Freeman White – Portraits from Photos
Freeman is a generous and caring tutor, he gave us a demonstration
of his techniques and we had a very positive and productive week. I managed to
get two portraits done that I am very pleased with.
Although he did say what
Roger and Marc has said in the past to me - use more paint!
Recommended paints
Schmincke or Old Holland
Create a tonal map ie paint
over sketch with Yellow ochre and burnt umber thinned with lean medium using
size 4,6 and 8 hogs or sable square head.
Titanium white is very
opaque so is not good for skin tones (good for final highlights) Zinc white is
semi transparent but cold. Flake white or lead white is the best for skin,
warm, buttery and semi transparent however lead is very poisonous and hard to
come by so mixed white (Titanium and Zinc) is the closest on toxic option.
Reds - Ruby lake – blushing
cheeks,lips Cadmium red – good all rounder Alzerian crimson – lips
To produce a radiant glow
use a transparent brown iron oxide.
