Learning to paint with crayons- Maturing at Art

[Hai]

Hi guys, I will start a new SB here soon. Hope you guys kick my ass.

[Hai]

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

[Hai]

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-
