Painting-Drawing 3 -Master Course 2017 (Student1)

This week we start experimental study ink wash technique. This technique is more similar to water color paint techniques. First we start our drawing with pencil so then we use brush and Ink.

Ink technique we start with lightest shade. Next layer goes to be slightly darker than the last. Repeat this process until we add all of tones with the nice balance of contrast.

Water is very useful for this technique It will help for control over pigments and tones.

There are lot of brands and options for type of ink, I using Winsor @ Newton Ink because I love how rich the black of the w&N.

We practice new still life on the Tuesday lesson. When composing a still life need to introduce the qualities that make an interesting arrangement. Therefore we need to be aware of the abstract structure of our arrangement.it balance and contrast line shape tones, colors, pattern, textures and forms. We did several sketches because great compositions don’t just happen by accident. So the great thing is always do sketching before you get start your painting

Professor Andy taught us a very useful lesson about composition and colors using tricks last two weeks. This is how Khanna, me and Lesya did our still life paintings.
