Planes of the Head with Loomis - Feeling the Form. This post is picking up a thread that I dropped in April 2007, the Loomis head drawings. Most of the drawings in this post come from the year of no posts, but I'll update the site with what this practice has lead me to now in the next post, and so bring at least this thread back up to the present. One of my original ideas when I came back to painting was that I wanted to get back to portrait painting. I find portraits fascinating, and am often to be found skulking around the National Portrait Gallery.
But all the portraits I've done in the past have been of the cheesy copied photo variety. When I was a street artist in my twenties, every now and again people used to ask me to copy poor quality snaps of their nearest and dearest, which I used to do quite happily for them. Although I tend to do mostly still life these days, I'm still interested in other types of painting and particularly portraits. Working from imagination is a useful skill no doubt.

Human Vision and Digital Imaging. A profitable look under the hood leading to Lab color On this page— Under construction... Last updated October 22, 2009 Why Look Under the Hood? This article is dedicated to the proposition that the workings of human vision should inform the workings of digital photography. To my mind, a look under the visual hood reveals valuable insights for digital imaging and for photography in general, especially for B&W work. Such understandings are by no means substitutes for photographic imagination and judgement, but they can inform the exercise of those faculties. Nagging Questions Throughout my research for the dpFWIW article B&W digital, two questions kept popping up: Why are these colorless (B&W) images so satisfying?
Then, late in the game, I happened upon one of Monet's many "Water Lilies" panels on local display.

Everyday Paintings: An Oil Painting Project by David R. Darrow. Natural Pigments' Rublev Oil Paints. Forward George O’Hanlon, owner of Natural Pigments has been an outstanding technical recourse on this and other forums for many years. There is no dispute about his knowledge of painting and painting materials, including his years on the ASTM committee, along with the likes of Virgil Elliott. Like all the readers here, I owe George a debt of gratitude for all his contributions to our understanding of oil paints and other materials. Despite that debt, I am progressing here with a review of the products produced by Natural Pigments, and hope this is regarded as the same type review I would give any maker, where I owed them thanks or not. George did not contribute directly to this comparison, either with technical advice or providing product samples. Intro I’ve been curious for quite a while about the Rublev brand paints offered by Natural Pigments. These paints are all based on natural pigments, as the name suggests.
I never suspected the paints might be oil-rich.
Color. 8 Drawing Exercises That Every Artist Should Practice | today in art. Wire Drawing Exercise Example from save-janos.net – this example has been placed on a painted acrylic background With this exercise you are not going to be drawing at all. All you need is some wire and a pair of pliers with cutters. My favorite wire for this exercise is tie wire and you can get it almost any hardware store. The idea is to explore shapes and lines that you create by bending the wire.
