The Eleanor Ettinger Self Portrait Show is coming up from June 14th through July 14th. It's great to see all the different takes on self portrait in one room. I'm looking forward to it. This is my painting for the show.<br />

everyone to come prepared to paint along with me. I hate the idea of
taking a painting day away from you with so few to go. The demo will be
there to peruse on the breaks and I will still come around to see how your
doing. </a></div>

Painting when you don't have enough paint affects your whole attitude toward the work. It says "I'm probably not going to make a good painting so why waste good paint." That's a poor position from which to start anything. If you want to progress, then as a student, it's your job to use enough paint to learn. Some may say cost is an issue but I think if you look at the bigger picture, the cost of hampered learning is much higher. Learning to paint can be frustrating. But some frustrations are easily fixed with good brushes and enough paint. <br />
<br />
Sometimes you won't use all the paint you put out. Nothing is more annoying then when I put out paint and don't use it. It gets a skin and it's done. If you feel this too, then get your palette knife and some old support. Make a simple study from palette scrapings. It's fun and instructive! Don't worry over it, don't do a drawing under it. Just practice mixing the right color, value and shape. Place them in their relative proportions. The more you paint, the more you learn!<br />
<br />
Below is a small (8x10) palette knife study done with palette scrapings. Try it.<br />
This idea is not mine, I read it in a Richard Schmid book years ago. Thank you, Richard<br />

about wonderful warm places I've painted. Remembering the great people
I met on painting trips and spending hours outside in the sun always
warms me. Right now, I'm thinking about Castello Del Bosco, that
memorable place I went to last year. Some have asked me to post
more sketches from the trip so here you go! </a></div>

Click on picture to enlarge. </td></tr>
</tbody></table>In class last week, we talked about making copies of Artists work for the purpose of understanding how they group their values, used color and handling of paint... etc. Nothing works so well as a diligent study of a painting you wish to understand better. You may think you 'get it' by viewing a good print but it's surprising how much deeper your understanding will be when you copy it. Many years ago, I made a copy of Dr FitzWilliam Sargent, John Singer Sargent's father. Sargent's painting is a bit of a caricature when compared to his oeuvre. But it's a great example of his directness in application of paint. I painted my copy alla prima (no drawing prep, all at once) to keep in the spirit of the original. I was surprised how simple his large shapes were conceived, and held, through to completion of the study.<br />

So, find a good print of a painting you love and break it down, understand it on a much deeper level. Then bring that new found knowledge into your own work!Richard Pilocohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08430717128342159301noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2827105143177873707.post-39296025656295740332011-09-06T16:02:00.000-04:002011-09-06T16:02:34.663-04:00Welcome back I hope everyone had a fun and productive summer! If there are any paintings you are particularly proud of, bring them in. Has anyone done 100 heads? Here's another white sheet on a chair from many years ago, and a swollen stream from the hurricane last week. See you this Monday!<br />

I may work on them in the studio and/or use them for a larger paintings but for now they are just as I made them in the field. I still have a bunch more to mount, about 28 in all. I'm doing it little by little, when there's some more I'll post them. Hope everyone is getting their summer sketches done. You should have several by now.<br />

</tbody></table>Several weeks ago my students asked what they could do to stay in practice this summer. My first answer was do 100 heads. Later, I realized there isn't even a hundred days before we start again. So, here is an example of something I do when I don't have time to work on something more ambitious, or just to have fun. I throw a white sheet on a chair, and I paint it. I try not to get to involved in the nuance or make the painting special. I just try to quickly capture the colors, values, and shapes that I see. Above are 3 examples so you can see how gruff the handling is. It isn't important to articulate the folds perfectly, just make precise notes of color that are the right shape. Capturing the shapes is very important, make shapes with your brush strokes. And then do some articulation on top of those. These should be done quickly- 1 hour 2 at the most. Don't think finished painting, think, are the colors honest, are the values relative, are the shapes strong. So go paint! And have a fun summer.Richard Pilocohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08430717128342159301noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2827105143177873707.post-35290767999661252712011-05-30T17:33:00.001-04:002011-08-12T17:06:55.459-04:00Last Class of 2011<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPMYsTqaySHLQsp-Z3eiLXAR0tHXHcL0ul5Fl82D0hrU6MRVTqsU8sBin27ZlcpZAc67C_Yco6qBQ8FLOk1aS7GrcTKuZ8hSd5H4RnxtblkaQNpmOuvXoREJrNGq6zHgtoAOJEYCjYDWU/s1600/IMG_2712+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPMYsTqaySHLQsp-Z3eiLXAR0tHXHcL0ul5Fl82D0hrU6MRVTqsU8sBin27ZlcpZAc67C_Yco6qBQ8FLOk1aS7GrcTKuZ8hSd5H4RnxtblkaQNpmOuvXoREJrNGq6zHgtoAOJEYCjYDWU/s640/IMG_2712+copy.jpg" width="467" /></a></div>We had a great model in class last week.

