OMG! You have to Plan FIRST!! Painting & Drawing Tips

Don't you just want to Fling Paint?

You know, grab a brush, drop it in paint and "Go For It".  It seems so loose and free.  Sounds wonderful.  

Unfortunately it is not the Real World.  

A few of my picture from my sighting of the Ring-necked Pheasants

Planning needs to happen.  I don't mean happy mistakes aren't possible. And yes you can throw all the paint around you want.  But at some point, you will step back.  You will study what happened and you will plan your next move.  For some this happens very early in the process of creation.  For others it may not happen till near the end. Instinct will keep you moving.  But isn't that just planning on your feet.  

I like to paint and draw wildlife. I definitely find that requires planning.  Especially at the beginning. I find the more planning and decision making I make at the beginning the better I am able to relax and go with the flow once I get working - the Loose and Free stage. 

So what do I do? 

 Find my reference Material

I wanted to paint a picture of the Ring-necked Pheasant.  I saw some in the fall and got great pictures when I was out at Riefel Bird Sanctuary last year.  The idea has been percolating in my head ever since.

Once I gather together a group of pictures I study them for a ideas as to what I can do.  Unfortunately, birds and animals do not pose in interesting ways and in good lighting for me.  I usually end up taking ideas from 3 or 4 pictures and putting them together.  I picked the side view of the pheasant in the top picture and the front view of the two together in the second picture.   

I went for a walk in our local park with Max looking for a bit more to include in the foreground.  I felt 'just grass' for such a large area might be pushing it.  I may suggest a few dead leaves and in the background I would like to suggest a few branches and foliage. 

This sketch is only about 2 x 4 inches.  It doesn't need to be large but it does need to be in the same proportion as your painting.  

Next I turned to a few No-tan Sketches to test my layouts.  Here is the one I liked.  When I make the sketch I try and make it the same proportions as the original will be.  I look at what is happening in my picture on each side of center.  I also divide the length and width into thirds to see what is happening at those intersecting points.  

Now it is time to put my birds on the paper.  I like to use transfer paper to place my drawings.  That way I can "test" my layout without any erasing.  (See The Tears Free way to Transfer your Image) 

I liked the feel of this layout.  It looks like an interesting arrangement and interesting shapes. 

Just about ready to paint but first . . .
I need to decide how I would paint it.  What order I wanted to do things.  I decided that I wanted to try some molding paste to break up the large grassy shape in the foreground and the dark background.  Also I wanted to be sure to save the heads of the birds and a few strong lines so I put frisket on them.  This allows me to be free and easy with the background/foreground colours and still preserve my important lines.  I know, you are wondering if I will ever get to be Loose and Free with my paint. 
   

Birds with molding paste on the foreground and background and birds with a bit of frisket.  

Ok!!!While waiting for the molding paste to dry I can mix my paints. Finally,  I am Ready to Fling Paint!!  See you in my next post.  

This is the paste I used. It depends on how thick you put it on as to how long it takes to dry.

The Why and What of ART BATTLES - Painting & Drawing Tips

12 Artists.  20 Minutes.  A few markers, a pencil, piece of  charcoal and a few pieces of Conte.

Why on earth would any Artist go into Battle with just that!!

Wendy in the Heat of Battle

We’ll definitely if I had a choice I would have taken more materials with me.  And for sure arranged for more time.  But for this Art Battle - a Sketch Off - that was it. 

Why did I do it?  . . .  The event was put on by our local Art Associations at the Surrey Art Center and I like to support them.  But for many this might be over the top as support.  I felt I would go ahead because it was bonus for me as well.   

Confidence

Confidence?!  I am sure you could have  thought of a 100 other things that I could have done to build my confidence as an artist.  But I just felt it was time.  It really made me step out of my box and announce “I Am An Artist”.  It was an important step for me and one I felt I wanted to try.  I have seen several of my artist friends go into an Art Battle and I felt I could do that too. 

Fiona Tang's work from Heat 1

Practice

No, this was not my first Battle.  I have tried two others.  Each time I participate I have learned valuable skills: how to think on your feet; how to shut out distraction;  how to relax under pressure.  And each time I have entered, I have felt a bit more confident and able to do more.  Competing in a Community Battle, no matter how small gives that practice.  Who knows, some day you might have a chance to go in a BIG One.  And you will be ready.

