How to use gouache and how to use the various tools for painting gouache

The gouache color works very well.

To put it simply, it can be modified, and the modification ability is strong.

In painting, if you draw a color, but you don't like it after painting, you can adjust another color and cover it on the color you didn't like before, but rose red, and purple are easier to reverse (inverted color: it is not easy to be covered, and after the above color dries, it is easy to see rose red and purple again).

The brush can be held in the same way as a normal brush, but if you hold it higher, you should not have too much water on the brush when painting (wet painting method), and you can draw with almost no water on the brush (dry painting method).

The brush can be used over and over again, as can the colors that jump out (if they are dry, don't use them).

Are you talking about a pinch or a marble?

The gouache pigment has high purity, bright and bright colors, and strong expressiveness; He has both the characteristics of oil paint that can be covered and the watercolor paint that is transparent, so that he can provide a variety of expressive techniques for the picture effect of Shui Pipei pastel. It can be both realistic and decorative; It can be both flat and rendered; It can not only achieve the deep solidity of oil painting, but also show the brightness and smoothness of watercolor painting. As a result, gouache became the main method of teaching the basics of color.

Introduction to the Color Tool.

Paper. Select Paper:

Gouache can be painted on a variety of materials, and for quite a few beginners, it is better to choose paper with a solid texture, moderate water absorption, and a surface that is not too smooth and smooth.

Sketch paper, watercolor paper, cardboard, and rice paper can also be selected as gouache paper. Sketch paper and white cardboard compared to the surface of the rougher, watercolor paper is also an ideal paper, the paper color is white and the paper coloring can have an ideal adsorption effect, and has a good water absorption performance, can not only dry painting, but also wet painting, can also be washed off and re-painted. The more common paper in the college entrance examination is sketch paper, and students should choose as much of this paper as possible in the learning process to meet the needs of the examination.

When choosing this macro burning paper for painting, it is necessary to pay attention to the proper drying and wetting, too wet will deform and wrinkle the paper, and repeated rubbing with the pen will make the paper fluffy. Because the adsorption color of the paper varies, try not to accumulate too much thick pigment on the screen.

Laminating: The method is to wipe the back of the paper with a clean wet towel or board brush to make the paper slightly swollen, flat on the drawing board, and paste it on the drawing board with water tape around the paper to make it airtight. Pay attention to the paper when laminating the paper as much as possible to make the paper evenly damp, if uneven, it may make the mounted paper dry and tight.

Do not get too wet to avoid disconnecting from the surrounding strips of paper after drying. After drawing, use a knife or blade to cut the surrounding strips of paper, and lift the drawing paper.

For simple mounting, you can use scotch tape to glue the four sides of the paper to the board, you can stick it on the clothes a few times first, so that the paper will not be torn when the painting is taken, and there can be neat white edges after the finished product.

The tools and materials of gouache painting have their own different characteristics, and only by understanding and mastering the use of gouache tools and materials and their characteristics can we give full play to the expression of the painting object and achieve the ideal expression effect.

1. Paintbrush

Gouache painting usually uses special gouache brushes, watercolor brushes, various brushes, etc. There are two types of gouache brushes: wolf pen and sheep brush. The wolf pen has a certain elasticity, which is suitable for painting the bright part and the intrinsic color part in the middle; The characteristics of the sheep's hair pen are good water absorption and soft hair, which is suitable for expressing moist and soft effects, such as the part with sufficient moisture, "the dark part of the object, the background, the distant mountains, etc.; It is also possible to connect the upper and lower layers of color blocks more easily.

Watercolor pens include a variety of brushes, board brushes, etc., these pens have different uses, and sometimes they need to be flexibly selected according to their habits and hobbies of depicting objective objects.

2. Pigments

Gouache colors are in powder bags, bottles and tubes, etc., and it is made by mixing pigment powder or white powder with a binder in a certain proportion. It is a water-soluble pigment.

White, Lemon Yellow, Medium Yellow, Dark Yellow, Earth Yellow, Raw Ochre, Earth Red, Vermilion, Bright Red, Rose Red, Raw Brown, Lake Blue, Ultramarine, Emerald Green, Dark Green, Common Blue, Cobalt Blue, Blue Lotus, Black, etc.

In addition, you should pay attention to maintaining the humidity of the color itself when sketching, such as adding a wet sponge or damp cloth to the palette and closing the lid tightly. Some colors dry quickly, so add a few drops of water (prepare a watering can) to keep the paint itself hydrated and make the painting go smoothly.

3. Drawing paper

The gouache paper should generally be firm, the surface should not be too smooth, so as not to fall off if the color is thick, the color of the paper is generally white, not too thin, and the white paper with less absorbent water absorption is appropriate. Commonly used are sketch paper, gouache paper, etc.

4. Palette box

As a palette for gouache paintings, it should be smooth, white, and non-absorbent. There are two kinds of toning boxes commonly used on the market now: one is enamel; The other is plastic.

The palette serves two purposes: one is for tinting only; The other is to use both color and color.

There are several sizes of plastic palette boxes, and gouache paintings are generally better with 24 grids (large grids), and then with square enamel plates, which is an ideal choice for indoor painting. You can choose a smaller one for sketching, which is easy to carry.

