Week Seven

10/25/2011

0 Comments

 

This week we're making cards showing at least three forms of color.  For example:  We might have a warm blue, a cool blue and the true blue. 
If there are cards showing each color and its variations it becomes easier to make choices when we go to the actual painting.
For example:  If we have an apple.  We would first look at the value of the apple and do a value sketch.  Then we would look at the relative temperature of areas on the apple.  The areas where the light hits would be warmer than the areas in shadow.

By using the color charts you have been working with, you might choose a warm, light (high key) color for the sun-exposed areas, and a cool, dark (low key) color for the shadows.  In this way an apple becomes more than a dark red and light red composition, and may contain  It becomes something very exciting!

Week Six

Last week we worked with color values.  This is an area that takes a lot of practice before it becomes second nature.   So in the weeks ahead we will be doing a lot of talking about how colors translate to values.  And I'll be giving you some exercises to help clarify the concept.


This Wednesday we'll be talking about the cruciform armiture.
When you bring in your pictures to use for your next painting, think in terms of 'portrait'.  This doesn't mean a picture of a person as we usually think of the term but as it is used when you are printing.  Landscape vs. portrait.  Or the paper turned with the longest measures going up and down.

A quick word about the term 'armitures'.  This is just one man's term to help you understand that a painting needs a base on which to build your artistic statement.  He has put these particular examples down and given them titles, such as 'cruciform' or 's', etc.   You don't need to remember the individual terms or what they mean exactly - they are just reminders of ways in which movement is achieved within a painting.   So think of them as aids or tools and not as rules.
