co-ordination using a Wacom Intuos graphics tablet and a stylus (pen). How it works is this, you look at your monitor screen while you are working on a painting or drawing, while, at the same time you are actually drawing on the tablet with a stylus…it's tricky at first but you don't notice after a short time as it becomes natural to you.
I stopped painting digitally when I tried to enter them into art competitions and exhibitions…"digital paintings not allowed" they said. Another reason is you do not have a 'hard' copy of your painting when it is finished as you have with an oil painting or watercolour etc. your digital paintings are stored inside your computer.
Another important factor was the cost of printing artwork onto canvas, it is an expensive process but most importantly, you absolutely need to find the right people who can do the job such as fine art printers who specialise in this process, not to do so can prove to be disappointing and costly.
Now I work directly on to a Wacom Cintiq 27QHD (46.5 x 77cm), owning a Wacom Cintiq has been on my bucket list for years, it is an amazing piece of kit, now I can draw and paint directly onto the screen, but I use it primarily for planning and creating ideas for my none digital artwork such as my AVI paintings

En Plein Air

This is my En Plein Air paintings gallery, the paintings you see here were painted on location in and around the area where I live in Sefton on Merseyside with the exception of FSC Preston Montford Hall Field Study Centre in Shrewsbury, I painted this as a demonstration piece for a group of students on a weekend painting workshop I was running at the centre which was organised by The Artists & Illustrators Magazine The Artists & Illustrators Magazine.
The plein air approach was pioneered by John Constable in Britain c.1813–1, but from about 1860 it became fundamental to impressionism. The popularity of painting en plein air increased in the 1870s with the introduction of paints in tubes (resembling modern toothpaste tubes).

Demonstration paintings

On this page you can see samples of demonstration paintings which were painted for art clubs, art societies, small businesses and including painting workshops around the North West and Central parts of the UK and North Wales. Painting demonstrations are usually two hours long unless you have a workshop directly after the demonstration which could be another two or three hours long.
