一步一步的水彩画示范了罗兰•李
这幅画代表了一个特定的时间和地点在美国历史上。在早期的后期圣徒教会教会圣徒遭受迫害,被迫从密苏里州的州长伯格斯下达灭绝。在隆冬他们越过密西西比河到伊利诺斯州和买了一束的沼泽地。几年之内他们建了一个城市叫做“瑙沃”成为最大的城市之一在伊利诺斯州,芝加哥比肩甚至在时间。他们在这里建了一座庙神希望崇拜在和平。但是旧的仇恨起来,他们被赶出再一次被暴徒。他们的寺庙是当时几乎完成的《出埃及记》和在一个8周的时间1845年12月至1846年2月成千上万的忠实的圣徒能够收到他们的祝福那里神庙。其中有我自己的一些摩门教先锋的祖先,他们最终乘坐篷车和步行到全国各地的解决现在的犹他州。这幅画描绘了那些几周在冬天的时候,尽管严重的宗教迫害,人们可以参加他们心爱的寺庙。

1。我使用一个特大号的单拱的140磅冷压水彩画纸给这幅画。我第一次泡在浴盆里,然后钉它我的底板。当干我精心地我的图纸使用光4 h铅笔。因为所有的细节和建筑细节却花费了不少时间,使用丁字尺和三角形让我准确的透视线我可以。那是真的对我来说最难的。我使用参考照片,我的照片在一个参考重建寺庙去瑙沃在2009年5月。只有一些老照片和时期绘画存在的原始结构所以艺术许可证是必要和我的研究一起使用。
2。虽然你不能吸引每一个细节开始,我至少需要获得相当精确的比例。当我开始绘画,我才能解除线有点用橡皮擦揉,这样他们不会显示通过漆一样。
3。我希望这幅画有一个温暖的、雄伟的感觉,尽管这是一个冬天的场景。所以我使用大量的黄色和粉红色的天空,那些色彩呼应在阴暗处的寺庙和反射光的雪。
4。这幅画在我的画表进行。注意我是如何销我的草图和参考照片到表我需要了解结构。
5。尽管这是一个冬天的场景我想让一些秋天的颜色来显示通过绘画来温暖起来。现在我做的更谨慎的草图,车,开始画它,因为这将是一个重要的视觉元素。我也将在我的黑暗,所以我可以调整值。
6。这个车是完成和看起来不错所以我可以推进更乏味的工作建立窗户和表面细节在殿里。这部分需要很长时间,但我不想开始在我的整体价值和配色方案是建立。现在我可以清楚地看到这幅画是要。
6。我继续建立价值观现在和去工作在所有的叶子。我的工作有点紧的一些前景灌木识别细节更清晰。经过几周的绘图桌,这幅画完成。

Watercolor Painting of "The Nauvoo Temple - Winter 1845-46"
Step by step watercolor painting demonstration by Roland Lee
This painting represents a specific time and place in American history. During the early days of the LDS Church the Saints suffered from persecution and were forced out of Missouri by an extermination order issued by Governor Boggs. In the dead of winter they crossed the Mississippi River to Illinois and purchased a tract of unwanted swamp land. Within a few years they built a city there called "Nauvoo" which became one of the largest cities in Illinois, rivalling even Chicago at the time. Here they built a temple to God with the hope of worshipping in peace. However old animosities arose and they were driven out once again by mobs. Their temple was barely completed at the time of their exodus and during an 8 week period between December 1845 and February 1846 thousands of faithful saints were able to receive their temple blessings there. Among them were some of my own Mormon pioneer ancestors, who eventually travelled by covered wagon and on-foot across the country to settle what is now Utah. This painting depicts those few weeks in winter when, in spite of severe religious persecution, the people were able to attend their beloved temple.
STEP BY STEP PAINTING DEMONSTRATION BY ROLAND LEE
1. I am using an oversize sheet of Arches 140 lb. cold pressed watercolor paper for this painting. I first soaked it in the bath tub, then stapled it to my backing board. When dry I carefully worked up my drawing using a light 4H pencil. Because of all the detail and architectural details it took quite a while, using a t-square and triangle to get my perspective lines as accurate as I could. That was really the toughest part for me. I am using reference photos which I shot of the re-built temple during a reference trip to Nauvoo in May 2009. Only a few old photos and period paintings exist of the original structure so artistic license is necessarily used along with my research.
2. While you can't draw in every detail at the start, I at least need to get the proportions fairly accurate. As I begin painting, I will lift the lines a little with a kneaded eraser so they won't show through the paint as much.
3. I wanted this painting to have a warm, majestic feel, even though it was a winter scene. So I used lots of yellows and pinks in the dramatic sky, echoing those hues in the shadows of the temple and the reflected light of the snow.
4. The painting underway on my drawing table. Notice how I pin my sketches and reference photos to the table as I need to refer to them for structure.
5. Even though it's a winter scene I want to allow a few autumn colors to show through to help warm the painting up. Now I do a little more careful sketch of the buggy and start to paint it since this will be an important visual element. I also bring in my darks now so I can adjust the values.
6. The buggy is finished and looks pretty good so I can move forward with the more tedious work of establishing the windows and surface details on the temple. This part takes a long time, but I don't want to start before my overall value and color scheme is established. Now I can clearly see where the painting is going.
6. I continue to build up the values now and go to work on all the foliage. I work a little bit tightly on a few of the foreground shrubs to identify detail more clearly. After a couple of weeks on the drawing table, the painting is completed.
