Why paint over a transparent wash?

Рет қаралды 194,797

Жыл бұрын

In this video Dutch painter Janhendrik Dolsma gives you 4 reasons to paint over a transparent wash:
1. It has a unifying effect
2. the possibility of applying highlights in the wet wash
3. the color of the wash sets the tone of the painting
4. colors blend in easily
Dolsma explains the process while working on his Evening Clouds painting.
Dolsma (1950) is an expert painter of clouds, beaches, dunes and of course the ocean. On his KZfaq channel he shares a lifetime of painting experience in short tutorial videos with an emphasis on painting clouds. His full length tutorials (over 60 minutes) have found their way to buyers all over the world. Full tutorials can be found here: www.paintingskies.com/video/
Dolsma participated in exhibitions in the Netherlands, Germany, the UK, Taiwan, Spain, Belgium and the USA.

@williamflaherty3168 Жыл бұрын

The video doesn't explain how to make underpaint wash. Is it like mixing brown paint with a lot of linseed oil, or the paint should be mixed turpentine or white spirit? I appreciat your reply.

@PaintingSkies1 Жыл бұрын

@@williamflaherty3168 I use Liquin Light Gel (Winsor & Newton) as a medium. It's a fast drying medium that allows you to resume working on the same painting the next day. For my washes I use a mix of Burnt Sienna, Yellow Ocher and a lot of Liquin.

A vibrant orange, red or yellow directly next to an almost pure white highlight can create a very "hot" glow, which the warm underpainting is very helpful with. Additionally, a saturated warm color along the edge of an object with a bright backlight (where we see only the shadowed side of the object) can create this same glowy feeling. Alternatively, if you want to paint a scene with a cold main light source, it can be useful to start with a blue, purple or green underpainting.
