E'bauche and Direct painting methods

 Martin talked about Gestalt suggestive visual ambiguity 

Related to what you can make the viewer believe from as few marks as possible.

Today we made a study from a Seago 

Painting using the Direct painting method.

First stage make a pencil sketch

Stage 2 

'Colour Beginings'

A colour  E' bauche

Rag in use 50 50 paint to medium 

20 minutes 

This is my colour beginnings 

Stage 3

Blocking using a size 12 filbert brush 

No medium dry brush no cleaning mix all colours on the pallet  with the brush.

1.30 minutes 

This is my blocking stage 

Lots of Tonking and more colour contrasts 

Next stage 4

Work on creating focal point using 4

filber Brush in this case I chose to work on the golden section area blocking in buildings and back grounds creating contrasts.1.30 minutes

Last of all stage 5

Everything must be done in the under painting, then last of all add the Impasto 

Pallet knife work only to the focal 

points .

Bingo 

don't forget to create a colour counter- change 

Warm impasto and cool impasto.
