| *~ Magical Methods of Painting ~* the Flemish process, the process italiano, Lombardy and Bologna.........the Venetian method which of course originated in Venice ...........in Flanders and Germany these Magical Methods of Painting were observed ~*~*~* *~ in Painting a beautiful Picture, the Old Masters of the early period of Painting in Oil used the process which I have learned by reading of them ~* the ground being properly prepared, in my case I purchase a gesso primed canvas, the next step is to Draw the subject of the Picture...........in those days they used black chalk or black~lead pencil.........I use the common #2 pencil just like in grade school.........I thought they were lead, but apparently, these everyday pencils are graphite.....graphite lends itself perfectly for Drawing.........these pencils can be sharpened to a very fine point and the graphite blends easily to form subtle shadows......the various Painters of the 14th, 15th & 16th centuries often would Draw the subject on paper then, when the Drawing was perfected, they would trace it onto the Canvas and secure the Drawing by marking over it with brown color, i.e., burnt sienna or raw umber..........this technique is seen in an unfinished Painting by Lionardo Da Vinci in the Gallery of Brera at Milan.........sometimes a tint composed of carmine and dark ochre was used...........raw umber works very well, but with the invention of those wonderful spray cans, I just spray a coat of crystal clear enamel over the Drawing to secure it in place on the Canvas in preparation for Painting ~* there's a demonstration of this process on this page Second Portraiture Method Demonstration ~*~*~*~*~*~* |
| there is actually a Drawing by Tintoretto, a Painter of the Venetian School, in which he began the Drawing in chiaroscuro with water colors and then Painted the local colors in their places with Oil ~* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ and now for a Painter's Poem ~* `````````````````````````````````````````````````````` emulate in the recesses of your mind gaze on your form in the mirror of your heart profit from your reflection and be compelled to say "affection is my learning !!" "sight my recompense !!" "my presence is perfected from contemplation of beauty !!" "my Canvas is my Universe !!" "my Brushes are my Magic Wand !!" "my Oil Colors my Magic !!" repeat this montage to yourself speak it aloud over and over convince yourself of your confidence the precious gifts of your Oils and Brushes and Canvas shall give you that which you seek be aroused by what you see be desirous of what you create be motivated by the want of freedom freedom can be yours everlasting world without end the Canvas can do miracles just you wait and see you have to believe me you have to believe in yourself you have to believe we are Magic ~* |
