1. Welcome: Introduction to impasto: As Philip Peck and said, isn't being it's loud. Hello and welcome. My name is Simon. I'm here to share my
knowledge as an artist. I will be sharing some
acrylic painting techniques, specifically in Barstow, are also called as extrude
our technique. Basically impasto is an
Italian word for mixture. It is a technique that
uses thick layer of paint. In Barstow. Also gives m 3D look
to your painting, making it look more attractive
and more realistic. Today, we will be painting
and impasto acrylic painting, as shown in the
video. Thank you.
2. Creating background for our Tulips: So let's start with the
impasto paint in technique. Here I've taken an eight by ten previously stretched canvas. You can take any size
of Canvas you want of. It is available with you. These are the knives
and brushes we'll be using throughout
the painting. Although the brushes
completely optional, we'll be using majorly knives
throughout this painting. If you're more
comfortable with brushes, you can always go
ahead and use that. We'll be using one
tiny little brush to paint the stems of
the tulips over you. Now you can color the tulips
in any color you want. I have specifically chosen a window or a purple
color for this painting. And these are the
colors we'll be using throughout this painting. Yes, We just need four
colors for this painting. And modelling paste,
yours specifically, I am using artist loft level
three modelling paste. You can use any
modelling paste which is available in your nearby store. Of course, a lot of white.
3. Creating mixture for impasto painting: So let's start
with that painting by coloring the
background of our canvas. So particularly you're right, I'm going to color
the gammas and white because my painting has
a white background. And direly, you can use brush if you're not comfortable with using a knife over you. I love to use knife as it's
more easy to use naive and go was every
corner of your canvas. And it gives a really thick
and rich and nice look compared to that of a brush. If you are a new user
of palette knife. So this step is for you. So when you are using a life, makes sure you're using
just one end of the knife, coloring the background
of the canvas and you're dabbing it gently
toward the Canvas, makes sure you are using
your gentle hands on the canvas and you're not pressing formally
towards the gammas. Make sure you cover the
entire canvas nicely, every nucleon corner of the
canvas nicely and there's no area left
uncolored with white. You can use any background
color of your choice. But I specifically
used white because I wanted my tulips do Bob, bob really nicely
on that background. I have to use a really thick
layer of color over here. Because I'm using a professional
quality canvas which requires multiple layers to cover the thickness of
the canvas over you. If you're using a level
one or level two Canvas, you won't need so many layers of colors over
here just earlier, with one layer of color
with brush would be fine. Now we are done coloring
background of the canvas. We are preparing a color
for painting the tulip. As I mentioned earlier, I will be coloring a
bubble to loop over. You have taken tons of white and still a little bit
of bubble gum over you will be making shades of purple to color our flower or to make an impasto
textured lava Rovio. Now your volume
mixing the colors. You can choose, any
color of your choice. But make sure that
whatever shades you are preparing for that
flower shouldn't be, should have a little
variations in it for your flower to stand out. For each petal of the tulip
to stand out from each other. As you can see, I'm creating
multiple sheets of poeple. Have not yet added any molding
paste in this mixture. I'm just making
enough quantity of color the first Co. Then after we have mixed
the color properly, we will mix the molding paste
into our color to give it texture and the thickness and
the 3D look to add tulips. Now we'll be adding
a modelling paste. Already created colors. Now you're usually I like to take 5050 quantity of
color and molding paste. Have taken half the amount of molding based on the
amount of color. You can also take
a little lesson, molding paste if you want, on whichever you're
comfortable with. But I usually think with
this particular brand of molding paste of 5250
goes really well and gives that both fixed
shape to your flower or whatever you are trying to create using the molding paste. I'm trying to mix the color nicely with
the morning piece. Now this is a really important
step that you should mix the color really well
with the molding paste. Otherwise, the color gets separated out from
the molding paste, which we do not want. I'm just trying to cover up some remaining
spaces on my canvas which started to show up after
the color dried a little. You can skip this
step if you have a buffer deal painted
background over here.
