I had four lovely participants at my #painting #workshop yesterday. 🤩
We learned a lot together, experimenting with different techniques, colours and brushes, to discover the magical properties of #watercolour.And look at the lovely things my workshoppers produced!
I'm so proud of what everyone achieved in just 5 intense hours (which whizzed by!)
👏 👏My next workshop is March next year: https://janetomlinson.com/products/painting-workshop

i'm beginning to learn that the best way for me to draw without overwhelming self-criticism is to work fast, and not overthink lines or colour choices.
these are rough sketches for an underwater RPG i'm designing and building in adventure game studio.
-
more #pixelart concept work
haven't learned how to shade yet, so i'm working on exaggerating structure and volume with lines
-
really struggled to maintain a steady pace with a digital painting course, and i realized it was because i didn't see a clear path to game assets from what i was doing
realized i'd be better off to paint things i'd like to see in games i make
rough sketch of an atmospheric diving suit in a cave @320x200
tough re-learning pixel art!

after a many-month break, i'm back on my #learntopaint course.
(feel free to mute this hashtag, as i'm posting my experiences of learning how to paint digitally here. they're all painfully rough sketches, meant to teach me the fundamentals of painting. they're not finished pieces. they're more like course notes - and demonstrate that someone with absolutely no painting skill can learn how to given enough time and tears)
today's lecture was on atmospheric perspective - painting the density and diffraction of air in the distance. this is the "things appear bluer the further they are away from you" effect.
there's a lot going on here in terms of light physics that the course only briefly touched upon. it's a topic i'd love to learn in more depth some day.
this experiment involved painting layers of something (waves? trees?) that disappear into the horizon. i struggled with finding the right combination of saturation and intensity for each layer. the layers were also supposed to get thicker/larger closer to the viewer, which i did not capture either.

On Saturday I ran a #paintingworkshop for these five gorgeous people. Everyone created their own #painting while learning to use #watercolour. Don't they look amazing?
“It was absolutely brilliant fun, thanks Jane. I loved the chance to experiment and to find out watercolour isn’t as scary as I thought. 😀“
My next #workshop is April 2024. Will you join me in west #Oxfordshire for a #paintparty?

this #learntopaint assignment was really fun to work on, because i made it up myself.
this lesson was about 'values' in painting, and understanding how levels of grey produce contrast when stuck beside one another. although i intellectually understood that, the actual practice of making it happen with a brush was very different. you *really* begin to understand just how much contrast matters when you start putting whites and blacks side-by-side.
using an limited palette of 9 colour values (off-white to off-black), i challenged myself to repaint this marilyn monroe photograph using a single globby brush, with no alpha blending nor shape dynamics of any kind.
i chose a chunky brush because it made me focus on the values and ignore the details
-
some #learntopaint assignments seem to go better than others.
this time i was learning how to draw contour lines - which involves identifying in a photographic reference where the lines should go.
while some scenes are more obvious than others, there is a surprising degree of deliberate choice and intuitive selection involved.
top right: 'draw this photograph without lifting your pen or looking at your illustration'.
bottom right: find the contouring lines on a photograph of a cliff on the sea
top left: contour lines of a macaw
bottom left: i wanted to have some fun, so i grabbed a frame from the studio #ghibli film 'Only Yesterday' and did my best to represent this complex painting as a series of lines. the house was generally easy - the vegetation was extremely difficult!
-
#learntopaint exercise 3 involved learning what lines, line contrast and contouring lines are
thinking out loud here:
with my personal perceptual style, these are the easiest to see in objects, and i generally don't find it difficult to produce line-art from looking at an object.but what surprised me in the lesson was learning that most lines are implied and not actually visible in any object. usually contouring lines are implied by the contrast of two colours (one light, one dark) that produce the *impression* of a line.
that was a real surprise to me, because i tend to look at things as already being composed of elemental lines... rather than being composed of contrasting colours. i tend to.... skip right to the contours, rather than perceive the colour differences.
-
lesson #2 as i #learntopaint involved exploring different kinds of brushes in PS, from plain old round brushes to texture/pattern brushes
one of the most interesting and difficult parts of the process so far has been dealing with self-criticism... "hey, this one's worse than my last one!"
it's giving me an appreciation of i like or don't like in a painting, and more importantly, what aspects i could change as i work.
moreover, i had to remind myself that the purpose of this lesson was to explore different brush types, and not make a perfect bonsai tree! 😆
-
for the next few months, i'm going to be learning how to paint digitally.
they are NOT going to be good or even worthy of comment. posting them more for myself, so i can look back in a year and say "okay, here's where i started."
but it is also posted as proof that someone with *zero* painting skills can learn how to paint given enough time, patience and teaching.
i'll be posting each painted sketch with the #learntopaint tag so these can be filtered out easily.
