Course Program:
Section 1.Introduction to the theory of composition
Section 2. Creating a sketch
Learn how to determine the format of future work, use the golden ratio when building a composition, set the rhythm of the work and use color.
Meeting with the author of the course. He tells what is the starting point in the painting, what course provides and what factors can prevent you from speeding up this process, as well as what are the features of working in a foreign market.
You will learn what the format is, what it affects in painting and how to determine it for future work. Also you will study the interaction of objects in the format.
You will learn what the golden ratio is and how this technique is used in painting, as well as analyze compositional solutions using the example of the author of the course.
Using the example of the author of the course, you will understand what
stylization is, how it affects emotions, and what is the first priority:
format or stylization?
You will study the features of working on a large-format painting, the nuances of creating it
background and color solutions, composition construction and transmission of light and shadows.
You will transfer the development of ideas to the sketch, adding details of future work. You will learn how to prepare the canvas independently, get acquainted with the concept of imprimatur and start creating a monochrome sketch as well as what it is needed for and how to work with tonality in monochrome.
You will add volume to the sketch objects and refine the light-shadow areas, to use different materials and not go into details too much creating a sketch.
Complete program: 4 sections
You will refine the necessary number of details in the sketch, learn how to distribute tonal spots and use compositional moves in the sketch, as well as set the rhythm with the help of an ornament and give the sketch a texture.
You will learn how to transform a tonal sketch into a color one, create an imprimatur, and work with shadows.
Section 4. From sketch to canvas. Working on the painting
The lesson is dedicated to converting a tonal sketch to a color one. You will create imprimatur and outline sketch objects, learn how to combine colors in painting with brush strokes, and learn the main differences between working on tonal and color sketches.
You will clarify the details of the main figure, get acquainted with the concept of artistic selection, learn how to arrange shadow and color zones and create the painting with two layers.
You will study the features of working on a large-format painting, the nuances of creating it
background and color solutions, composition construction and transmission of light and shadows.
You will start working on a large-format painting. You will study the materials for creating the imprimatur and the order of work, set the overall color scheme and work with textures.
You will study the features of the various painting materials for
working on a large-format canvas, outline the composition, work with shadows and refine the color and light spots.
The main objects of the composition
You will start working with the color on the canvas, learn to use colorsand give volume to brushstrokes, introduce cold and warm shades, set the shape of the main object and learn to emphasize the
context of the painting with shadows.
Secondary objects and details
You will work through the minor details of the painting, learn to follow the rhythm at all stages of creating the canvas and work with the shadow areas.