1.Drafting.

To start sketching, use a pencil to determine the position and proportion, and do not need to use an eraser, so as not to damage the paper and affect the coloring effect. Then finalize it with color, either ochre brown or ultramarine, depending on the tone of the still life.

The color line can be slightly heavier, and the final color can be used to show the light and shade thinly, paving the way for the next coloring. If the modeling ability is stronger, you can also directly use the color line to start the draft, without showing light and shade, and directly coloring.

2.Spread out the shades.

After finalizing the draft, quickly observe the overall color tone and the relationship between the large color blocks, so that you can be confident and apply it as soon as possible. Don't think about the shape and brushstrokes at this moment, and boldly sway according to the fresh color impression to create the color environment of the picture.

Some people are in a hurry to depict it after finishing the first color. The relationship between the large color patches should be further adjusted so that the relationship between the colors and the overall hue are consistent with the actual feeling.

3.Concrete shaping.

On the basis of the relatively correct relationship of the general relationship, further specific shaping is carried out, starting from the main object of the picture, and completing it one by one. It is easy to grasp the dry and wet changes of an object in a concentrated drawing, and it is also easy to shape the color changes of different sides of its light and backlight.

At this time, the eyes should be swept around at any time, starting from the local but not falling into the local area, taking care of one thing and the other. It is necessary to look at the relationship between the object and the background and other objects, and grasp the proportion, and the details can be left for the next step.

The color of this color should be appropriately thickened, and the correct part of the background color can be retained to increase the color level of the picture.

4.Detailed.

Although trivial and superfluous details can be omitted, the important details that express the characteristics and texture of the object should be strengthened and put the finishing touch. The details need to be integrated into the whole.

The final stroke is the most important, it will not be covered and revealed to the viewer.

5.Adjust, finish.

A still life sketch outside the painting room, as a basic exercise, is generally suitable for eight hours, and strives to be profound and accurate. After proficiency.

Three or four hours can also be more sufficient.

If you take a long time to paint, your eyes will get tired easily, your color sense will be weakened, and you will forget the whole as a whole. When the sketch is almost finished, restore the first impression and check the picture: whether there are some places that destroy the whole in the in-depth carving, whether the colors of parts and details "jump out" of the picture, and whether there are other problems.

After inspection, adjustment, modification, processing. If you make a mistake or draw too thick, wash it off and paint it again until it's done.

1 Composition, there are triangular composition, circular composition, S-shaped composition, etc., the most practical is triangular composition. If you are a beginner, you can go to the bookstore and buy relevant basic materials to read. It will be helpful to see how other people's compositions are explained.

Remember to leave a finger distance on the top half of the drawing paper, and "rather go down by mistake" when composing the picture.

2 At the beginning of the draft, the teacher will tell you that "it is better to be square and circle", because the square thing cut out with a straight line will have a more three-dimensional feeling, and we are pursuing three-dimensional rather than flat painting, you know, right?

3 Coloring, or lining. The color of gouache is easy to gray, it is best to do it in one step, do not change it back and forth, it is not easy to turn it up at the bottom, and don't easily move him when you see the color is adjusted and put it on.

Let's talk about the lines, the posture of holding the pen should be correct, so that the lines that come out are good-looking. When painting still life, you should pay attention to the position of the light, the degree of reflection of the object, and the alternating use of soft and hard lead, do not listen to the teacher's joke that "the master can draw a picture with a pencil", he is teasing you、、、 the direction of the line should be according to the outer contour of the object, so that it looks good.

Finally, I hope you can succeed and come to me if you have any art problems and discuss them together.

I also studied fine arts, and now I am majoring in animation design, so you are welcome to add me to discuss professional issues.

1. Brushes: Brushes are generally made of animal coarse hair or delicate fibers, with different sizes and varieties. The main use is color painting, oil painting, etc. It is mainly used in art academies, painting, oil painting and other special brushes, such as brushes and hard brushes.

2. Painting paper: as the base and carrier of gouache painting. In order to preserve it for a long time and to achieve the best results, the painters mostly chose handmade paper, especially one made of cotton shavings, linen, glued paste, and free of bleaching residue or other impurities.

Although the United States also produced small quantities of fine watercolor paper, painters relied more on European products.

3. It is better to use a plastic stamper for toning gold. It is lightweight and durable. The tinting gold of iron spray paint is easy to rust, and the spray paint encounters a highly immersive pigment, which is easy to adhere to the surface and is not easy to wash off. Large-scale gouache paintings can also be painted with large white ceramic plates.

4. In order to change the color on the pen, it is often necessary to wash the pen or absorb water, so it is necessary to prepare a magnetic cylinder or glass filled with water. After washing imitation, the water should be replaced frequently to ensure the purity of the color. If there is too much water content on the pen, you need to remove some of it.

So keep an old cotton cloth or towel to absorb water, so that you don't spill the water on the pen everywhere.

The method of using the gouache to make the song fight is as follows.

1. Prepare a bucket of water for washing brushes, a small bottle of silver eggplant water for color mixing;

2. A brush dipped in pigment should be washed after the color disc can be dipped in other pigments, so as to avoid color mixing;

3. Mix the color according to the color table.

4. Be sure to wash and dry after use.
