Painting a Two-Figure Composition with Sebastian Salvo | ๐จ School of Apelles
🕑 Added 2023-01-10 12:38:41 +0000 UTCHello everyone!
It is time for another painting video with Sebastian Salvo. This time, Jan-Ove Tuv observes him as continues to work on a composition of a loving couple.
I have to apologize for the lack of better camera angles in this video. The space was tight, but in the follow-up video which will be released later on, we improved this quite a bit, so stay tuned for that!
In this video you will learn about:
- Painting transparent in the beginning
- Painting the model in altered lighting
- Painting "dry" (no medium)
- How dynamic lighting creates impression of movement
- The importance of the contour line
- Calmly bringing forth form and color
- How painting "rough" still requires tight forms
- Composition is not its own goal
- Emulating the qualities of the Greeks and G. F. Watts
- Integrating a landscape sketch in a large motif
- Not letting the motif fill the whole format
- Letting nature reflect the figures of a motif
๐ต Tune in instead of watching the video
For a while I have been gathering some of the School of Apelles content in a playlist only accessible to patrons. If you just want to listen to the conversations, you can tune in:
