1. Introduction to Class: Art enables us to find ourselves and lose
ourselves at the same time. Hey everyone, My
name is Sonya and I am an artist and
Bay Area, California. Welcome to my acrylic
impasse to painting class. This class is perfect
for beginners and also those who have absolute 0
experience in painting. Today we are going to learn
this particular impasto, painting technique, which
is also called as textured. Or you can create
different types of textures or as
shown in the image.
2. Getting closer look at Requirements: Let's start with taking a look
at our requirements list. These are the few knives I'll be using throughout
the painting. Although it's not necessarily
to use all these knife. These are absolute optional to whatever shape you want
your texture out to be. You will need one flat brush just to paint the background. And I have just taken
random two blue colors and titanium white.
3. BAckground and Preparing Impasto Paste: Let's start our painting with coloring the background
of the canvas. Ya, particularly, I am using white color
for the background. And absolutely I'm not
adding any other color because my today's
color combination is going to be white and blue. And I want to keep
my painting really cool and peaceful and beautiful. And I don't want to
use any bright colors. It's absolutely
optional if you want to use any other
color combination. I'm using a flat brush to spread the titanium white
on the canvas. You can use any flat brush
that is available for you. The size of the flat brush? Absolutely depends upon
the size of your canvas. If you have a smaller
canvas like I have, you can always prefer taking a smaller flat
brush so that it's more convenient to
paint the background. I'm just making sure
your every nook and corner of my
canvas is cupboard. And my background
looks nice and clean. And there's no space where
my canvas is visible, although it's a white color. I'm making sure that my
entire canvas is covered. Now we are heading
towards preparing our molding paste or impasto
pays for today's painting. For this particular
painting I'm using golden brands modelling paste. You can use any other brands modelling paste depending
upon the availability. I prefer golden because it really has a thick
consistency and the consistency which is required for this
particular painting. It makes it really easy
and smooth to make texture in art using this
particular modelling paste, I have to prepare like three
lumps of impasto pastes. The blue shade, the white shade, and a little darker blue shade. Now this is absolutely
optional if you want to use any other
colors over here. So I'm keeping my painting
minimum, minimal. That's why I am using just
two colors over here. You can always go ahead and experiment on the colors
for the texture that you're the quantity which
I'm using for the space is 50% of modelling paste and
the rest of this white color. You can definitely
go ahead and add more of modelling paste
and less soft color. Like 75 or twenty-five.
Seventy-five. Twenty-five percent. Yeah. Even that combination
works nice. But specifically
for white color, I prefer using 5050 as a
want the color to look more white and I
don't want it to have the dull color of
the modelling paste. It. We're creating another lump
for impasto textured add. So I'm just using
cobalt blue color here. Little white to it, so that it turns out to
be nice light blue color. You can add white color
depending upon the shades of your painting or the
color combination of your painting and
whichever way you want. And after the glasses are word, don't forget to leave a review for my class
and leave your feedback. As your feedback will
really helped me to improve my glasses and I'll get
to know exactly what, what's good in my class or what's missing
element in my class. Also do let me know
if you want to learn any specific impasto
painting for my next upcoming
Skillshare class. I've used the same
technique you to create another lump
of impasto pace, just a more lighter color
than the previous one. You can skip this step if you
just want to use two colors like blue and that's,
that's absolutely fair.
