Demonstration 11: Oil Sketches

The first five steps of the painting materials and methods used in August and the same model. Painting to the fifth step, that thought it could be completed. But after several introspection, lack of warm and friendly feeling the effects. So in a thin layer of spray fixative, continue to the sixth step, a comprehensive re-painting again. Light and dark tone of the painting as the same color, the use of a thinner transparent turpentine cooked mixture of ocher and ivory black.

 Willow charcoal with a soft, pressed, charcoal, charcoal pencils and charcoal powder, in the 22 "x 28" of the three pure soft cloth sketch done on paper sketch. The first step settling first paper, the abstract patterns created with acetone (when the paper is placed vertically on sketching easel's). Although flammable acetone, but also toxic, but not unpleasant odor, fast evaporating, as long as proper ventilation and take measures to prevent burning, use of acetone solvent is better than the other.

 Oil painting on paper, note paper, as long as the weight of the texture and color can also be as durable as painted on linen. The problem is that paper quality and color of the number. To use heavy paper, cloth, the color of Riga in the turpentine less, with the completely transparent paint. In addition, with a layer of paint before you spray fixative, which is equal to the plastic, paper and paint layer that allows to isolate.

The first step: pressing with advanced drawing paper and 1 / 4 pound bags of high-quality toner tank. The toner evenly sprinkled on the paper, and then acetone jet wet, the paper about all aspects of the tilt up and down, so that acetone flow in all directions, so that toner to form a natural pattern. This is a place under carefully controlled "by accident" as some like the Japanese ink painting. With the experience of using this technique later. Acetone can accurately predict the pattern will be formed toner.

Step two: the surface after drying, acetone has evaporated, toner adhesion to the surface. Toner attached to the paper thin, as long as the paper will soon shake a few times, most of the toner can fall off. With sharpened willow charcoal to draw the fine outline of the body. Start with the right arm and body painting from the right, in those parts of the skin with a wipe to make it shine Badger. Eraser and then increase the brightness. If you want to make some changes to the line drawing can then acetone to wet the surface.

The third step: This step focuses on the head, it would be close to completion. Characteristics of the face paint brush and will set the standard for the entire human body. Photo of the right hand can make you an idea of ​​the proportion of painting. It is compressed using 6B charcoal pencil. Bristle with long tapered pen and charcoal powder mixture of acetone painted most of her hair dark, with the sharpened face painting willow charcoal dark tone. Stroke direction is generally along the face contours.

Step four: the head is near completion, you can come more from a whole body treatment. Wipe off with a mink excess toner highlights. Compared with the third step, where the bright tone of at least an order of the middle shades. When starting a few obvious parts of the body's shape, the rubber is mainly used in the knees, the top of the tibia and left foot wipe excess toner. Also in the abdomen and shoulder from the hand to create bright tone of the entire right arm. Background part of the very few moving it, just along the right side of the body plus some dark. Badger Paper draw with all the soft edges.

Step five: in the entire background of the dark part and the body made ​​significant changes. 2.25 cm with a flat pen dipped in acetone to draw some of those who see the brush strokes background. Pen with a dry bristle shadow along the left side of the body changed a bit too soft to form a fuzzy edges. Background exposure in the hair and left the place, with compressed charcoal depicting the side, so that edge disappeared. The sharp edges with charcoal along the back edge of the body, just below the shoulder, draw the outline of a beautiful clear-cut edges. Then spray it with fixative painting.

Body: carbon paper, oil painting, 22 "x 28". No matter from which point of view, the fifth step of the drawing has been accurate enough, but the art that can not be met. As a fixative spray, can not draw with charcoal on top to warm tone with a full solution of turpentine stint in the carbon re-paint the whole lot (not turpentine fixative solution). The results for the same model of a monochromatic light and dark, like a thin coating, but it is painted on paper only.