PJ Patten, another contestant, hard at work

Exposure

Art Battles are another way to get yourself out there.  They generally do lots of advertisement ahead of time promoting the event and the artists.  They certainly support and promote you while you compete and afterwards usually promote your art from the event.  Ok, I know, it is not your best work.  But don’t worry.  Everyone, including yourself, will cut you some slack.  They don’t expect it to look like a studio piece you have laboured over for days.  It is just neat to see you up there, creating something, with unfamiliar materials in such a short time. 

Tom Godin, 2nd Place, this was one of his drawings

Challenge

 Ok. This is really a challenge.  And one you may not want to take on.  I wanted to try.  I first tried in my studio to see if I could in fact, draw anything in 20 minutes that was decent.  I was surprised.  I didn’t realize I could.  So then, I thought, why not.  Really, there is nothing to lose. 

My drawing for the 1st Heat

Heron by the Shore - Ink & Graphite Sold

Fun

I know, you think I have a warped sense of Fun.  But really, it is pretty neat to be in the limelight.  Spotlights are on you.  People come up and tell you how wonderful you are.  (Believe me, that Feels Awesome).  Everyone makes you feel so wonderful.  As you’re busy drawing, they are praising your work.  It is a moment of being a star.  What could be more fun then that. 

Working on my picture for the Championship Round - Bald Eagle with his Salmon

But to go into Battle you need to not only think of the Why’s but the What’s. . .

What are you going to Paint/Draw????.......

Now that is a quandary.  Believe me, I had discussions with myself and others for ideas.  In the end, I felt I had to be true to myself.  I needed to draw wildlife.  I want to be known as a wildlife artist so it follows, that is what I needed to draw.  This is also follows in the Why of It.  If I am doing it for exposure, than I want viewers to see what I am known for.

Bald Eagle with his Salmon - Ink & Graphite -  My drawing for the Championship Round (Thanks CJ for this picture)

More What's to consider . . . .

What would you DRAW?? Here is some of the other Entries.  (I do apologize I do not have all the artists names. I thought I had them all but  . . . )

What are your goals and what will you do to prepare for the Art Battle. My goals were simple.  I wanted to draw good pictures of my heron and eagle.  I wanted to enjoy myself and not waste my time being nervous.  I felt I achieved both of those goals.  When it is a People's Choice activity, it is important not to be concerned about whether you win or not.  At these events people will vote for their friends first, and I respect that.  All the artists work is good and all need to be recognized for getting up in front of people and drawing.  Their friends are their supporters and they should vote for them.  

As to preparation, there is lots you can do there.  See my post for my last Battle, Art Battle Here I Come  to see how I prepared.  I hope it gives you some ideas.  The other side of practicing has a big personal benefit for you.  Practicing to draw your subject, in my case practicing my Heron was great.  I really got to know my subject better and I know next summer when I am painting at the beach, it will be easier to capture that heron on my paper.  Check out my post Do you know Your Subject, this is a 3 part series I did on the benefits of working in series.  

Yes, I WON - First Place.  As you can tell, I was and still am THRILLED!! (Thanks CJ for capturing this moment) 

A Special Thanks to Melissa Burgher and Joanne Dennis for all their work in putting this event together.  Also a  Special Thanks to CJ, one of my awesome supporters, she took some awesome pictures and shared them with me.  She even took a short video which I will share on Instagram.   And Super Special Thanks to my daughter, Cathy, who came and took LOTS of pictures of the whole Event. 

Have you been in an Art Battle?  Have any advice? Suggestions?  How did you decide what to draw?

Have you tried your hand at Tangles? Painting & Drawing Tips

October is Inktober!!

Every artist that loves his ink pens knows that.  It is a time to get the ink flowing and marks flying across the page. Well, actually any time is a good time to draw but October is the month to celebrate it.  Artists that love their Tangles have their own way to celebrate their ink work.  They have . . .

Inktober Tanges 2019

My Inktober Tangles Collage - WIP

Yes, I am one of those crazy people that is drawn to the tangles.  What are tangles?  They are patterns that are created through drawing a sequence of lines and/or dots.  Often called Zentangles.  Since that is a trademark name, the name "Tangles" is used instead.  

Not too late to start. . .

I know the month is half over but really, who has time to draw something every day.  You can still get started.  Just do a few patterns each day and you will soon catch up.  Here is the official list of the patterns for Inktober Tangles 2019 plus links to each pattern. Many like myself do collages putting as many of the month's patterns on one page.  (BTW I am only on #11)

With the Inktober Tangles lists comes new ideas. . .

