i made a little video cataloguing my experience doing live fashion sketches for moncler's grenoble collection! (im actually super proud of this collage cover haha)
This week I attended the live painting workshop facilitated by Sylvia, the workshop began by mixing a large amount of red, yellow, and blue acrylic paint for a dark shade, then took that shade and added white to create a medium shade, and then repeated it once again to create a light shade.
We then began to paint the live model, Jeff, for about an hour and a half by blocking out the shapes and using all three shades for the background as well as the figure. Afterward, we all planned out how to lay out our work to have it hung up in the hallway which I found to be a useful exercise as it had us work as a group and also decide how different colours should be laid out to become more cohesive.
I look forward to continuing the movement project and relating it back to what I learned in todays workshop.
I was able to live paint at our local city art stroll a few weeks ago! I love how this guy came out. I’ll probably throw him up on my online shop sometime in the next week.
Also hello I’m trying to be more active on tumblr again! How are y’all?
(Repost) Thanks to Everyone who Watched my Tighnari Live Painting Session!
Hi! Reposting this since it was deleted for some reason, but Thanks so much to everyone who watched this live session and supported me :-) I am incredibly grateful for the support. I will be doing more live drawing sessions in the near future!
I had a ton of fun competing at last Friday’s Art Battle, and then making it into the final round! The first sold immediately, but the one I completed in the last round is still available for purchase - you can check out progress shots and bid on it via silent auction. Link in Bio!
To start off this project in painting I did Sylvia’s workshop, where we did figure painting with a live nude model.
For our colour palette we mixed three tones - a light, medium, and dark tone. We began painting in the background first, then looking at where the shadow would be placed, and how the light would compliment it. We painted the live model last, as I’ve learned what you paint last is what stands out on the page.
I think that the angle at which I was painting at was quite unique. The shadow was very emphasised, which almost appeared as if there was a second figure in the painting.
At first, I found the live model painting hard as it is quite fast paced, which is out of my comfort zone. However I learned to not focus too much on detail when gesture painting.
Later on, we combined the classes paintings, and arranged a composition to be hung on the wall. We arranged them on the floor first so we could play around with the layout, then hung them up.