 Example techniques

 Here are a body painting and drawing, is I said in the previous demonstration and processing techniques to fight contour drawing. I will have the characteristics of each painting and explain the main intent.

 Due to limited space, can not talk about it in detail. Of course, we should draw each step instructions compressed into a few lines of text is hard enough. Therefore, when it comes to a similar demonstration in front of the method, I simply mention that the model even if the.

 In addition to paintings and drawings, there are some watercolor and gouache paintings. I put the watercolor and gouache paintings also included in this chapter, the reasons for the revenue with the previous model, like a pencil and charcoal drawing, oil painting I have to explain the "eyes" is how to use other kinds of painting to their work. I put my paintings as the light and shade by drawing, edges, and color means the relationship between the performance of the various forms of synthesis. I skillfully use various methods (even with a line like a pencil, as the main method of performance) to combine blocks of color and tone, to conform to the imagination "scene. "

 In general, I tend to paint a little faster than normal. When I paint on the canvas, the slowest time of not more than two or three hours. Up to a painting no more than three working days. I do not advocate more time painting procrastination. Three days later, the original paint layer surface is dry, when I'm doing the painting and then paint on, there is the feeling of tension, but in the wet paint when no such situation. As long as the light and the models were allowed, I often painted in one day will be basically completed, the next day just to make some necessary processing. If I had to draw several days, so that when I start the painting to a thin layer of retouching spray polish on the agent, the surface wet.

Body: oil on canvas, 18 "x 22". In this book also includes a model similar to this position with some other painting, because the more relaxed posture, natural, and looked very good from any angle. This painting is pure with a complete method, processing is more detailed than the more usual. This is a bright cloudy weather models sitting on the south skylight. I painted the body with transparent paint the background of the head and left shoulder at the top part, with the right part of the palette knife painting, dry strokes the rest. My whole body is medium and large hazel-shaped pen, with thick thick coating method.

 Body: oil on canvas, 18 "¡Á 24". Direct painting is the most difficult techniques, but also the most satisfactory techniques. This piece of coursework is to demonstrate the direct introduction of six is a good example of painting, but processing is simple and strong strokes. The number of strokes can get out in the shoulder and forearm only a dozen or so. Painting the hair is wavy edge of the practice blocks, as head of the razor sharp edges, and along the back edge is completely empty out.

Body: Oil on Canvas, 12 "x 18". Backlit objects such as this one oil painting made ​​some unique problems. In this case, the light pouring down from the sides of the body, so that most of the back and front edges disappear. I am keeping a shaded color clear, bright tone for work like this, all the colors are shaded. Ministry is not bright white, and only very little color, the focus of a total of only two major highlights, a neck behind in the body, the other in front of the thigh. This is the demonstration of a complete method is described in five paintings.

Body: oil on canvas, 20 "x 24". I completed this painting as a painting, although it actually need to draw twice, because when the first picture, the north turn from cloudy to sunny days the light. Later days and cloudy, while the painting is wet, I am very easy to process completed. Rose soil red, yellowish brown and cobalt blue and white mixed in different proportions to form most of the skin color. Ivory black, ocher and deep cadmium red ripe to form most of the dark. All the background and the dry brush with a palette knife.

Body: board painting, 8 "x12". Impressionist style of painting assignments as a small demonstration of seven as the abstract paintings in bright tone on the base. I paint abstract base thin thin. Painting the body with a thick coating method and background, which raised everywhere, especially in the forearm and the head can be clearly seen. Painting small paintings reflect a degree of artistic indulgence. Do not model the human body and light are fictional.

Body: oil on canvas, 30 "x36". Large paintings like this tend to need more time to complete, so I let model in the north to the light to take the most comfortable position. Cloudy weather, bright light most sustainable, therefore, best suited to draw such a picture. I used the model order of four, first to play with color contours. Head and shoulders, thick hair is thick coating, the shadow part is the thin clean colors. When the rest of the body in the processing, attention and coordination of the processing head.
