A daily newsletter featuring today’s finest visual artists.
Important Notice
We are soon changing the name of this newsletter from BoldBrush Collector to FASO Collector. Although we had reasons to use the name BoldBrush, over the years we have discovered that separating our offerings into two brands causes much confusion for most people. So, to solve that issue, we are retiring the BoldBrush name and moving all of our offerings under our main brand, FASO.
Today’s Newsletter is Brought to You by ARTFUL Square.

BoldBrush Recommends: Sal Barracca
Biography
Sal has spent over 50 years in the field of art. He has worn many hats, so to speak, and has enjoyed them all.
After graduating from The School of Visual Arts in NYC, he pursued a career in illustration, which was his main focus in school. He thought that would be it for his entire career. He loved the assignments and was thrilled to be a working illustrator living and working in New York. However, another opportunity presented itself...a position as an art director in the book publishing arena. He later became an art director at Ladies Home Journal magazine, which turned out to be his favorite job. While working there, he met a lot of artists’ agents and that planted the germ of an idea for a new career path. He felt that he was better qualified to represent artists as a result of his experience as a working illustrator and as an art director... knowing both sides of the coin proved to be invaluable. He was an artists’ agent for 25 years, forming his own company and representing over 30 illustrators from around the world. His company was highly successful until the computer came along and changed everything.
25 years ago he started to paint again. While he started out as a realistic painter, today his approach is using the imagination to form the landscape. He uses acrylic, oils and mixed media, creating scenes that start out as abstracts until certain shapes direct him toward a scene that he can further develop.
When painting a still life, he uses oil on panel. Some setup reference is used as a starting point, but he pushes the paint in trying to achieve a mood and style that is his own. He enjoys experimenting with all types of different media, textures and materials to keep things fresh and exciting.
