Transcript of Painting Day One Concept Style and Technique 2016
What is ‘style?’
Manet Monet Van Gogh
Hiroshige ManetRembrandt
+ =
Jessica Orme Malevich study and response
What’s the procedure?
thumbnail sketch first – block-in light & shadow
No detail
Then paint (but the painting doesn’t have to follow the sketch)
The brush changes direction, following the contour of the shapes
Work from thin to thick, allow each layer to dry, block in the whole composition, including the light and shadow
Painting the background also redefines the edge of the shape
(e.g., behind the cheek)
What is ‘glazing?’
• GLAZING = transparent layers over each other
• Each layer is painted, then dried, before proceeding to the next
