Direct painting of human body in oil painting

This painting method differs in concept from the one-shot method and the traditional direct painting method in that the drafting of the whole body, as well as many intermediate and processing stages, must be completed in mind before the painting begins. To "see" the object as a finished painting, "see" it as a plan made up of many connected edges and color blocks. Therefore, there is no need to follow a certain sequence of steps to develop gradually, such as starting from the main area, and then completing the secondary area and so on. The surface techniques used are also arbitrary and can be drawn in various directions, from realism to almost abstraction. This method has two points which are the same as the first completion method: first, the original strokes are kept unchanged; Second, it doesn't require much preparation (although a little preparation is important in this case). If you draw a picture in this way, you can also say that it is done in one time. In this way, however, one can either finish the painting at once, or stop at any stage, relying on the mental image as a reference, and continue the painting a day or even a week later. However, a painting completed in several times is generally not as natural as one time, but it is suitable for painting a larger picture. The demonstration begins with a clear monochrome outline to determine the size of the human body on the screen. The seated figure is actually three heads high, or about 27 inches from the base of the spine to the top of the head. The head is two-thirds the size of the actual head, or about 6 inches high. The height of the sitting figure is 18 inches. This allows the foreground and background of the human body to be arranged in a spacious 24 "x 30" frame. Step 1: The details of the outline clearly show the very transparent brushwork used for the head. Use a small conical pen directly on the canvas for a simple and careful line drawing of the head. On the back and right shoulder, carefully trace the hair with a larger pen. These are the only preparations that can be done in a few minutes and serve as a starting point for future comparison. The next step is to complete the head. The size, shape, color and structure of each stroke and stroke will depend on how the head is drawn. Step 2: Compare this step with the processing in step 2 to see the elements of direct drawing. Apart from a slight change in the hair and the exposure of the hidden eyes, each stroke of this step hardly changes in the finished picture. The lines drawn in this step along the base of the forearm, legs and feet become dark in the final stage, with only changes in the edges. The painting was not done in clear stages. Most of the painting was never redrawn, and it was just a matter of blurring some of the edges and finally highlighting some of the light and dark areas. Human body: oil on canvas, 24 "x 30". Shoulder, face, arms and knife, stroke and edge along the left side of the body are the same as in step 2. Using a long conical pen and transparent paint, draw the hair onto the upper back and onto the background color, which is also transparent. For texturing method to paint the whole background with transparent paint, in the foreground for texturing method and then with a knife. Draw the rest of the body in traditional strokes with a medium conical pen. In accordance with the nature of this painting, the picture could have been drawn from the right foot and worked upwards to achieve the same result.
