Study Notes
Techniques in Art
- Painting Techniques: Artists use various techniques to apply paint to a surface, influencing texture, appearance, and effect.
- Brushwork:
- Glazing: Applying transparent paint layers to create depth and luminosity.
- Impasto: Thick textured application of paint that stands out from the surface.
- Scumbling: Rubbing a paint layer over a dry layer to create texture and highlights.
- Colour Techniques:
- Color Blocking: Using large solid color areas for strong visual contrasts.
- Color Mixing: Combining colours to create new hues & shades.
- Application Methods:
- Wet-on-Wet: Applying paint onto a wet surface to allow color blending.
- Dry Brush: Using a dry brush with minimal paint for a scratchy, textured effect.
- Special Effects:
- Splattering: Flicking or splashing paint onto the canvas for dynamic effects.
- Dripping: Allowing paint to drip down the canvas (often used in Abstract Expressionism).
Drawing Techniques
- Line Techniques: Artists use various methods to create marks or lines on a surface to represent forms, textures, and details in a drawing.
- Cross-Hatching: Created shading and texture using intersecting lines.
- Hatching: Using parallel lines to build up shading.
- Stippling: Using dots to create texture and shading.
Mediums and Techniques of Art
-
Medium: Refers to the materials used by artists to create a work of art. The material chosen by artists influences the overall message and aesthetic of their work.
- Oil Painting: One of the oldest painting mediums. Dries slowly, yielding a deep, rich color with a distinctive smell.
- Watercolor Painting: Soft, transparent appearance and takes a long time to dry. Primarily used by landscape painters.
- Acrylic Painting: Dries quickly, suitable for fast-working artists. Popular with beginners due to its low price and ease of use.
- Pastels: Dry, powdered pigment held together with a binder. Two types: oil pastels and soft pastels.
- Tempera: Pigments are bound in a water-soluble emulsion (like water and egg yolk) or oil-in-water emulsion (oil and egg).
- Encaustic: Made from beeswax and color pigments. Requires a heat gun or heating element.
- Fresco: One of the three main painting mediums used during the Renaissance. Used to adorn ceilings and walls of churches and public buildings.
- Ink Painting: Simplicity and minimalism are key. Emphasizes the beauty of the line and smooth flow of the ink.
- Gouache Painting: Related to watercolor but uses a thicker pigment.
- Digital Painting: Uses digital devices like iPads, computers, and tablets to create paintings. Offers convenient features, such as modifying brushes to imitate conventional mediums.
-
Technique: Refers to the process an artist uses to manipulate their chosen medium.
- Shading Techniques:
- Blending: Smooth transition between light & dark areas using blending stumps or fingers.
- Smudging: Bluring lines and creating softer transitions (using tools or fingers).
- Textural Techniques:
- Scratching: Creating images or textures by scratching away a top layer of material (paint or ink).
- Erasing: Using an eraser to lift out highlights or correct mistakes.
- Shading Techniques:
Sculpture Techniques
- Artists use various methods to shape and manipulate materials to create three-dimensional forms.
- Carving:
- Subtractive Carving: Removing material (like stone or wood) to create a sculpture.
- Relief Carving: Designs are carved into a flat surface where the image is raised above the background.
- Modeling:
- Additive Modeling: Building up material (like clay) to create a form.
- Casting: Pouring liquid material (like bronze or resin) into a mold to create a solid form.
Printmaking Techniques
- Methods used to create artwork by transferring ink from a matrix (plate, block, or screen) to a surface.
- Relief Printing:
- Woodcut: Carving into a block of wood, inking the surface, and pressing it onto paper.
- Linocut: Similar to woodcut but using linoleum.
- Intaglio Printing:
- Etching: Creating detailed images on a metal plate, inking, and printing onto paper.
- Engraving: Carving directly into a metal plate to create an image.
- Relief Printing:
Digital Art Techniques
- Using electronic tools and software to create or manipulate visual art.
- Digital Painting:
- Layering: Building up complex images and effects using multiple layers.
- Blending Modes: Adjusting how colors and textures interact through layer modes.
- 3D Modeling:
- Mesh Modeling: Creating 3D objects by manipulating a network of points and lines (vertices and edges).
- Digital Sculpting: Shaping digital “clay” to create detailed 3D models.
- Photo Manipulation:
- Layer Masks: Hiding/revealing parts of layers to create composite images.
- Adjusting Layers: Applying changes (non-destructive) to color and tone.
- Digital Painting:
Mixed Media Techniques
- Combining materials and methods.
- Collage: Combining various materials (like paper or fabric) to create a single artwork.
- Textural Effects: Incorporating materials like sand or fabric to create physical textures in paintings or drawings.
