Photobashing & Painting over & Separating Values
During this weeks session , we started by practicing a technique when it comes down to using different values and lighting to determine the foreshortening inside of a scene and used a greyscale colour palette to practice this technique which is shown below.
We were told during the lesson to select images of different environments that we had taken personal and draw from these images using greyscale and utilise foreshortening throughout the designs. To utilise this technique , you use a gradual gradient either working from dark to light or light to dark working within the background whilst if the values of the background are more near the front , the values are going to be lighter compared to the back of the background are going to be seeming darker to create depth in the piece.
Examples of work using this technique
For the first test , I started by setting the light source laying overhead to gain a rough idea of where to set the different values of tone using a greyscale palette as if the sun has started to hang overhead to the site of the lake with this being my first test , I believe different tones should be altered due to how the more light tones start to blend together once you start looking at each individual piece so I decided to work on a second piece instead to try this technique again.
For the second piece , I used an image relating with the sun in the background and switch the setting entirely to a moonlight sky having the centre piece being the moon having to be the only light source cascading across the water which made creating the tones more simplistic as I started from going to the darker tones in the greyscale palette to the lighter ones focusing more on the lake area creating theses ripples of light in the water as the moonlight shines in the lake whilst the foreground keeps the darker hues of the greyscale palette.
This technique was fun to practice and analyse how the backgrounds in art pieces are broken down into different tiers which thanks to this technique is explained more thoroughly.
