@flint ravine

flint ravine
#

U wanna paint the 3d looking parts too?

glossy dock
#

The clay objects u mean,

#

?*

#

Or the details in the background

#

I wanna paint everything on there except the clay men, the feathers and string

#

Idk how to do the background thats my biggest concern

flint ravine
#

Ah okay thats easier then

glossy dock
#

Any help would be appreciated man this is for a final school project

flint ravine
#

What paint are you using?

glossy dock
#

Acrylic

flint ravine
#

Icic

#

I recommend using a sponge for the base layer (all the basic blotchy parts) leaving out the light and bright (for example eye and sun)areas, and layering using multiple shades of brown, nblack, dark blue, grey etc

#

Paying attention to make the parts darker that are darker in the painting for example the edges

#

Then once u have that u can carefully paint the eye, bird and sun (pre sketch those before eversthinf maybe)

glossy dock
#

yeah

flint ravine
#

Keep in mind its easier to make light parts dark than vice versa

glossy dock
#

My project is in 2 days would u say this is a realistic painting to paint

glossy dock
flint ravine
#

Could be risky and might end up a lil muddy

glossy dock
#

actually wait

#

Its due monday

#

so 4 days

flint ravine
#

Yea that should work

glossy dock
#

so for the background, what should my first step be, i have never painted b4

flint ravine
#

Good luck🫡 lmk if i can be of any more help later

flint ravine
#

Pay attention to where its darker and where its lighter in the ref

glossy dock
#

So i dont use a brush?

flint ravine
#

Leave out the white and yellow oarts

flint ravine
glossy dock
#

Alright

#

One more thing

flint ravine
#

Yea?

glossy dock
#

How do i make these rocks

flint ravine
#

When u are making the bg with the sponge, make it dark there with lighter parts in this⬇️ area, wait for it to dry and use a brush ti add details

IMG_0053.png
glossy dock
#

ahh alright

#

And what colors for bg

#

Im heading to store acrylic colors

flint ravine
#

Do u know how to mix colours

glossy dock
#

No but i can youtube it

flint ravine
#

Or magenta,cyan,yellow

flint ravine
#

Orange is good too if u have extra money cuz it can be annoying to get a vibrant orange

#

I recommend getting bigger paint tubes and nit small painting kits cuz this is a bug painting and working with a sponge will make that easier for u

glossy dock
#

But i could put the paint in a plate or something

#

Even from a smaller tube?

flint ravine
#

Oh no yes ofc but just dont get those 5cm small tubes yk?

glossy dock
#

Ah yea okay

#

How expensive r acrylic paints?

flint ravine
#

If u like painting i recommend getting actual tubes like pic 1 instead of tiny ones like 2, usually cheaper too

@kindred mural

#

This is the thing

#

Idk how to make it

#

i suppose i have to start the background first right?

kindred mural
#

Yes background first but make sure you have everything lightly sketched out onto the canvas so you know where things are going to be

glossy dock
#

Alright so the eye and sun that would be

#

and how do i start the background what would be my first step

#

I have never painted b4

#

@somber crater

#

Im trynna paint thus

#

This

somber crater
glossy dock
#

Excluding the two clay guys feather and strings

somber crater
#

Paint the entire canvas a solid color

glossy dock
#

For the bg?

somber crater
#

You could but the perpuse of under painting is so the colors above it would be affected by the underpainting since colors aren't 100 percent opaque

#

So just pick a color the you think matches the mood you're good for

glossy dock
#

what do u think i should go with

#

I wanna make the exact same painting btw

somber crater
#

Idk

#

Maybe a warm color

#

Like a yellow or brown

flint ravine
# somber crater Under painting

I wouldnt make one since they are in a time crunch and also cuz the entire painting is grayish. The only colour is specifically laid on top as accents..

glossy dock

#

ok

#

I have a fee que

#

Few questions

#

So 1. Should i first sketch the sun and eye

#
  1. As you can see in the painting its split in half. One side is blackish one side is orangeish so with a pencil should i separate these parts
IMG_2117.png
#

@flint ravine

flint ravine
#
  1. yes also sketch a line for the divide 2. since theres orange everywhere start with that and ignore the divide, then tape off the edge of the right side and add black to the left side only
glossy dock
#

Thanks

#

@flint ravine also do i mix in water with my orange paint?

flint ravine
