Hello my friends and welcome to the 2017th and to another Tuesday of tutorial!
I am Leonardo Pereznieto and today we will paint a chrome sphere.
We begin by drawing a circle with a compass.
Priorly I toned the canvas and it is already dry.
We trace a line with a ruler which will be the end of the table.
And we mix the color for the background.
I´m using Zinc White, Ultramarine Blue and Ivory Black.
We paint the background with these and we will be adding some other colors.
I usually use the Zinc White when mixing colors, because it is more
gentle and it keeps the color you are mixing with, more vivid.
While the Titanium White which is whiter, is also more opaque
and makes other colors pale when you mix it.
So I use the Titanium specially when I need it pure,
like for the brightest reflections.
If you want to learn more about materials´ properties, like these, or painting techniques,
I highly recommend you to subscribe to the Winsor & Newton, Masterclasses.
They are a series of short videos with great tips, like these ones.
They are free.
You just need to subscribe and you will get a Masterclass,
every week in your inbox.
I leave you the link in the information below this video.
As you saw we painted the main color of the table,
and now we do the shadow and begin with the sphere.
I normally do the things that go behind first, so that then we can paint the ones
that go in front on top of them.
We do a reflection of the table on the sphere, which is a bit distorted
of course.
Al right!
Very good!
We paint the dark reflection of a door and other curving dark reflections.
Now we mix a light gray for the wall of the background.
But first I will add some pure Titanium White, a reflection
of a window, and of some lights on top.
Did you already set some good artistic goals for yourself
for this year?
If not I recommend you to do so, and to work out how to reach
each, so that every day you can be working on those goals.
We keep building the sphere with reflections of an office.
This is not going to be super precise, as you see, I´m painting pretty
much ¨alla prima¨, that is, on ones sitting.
With wet on wet paint, almost all but not totally because at the end
I will do some layers or glazing.
I add more objects and some trees out the windows to make it
more interesting!
As for my goals I want to learn more techniques, that I will be passing
to you or course,
I want to produce beautiful drawings, paintings
and sculptures and exhibit them in a few cities internationally.
And I want to grow this channel to a Million subscribers!
To serve a lot of people, all over the world, who´s dream is to learn to draw
or paint.
Here I mix some Phthalo Green with glazing medium, to glaze the background
of the painting.
This will make it more greenish but it is a transparent layer,
so we will se what is behind.
With this change I hope the sphere will stand out even more.
I was mentioning the goal of bringing this channel, to a Million
subscribers.
As you may know my other channel in spanish,
Arte Divierte, this year reached the 1 million.
Thank you for that!
Now with the glazing medium and some Burnt Sienna
I will also glaze the sphere.
This will make it more vibrant!
By the way there is also a Winsor & Newton Masterclass on glazing,
so don´t forget to subscribe.
We are almost done.
I will love it if in the comments you can let me know, what do you
think about it.
And what else would you like me to cover in
the tutorials.
Thanks!
I think painting is so amazing, I love it so much!
The last details and it´s ready!
