This is the only method of drawing I ever learned from you back 20 years ago and I still use it! Over time, using this has improved my drawing ability (at least I think so!)

Proportional dividers set at 1:2 can be used to find centres accurately when required. Set the large points across the object, and then the smaller points will give you the centre.

That information about respecting the angle line in the corners of an ellipse was just what I needed to help me out in my drawing.. I never once thought about how vertical the corners actually were, it makes perfect sense though. Now looking back on some of my past still life paintings that would involve a cup, vase, bowl etc., they look either wayyy too flat or not rounded enough.. They were reminiscent of a damn pancake... 🥞 Anyways... Those past demos with the AI sourced images was seriously an ingenious idea too! So I can't wait for your future videos!

Great tip. I always had an issue with proportion divider. Every time I use it, some odd things happen. I moved to grid or draw free hand...

You are a wonderful teacher. It is such a double blessing for you to not only be a great artist, but also a great teacher. It is a blessing for us that you share of yourself so freely. Thanks for your videos and methods. Watching you over the years has helped me grow as a painter, and I really appreciate you for it. I just wanted you to know.

Great video, Marc. Thank you! I'd love to see this process with a portrait. I imagine it's much the same, but with more points. If your subject takes up the majority of the canvas, can your golden lines pass through the subject? Or is it always best to have your lines outside and away from your subject?

@huntsail3727 Жыл бұрын

I have his portrait course, and you are exactly correct. There are more points and angle lines, but the concept and execution is the same. Eyes, mouth, hairline, ears, neck, nose, etc. all have their repective points and angles drawn in using the two "golden lines" as references.

Is your photograph always the same size as your canvas? Or do you use magnifier for bigger canvas? Printing and laminating a photo for a bigger size canvas would be expensive. Would you then print a ratio (5x less and then work to magnify each measurements? How then do you place your initial golden lines? Per ratio?

What is the golden line?

@aquapuppy9838 Жыл бұрын

It seems the horizontal one is approximately the horizon line, and the vertical may be 1/3rd of the canvas. At the very least, they need only be in the same place on both pictures in order to accurately measure the points of interest onto the canvas. In this example, near the focal subject will make this a bit easier.

@El_papa_de_Rambo Жыл бұрын

Just a line to guide all measurements

@omnesilere Жыл бұрын

They are arbitrary, the important part is that they are consistent in regards to the aspect ratio; that is, the same on the print to the painting (this is not meant to be from life but from a photo.) It's like making an equator and meridian line from which to measure the other points.

@saschagrusche1573 11 ай бұрын

You don't even need golden lines. You might as well take one horizontal edge and one vertical edge of the canvas and the reference photo.

@johnbloom1109 Жыл бұрын

Why use a photograph? The colors in a photograph are never accurate compared to real life. The best painters to ever live were also masters at drawing and they never relied on photos because photos nor cameras did not exist.

@laural7240 Жыл бұрын

I did a course with Mark a few years ago. The way he explains it (and I believe the explanation is in a youtube video as well) is that first, you need to find a place to print your photograph with accurate colours - that’s not easy, but such places do exist. Then, as you keep painting through this method, you will train your eye to match colours better so that eventually you won’t need a photograph. Mark also has a device called a colour checker that helps you paint from life and check if your colours are accurate. In the end, this is just one method, there are plenty other instructors who teach the more classical approach. Personally, I found his way very helpful and my paintings look very realistic simply because the colours are identical to my subject. This is for painting realism only, of course.
