Painting  1 Assignments for the weekend of July 17 – 19.

 

2 paintings measuring 9 x 12 of cylinders due on Monday posted on blackboard and on your own personal blog. Mix and use your nine values of gray.

 

1 painting is to be done following the process I demonstrate on the Youtube video “Painting a cylinder with planes” you are to paint along with me as I paint the cylinder on the video. Show the different planes I discuss on the video ( no blending) Use the image below to help you get started with the drawing.

 

1 painting of a cylinder that is smooth(blended) and curving  as I demonstrate on the Youtube video “painting a cylinder part 2” For this one you are to set up a cylinder or cylindrical form preferably without decoration in your studio space with one light source. Make sure that you address and demonstrate the different areas of value such as

·      Highlight

·      Light

·      Halflights 

·      Darklights

·      Turning is actually the edge of the Form shadow

·      Reflected light 

·      Cast shadow.

You do not have to label them but I want to be able to distinguish the different values that represent each area.

 

In addition to uploading your finished cylinder painting Upload a picture of the actual cylinder and light set up you are painting.

 

 

Also make sure for next week you have ready with you the following colors

Yellow ochre and Red ochre.

Red ochre comes in a wide variety of names such as Venetian red, English red, Indian red. Any of these will do. They are all the same pigment with slight variations. It is an earthy muted or dull red. 

 

Do not use cadmium red or alizaring red or permanent red.

 

If it is not possible to find I can give you some we just have to make arrangements for you to come to the university and pick it up.
