"You are on the deck of a buccaneer’s sailing ship as it is tossed about on the choppy waters of a storm-wracked sea. Between you and the railing running round the side of the ship is Captain Katarina, a hard-bitten woman who looks every part the lady buccaneer. She wears practical leather trews, a finely embroidered, tailored jerkin and a sword-belt round her waist. Her luxurious, long black hair is tied back in a ponytail with a silk ribbon, and a black patch covers her scarred left eye socket. Scimitar in hand, she is pointing at the sea monsters that have emerged from the ocean depths to attack the ship. The sea serpents have long, leathery bodies as thick as tree trunks. The Great Eels open fang-filled maws, ready to snatch any tasty morsel they can from the deck of the ship."<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Underpainting</span></h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white;">~This step is like making lasagne, lots of different layers~</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>On a low heat add color and bring to a simmer. Harvest and prep reference for 'organic' lighting, refreshing details, and scrumptious textures. Bring to a boil on medium heat and add final references.</i></div>
<i><div style="text-align: center;">
<i>(~5-10 hrs)</i></div>
</i></h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Take your Base/Value Study and bring it over to the <i>render oven</i> if you haven't already.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Make sure you're at 300dpi</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On a low heat (zoomed out) mix up some value appropriate and desaturated blues,<br />
magentas, violets, and greens.<br />
<span style="color: white;">~boil noodles~</span><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Raise the values a key or two and begin to lay down some fresh glazes for rich flavors.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Apply lovingly to maintain value pattern.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Add a cursory layer of vector line/sine waves on top.<br />
These sine waves are raw and need some time to find their place.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bring to simmer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white;">~build a tomato base for sauce~</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cooking the image down takes a minute. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a good time to gather and prep your final round of references from your garden. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Take your <i>empty floor space</i>, <i>mobile light sources</i>, <i>digital camera</i>, <i>string</i>, and <i>extension cords</i> and emulate: the pose, perspective, lighting and materials within the painting.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Download your newly created material and lighting ref into your reference silo,</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Prepare remaining reference.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Chop, peel, slice, dry out (overlay/screen), soak/glaze (multiply) or simply draw from as necessary </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Weave into existing layer hierarchy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white;">~lay down a layer of noodles and a layer of sauce and ricotta~</span><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bring to a boil. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bump up the heat to medium and start cookin'</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Treat these layers the same as previous layers, working without falling into a render hole, and apply colors in values that support the flavor pattern.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white;">~lay down another layer of noodles, sauce, and ricotta~</span><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If flavors aren't harmonizing, add a cup of desaturated blue or violet.<br />
(mulitply or overlay around 10-20%)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While everything is still a little bit in flux revisit the sine wave layers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is when you'll really be able to exploit the dichotomous nature of lines from the 'verse and bring out its surreal disposition.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white;">~lay down another layer of noodles, sauce, and ricotta~</span><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Massage the sine waves into place to best support the focal point and movement throughout the rest of the composition.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Add one more layer where you will weave the sine waves together within themselves as well as visually sew the sine waves into the forms they organically interact with in the composition.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white;">~This final step is a little like picking weeds out of the garden, or flossing your teeth~</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>After you've made the best design decisions, preheat the oven to medium high. Bake on middle shelf until image is solid and fluffy all the way through.</i></div>
<i><div style="text-align: center;">
<i>(~5-10 hrs)</i></div>
</i></h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Depending on how expeditiously or conservatively you've built your painting up to this point this final step may take a while, or it may not take very long at all.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Zoom in to 100%, higher around the focal point, and paint everything together <u>correctly</u>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lovingly move over the entire image.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white;">~even behind your last molar~</span><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Brush strokes are like loose change, it all adds up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When finished, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
let sit out of sight for a few weeks to fully settle.</div>

<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Once you've gathered all the ingredients, listed in the previous post, you're ready to move onto the first step!</span></h4>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #eeeeee;">~This first step is a lot like making bread dough~</span></div>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Base/Sketch</span></h2>
<h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Imaginatively put hard to find ingredients (**) together in Art-Brain. Mix and extract with 'pencil and paper' onto 'Phi'</i></div>
<i><div style="text-align: center;">
<i>(~5-10 hrs)</i></div>
</i></h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mix <i>'mindfulness of master illustrator Dean Cornwell'</i> and <i>'meaningful life experience'</i> and pour into all the <i>Art-Brain</i>, as to fully saturate it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #eeeeee;">~flour~</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let sit.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In a separate space creatively apply <i>'amateruish understanding of physics'</i> to <i>'interesting play on words from Firefly'</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Picture the whole Universe with all of its sources of electromagnetic energies. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next consider the constant barraging of the earth with said energies.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now consider the visual abstraction of electromagnetic energy as a sine wave. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This visual representation of energies will react with the phrase 'Verse' (writing arranged with a metrical rhythm and now Universe) and incite the <i>Art-Brain</i> to exploit the duality of abstracted line (sine wave) and visual line on paper.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When the mixture thickens and becomes mentally sticky its too difficult to work with inside the <i>Art-Brain</i>. Leave it alone.<br />
<i style="color: #eeeeee;">~dough~</i><br />
Allow it to leaven before you take it out and put it on <i>paper</i>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the best time to add some <i>'Phi'</i> or <i>'Golden Section'</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With the <i>pencil</i> prepare the <i>paper</i> with some spiraling squares, or just some vertical and horizontal lines with golden cuts in them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Then, again with the <i>pencil</i>, dole out the mixture deftly over the surface of the prepared <i>paper</i>. <i>'Phi'</i> will help you spread out the mixture in a meaningful and harmonious way while avoiding a centered/static composition.<br />

<i>* Phi or Golden Section</i> is rather ubiquitous. If there aren't any references of it on your person, consider going outside.<br />
<br />
<i>** Notes on hard to find ingredients</i><br />
<br />
<i>'amateurish understanding of physics'</i> was given to you in High School. Its in there somewhere, dig it up and grab a pinch. If you can't find it watch Carl Sagan's Cosmos again.<br />
<br />
<i>'mindfulness of master illustrator'</i> will be the ephemeral summation and appreciation of art in the following manner.<br />
You should start with a visceral resonance with Dean Cornwell's 'Desert Healer'<br />
<a href="http://www.americanillustration.org/artists/cornwell/cornwell.html">http://www.americanillustration.org/artists/cornwell/cornwell.html</a><br />
The amalgam of Cornwell's proportioning of compositional elements, the near flatness of the staging, as well as the narrative it inspires should pull up memories of camping, feelings of weightlessness, and a paradoxical empty fullness.<br />
<br />
<i>'meaningful life experience'</i> should involve having spent a lot of time in the emptiness of the salt flats and high deserts of Utah. You should have walked away with a memory of a unique experience that was conducive to allowing your mind and you to feel small, and in the same place and time.<br />
<br />
<i>'interesting play on language from Firefly'</i> is from having enjoyed how the in the TV series 'Firefly' they often referred to the Universe as 'the 'Verse'. You thought it gave that particular noun a very human and narrative quality that fell interestingly onto your intellectual understanding of space/time.Andris Liepniekshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09760766525073824051noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687666155546078733.post-89673094604033832102013-04-10T15:35:00.001-07:002013-04-10T15:41:06.547-07:00That was quite the Hiatus<br />
