This document provides techniques and advice from various artists on creating paintings and drawings that effectively use elements like line, color, tone, perspective, and negative space to represent depth, space, texture, and atmosphere. It encourages experimenting with different mediums, techniques, points of view, and ways of combining or layering materials. The artists discussed include Alberto Giacometti, Richard Diebenkorn, Elizabeth Blackadder, Ben Nicholson, Patrick Heron, Roy Kitaj, Henry Moore, Peter Doig, Hughie O'Donohugh, Jim Dine, Gertrude Hermes, Anselm Kiefer, Henri Matisse, Mary Fedden, Paul Nash, Picasso, and Angie Lewin
Drawing and painting spaces and objects
- 1. Alberto Giacometti Using line to capture space. Look at edges and outlines / proportions/perspective
- 2. Richard Diebenkorn See the world in terms of colour ‘planes’ and shapes interlocking. How do colours interact to create ‘depth’ and ‘space’ in a picture?
- 3. Create a semnse of place and ‘atmosphere by considering the tone of each part of the image, in relation to the others. Choose an interesting angle of view.
- 4. Use tone to explore how objects and spaces can make a pattern /structure within the frame.
- 5. Elizabeth Blackadder (Above) Renato Guttuso Still-life in Studio (left) Choose views in which shapes/textures/colours contrast complement each other.
- 6. Ben Nicholson Try combining two or three views together by linking perspective lines and colours
- 7. Patrick Heron (above) Ben Nicholson Explore views which are ‘framed’; views through.
- 8. Roy Kitaj Isolate particular shapes and use them to create a pictorial structure. Experiment with colour/texture within a framework.
- 9. Roy Kitaj Use your observed drawings for print – cut stencils and draw over/under printed layers.
- 10. Henry Moore Peter Doig (above) Combine contrasting media an techniques. Use them to create and suggest qualities which ‘enliven’ your subject
- 11. Hughie O’Donohugh Limit yourself to one medium but explore a range of techniques to create marks and striking contrasts.
- 12. Jim Dine Explore how contiuous line can create a sense of unity and ‘flow’. Explore how the placement of an image within the page can be used as part of the work – negative space.
- 13. Gertrude Hermes Explore how many different textures and surfaces can be expressed through varied mark-making.
- 14. Anselm Kiefer Build an image up using layers of media. Explore unusual materials and their potential.
- 15. Henri Matisse Draw with a round brush and ink. Consider how to shape the mark to express the form of the object you’re looking at.
- 16. Mary Fedden Use ink in at least three different ways to create variety of line and tone – capturing the character of your subject.
- 17. Paul Nash - woodcut Use only black/white to describe shape/space/form/texture. Scratch though a dark layer to a lighter ground.
- 18. Linocut Draw with white on black and use college to create variety an the illusion of form/depth.
- 19. Picasso still life lino- three colours Simplify your image – leave details out. Look for the most significant lines/shapes for a good composition of contrasts.
- 20. Angie Lewin Explore ‘reversing-out’ and the stylisation of parts o the drawing.
- 21. Mono print Allow the brush-mark and medium to suggest the effects of light and texture as you observe the subject.
