Hi Joel -

Good job, again. You brought the gouache of Charlie B., and the Painter reproduction of Mousiavinci as done by Caravaggio. You also included the search for Complement...

Charlie B. - Excellent job here, but the emphasis was supposed to be like the Rembrandt painting - Grade - C.

Mousiavinci - Excellent - A

Complement - A

Perspective of Face/Head - Unfinished - No Grade

This week, I want to refocus your attention on Chiaroscuro and thinking in Lights/Darks. Please redo Charlie B. as Rembrandt, but this time I want you to use the Painter program to start. Second, after you have finished, then do a gouache of Charlie, using the finished Painter version.

Third, please finish the "visual illusion". I have several reasons for you to do this:

1. Brush control - I want you to learn to use the brush more articulately.
2. Paint control - I want you to learn to use paint - in this exercise, attempt to have every block as dark as the one across from it.
3. Composition control - I want you to realize that excellent composition starts with every mark you make. If you prepare well, then your picture will turn out well.

Finally, please make a google search for Perspective as it applies to the face. Look for George Bridgman, and/or Ron Lemen.

I look forward to seeing you next week!

Paul

2. Use Painter to make Fivel like Caravaggion painted him
3. Google "Perspective" as it is applied to people - check out Ron Lemen or George Bridgman

Good job again on Monday Joel.

Fruit under a different type of light (black light) - N/C - not completed.

Computer Drawing of Skycar - A


Coming Assignment
This week we are looking to help you develop more drama in your paintings and drawings - much of that means that I want you to increase the quantity of the darker values. Some great examples are Caravaggio and Rembrandt. Look them up on ARC, or Art Renewal Center.

Google these words: complement, chiaroscuro - print out definitions of them.

Assignment 3 - complete the "gouache" skycar in red on illustration board, with Hollywood, Chinese Temple depicted underneath. Remember - "less is more".

Good job today Joel!

Supplies & Tools: A

Completed Assignments: A

This week I want you to work on

1. Finishing the gouache Skycar
2. Finish drawing the Skycar's camouflage on the canvas
3. Begin a Painter version of the Skycar, using one point perspective

Good job at Sweetwater - the pictures are great!

April 19

Good job today Joel.

You brought most of your equipment, except for your toolbox - B.

You did a great job with your drawing assignments - A.

This week, I want you to focus on drawing.

1. Architectural drawing - that is, use perspective to develop a drawing on the Illustration Board. We will paint it next week, with a new medium - gouache.

2. Value Study - Prepare this "simple" drawing (meaning you can draw normally without perspective accuracy), but putting in the appropriate shadows, if the sun where high right.

I included some photos of planes as an example of what you might enjoy doing.
