Photo to painting

Photo to oil painting The world of painting can be complex to
the uneducated eye as there are numerous terms and practices
taht can confuse you. To help understand you must learn what the
various terminology stands for. This is crucial in defining the
genre that your artwork falls into. There are different genres
in painting such as landscape, portrait and still life.
Portraits are creating a painting of a life model, landscape is
the painting of the environment and the last genre is still life
which will be discussed in this article. http://www.photo2all.com
When creating still life paintings, the artist has full control
of the subject. The artist would need to set the subject in a
proper place where lighting is good, most likely north facing a
window, having artificial lights or reflectors. When the artist
has established this he can now be able to focus on his art.
First thing you'd need to ensure is that the painting is just
how you want it. Try having a practice drawing first with
sketches since painting it is completely different form looking
at it. Then try to analyze the tonal values and make sure that
the light patterns are just right. After the practice sketch and
the tonal values, you will now have to deal with the color
schemes. http://www.photo2all.com
After all those have been done, you will need to finalize.
Finalizing includes making sure that the lighting and
composition is correct. Many artists will not paint exactly what
they see; they will in fact have some modifications to either
make it better or to be able to express their personality in it.
The next step will be completely up top you; it all depends as
to what style you will be using. You may want to handle the
approach via the old master which is time consuming because it
requires repeated layers of paints and glazes. But it allows
great control and variety.
Here are some suggestions to make your still life painting more
realistic, that even some people might think it's the real deal.
1. Don't light all objects equally; choose an object that will
be the center of interests.
2. Decide on the concept, give the object some mass and paint some shadows.
3. Create a distinctive shape for every different object. Don't make all your different
fruits look all like apples. If the grape and lemons you plan on
making seems to look like an apple I think you have a problem.
4. The object can either be across looking shallow or into the
canvass.
5. Start your painting with the center of interest.
6. for objects to be lighted, the surface in which they are on must
also be lighted
7. Try to add other colors by using the monochrome to make the object more realistic and prevent
dullness.
8. Decide and understand how you will be able to bring
what you want pout of your subject.
9. Establish the ground plane because it is also important.
10. The darkest part in the picture is the line of shadow in the objects.
If you are able to create a still life fruit painting that even
your friends tried to eat it, you should be proud of yourself.
If the painting you made on the other hand looked more like a
cartoon, cheer up, maybe your just suppose to join the kinder
art class first and develop your art skills gradually.
