#studentwork #wip When we say 'drawing for paint

#studentwork #wip

When we say 'drawing for painting' THIS is what we mean!

A weird shape, surrounded by other weird shapes that let you know where to put your paintbrush.

Because a painting is like a delicious trifle.
Layers upon layers of 'happy little accidents' that combine together to look utterly delightful, but that were kind of hellish to work through and on paper might not make much sense (fruit salad, jelly, cake, and custard at once???)🤮😆🤯👌....

When it doesn't make sense, you make sense through your foundational skills, like drawing or colour theory, or critique.

And if you don't have those skills? Well, we guess you just kinda flounder and faff about and don't really get any better??

If you DO want to get better, and you've done quite enough faffing about, why not begin the process of loading up on your foundations? Because we've got a workshop coming up that will do just that!

Do you remember our #beforewebegin series from las

Do you remember our #beforewebegin series from last year?
The full series is in our highlights, but here's a recap...

Basically, it's a little stop gap to remind you of some of the things you might want to consider before you begin painting... because sometimes we dive into our paintings a bit too quickly!

We start laying thick paint onto our canvases, and get all excited about the end product before we've so much as checked that it's a good image, with a solid composition and interesting value measurements!

But what does all of that meeean????

Basically, it means this: SLOW DOOOOOWN

Check your composition and see if it is interesting and a little off-centre as opposed to BOOM right in the middle.

Check your values, are they telling an interesting story about light or is it all a bit too blah blah boring???

Draw your general shapes in, get used to your image before you start making things too permanent.

The end will arrive before you know it, take time to enjoy the process of getting there.

The thing that we probably help out with the most

The thing that we probably help out with the most as Art Tutors is getting started, and then at the other end of the spectrum... the finishing touches.

Usually everyone is ok as they move through the middle bit, but it's getting started that freaks a lot of us out... And we think that's probably because there's usually a whole lot riding on our shoulders as we first put brush to canvas.

But there doesn't need to be!

You can get started by drawing methodically and in detail before laying down an underpainting.
Or
You can get started by looking closely at your colour theory and recalibrating your image to suit.
Or
You can make like a 5 year old and just throw some paint about!

The thing is, whatever you choose, you're doing it right.
We promise.

Is this one of our students FIRST EVER painted portraits?
Yes.

Is it freaking GLORIOUS?
Also yes.

Can we teach you how to paint glorious portraits as well???
Heck yeah!!!!

In fact, we've got a workshop for that!

You will learn the drawing, the colour mixing, how to get glow, the gifts of glazing, how and where to be bold with colours, and the importance of your directional mark making...

And of course, after the 2 days is up, you'll walk out with a finished portrait, wooohoooooo!!

Swipe through the images and you'll see a bit of the process and then you can head on over to the website and buy yourself a ticket.

Drawing... Hands down the skill that every Artist

Drawing... Hands down the skill that every Artist seems to think they SHOULD magically have, yet very few of us actually work on acquiring it!
So, what can you expect from our magical and excellent drawing workshop coming up on April 27th????

First, we begin by setting you up with 9 points of analysis which are essentially ways, steps, or techniques that allow you to truly see and get curious about the scene in front of you.

If you swipe through the images you'll see 6 of them interacting on an image of a hand:
Thrust,
General Shape,
Pivot Points,
Pairs,
Vector of analysis, and
Repeated Motif.

Notice how each of these points of analysis gives us a different understanding of the hand we're trying to draw?
It also forces us to see the image not as a 'hand' as such, but rather an interlocking web of relationships that form what we think of as a hand....

Because we're not actually painting a 'hand', are we?
No, we're painting an illusion that LOOKS like a hand!
Which means we need to get curious about what holds it all together.

Once we've learnt the language and techniques for drawing, we'll do some practise work together before rounding out the day with some still-life drawing and critique (essentially, how to fix a bad drawing).

If you are a 'bad' drawer, don't know how to draw, or are held back in any way because of your drawing skills then this workshop is for you!!!

We've got 6 seats available and we'd love to have you!!!!

I always thought that Mum, @degillettcox , just knew everything about everything. Obviously, goes without saying, she's MUM.

Then, one day in a class or a workshop she was talking about a medium she was using and I was sitting there, just shaking my head in disbelief at how much she knew.
I said "How do you know all this stuff???"

And then she said something that blew my mind in several ways, whilst looking at me like I was an idiot...
"It's written on the bottle...???"

🤯🤯🤯🤯🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

I mean. Wow. Just....
Wow.

So there you have it folks, not sure what medium to use?
Literally, just read the bottle. It's all there.

I've checked, here's the evidence.
You're welcome.

Have questions about what we use? Pop them in the comments and we'll get right on it!

Here's a fresh landscape off the easels here at Arts Tree, painted by one of our delightful and amazing students!

Swipe back through the images and see what it's looked like over the last few weeks of work, it's always so impressive to see what a little bit here and there adds up to!
Our favourite touch was the light purple glaze over the rocks closer to the water... it really pushed them back!
