Dessins et plaisirs. Palette de Sandy Taillan - peinture à l'huile. Gallica - Peinture à l'huile. Apprendre - les médiums. Aquarelle - Watercolor. Underpaintings. Workshop : Tony Ryder, Part 1. When examining the tonal plan of my reference - whether it is a photograph or a live model - I frequently forget that what I am looking at is not an absolute whose values I must match exactly in my painting, but rather a guide for plotting value relationships. Too often, I have been a slave to my reference, when I should have intelligently manipulated the values I was observing in order to make a better picture. In his book, Creative Illustration, Andrew Loomis explains that there are specific relationships between the areas of shadow and light in a subject which are dependent upon the intensity of the illumination source. He expresses these relationships between light and shadow using the steps of the value scale, which, in his system, consists of eight equidistant tones ranging from White (1) to Black (8).
Being able to accurately translate values from a live model to the canvas takes a certain amount of trial and error at first, but it becomes easier with practice. Alex Katz en entretien vidéo.

Muddy Colors. Pastel. Surreal Paintings by Jacek Yerka (10 total) "Jacek Yerka was born in Toruń, Poland, in 1952 - where he later studied fine art and graphic design. According to Yerka, he was pressured by his university instructors to eschew detail and realism in favor of the fashion of the times - but did not relent, adhering to the meticulous classic Flemish technique that still typifies his work. In time they came to see him as a brilliant - though troubled - talent. Yerka graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, specializing in printmaking. He began working full time as an artist in 1980. " via wiki, best bookmarks.
