ArtCamp Imagination


13 Sept 2013


Here is part 2 of the assignments for Noah's art camp. Hope you enjoy them :)

Normally updates should follow up faster now, had delay due to moving and other personal stuff.

Things I learned the most:
-The importance of edges, again and how to see and use them in your advantage
-Colour palette restriction.
-Take it easy, subdivide paintings in easy to follow steps to keep from being overwhelmed by the whole
-Warm-up makes a huge difference.

The order goes from recent to old pieces by me, followed by recent to old master studies.
Difference between master studies and own work can also be found in the name of the file.
(but you'll prolly see the diff :P )

Cheers

Artcamp Masterstudies


24 May 2013


I signed in for Noah's Art Camp and here is what I've made so far. Hope you enjoy it :)

Things I learned the most:
-how background is bent to support subject/foreground in colour relation and value/contrast.
-how green is just dark yellow, and most blues are greys
-how grey is a joker colour, it takes the place of the opposite warmth of the surrounding colours.
-how subtle they are in their low-chroma colour variations
-how high you should set the bar for workload cap
-The importance of edges


Big Masterstudies after:
Thomas Reis' "Amelie"
Bouguereau's "Evening Mood"
Thomas Moran's "Autumn on the Wissahickon"

So I rendered a scene from the project. Did some research and painted the cellar/brewery, its more just the cellar of the bar but the owner likes to brew his custom beverages :).

The first idea of being immersed in the scene by sitting inside the cellar seemed cool, so after some sketches I made a 3D blockout to check out some lighting possibilities and camera angles. After all it wasn't really what I wanted. I wanted to make a nice painting explaining the whole without losing its character as some technical drawings can do. By keeping it loose and painterly you still get the right feeling with the piece. I hope you like it :)

Here are the final with the WIPs next to it.
