My drawing after the transfer |
Transferred on to board. My outlines are too thick. Sorry. Then umber wash and wipe out. |
Color Sketch/Poster Study to try out colors before we put on the real painting. Juliette said a figure painting can be like a band aid (too monotone) or a rainbow (too colorful) |
For a painting to be successful there has to be a believability to the picture.
The goal of art is not to reproduce nature, it is filtered through a personality.
A painting is a relative series of relationships.
Without a real goal it is hard to get better
Color is not as teachable as drawing
Juliette talked about the POISON CHALICE - in painting you get pushed all the time, the better you are the bar is always lifted
She mentioned an article in The Golden Age - Chapter 16 waltermorton@gmail.com Where a bunch of people meet once a week and figure drew but after 4 years didn't get better
TO IMPROVE
- don't rush

- look at good work
- have a goal for your work
- concentrate on shapes
Goals can be
- Make something that resonates as beautiful
- Accuracy
- Long Clean Note
- Gestural Line
People She Mentioned
- John Pense
- Pliny the Elder - talked about the painters having too many colors in their palettes
- Apeles
- the Odyssey - didn't have the words for colors we have today
- Neilson Shanks
Historical Palettes
- Juliette looks at portrait paintings where artist holds a palette to figure out historical palettes
- yellow ochre, earth red, black (functions as a blue) with addition sometimes of vermillion, naples yellow and viridian
Painting doesn't need to be perfect, just needs to be believable