Phoebe Reading... waiting on me to suggest a pose for a sketch. Hand pressed into her face...so engrossed in the latest book she didn't realize I already painted her vignette. (9'x12').<br />
<br />
Hope everyone had a great holiday! For those in my class see you tonight.<br />

The 'Star Wars Visions' Book is out! It has a bunch of great paintings in it, and I feel lucky to have been part of it. It's on my coffee table. I will enjoy looking at all the work, and say to friends... I know him, her, and him... All this talent...Richard Pilocohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08430717128342159301noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2827105143177873707.post-47234229304520203152010-11-10T16:42:00.002-05:002011-08-12T17:06:55.460-04:00New Class Demos<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Just photographed these head studies. Some of my students have been waiting for me to post recent class demos. The first two are from session one. The last is not a demo, its of my son Lucas who gave me some time in exchange for a new (toy) 'Beyblade' $7.95. Totally worth it, till he gets wise. For now, I'm working the scam. </div><div style="text-align: left;"> For those who don't take my class, these demos aren't finished paintings, they are an example of process. I spend a lot of time talking and answering questions, and get very little time to concentrate on painting. I post them in the spirit that they are learning tools. They are usually Life size and painted alla prima. But the second image (which is particularly rough) was a demo of repainting right on top of dry paint in a direct way.<br />

Here's a limited palette sketch, for those people asking about it. Just under 3 hours work using Ivory Black, Burnt sienna (I like the more transparent ones), Yellow Ochre, and just a touch of Permanent Red. It's a great way to get an immediate effect. To me, they always feel like they are complete statements, even when they are considerably open in finish. Keep in mind this is not something to do in class as it doesn't require the accuracy in color reading or the special handling required when painting in full and opaque color. In class, accuracy to the model is what we strive for. When you can paint the models as you see them, you will also be able to do limited palette. But the reverse is not true. This painting is not the best example of the amazing range of limited palette painting. And there are many changes that can be made to get different effects. 'Oil Painting Techniques And Materials' by Harold Speed has a great step by step using limited palette and 'painting from the life'. Many painters used (and still use) limited palette to great effect. Anders Zorn is the best painterly example.

So I did this quick study from life to see what could be done. It has some drawing issues that can be fixed just by slowing down, but I find the biggest problem is that a laugh devolves within seconds into a pained expression. It has no half life that even remotely expresses the excitement of a true laugh. Maybe the trick is to have Monty Python or Something About Mary on in the background to create an atmosphere that promotes easy smiles and unexpected guffaws. I was listening to NPR (a talk about partisan politics) on the radio and the smiles weren't flowing. I will try it and post the results. <br />

My nephew was married in Florida over the weekend and the flight we booked conflicted with the class. By the time I realized the mistake Friday night, it was hundreds of dollars to change it. I will let you know when the make-up day will be. Thanks.<br />

<div style="border: medium none;">In the meantime, here is a painting of my back deck, 12"x16". My studio has a rectangular main space with a triangular space attached to it. That triangle space comes into the picture from the left. It then flattens out (where the wall sculpture is) and ends with a natural stone wall. The design is 1970s passive solar. The dark rectangle on left side is a sliding glass door which lets sun light in all day to heat up the concrete floor. At night the floor releases the heat back into the room. Of course the first thing I did when I moved in was to completely block it off. My neighbors must have thought I was cutting up bodies.</div><div style="border: medium none;"><br />
