Do not take the limelight from the star. indd 61 6/3/06 8:35:59 AM PAINTING OUTSIDE 5 My favorite studio has perfect light, countless subjects and endless space. It is the great outdoors. Capturing the beauty and the totality of the moment is always a great challenge. The most beautiful effects are often short-lived. One must respond to the scene with both academic knowledge and an emotional response. Engaging both sides of your brain in this way is not easy, but the combination of academics and emotion brings one closer to creating lasting, satisfying art.
TO PAINT IT. Record your first impressions in a sketchbook or notebook. What are your feelings about the subject? What is your reason for wanting to paint this scene? Write down one feeling. This will help you make the decisions of what to edit out and what to emphasize. 2. ANALYZE THE SCENE. Analyze the scene you’ve chosen to paint and find shapes, colors, harmonies, values, lines and rhythms that best reflect the feeling you recorded in step 1. As you are painting, keep the following in mind: ° Maintain the feeling you recorded in step 1; do not chase others that might pass through the scene as you paint.
Some suggestions for this process: ° As you draw, ask yourself: What is the character of the shape? What overall direction best and simply represents the shape—horizontal, diagonal, or vertical? Exaggerate the qualities that best represent the object and your feelings toward it. ° Always define and refine an adjacent shape as you create another. This is drawing negatively. You can be generous with a shape, then carve back ° into it. For a difficult linear shape, stroke the color wider than it needs to be, then narrow it by painting two shapes close together over the first color.