4. Painting Impasto Tulips: We are done with painting
the background and white. Now we'll start painting the
flower coloring the flower. You know, you're
listening to me. You need to pay attention
to how I am taking color and my knife or VO, script the color from
both the ends and made sure the excess
color is removed. Just breast gently towards the canvas in the
form of a better. While painting the petals or while using a knife
to draw a bit. I made sure that I'm not
just using one color, but I am using mixture of all the variations of
color that we have prepared. The reason we're taking all the colors is because
when you observe a do loop, you will see that
there are shades of color in one seemed to look like it's more darker at the starting the do loop and it gets lighter as you go
towards the end. When you add different color
variation to your tulip, it makes it look more realistic. Now when you're using
a knife to draw up and make sure that you are
pressing the tip gently. And then as you go down
you are pressing it more formally for us to get the
shape off a bit to the real. One more thing to
tell that while, while drawing a doula before you start
drawing, but to look me, some shape of a do
loop in your mind or what kind of loop you want to draw a completely of
full tulip or you want, just wanted to
draw a new bud off a tulip or what she both
do loop exactly you want. If you're not sure
about the shape, how you want to draw, you can always look at some reference pictures from
Pinterest or maybe Internet. To give you a good
idea about this. When you're using your palette
knife to draw a tulip, you have a lot more control
than you think in your knife. So if you have a shape of
pedal already in your mind, you can move your knife
accordingly to meet both fixed shape of dual loop over your perfect shape
of petal a wheel. If you're not able to
do so, don't worry, you can always redo what you have done using your
knife over you. Once again, I would like
to tell that observe the way in which I am scraping the color out of my
palette into my knife. I'm taking the load from one end and making
sure that they exist. Is it removed before
drawing the pattern? This is very important
because when you are drawing a tulip or when you're
drawing a battle on maybe any sheep exist. Remove Tyler helps you to get the perfect shape of whatever
you're trying to drop. It is also very
important to choose the perfect knife before you
start painting and impasto. Shown every stepped in detail, every better how you're supposed
to scrape the color of. You need to scrape the color of your palette from both
the end of the night. And then make sure you
remove the excess color from your knife to get the
perfect shape of. This is important
when you're trying to draw any impulse to bending, not just this one. You'll look carefully
at the way I am moving my knife to
give different shape. My BEDtools. I'm taking a mixture
of all the color or the variance which
we have created to give a nice effect
to outdo a loop. So I'm trying to figure out where to draw the next tulip to make
it look more beautiful. Anion single wheel. If you can see you. I have. Not drawn do ellipse with
the same shape over you. So I've given a little
variation to all the tulips, which I have drawn you to make
it look more interesting. Now the tip on that, again, give you a notice like
when you are using your knife and
you're filled color and your knife makes sure that when you're pressing
your knife towards again was initially you are very
gender and you go more for more as you go down to double-click shape
or form. Do lip. If you're not happy with
any of the better of the doula you have
drawn or you're not happy with the color
mixtures that have come up. While painting. You can always redo
this with your knife. You can dig the colors you want. If you wanted a more
lighter shade or if you want to go towards a more darker one and we want to show the petals and a
little darker way. You can always go ahead and do that the same way I'm
doing it right now. I was not happy with the
color of the petals, so I went ahead and I took
some color which I wanted the button in and I painted
over the already better. Here I am trying to redo some of the petals
of the dual loopers. I was not happy with the
color combination that had gum mode when I
had done at initially. You can always do like if
you can see my two loops over the bottom layer
of the do loop is not has not come up relievers. So you can always go
ahead and take your knife and Lupo the shape of the two-loop that you think
are not up to the mark OVO. I'm not happy with
this shape both. I told you, Buh-bye yours. I'm dying to cut it. By redoing those buttons. You can skip this step
if you'd thank you. Looks perfectly fine and
really good, cheap over you're having a little more thickness
to one of the two loops, I think need to be Daniel. The different shades of
color which we created. Now you can see the
effect like why initially I told
you that we need to mix up to three colors over. And unlike before, we bend, our better love to
loop over here because you can see the
variations in that and that makes it look more beautiful and more brighter
and more cheerful of you. You'd think that the shape of the do loop is not
proper and you're not comfortable with using
night to correct this mistake. You can always use
your tiny brush to go ahead and correct the
shape of the doable. We'll make sure you are just using color and not
molding paste away or to correct it will be painting the
stems of the doula, meaning taking
yellow ocher color and green color because
I want my stems to look more like yellow green rather than a bright
green because that does something which will suit wind
background and my tulips. Are we mixing the color to
get a perfect light yellow, green color over here? In this painting. I'm
not trying to overdo it by drawing some leaf
to audio loops because I think I wanted to keep this painting really
simple and sweet and not overdo it by adding some more leaf or video
because I didn't leave, my painting will get
really overcrowded and. I don't want to do that
at this point of time. I'm just using a tiny brush
to mix some stems over here. Make sure what you're
making you a stem cell. It'll thin and not
broadening it because that might make look you're
painting not to attract it. So metal, very thin
stem server, you go absorbing my painting. I'm not satisfied
with the background, which is entirely wide-eyed
think so I need to add a little shade of
green to my MacBook, my painting or more adaptive. So I'm trying to get created a mixture of little lighter and
darker gray color. I'll just put it on the
corner of my painting so that it gets really bright pop. So the flavus pops out
from the white background. You can use your
knife over you or any smallest size
knife then that what we had used for
painting on tulips. If you're not
comfortable with knife, you can always go ahead
and use your brush, but make sure you're taking a very tiny amount of color in your brush and
making shades of gray. Folk honors of your canvas. As you can see, I'm just taken a little lighter green
my knife and I'm just dabbing towards the corner and should've going straight away
and coloring the corner. I'm just dabbing. Do give it a little
whitish gray look. If you are happy
with their bending, if they're happy with
their white background or you have chosen any
other color initially. You can absolutely
skipped this step. Reading a little
stems because they can see a little icon. I see that my stems
have become a plant. I'm just trying to redo it
and making it into bolder. You have a perfectly
shaped to buffer the leash shaped stems over you. You can absolutely. He skipped this step. I was not satisfied with
the color of the stem, so I'm trying to redo
it again and make it look more beautiful
than it was before. If you see it
carefully, I am too, I died to give a
little dab effect on the corner of the
canvas to make it look, to give it a little
texture on the ends. Moved towards our last
step that is adding needed seeds that are present in the center
of the ellipse. For that, I'm using a red color and I'm
using a tiny knife to just give the dot effect and make sure you don't
overdo the stamp. If they're not
comfortable with knife, you can always go ahead
and use a brush to make the effect of little seeds over the ****** present at
the center of the tulip. I'm just using the
tip of a knife over you to make the seed effect. You can make the seeds
off any shape your one then just make sure
you don't overdo it.
5. Final words: Today in our gloves we have
learned what is impasto, how to create texture
pays for impasto. How do you do your
knife for making impasto Florence. Thank you.
