第一步
我用多媒体Artboard为了这文章。我开始寻找一些图片和文件,我想使用。钻石图案,条纹,和蛇图案来自卫生纸,我发现。我添加了一些音符从音乐书的版权从1900年初的。这些照片是我发现一些在公共领域。我把我想要的是什么,“粘”到我Artboard 18×24。我也用水彩画纸和帆布有时。任何的工作。我胶水的纸张与哑光介质如果他们非常轻量级的(如组织)或用软凝胶光泽如果他们比较重(如纸草在它)。然后你需要让你的纸干。我通常在晚上干我,一定很干!
第二步
回到我的画后,我第一次穿上一些丙烯酸釉料在整个页面。(这里我使用Sap绿色色调,二氢喹吖啶红,二氢喹吖啶/镍偶氮黄金)当釉料是干燥的(你可以干他们用吹风机),我添加了一些厚的漆有一大片软木绿色(软木塞是在大约3 1/2。在直径。我也使用一小型葡萄酒软木塞的小圆圈。我用一个托盘应用紫氧化物刀上的一块网格塑料。马上,把塑料。一定要洗塑料后立即使用它在一个地方,在你把它在另一个点。您可以使用其他发现对象邮票作为油漆或模板。我经常使用诸如板,泡沫包装,塑料包装,纱布等。在这一点上,我决定把一些发现对象的文件添加更多的纹理。我用纱布,骨架的叶子,睫毛纱。我又一次让它干燥过夜
第三步
我决定,我不喜欢明亮的红颜色(紫红)的绘画,所以我把白色的石膏在一些地区的绘画调下来。一旦这是干的,我把釉在整个绘画与二氢喹吖啶/镍含氮的黄金。
步骤四
一旦金釉是干的,我做了添加一些景点紫氧化物与我的托盘刀不同区域上带,颜色更多。接下来,我不得不决定什么是我的绘画的主题将是。我决定在母亲和婴儿的长颈鹿。我试图把它,但发现我不能看到图片,所以我把它用白漆相反。我也放在黑色的眼睛和鼻孔。当“绘图”这到这幅画,我用一些发现对象三维,作为部分的图纸。(见黑暗线的母亲的嘴)
步骤五
接下来,我用泰坦浅黄色淡化的白色斑点的间的区域。也开始使用生赭沿着外面的动物,以区分动物从背景、衰落它作为你更进一步的动物。
第六步
继续加深外部和建立在动物的颜色
第七步
我决定我需要添加一些颜色背景来帮助区分它。我把几个釉彩的绿松石(Phthalo),同时仍然继续添加更多的细节到长颈鹿
第八步
继续加深,添加细节直到你对结果都很满意。别忘了签你的画。
原文如下：
Step One
I am using Multimedia Artboard for this piece. I started out finding some pictures and papers that I wanted to use. The diamond pattern, the stripes, and the snake pattern came from tissue paper that I found. I added some musical notes from a music book with a copyright from the early 1900’s. The pictures were from some I found in the public domain. I cut what I wanted and “glued” them onto my 18 x 24 Artboard. I also use watercolor paper and canvas at times. Any of them will work. I glue the papers on with matte medium if they are very lightweight (like the tissue) or with soft gel gloss if they are heavier (like the paper with grass in it ). Then you need to let your paper dry. I usually dry mine over night so as to be sure it is very dry!
Step Two
After coming back to my painting, I first put on some acrylic glazes over the whole page. ( here I used Sap Green Hue, Quinacridone Crimson, and Quinacridone / Nickel Azo Gold) When the glazes were dry (you can dry them with a hair dryer), I added some thicker paint with a large piece of cork with the green (the cork is about 3 1/2 in. in diameter. I also used a small wine cork for the smaller circles. I applied Violet Oxide with a pallet knife on top of a piece of gridded plastic. and removed the plastic right away. Be sure to wash the plastic immediately after using it on one spot, and before you put it in another spot. You can use other found objects to stamp paint or use as a stencil. I often use things such as card board, bubble wrap, plastic wrap, gauze, etc. At this point, I decided to put some found objects on the papers to add more texture. I used gauze, skeleton leaves, and eyelash yarn. Again I let it dry over night
Step Three
I decided that I didn’t like the bright red colors (the Alizarin Crimson) of the painting so I put white gesso over some parts of the painting to tone it down. Once that was dry, I put a glaze over the whole painting with Quinacridone/ Nickle Azo Gold.
Step Four
Once the gold glaze was dry, I did add some spots of violet oxide with my pallet knife on various areas to bring out that color some more. Next I had to decide what the subject of my painting was going to be. I decided on a mother and baby giraffe. I tried to draw it on, but found I could not see the picture at all, so I drew it on with white paint instead. I also put in the black for the eyes and nostrils. When “drawing” this onto the painting, I used some of my found objects that were three dimensional, to use as parts of the drawing. (See the dark line of the mother’s mouth)
Step Five
Next, I used Titan Buff to tone down the white of the areas between the spots. Also begin to use Raw Umber along the outside of the animals so as to differentiate the animals from the background, fading it as you go further from the animals.
Step Six
Continue to darken the outside and build up the colors in the animals
Step Seven
I decided I needed to add some color to the background to help differentiate it. I put several glazes of Turquoise (Phthalo), while still continuing to add more details to the giraffes
Step Eight
Continue to darken and add details until you are satisfied with the result. Don’t forget to sign your painting.
