Une aquarelle pas à pas 1 - Blog à l'eau Samedi 10 juin 2006 6 10 /06 /Juin /2006 09:00 Les lignes suivantes tentent d'expliquer la technique que m'a enseignée Jean Thivillier au cours de ces dix dernières années. Les techniques de l'aquarelle présentant de nombreuses facettes, je ne prétends pas détenir la vérité. Bien sûr, l'idéal pour un sujet comme celui ci est de peindre sur place, on est baigné dans une atmosphère qu'on ne retrouvera pas à l'atelier. A défaut faire un croquis sur place; on peut noter les couleurs principales ou faire confiance à sa mémoire et même prendre quelques photos. Un bon dessin est primordial. Commencer par peindre le ciel, les lumières, les surfaces qui resteront claires. Continuer par peindre les grandes masses. "Ne pas procéder d'après des règles et des principes, mais peindre ce qu'on observe et ce qu'on sent." Suite de l'article. Partager l'article ! Par Jean Paul - Publié dans : Technique 1

Watercolor Painting One of my favorite types of art is watercolor painting. Watercolors are a great way to introduce a child to painting -- they are fun and easy to clean up. It's also the media to try if you want to paint, but you have a limited amount of space or time. Easy to set up, interrupt, and pick up again, these paints provide a great deal of flexibility. Watercolors differ from other paints in that they are transparent. There is a large variety of supplies to choose from when beginning, but we’ll go through them so you can find the ones that will best fit your needs and budget. For example, you’ll find that cheap paper tears easily; too much rubbing or too much water can cause it to fall apart. Below is a list of what you will need to begin your own watercolor painting: Although there are many types of WATERCOLOR BRUSHES available, you will only need a few to start. That's it.

Apprendre a dessiner - Améliorer la qualité de son trait en deux temps trois mouvements - Lorsqu’un débutant ou un amateur peu confiant dessine d’observation, et qu’il veut dessiner sans perdre de temps, il essaie fréquemment de tracer plus vite, et la qualité du dessin s’en ressent sur le croquis final. Très souvent, il va repasser au même endroit maladroitement, sera un peu tremblant, voire crispé et son trait semblera ne pas trop savoir où il va. Bien heureusement, on peut corriger les mauvaises habitudes, surtout si cela ne fait pas longtemps qu’on dessine. Aujourd’hui, je vais vous apprendre à dessiner avec un trait plus confiant, ou en tous cas, je vais vous montrer comment faire. Eh oui, avant de faire passer le mur du son à son crayon, il va falloir se forcer à analyser plus vite ce que l’on observe et à aller à l’essentiel des formes et des contours tout en cherchant la beauté du trait. Quelle(s) forme(s) résume(nt) ce que je veux dessiner ? C’est simple, vraiment. Dessin réalisé sans trop réfléchir. Non, rien à voir avec Casper.

creative.com - Watercolor Painting for Beginners: A Complete Guide Starting a new hobby in watercolor painting doesn’t need to be daunting; watercolor is a versatile painting medium that’s been around even before the invention of watercolor sets in the 18th century or the influence of the English school that helped popularize the craft in continental Europe. With just a few simple art supplies and techniques, you’ll be on your way to creating stunning watercolor paintings akin to Paul Cézanne in no time. The great thing about watercolor painting is that there are several price points available as you’re learning. You can get a great 36 color watercolor set to get going and then expand your collection of colors easily by purchasing tubes, and drying them out in watercolor pan sets or other paint pans to create your own customized set. When making the jump into professional-grade tubes it’s a good idea to get a set with colors from a basic color wheel (look out for promo codes or free shipping sales online).