4. Learning Textured Impasto Art: Let's start with the fun part of today's painting
tutorial that is, starting with the
textured or technique. I'm using this particular
knife which is triangular in shape and as a
little smaller size, because my canvas is off
a little smaller size. That's why I preferred a knife
off a little smaller size. Now you're, you need
to observe the way in which I am filling
colors and my knife, because that's really very important to have
enough color in your life before you go
on the canvas, directly. After you are filling
the color and the knife, makes sure you press the knife
gently against the canvas and lifted up
immediately, slowly. But immediately. You don't need to
spread it much because if you spread it match the shape of your flowers will not be as accurate as you
can see in the picture. You need to fill color and
your knife and make sure the edges are clean before you put the impasto
based on your canvas. As you can observe
the way in which I am lifting colors and
my knife over you. You need to press
your knife very gently towards the canvas and lifted up so that it gets a
perfect she booked leave. Now you're just randomly
putting leaves and clause wherever I want on the canvas as as when
you're painting, you can judge it yourself as, as to where you want the flowers or the LI for exactly whatever shape you want. But according to my experience, I feel that whenever
you are doing a texture odd on Canvas, it doesn't matter whatever
shape or size it is, like as long as they are neat and clean shape because it's always going to end
up looking beautiful. Make sure while
you're painting this, you are enjoying the process. You're having fun while
creating the painting. You're bending may not turn out to be exactly
like that of mine. But I'm sure if you're
enjoying doing that, it's definitely going to
turn out really beautiful, or maybe much better
than that of mine. Don't forget to
share your projects. Finishing this class, I
would really love to see what you have come up with after learning these techniques
in this class. Take your time. Take
your time to see where, what shape you can put. As I've told you earlier, also, while you're
doing the texture, that it really doesn't
matter where you're putting what shape until
it's a good shape. And the dean sheep, I decided to use just one
night throughout my painting. You can always experiment using different shapes of night, like the round one, the square one, and all
to the other shapes. Also you can create different
flowers than that of mine. Like you can use a round shape knife and
create another flower. Something different shape. That's absolutely fine. This is the second technique. How we can use a knife. The first is in the
street direction, and the second one, um, and you can use your
knife and bolded addiction from front
as well as from back. You can always turn your Canvas according
to your convenience. As you can see. Like I'm not really comfortable
keeping my canvas in one position and then
making textured. I always feel more comfortable
turning the direction of the canvas according
to my comfort level. Make sure you have
enough color in your life so that your painting looks really
nice and textured. Now your value of
making and texture out the modelling paste
which you are using does have a lot of
important because depending upon the texture of the modelling paste you can, your painting looks
different like some of them have a little
glossier look, some of, some of them have
a little sandy a look. So that's why I prefer using golden modelling
paste because it's really nice and has the perfect consistency
for textured or technique. And also thing. While you are creating
a texture or dislike, make sure you're using
good quality of Canvas. Because in Barstow painting
or textured art painting has really thick textures and it
really needs a good Canvas. And if your canvas
is not good enough, your painting is
not going to turn nice even though you put a
lot of effort into that. And even, even though you use the best modelling
paste over there, also make sure you use
the proper thicker canvas for level three or maybe level two will also
work over here. I'm just trying to paint
some random plasma urine. They told the Canvas your I had created
two shades of blue and I'm using them randomly. Wherever I feel like. This is something you need to decide on the goal
for this shape. What shape you want and vey
you exactly want to place that shaped flowers or
whatever you are doing. But just make sure
that before you start the painting you have a
rough idea in your mind, like what the color
combinations might look like or what shapes of
texture that you want. Continue making
the same flowers. Take your time to decide where you want to place
your next shape. Because even if you look at my tutorial and even if you
follow each and every step, there are chances
that Jacobian thing might look very much
different than that of mine. So it's really up to you to decide where you have to
place a particular shape. There's no particular logic
or particular technique and decided to where
you need to place which shape It's
absolutely random. Make sure you keep a little
bit of space between your two shapes so that it
doesn't look too much crowded. Yes, I guess that's that's pretty much
for today's painting. Do share your projects at the end of this class
and let me know your feedbacks you'll
review about this class and also what you would like
to see in my next class. Just getting some final
touches to make sure that I've covered the
entire canvas space.
5. Finale : So here we are at the
vanilla episode of our today's textured
or the basso painting. Do share your projects. I reviews feedbacks on this
particular class and do watch my other impasto painting
classes and let me know what you would like to
learn in my next class also. So in this today's class, we learn this
particular painting, a textured, odd painting. You can use the same
technique to create different types of painting as you can see on your screen, that I've created
different kinds of painting using
the same technique. So do share your projects with different color combinations
and thank you so much.
