Latest Foot Tattoo Design
Getting a tattoo done is a decision of a lifetime. Of all the various kinds, foot tattoos are gaining in popularity. However, the question that haunts most about foot tattoos is whether foot tattoos pain? To find the answer to the ‘foot tattoos – do they hurt’.Tattooing is an ancient practice that has cultural and religious relevance. However, in recent years it has grown into a popular form of artwork in which a human being lends his body into the deft hands of a tattoo artist, who gives life to his creativity using colorful ink. Although tattoos have been more popularly worn by men, tattoo designs for girls have also seen a lot of innovation and evolution in recent times. From wrist tattoos to tattoo designs for lower back, tattoos are being done on almost every part of the body. Of the various types, foot tattoos are becoming a rage. Know more on tattoos on feet.
However, the most pertinent question to deal with here, is ‘foot tattoos – do they hurt?’ Let’s do a reality check in this article with regards to this concern.What is tattooing? Well, it is the process by which a tattoo artist makes designs on the skin by filling ink into it. He does this by making punctures in the skin using needles. Needles, did we say? Then it should hurt! Well, in fact getting a tattoo done, be it one on any body part does hurt. However, the degree of pain that an individual experiences, is relative. It depends upon one’s pain tolerance. However, it is a fact that places on the body that do not have enough muscles or fat tissues hurt more. By this criteria, foot tattoos do hurt more than those done on the upper back and upper arms.
Well it’s true that the pain while getting a tattoo done is relative. However, a first timer, should consider any place other than the foot for getting a tattoo design done. That would give him an idea of how much pain can he tolerate. Nevertheless if a beginner still wants to get a foot tattoo done, he could go for smaller designs like a butterfly tattoo designs or a star (which are popular designs for foot tattoos for ladies) rather than an elaborate flower tattoo design or a design of a dragon. For those who have already got a tattoo done earlier, it would be easier to gauge foot tattoos pain and hence decide on the size of the (foot tattoos) design.In case the pain becomes too much to bear, one can ask the tattoo artist to stop. One can eat or drink during the break. It is important to keep oneself hydrated throughout the process and also during the healing period, as this hastens the healing process and also helps in making the tattooing process proceed smoothly.

"Nude Descending a Staircase No.2" by Marcel Duchamp
"Nude Descending a Staircase No.2" by Marcel Duchamp
This piece is called "Nude Descending a Staircase No. 2" by Marcel Duchamp. Duchamp was a French surrealist and dadaist artist. I like the color scheme of this piece. I really like the raw quality of this painting as well. I like the harsh lines and contrast of it.

WHAT IS A PAINTING?
WHAT IS A PAINTING?
Painting is the practice of applying paint, pigment, color or other medium[1] to a surface (support base). The application of the medium is commonly applied to the base with a brush but other objects can be used. In art, the term painting describes both the act and the result of the action. However, painting is also used outside of art as a common trade among craftsmen and builders. Paintings may have for their support such surfaces as walls, paper, canvas, wood,glass, lacquer, clay, copper or concrete, and may incorporate multiple other materials including sand, clay, paper, gold leaf as well as objects. Painting is a mode of expression and the forms are numerous. Drawing, composition or abstraction and other aesthetics may serve to manifest the expressive and conceptual intention of the practitioner. Paintings can be naturalistic and representational (as in a still life or landscape painting), photographic, abstract, be loaded with narrative content, symbolism, emotion or be political in nature.
A portion of the history of painting in both Eastern and Western art is dominated by spiritual motifs and ideas; examples of this kind of painting range from artwork depicting mythological figures on pottery to Biblical scenes rendered on the interior walls and ceiling of The Sistine Chapel, to scenes from the life ofBuddha or other scenes of eastern religious origin.
History
The oldest known paintings are at the Grotte Chauvet in France, claimed by some historians to be about 32,000 years old. They are engraved and painted using red ochre and black pigment and show horses, rhinoceros, lions, buffalo, mammoth or humans often hunting. However the earliest evidence of painting has been discovered in two rock-shelters in Arnhem Land, in northern Australia. In the lowest layer of material at these sites there are used pieces of ochre estimated to be 60,000 years old. Archaeologists have also found a fragment of rock painting preserved in a limestone rock-shelter in the Kimberley region of North-Western Australia, that is dated 40 000 years old. [1] There are examples of cave paintings all over the world—in India, France, Spain, Portugal,China, Australia, etc.
In Western cultures oil painting and watercolor painting have rich and complex traditions in style and subject matter. In the East, ink and color ink historically predominated the choice of media with equally rich and complex traditions.
The invention of photography had a major impact on painting. In 1829, the first photograph was produced. From the mid to late 19th century, photographicprocesses improved and, as it became more widespread, painting lost much of its historic purpose to provide an accurate record of the observable world. There began a series of art movements into the 20th century where the Renaissance view of the world was steadily eroded, through Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, Fauvism, Expressionism, Cubism and Dadaism. Eastern and African painting, however, continued a long history of stylization and did not undergo an equivalent transformation at the same time.
Modern and Contemporary Art has moved away from the historic value of craft and documentation in favour of concept; this led some to say in the 1960s that painting, as a serious art form, is dead. This has not deterred the majority of living painters from continuing to practice painting either as whole or part of their work. The vitality and versatility of painting in the 21st century belies the premature declarations of its demise. In an epoch characterized by the idea of pluralism, there is no consensus as to a representative style of the age. Important works of art continue to be made in a wide variety of styles and aesthetic temperaments, the marketplace being left to judge merit.
Among the continuing and current directions in painting at the beginning of the 21st century are Monochrome painting, Hard-edge painting, Geometric abstraction, Appropriation, Hyperrealism,Photorealism, Expressionism, Minimalism, Lyrical Abstraction, Pop Art, Op Art, Abstract Expressionism, Color Field painting, Neo-expressionism, Collage, Intermedia painting, Assemblage painting,Computer art painting, Postmodern painting, Neo-Dada painting, Shaped canvas painting, environmental mural painting, traditional figure painting, Landscape painting, Portrait painting, and paint-on-glass animation.
FAUVISM PAINTING
Light and power?
Another highly expressionistic Fauvist painting. You would never see such color display in a harbor in reality. It challenges our already acquired knowledge of color and intensity.
Woman With a Hat, 1905 by Henri Matisse
It is interesting how her face is a mixture of reds, and yellows, purples, blues, and I think I even saw a green in there. Matisse is not interested in mixing a perfect pallet to disguise the colors he's used.
What is the advantage in such a technique? I mean, there must be something behind the phrase, "show them your true colors". If a color can represent a virtue, a vice, an attitude, a feeling or emotion, then why not paint the colors right on their faces?

"Waterhouse" by John William
This painting, "Waterhouse" by John William, is a Romanticism painting from this period. Like the characteristic of Romanticism painting which focuses on the expression of the characters, William focuses on the facial expression and the emotion of the woman in this painting. Other Romanticism artists also focused on expressing the expression.
