8. Refresh your memory!
Acrylic painting- work background, large areas of similar color first. Do NOT paint small details first.
For this project: Directly mix colors needed. Do not underpaint- too time consuming. Work densely by applying your paint in layers and making sure the white of the canvas doesn’t come through.
If blending colors- plan to make 3 colors that transition into each other. Dry brush to stamp and blend in between colors.
Brushstrokes are ok!
Colored pencil: DON’T rush into burnishing. You will end up with a solid, heavy, one color shape. Work in layers. Shadows first. Under colors first (complements, darker colors). Overlay color and burnish with the lightest possible color.
Don’t burnish! Color with lines or marks in a new way.
Watercolor- similar to colored pencil. Shadows first. Let it dry! Backgrounds first! Anything that is to be a WHITE highlight, keep it the white of the paper. Stretch your paper with masking tape on a board first.
Chalk Pastel- backgrounds first. Draw shapes of color. Only blend between color when needed. Layer dark color first and smudge/press into charcoal paper. Layer color over each other to create new color. Use pastel pencils to get more realistic details as you move into the features of the portrait.
Don’t sketch with pencil very heavily no matter what color media you’re using.
Remember we’re going for tenebrism/chiaroscuro. Choose a media that will allow for the most drama!
