Digital Painting - How to do Clouds
The first thing to do is paint in the sky, itself. Background first, then foreground - in this case, the sky is going to be the background, and the clouds the foreground. So, we have to make a decision at this point: What sort of mood is this picture going to convey? It may be tempting for beginners just to glob on the blue paint (or do the Photoshop Fill tool equivalent), but the sky isn't always blue (true, it probably isn't quite the colours I've chosen, either, but this isn't a photorealism tutorial). At any rate, I've decided on a wistful, contemplative feel for this piece, so I'm going to use a pale coral as the base colour. Notice that the sky is not one flat colour, though, even where the base colour shines through. Since this is the planning stage, now would also be a good time to decide what direction your light will be coming from. Now that you've picked your colours, it's time to start painting. Okay. Well, looks like you're done, in fact.

Abrieviated steps of this tutorial (click to enlarge) To view a high resolution file of the finished drawing click Here. I like to approach any drawing or painting project in these simple terms: 1) Envision what you want to express and what is most critical to communicate. 2) Work towards that vision, and take advantage of any unexpected discoveries that further it. 3) Solve the problems that are compromising your vision. In constructing a figure drawing, depending on the pose I will use different variations of a technique commonly referred to as a ‘Block-In’. Learning to work from the ‘Broad to the Specific’ is a reoccurring theme and educational cornerstone of the curriculum I teach. The design structure of the block-in (left) translates into the rendered version (right) Take notice of how the block-in on the left is a simplified or ‘distilled’ version of the further developed image on the right.

Why Beauty Matters | RCL Video
Art Why Beauty Matters <p>JavaScript required to play <a hreflang="en" type="video/mp4" href=" Why Beauty Matters</a>.</p> Philosopher Roger Scruton presents a provocative essay on the importance of beauty in the arts and in our lives. In the 20th century, Scruton argues, art, architecture and music turned their backs on beauty, making a cult of ugliness and leading us into a spiritual desert. Using the thoughts of philosophers from Plato to Kant, and by talking to artists Michael Craig-Martin and Alexander Stoddart, Scruton analyses where art went wrong and presents his own impassioned case for restoring beauty to its traditional position at the center of our civilization.
