Learning to paint with crayons- Maturing at Art - Hai - 07-29-2015 Hi guys, I will start a new SB here soon. Hope you guys kick my ass. RE: Learning to paint with crayons- Maturing at Art - Hai - 07-30-2015 finished bachelor thesis. new goals ahead. notes later. Goals: -artistic composition(shapes etc etc) -light and material fundamentals(MTG level) -color -solve drawing problems(anatomy, construction etc) -working cleanly/high finish(MTG level) -landscape Improvement System: -structural figure drawing -painting from life(color, light) -designing composition(light, value, shapes)->pencil thumbs, color thumbs, value thumbs(story, mood, narrative, design) ->pattern harmony+effective narrative -lighting/rendering fundamentals -reference RE: Learning to paint with crayons- Maturing at Art - Hai - 08-03-2015 studies and paintings with notes: -see the first color impression(from life, blur eye) -oscillating colors through broken brushes -oscillating impression -painting using very close figure ref -design overpaint by ben(more striking comp, value contrast and grouping, dark against light) -solve drawing problems(construction) -see first color impression, blur eye -temperature application test -CM design by shapes, lines, values and colors(study) -design by shapes, lines, values and colors application test -bad local color -Pigment experiment -design by shapes, lines, values and colors application test -Edgar Payne color theory- pigments -complementaries and mixing(color wheel different from yurmby wheel of photoshop) -pigment mixing experiment -Edgar Payne process(tone->color wash/stains->opaque->accents) -bad value grouping, bad light/shade hierarchy-no local color -failure painting->better design, construction -face from ref practice(model halftones after block in) -artistic composition/design- every line/shape/construction says something--what do you want to say/what is your opinion/feeling on the subject- -artistic composition from ref-what is your opinion about the ref->emphasize by design -landscape test(depth, value, scale, form, color) -form form form in the back -paint from life to see temperature changes -color temp complexity -landscape depths/values -artistic comp(every object a character) -detail pass for hard edges and accents -group dem colors and work on the drawing pls Conclusions: -work dem figure drawing/construction(slow) -look at nature/life drawing for temperature changes-and colors and hues -design design design -limited color choices by limited palette(think harmony and vibrancy(payne)) -learn to mix complementary colors together -when the "fundamentals"(forms+light, drawing-construction)), physics, are correct, the colors will be correct-always-
