Honours Workshop Diary 17 - Creating more Engaging Imagery

My goal is to produce more challenging and engaging artwork. Luckily I came across Richard Robinson, a traditional artist from New Zealand (his website: http://www.newzealandartist.com/index.htm). His style is very emotive and expressive, which I am trying to integrate into my paintings as well, so I took some time and had a look at his lectures on different painting techniques. The videos are very clear and tremendously informative. His knowledge over lighting and colour is outstanding and taught me a lot about observation and craftsmanship. Beneath are some notes I took on this topic.
Glowing Light
  • Everything close to the sun gets lighter and warmer
  • Or if it's a cool source everything get's lighter and cooler
  • Therefore colour mixing knowledge is essential