The 'tangle a day' for this month has already proved very interesting. Although many on the list I am familiar with it is always neat to learn new ones.  And to see how others use them and decorate them. (Note the presence on Facebook and Instagram)  Here are two that are now new favourites: Toodles and Lola.  But I must admit, the googly eyes in TunnelVizion really peeked my interest too.  (Bottom left corner of collage)  

Both Lola and Toodles have basic shapes but can be enhanced with shading and little extra marks

What do I get out of Tangling . . . 

1. Well of course, Enjoyment.  The feeling of a sharp line curving and winding on a crisp white background.  Yes, I have found I am driven to the curvy patterns more than the sharp corners of the angular ones. 

2.  Confidence.  Winging it with my Pen: Working with tangles without pencil guides really gives me confidence.  I have a better understanding how one stray mark 'doesn't wreck things'.  In fact, if I don't like a mark, I have many ideas how to change it to something else within my pattern.  (Actually if you count how many steps go into a tangle, you will quickly go to shortcuts.  Which of course means not a lot of pencil guides.) 

3.  Understanding.  Tangles are patterns.  Seeing a group of tangles and figuring out how to construct them helps in all my other painting and drawing tasks.  Determining the pattern in trees, feathers, hair are just some of the places I use it. 

4.  Inspiration.  I have taken my tangles and patterns into my other art.  Combining my Wildlife with my tangles was challenging but fun.  I really enjoy the new story they tell.

The WHY of Your Art - Painting & Drawing Tips

Why do you paint/draw?

Why that subject??

Why that method?

Why that medium?

Why do you make the choices you make in your practice?

TREATS FOR MY SWEETHEART - Matted 20 x 24, Watercolour $700

You are driven to create.  That part is easy but have you determined WHY you do what you do?  What drives you?

Having a Show brings this all to the forefront. . .

I just finished a 2 week show at the Pop Up Gallery here in Surrey.  It was wonderful to see a large selection of my coastal wildlife work in a location right befitting it.  Right beside the coastal shore.  My herons, eagles, seals could smell the salt water, they were so close.  It was wonderful.

But . . . .people were asking all kinds of WHY questions.  

They expect an interesting, articulate answer.  Definitely hard to do if you haven't spent some time with yourself.  Some artists journal their thoughts.  Despite being a writer, that doesn't seem to be my way.  My thoughts rattle around in my head.  They emerge in my titles, my write ups, my advertising. . . And of course, in my work.

My Story

The first big why?
Why do I paint/draw wildlife?  I am curious, fascinated, drawn to wildlife.  As much as I love the scenic west coast, I find it hard to paint it unless it has some life in it.  A seagull, a bird, a deer.  Somehow that gives meaning to me.  I use only my own reference material.  This meets my second goal.  To share that feeling of awe and wonderment of seeing my bird or animal in the wild.  To sit on a log and watch a woodpecker feed its baby or a mother seal teach her pup to swim is special.  Something to share.

But why the method? the medium? the style?
This becomes more about my practice.  I work in three mediums: permanent ink, graphite and watercolour.  Together or separately.  How do I decide?

Sometimes it is the challenge . . .
Can I draw a realistic animal using just my line work in ink?  I had been working a lot with my pens and felt I was ready for that step.  Just line work.  No, watercolour to cover an errant line.

HERON: TIDES RUNNING - Watercolour,  Matted 8 x 10, $130 

Sometimes the style
Can I mix abstract with very tight realism? I had been playing around with ideas in my sketchbook and so decided to try it. 

JUNCOS AT THE FEEDER - Ink & Watercolour mounted on Wood Cradle, 8 x 10 $200

Sometimes the place . . .
Painting Plein Air, means painting from life.  I work smaller, 5 x 7 or 8 x 10.  I need to work quickly.  My animals wont stay there forever.  I chased these little pigs around the pig style for several hours to paint my Three Little Pigs!!   Maybe this was more of a Challenge than just a place thing. 

THE THREE LITTLE PIGS - Watercolour SOLD

Sometimes it is a memorable moment . . .
This little seal popped up to watch me as I kayaked on the Campbell River.  We were both there for the Salmon Run.  Him to eat, me to photograph.  He let me get a great shot then turned, flipped his tail and splashed me.  Not such a great good bye. 

UP FOR AIR - Coloured Pencil, SOLD

Sometimes I really want to do meticulous realism  . . .
I look to my pencils for this.  They allow me to convey the detail I crave, give me the textures I want, and the control that I need.  For me, the subject comes alive.

