Ornamental Woodcarver
The European Fine Art Fair,
The TEFAF 2013
In this blog item we visit the TEFAF 2013 in Maastricht (Netherlands), over
the years TEFAF has come to be
recognized as the world's leading art
and antiques fair.
I should feeling really lucky that I only live 20 minutes
from Maastricht and The TEFAF .
It is for the ornamental Woodcarver of great importance to
have a lot of documentation, drawings and pictures , this source of inspiration
can be consulted later by a possible restoration or reconstruction of ornaments.
In the creation and drawing of new ornaments and
compositions a comprehensive library
of books and pictures is really necessary, this information gives the ornamental
Woodcarver a greater freedom in drawing and design.
A lot of information (pictures)
also contributes to the ornamental carver a better understanding of
the forms and characters that
can be consult. And
this together with a large amount of plaster casts and wooden examples
you're already well on your way.
