Step Two I then apply some initial colour to the canvas, using plenty of painting medium (Liquin) and raw and burnt sienna oil paints.

A Graphic Design Primer, Part 3: Basics of Composition. Jun 27 2011 In the first two sections of this primer, we covered the basic elements of design, and the basic principles of design.
In this section, we’ll cover the basic principles of composition. There are a variety of different composition theories you should familiarize yourself with. Since this is just a primer, there’s a brief overview of the most common and important theories. You’ll want to study each in more depth before putting them to use, so we’ve included some additional resources for each. Single Visual The single visual method of composition is where a single, generally striking, visual image is used as the basis of the design. The single visual pattern is the easiest composition to successfully achieve. Sites like those created on About.me are a great example of the single-visual composition pattern.

(Above image: Garry Winogrand, World’s Fair, New York City, 1964. All photographs in this article copyrighted by the estate of Garry Winogrand) Garry Winogrand is one of my favorite street photographers that I have gained much photographic insight and wisdom from. He was in-arguably one of the most prolific street photographers of his time (he shot over 5 million photographs in his career) and one of the most passionate.
However, he hated the term “street photographer” and simply saw himself as a “photographer”. It is an idea I later understood and respected very dearly, as Winogrand was more interested in making photographs than classifying himself for art historians. I never understood a lot of the things that he said about photography like why you should wait a year or two before developing your shots, why photographs don’t tell stories, and how photographers mistake emotion for what makes great photographs. 1. Garry Winogrand shot a lot of photographs.

Incorporating an Adobe Bridge Web Gallery. For many years, Dreamweaver has had a feature called Create Web Photo Album. It builds a photo album quickly, but the result is—quite frankly—horrible. The code is ancient and bloated. It deserves to be consigned to the scrapyard. Fortunately, there is a much better solution, although many people have not discovered it, because it's part of Adobe Bridge CS4, which is installed automatically with a default installation of Dreamweaver CS4. Adobe Bridge is a powerful program that lets you organize your visual assets, such as photographs, illustrations, PDFs, and Flash movies. The Output Module in Bridge also produces an elegant Flash-based web gallery. You don't need Flash installed—Bridge does everything for you.
The problem is that the HTML file created by Bridge displays the photo gallery full screen, leaving many people wondering how to incorporate a Bridge web gallery directly into an existing website. Saving the web gallery to your Dreamweaver website Next. Artrage Home. ArtRage Tutorials and Resources. Why do you need reference images? The picture on the right was drawn without a reference image, except memory and my hand. However, it needs references for the face, the posture, the hand, the arm, the butterflies… if I want to finish it properly. Most of you have never stood with a tiger breathing into your face, watching the whiskers twitch, or felt the tremor of a soft mouse, with its heart jumping in your hand, or watched the sliding light along the side of a thrashing fish…. Many of you may have never held human bones, and few people pull off a butterfly’s wing to see how it fits, and they can’t pick a celandine and carry it with them as a memory of the colours.
So what do you do when you need to know how an eye looks from the side, how a hand holds a fish hook, what muscles are where? You can’t do it all, and if you can, you can’t remember it exactly. Many of these things, you can find in real life – some you can draw from, there and then. Reference photographs and ArtRage. DIY Decor Tutorial: Rorschach (Inkblot) Wall Art | The DIY Homegirl.
Recently, I was reminded of a past art/decor project. Many years ago— before Pinterest, before entering the blogging world, before knowing I wanted to be an interior designer— I created a few Rorschach “tests.” Rorschach tests were used back in the day by psychologists to help determine an underlying disorder with patients. They’ve always fascinated me, because like other forms of art, there’s no wrong perception from the viewer.
Each person has a unique response to them. When I first made these, it was just for fun, to see what would appear in the blots. Creating inkblots is very easy, but one thing I don’t like is that the fold in the paper is visible. Supplies: *Wax paper *Acrylic craft paint in 2 oz. tubes *Strathmore 300 watercolor paper (90 lbs.)— this can be bought by the sheet or as a pad at most craft/art stores.
