The Atelier Tier, Color Sphere Painting
Added 2022-01-01 15:24:14 +0000 UTCHere is the whole lesson- what you really need to get going on this is a well mixed set of color-values and your intentions set on painting clearly each color as you proceed through the phases of form. Keep your smudging to a minimum!
By the way: Vimeo, my video hosting platform, has lately had some issues displaying videos across various devices (particularly ipads). If there is some trouble seeing thew video let me know in the comments and I will do what I can to fix it. Otherwise a laptop/desktop is the optimal device to view this on.

This situation refers to natural light and artificial light that is 95 CRI or above.

2022-02-27 09:21:27 +0000 UTCHey Stephen, great tutorial as always, but I have a question. Is this scenario of a cool light and chromatic halftone only the case for a very specific light situation? I have always been taught that the halftone on a form like this is usually low chroma. At least compared to the light. It's what I often see in paintings. A halftone that is greyish in comparison to the light and shadow.

2022-02-26 22:15:53 +0000 UTCThanks Michael, if your sphere is a good quality and smooth you can probably just take some thin acrylic paint, mixed to the desired color, and paint a couple of layers onto it. As fore the Ipads, this confirms some suspicions I have had about it- thanks!

2022-01-18 09:58:21 +0000 UTCStephen, on the subject of IPads, I have three in my house the most recent IPad Pro 12.9 with latest updates - no problems running your videos. The other two in my home are older and can no longer be updated neither run your videos. Not a problem for me. So, my conclusion is that older IPads may be the problem . By the way these videos are great and have helped me with my flesh tones. I will try with a full pallet on a larger sphere. Also what do you paint your sphere with ,. Do you use one color? I like to draw and paint from life, and wish to set up my shadow box for this instead of working from a photo. Thanks!!!!

2022-01-08 11:28:02 +0000 UTCNot sure. I will work on some Ipads, I just leave the disclaimer there in case. Does it not work on yours?

2022-01-03 09:49:23 +0000 UTCSometimes there is a difference- given another pass at the painting perhaps I would have brought it closer. Bottom line: painting is an interpretation, no need to get bogged down in copying. Nothing except the absorbency should be different.

2022-01-03 09:48:09 +0000 UTCIt is possible to do that. For my practice I prefer the control that a new mixture gives.

2022-01-02 15:27:06 +0000 UTCGreat tutorial! Question: why not just make up a large amount of base color (the darkest first pile) and then grab some of it to create the next modification, either taking more from the big first pile, or taking some of the second pile to make the third, and so on?

2022-01-01 23:44:45 +0000 UTCHey Stephen, great tutorial! I have some questions: Why some areas appear different compared to the reference - upper right corner looks darker in the painting and lower left looks rather cooler? Is this intentional? Maybe I just dont have a 'trained eye' just yet though. And also, if we make this on oil paper, should we keep anything in mind except absorbency?
