The number two mistake is leaving the canvas white when they start painting. The first technique I always teach in painting (and a technique I use on 99% of my work) is to cover the white canvas with one solid paint colour which is called a ‘ toned ground’. This is short for ‘toned background’ and is No. 1 of my painting principles. It can be called a ‘toned ground’ or ‘coloured ground’ as it can be used in drawing and painting. Using a coloured ground does a number of fantastic things that are not to be underestimated when starting to learn how to paint. Turner used pre-coloured sheets of watercolour paper with different hues (colours) of browns, blues and greys. When faced with a scene he would look through his pre-painted watercolour sheets and select the most appropriate colour. For example, a warm brown for an Autumnal tree scene.
The Maker – Zealous Creative Press Release In 2010, film-making husband and wife duo Christopher and Christine Kezelos screened their first stop-motion animation called Zero in over 50 international film festivals, winning 15 awards. In 2011 their follow-up stop-motion short called The Maker has proven to be an even bigger hit. The Maker is set in a fantasy world where a strange creature races against time to make the most important and beautiful creation of his life. Director Christopher Kezelos says “The Maker explores the preciousness of our moments on earth, the short time we have with loved ones and the enjoyment of one’s life’s work and purpose. The project was an international collaboration bringing together the same Australian production crew from Zero, with the addition of puppet designer Amanda Louise Spayd from Ohio, USA and post-production facility Monkey Hut from London, UK. The Maker was inspired by one of Australia’s most popular and innovative composers of classical music, Paul Halley. Press Clippings
