CPAR WEEK 1: DRAWING AND PAINTING
DRAWING Process of moving an instrument over a smooth surface to leave a mark called a line Drawings can be created using dry media or wet media All drawing media have their own characteristics: rough lines for example are produced by crayons and chalk while pen and graphite pencils produced smooth lines.
DRAWING MATERIALS 1. Sketchbook (9 x 12 or smaller depending on the artist’s preference) 2. Graphite Pencils (2H, HB, 2B, 4B and 6B or mechanical pencils .5mm and .3mm): 9H - lightest shade 9xxB - darkest shade 3. Erasers (vinyl and kneaded)
USEFUL SHAPES FOR KNEADED Rounded corner
ERASER Pointy tip Thin wedge KNEADED ERASER TIP SHAPES Large round Medium round Small round pointed
1. Life Drawing A drawing that is based directly on the observation of the artist of his subject 2. Emotive Drawing Emphasizes the expression of different emotions, feelings and mood 3. Perspective Drawing The artist creates 3D images on a 2D picture plane 4. Sketching Drawings done at the “spur of the moment” The artist puts down on paper thoughts and ideas that occurs instantly
SHADING TECHNIQUES Shading is the use of light and shadow giving the work characteristics of having depth and texture. 1. Hatching: is accomplished by drawing thin lines that runs in the same direction. 2. Cross-Hatching: is accomplished by criss-crossing lines. 3. Blending: is accomplished by changing the value little by little (from dark to medium/light) 4. Stippling: is accomplished by using dot patterns to create dark values. DRAWING WITH GRAPHITE PENCILS All of the shading techniques can be applied using a graphite pencil. Pencils are capable of making different kinds of lines and tones depending on three factors: a. Sharpness of the point b. How much pressured is applied c. The angle of how the pencil is held
DRAWING WITH CHARCOAL
The best way to hold a stick of vine charcoal is between the first three fingers and the thumb with the end not used in pointing downward. Compressed charcoal can used alone or blended with vine charcoal. A kneaded eraser can add character to the charcoal drawing. Paper stumps (torchons) are pressed papers that are used for blending
STAGES OF DRAWING 1. Look Study the image that is about to be drawn. 2. Transfer the information Arrange the elements and composition. 3. Block in the background Add a third dimension by focusing on the shadows and shapes. 4. Add a third dimension with volume. Give each object a 3D quality 5. Finish the Drawing.
PAINTING The application of color to a surface through the use of tools
THREE COMPONENTS 1. Pigments – the colored part of the paint 2. Binder – the material that holds together the grains of pigment and allows it to stick to the painting surface 3. Solvent – the liquid that controls the thickness or thinness of the paint (viscosity)
DIFFERENT KINDS OF PAINTS
1. Oil-based Paints Oil paints were developed in Northern Europe where paintings were initially created using tempera (pigments mixed with egg yolk and water) To make the painting transparent, artist added linseed oil, thus began the era of oil paints Oil paint is creamy and dries slowly through chemical reaction (curing) It can be purchased in tubes of various sizes; The best known brands are Pebeo, Da Vinci, Holbein, Winsor and Newton The major characteristic of oil paints is that it gives a richness and depth of color
MATERIALS FOR PAINTING WITH OILS
a. Oil Paints – basic collection of colors (cadmium red and yellow, ultramarine blue, titanium white and mars black) b. Solvent (Turpenoid Regular or Gamsol) c. Brushes – different sizes; rags and jars for cleaning the brushes d. Palette and pallete knife for blending paints e. Canvas f. Easel g. Space: 8x8 feet with good lighting, well-ventilated, cleanable floors and table tops
2. Water-Soluble Paints a. Watercolor The most popular The Binder is gum Arabic or gum Senegal The solvent is water When over layers are applied, care should be taken not to disturb the underpainting
TECHNIQUES/APPROACHES FOR WATERCOLOR PAINTING
a. Wet-on-Dry Involves the limited use of water When the painting process has begun, enough time is given for the fresh layer of paint to dry b. Wet-on-Wet Involves keeping the support and the pigment mixture in wet conditions The plasticity of watercolor is seen in these wet conditions
3. Gouache A mixture of transparent water color with water soluble white pigment Tinted paper supports are usually used for gouache like cardboards Wetting the support helps in manipulating gouache mixtures The support is positioned then horizontally to prevent water from running and color unintentionally merging Wetting the support helps in manipulating gouache mixtures The support is positioned then horizontally to prevent water from running and color unintentionally merging
4. Acrylic Paints fast-drying paint containing pigment suspended in acrylic polymer emulsion Acrylic gesso can be applied as primer to the canvas Acrylic paints can be modified by simply adding water
KINDS OF ACRYLIC a. Professional Acrylics – resists chemical reactions from exposure to water, ultraviolet light and oxygen b. Student Acrylics – has a lower pigment concentration and smaller range of colors; the color brightness is also not intense c. Scholastic Acrylics – pigment content is less expensive and includes dyes in the formation; the color range is also limited to primary and secondary colors
5. Tempera Its effects depends upon the layers of semi-opaque colors The manipulation of egg tempera painting is a line technique The egg tempera has low malleability which is improved by adding water To make the yolk less greasy, vinegar or acetic acid may be added Although tempera dries faster than oil, tempera painting is a slow process, it may takes month to complete a single tempera painting
