P1 - Wipe out oil sketch - illuminated planar forms,
simple still life |
|
materials |
Gessoed paper oil paint rag chip brush thinner gloves tape |
|
Objectives |
* observation of spatial planes * coordination of marks to planar directions * use of 3 values of lights and dark to create effect of form * achieving values in paint through control of density of material * basic learning of paint substance and its application * introduction to clean up after painting |
|
Vocabulary |
Value - dark, middle, light Plane Space Form |
|
Suggestions |
* be aware of recessional perspective * notice that planes define the objects as well as the surface holding the object, and possibly background wall areas. * identify relative value of each plane in relation to the other planes * initially seek to represent each plane as either bright (no paint) or dark (brush stroke of paint), then look for planes which can be shown with a middle value. * Futher step: when you are ready, look for a second level of value shifts within planes – altho aim to keep it simple. |
Referencing planar still life objects
arranged on a platform
Use one dark colored oil paint.
Build painting through application and
wipe removal.
Visualize the forms, surfaces and
spaces in terms of planes.
Imagine there are no objects but only
planes.
Aim to render these planes on the page
with strokes which relate in size and direction to the spatial
configurations you see.
As you practice this become more
confident in the strokes. Let them be as large. Control size with the
rag.
Observe the variety of darks/lights of
the pigment that can be achieved through the wiping method.
At a mid point we will take a break and
you will be asked to create a value value scale representing 5
incremental steps.
Extend your painting to the edge of the
defined format area. This defines the composition. (either to the
edge of the page, or a defined rectangular area close to the edge of
the page.