BIG BLUE - Matted 12 x 20, Graphite $450

Have you answered your Why's?  
Sometimes, my Why is simply to enjoy myself.  I love the feel of my pen on paper, the joy of watching colours flowing together and the soft blend of textures in graphite.  But the other riding goal

Bringing My Birds and Animals to Life on Paper

Drawing with Carbon Pencils - a Trip to the Dark Side - Painting & Drawing Tips

 As you know I am a Black Ink Artist.

I love the crisp, sharp, dark Mark that my pen makes. 

It doesn’t bother me that it is permanent, never to be erased.  I can live with that.  I know many can’t. 

However, my artwork is not always about crisp, sharp, dark Marks.  . .

QUAIL ON THE GRASS - 8 x 10 Matted, Carbon Pencil $130

I am also a Pencil Artist.  I love the soft, touch of graphite on paper.  Many of you have seen my pencil drawing and know what I mean.  Special Moments, below is a classic example of what I like to do with my graphite pencils.  

SPECIAL MOMENTS - 16 X 20 Matted, Graphite, $550

As you can see the graphite can be blended to make the coat of the seals sleek, you can feel it.  On the other hand, the rough coarse rocks are enhanced by the course texture of the graphite.  I love that.

But there is a problem . . . .

I am always searching for a better Dark. Referring to a value scale with #1 being white, the #10 being the darkest.  It is a better #10, that I yearn for.  My pencils are a mixture of graphite and lead or clay or carbon.  With the lead or clay mix, there is always a gray tone to the graphite work.  The carbon blend has a darker, blacker, colder tone.  I find with my animals I am drawn more to the gray tone.  Hence my use of Derwent or Caron d'Ache pencils. 

But change is in the wind. . . .

I have found a new Dark Side.  Carbon pencils by Wolff.  Inexpensive. Easy to use. And produce a very dark, dark.  I decided to give them a try.  (Carbon pencils are a combination of charcoal and graphite)

Drawing with Carbon Pencils - a Trip to the Dark Side . . . .  with my Quail

A selection of Wolff's Carbon Pencils, vinyl eraser & kneaded eraser

Notes from my trip:

1.     Loved the dark, using the BB and BBB pencils I could get lovely darks without pressing too hard.  Then meant I could use the tooth of paper for added texture.  A big plus

2.    The B, BB and BBB were soft. Creamy. Smooth. To draw with.  A pleasure to work on the paper.  However, the H and HH were very hard, scratchy.  Definitely not the same appeal there. 

Comparison Marks with some of my Pencils

3.  Although the Dark was great, it was difficult to get lighter values.  Pressing lightly with B pencils give a lighter value but can be laborious for a larger area.  However, changing to the harder pencils results in not only a lighter value but a different hue as well.  Note on the practice sheet - the B pencils are a cold dark black where the H and HH pencils have a more silver tone to them.

4.  Erasing and softening.  This really was the issue.  Lifting the carbon with the kneaded eraser was difficult.  It certainly didn’t want to come off easily.  Softening the mark with the kneaded eraser was much easier.  However, it changed the mark.  It is a subtle change but then you know, sometimes those subtle marks can make or break your image.  When I look at the quail on the upper left side of his chest, the marks there are blurry.  It is not my photography that did that.  I had decided to change the marks I was making and as soon as I touched it with the kneaded eraser, I could see I had lost some of my texture.  (That granular effect that is prevalent throughout the image.)  This is something to think about when working with the carbon.  Your mark is not easily changed once put down.  (I know, a bit like my black ink. I have learned to live with ink's permanence so I know I can learn to manage it with carbon).

5.  Fixative.  Still very necessary.  Drawings need to be protected, just like graphite.  Workable fixative can be used, and drawings can be worked on again after spraying if needed.

6.  Archival.  Carbon pencils like graphite pencils will not fade.  If handled right carbon will far outlive the paper/support, it is on.

Will I give up my graphite for carbon?

No.  I will use the carbon pencils for some drawings but when I want that hyper-realism, I will stay with my graphite.  I like the range of values I get with it.  I enjoy the realism of my birds and animals in the silver tones.  I find them reminiscence of old photographs.  That sense of time gone by.  That grounding of history that comes with it.  It is a language I love.

 

But yes, I will use them again.  Like my pens, they have their own enticement.  Their rich, velvety, matte lines draw my eye and will bring me back to draw with them again.

How about you?  Do you draw with carbon pencils?
