Bulman Fine Art

my goal as an artist is to instill in another the beauty i find in life; whether it be through color, texture or line. my approach to picture making is unusual in that instead of choosing one medium to explore a subject with i use several mediums to explore different aspects of a subject. often i'll use drawing and etching to study the linear aspects of a scene then work with water colors to explore light and color before moving on to an oil painting with its richness of tone, depth and detail. even a brief perusal of my work and one recognizes a tremendous variety of mediums. all of my work regardless of the medium that i have chosen reflects my dedication to realism as expressed by the many masters of the renaissance. quite often i will do a piece as an etching and then execute the same image as a pastel, watercolor or oil. other times the image itself informs the medium. many of my works, particularly the large oils, are scenes from ancient ruins in places i have visited. typically
