I enjoyed talking to the people who came by and selling art prints.

For one thing, I&#8217;m currently taking Intro to Painting (ARTDES 250) at Stamps, which teaches oil painting techniques that I could also apply to digital painting one day.<\/p>\n<p>A recent assignment was to paint whatever we see on the ceiling and use warm\/cool colors to make objects seem closer or further away, respectively. I ended up painting a ceiling vent in front of some windows and exaggerated the colors a little while also letting some of the orange underpainting show through for a warm, almost sunset-like look.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-20736\" src=\"http:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20220926_122234-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"288\" height=\"384\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-20735\" src=\"http:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20220926_125432-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"287\" height=\"383\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-20737\" src=\"http:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20221002_183211-239x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"301\" height=\"378\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20221002_183211-239x300.jpg 239w, https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20221002_183211-768x964.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20221002_183211-816x1024.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 301px) 100vw, 301px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>My next assignment is to paint a fruit still life using scumbling, which is applying a layer of dry opaque paint over a previous layer of paint so that both colors are visible on the canvas. I only have the yellow underpainting laid down at the moment, but the still life should start to look more distinct once I start to apply further layers of color.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-20738 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20221012_125818-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"512\" height=\"384\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20221012_125818-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20221012_125818-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20221012_125818-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/>While the specific application and look of digital paint is usually pretty different from analog\/real-life oil paint, I could still try to replicate these techniques using oil paint-esque brushes in a digital painting for a similar effect. Stay tuned to see if you can identify exposed underpainting or scumbling in any of my future paintings!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mini Con Ja Nai last Saturday was really great!
