Приєднався 22 бер 2020
I've been an art instructor for over 15 years mostly working with middle and junior high school students. This channel is designed to help young and new artists, of any age, learn a variety of different techniques used in the making of two-dimensional art. I prefer working with traditional equipment in my art, but many of these techniques will transfer to digital media. In this channel, we'll discuss the Elements of Art and how they can be used individually or in combination to create your work. Some of the things we'll cover are drawing techniques, colored pencils techniques, inking techniques, watercolors and more. The idea is to build your technical skills through the use of the elements of art to improve your creativity. The better you become with the techniques, the less you have to think about them and the more time you can spend creating and developing your style.
One Brush Painting
In this video we will be creating a simple painting using india ink and a #6 (1/2") flat brush. We will go over some of the characteristics of the brush, and review a few brush strokes you'll need to complete the exercise.
The supplies you will need if you want to follow along are:
140 lb cold press watercolor paper,
Black india ink--permanent and a #6 flat synthetic brush. I'm using the Princeton Umbria series 1/2" brush. You'll also need a water container, palette, and paper towels.

Dry Brushing with Ink--featuring Spiderman
Переглядів 423 місяці тому
Dry brushing in ink is a very easy and very quick way to add shading to your ink drawings without the use of stippling, hatching, cross-hatching or ink washes. It is done by skimming thin layers of ink over coarse watercolor paper. The pores remain light while the raised areas pick up the ink creating the illusion of grey. By building up the layers gradually you can get a full range of values f...

Solid instruction. Thanks for uploading.
Hope it was helpful!
Awesome thank you. Never done anything like this before. Definitely going to give this a try.
Excellent! Let me know how it turns out..
Finally someone demonstrates and explains pointillism clearly and accurately. Muy bueno.
My pleasure. Please let me know if there is something else you would like to see.
Manny, you did an excellent demonstration and explanation of each of the different techniques. I look forward to trying some of these in some of my paintings. Thanks again.
Please do! I'd love to see what your artwork!
Woww!! Nice
❤❤
Thanks
My pleasure!
Your instructional videos are first rate, I'm amazed that more subscribers haven't caught on to your channel yet.
Thanks Cliff. I really work hard to get my students to understand the "why" things work. It makes it easier for them to apply the techniques to their own work.
I really like your teaching style. It's logical, systematic, and excellent.
Wow! I’ve painted for years and love the idea of pointillism but this simple exercise helped me to better visualize how to create these colors since I tend to use many premixed colors ….this is so helpful! Thank you!
It's my pleasure. I've been doing this exercise with my students for years and it really helps them understand color mixing proportions that can later be used when mixing colors traditionally.
Brilliant thank you
It's my pleasure. Thanks for tuning in!
👍
Beautiful
Thankyou so much. Your instructions are spot on so we can follow you. Great job. I think I will try this
Glad I can be of service. I'd love know how it turned out. Thanks for watching.
Where can I find the picture of the color wheel you are using?
sites.google.com/view/mannys-school-of-art Here is the link to my resources page. There is a completed color wheel that you can download. You can also check out my Color Wheel in Pointillism video if you would like to make one yourself. Hope this helps and thanks for watching :)

🎉 "promo sm"
Excellent explanations
Glad it was helpful!
Glad you liked it!
wow this is so incredible!
This is great. But how do I get greys or black without adding black? Also, this seems next to impossible to do with even when a tiny watercolor brush. But perhaps this is why Seurat did much larger paintings than some! Still, I’m going to try this. Thank you! It will be fun nonetheless.
If you are doing this with markers you can create a dark color (not black) by using all three colors with the dots super close together. You can't make grey because grey has white in it, but you can use a grey marker if you need to. If you are working with paints you can add black and white to your palette. If you are using paints you do not have to use the bristles of the brush. You can either use the handle of the brush to create your dots or you can use q-tips. They also sell this micro foam brushes and they work pretty well. Testor # 281213. I hope this helps.
Great tutorial. Thank you. Learnt a great deal.
I found this site by chance and I am so so impressed. Brilliant. Thank you.
Great!
I'm glad you liked it!
Each time you use a pencil of different color, its tip is masked by the color already present.
What can you use as a natural alternative to the wood cleaner?
Murphy oil is supposed to be all natural and it does a decent job cleaning the wood. I've also used simple green to clean small projects with good results. I haven't tried this but there is a home remedy formula of 1 part white vinegar+1 part olive oil and a few drops of lemon oil that seems to do a nice job on wood. Make sure to test it out on some scrap wood before using on your project. Hope this helps.
I have these same pastels from when I took my art classes back in 1994 through the mail wow
Thanks very much for your clear explanations for this technique ! I try by myself using acrylic paint and will see. Merci
Glad I could help. This works really well with acrylics and other paints, I just found it easier to explain with markers before moving on to paints. Please let me know how your painting turns out.
This is great! ❤
So glad you liked it.
Wonderful lesson!
Thank you!
Love this episode! Thank you again!
First time watching and really enjoyed it. Excellent descriptions for your techniques and lovely painting. Thank you so much!
Thanks Susan! I'm glad you are enjoying the channel.
Really nicely explained! Thank you
Thank you. That's one of my biggest goals is to explain things in ways that makes sense, but without getting to technical.
Love it dude, we can see that from our place here in Jupiter! Very nice
