FEATURED FILM: Selma (2014) 🎬
-
Civil disobedience is a daily headline at the moment, and for concerningly good reason. Never a better time, then, to put protest (and wider political) film in the spotlight.

Have you seen it?

Francesca Crowley recently shared this piece.

"I’ve recently finished recreating Van Gogh’s ‘Bedroom in Arles’ for a friend and I was surprised at how much I enjoyed painting this as it’s very different to stuff I usually do"

Let us know your thoughts!

Does simple artwork like this have its place in art?

I often wonder this. I personally love the way these kinds of paintings look and that anyone can really create them at any age. Thoughts?

When it comes to painting, what is your favourite type of paint to work with and why?

The past year has seen a huge increase in the creation of online installations/exhibitions, giving us the opportunity enjoy pieces of art from the comfort of our own home.

The question is will they still be as popular once art galleries, music venues, cinemas etc fully re-open?

Jumptin member Carrie-Ann Salter would love to know how she can recreate this thick cracked paint look.

Happy May the 4th!

This amazing piece was created by Niall Kirk.

"This is the late Peter Crushing as Grand Moff Tarkin in Star Wars. This was a very much last second thing I decided to do yesterday and as you look closely at it their is alot of flaws!"

We love it Niall! 🎨

We just love this piece by the talented Francesca Crowley.

"My second ever oil portrait, again done in 2019, I love this one so so much more and keep meaning to do another similar piece but haven’t gotten around to it although it’s now no.2 on my list of paintings to do."

Have you heard of Magical Realism? It’s one of the slightly lesser-known genres of literature (and also art and film).
