Paint From Life or Photos?

Especially since the advent of good, inexpensive digital cameras, the debate about whether to use photo references has become almost sectarian. Purists admonish us to paint “only from life.” Yet the instructional art magazines regularly feature artists whose methods start and end with a photo reference. Certain subjects (squirmy kids, transient light effects, horses in motion etc.) almost demand photographs. Even great masters like Fechin and Zorn clearly used photo references for some of their paintings.

There are a host of good reasons to use photos:

They’re convenient
The light doesn’t change
You can blow up small details
You can be comfortable
There are no bugs, wind, interrupting strangers etc.
The model doesn’t move or get tired
There’s only one really good reason to work from life – it will make us much better artists.

Over time, we representational artists become skilled at rendering what we see. The problem is that even high-quality digital photos lie to us. Think of the four elements of a realistic Canvas Photo Prints: shapes (drawing or proportion), values, color temperature relationships, and edges. Three of the four are always wrong in a photo… and sometimes it’s all four.

The two or three darkest values turn into black and the lightest values become white (photographers call it “blowing out” the lights). The color temperature relationships are limited by the dyes used to make the prints or the phosphors in our computer screens. Also, the camera sees edges as equally sharp (not at all like the human eye which focuses on a sharp area in the center of our visual field surrounded by fuzzy shapes on the periphery).



“Platinum” by William Schneider
Even the shapes may not be accurate. If you photograph a person six feet away, you will probably get an image of a normal-size face but legs and feet that appear tiny. In other words, the foreshortening distorts the proportions. So, if we work exclusively from photos, we become extremely proficient at painting subjects that don’t look real. We don’t even notice the errors.

When I critique portfolios at various art events I often see paintings where the shadows are black, the lights are white, all the edges are hard, and the light and the darks are the same temperature. I ask the artist, “you work mostly from photos, don’t you?”  I often get the astonished reply, “how did you know?”

The pros work primarily from life: For one, it’s much easier to develop good edge control. Also, our sensitivity to nuance of color and temperature improves exponentially. We just can’t see those nuances in photos… I know; I’ve tried! Working from life, we learn to see the elusive, sparkling color in half tones. Our shadows start to have a sense of light and air in them instead of being dense, opaque blobs.

So, if you’ve decided to go the extra mile, how do you break free of the photo? The still life is easy. Just set it up and start painting. Likewise, there’s little excuse for trying to paint a landscape from a photo. If you’re nervous about going out alone, find a painting buddy or group. There are Plein Air groups in most areas now.  OPA sponsors paint outs all over the country.  Seek, and ye shall find.



“The Mercenary” by William Schneider OPA
It’s a little more challenging to find place to paint the live model but a little digging will yield results. Local colleges or art centers may sponsor open studios. I paint with a number of groups in my area. In fact, I started hosting a group in my studio. We all chip in to pay the model. If you can’t find a group, start one. Finding models is relatively easy. Most people are flattered if you ask them to sit for you. There are even model websites.

Once we start to see the benefits in our work, we want more. The little bit of extra effort to paint from life, pays off tenfold.

Happy painting!

A thinking about oil painting

In one thousand two hundred the Chinese oil painting since local history, and what a canvas system, or oil painting genre, or oil painting style, or oil painting style, really belongs to our own original "version", and has produced a wide range of international influence?

European  Classical oil painting wholesale put no matter, said impressionist or impressionist later, France can be said to be the birthplace of modernist art. After the second world war, the United States was the birthplace of the post-modern art. Britain, Germany, Italy, Spain, even Japan, South Korea, also don't fiddle, have launched their own ingenious "version" (such as new performance, ultra avant-garde, new concrete, etc.). The above method, America, Germany, Britain, Italy and other countries of different "version" art, has produced different degree of international influence.

China again we look back a generation of artists, it is in constant learning and using for reference, imitation, transplantation, "pirated" and "new" Europe "version" of modern paintings at the same time, every little bit, slow and rigid writes our own oil painting history. As the year before Mr WenLiPeng at a conference on said, summarized up is a words: "to learn, to learn and to learn." We first have the typical realistic style oil painting (the traditional continues today, such as the early 1980 s, the "scar art", "life flow" art); With the LinFengMian to as a representative of the group after group of "Chinese and western blends together the" modern compromise style oil painting, or tend to abstract doctrine, or tend to expressionism, vary; After liberation, "su shi realism" style paintings and once thriving, developed, has become the mainstream of MingChongYiShi (a style that was once decline down, now has looked up); At the same time, "oil painting nationalization" voice also growing in, in this slogan inspiring, freehand brushwork in traditional  Classical Nude Painting (or yue new enjoyable) style paintings finally got certain development (for example WeiTianLin, the developmental WuDaYu, wu guanzhong, SuTianCi, representatives); In recent years, the style of painting widely popular, but also a lot of talents; Since the reform and opening, "from" the stars painting exhibition "to '85 art trendy, to imitate western modernism and postmodernism art, soon became a younger generation of artists" fashion behavior ", all kinds of socialist (abstract expressionist, socialist, cubism, surrealism, abstract expressionist......) Art is a master of art style of Europe and America many again almost can find them in the domestic imitators and "pirated" works, pushing up holding "new generation art", "playing the world or PoPi realism," "political borp", "pop culture", "the keitch art or yue 'colourful makeup life" art ", and so on, it can be seen as western mainstream art on a platter of and a Chinese "spring rolls" (LiXianTing language). Dare to ask which a genre, and what kind of style and say we own original "Chinese version" oil painting? From the above list only all the facts come to see, my answer is: no. That said, and not to deny the western learning and the necessity of the modern and contemporary art, the more is not to say that want to kill one of the various results, but that should be alert to cause, must introspection.

Need deep reflection of the first point: in a period time, oil painting be mistaken for main is a craft, language problem, and in this respect, European masters is almost unattainable, so they kept to learn, meditate them. This look today, is actually an error. Oil painting is not only a problem craft, also is certainly not just a name but not the "oil" family name. We can't just meet in "to learn, to learn and to learn," "reference, reference, and reference", can no longer blindly follow sb to emulate that is "pirated" western modern, contemporary art of any a socialist, any genre, any a master. Should understand clearly that: the road is blocked. Or rather, road closed already had come to an end.

Need to reflect on the second point: we should go out LinFengMian xu beihong, such as in advance for our pioneers laid "integration", "Chinese and western blends together the" such a "bridge". Because the facts already proof: "integration" or "Chinese and western blends together the" or not can spawn "Chinese version" of any a kind of art, or, at best, is a kind of and gave a trade-off style after grafting. I have referred to them as "international" style of the native "version." Further, to remain in such a "bridge", we can neither beyond the west, also cannot transcend their traditional, "overpass" just "convenient bridge", they can not replace the hard way, to explore the creation of the road, self-improvement and self-reliance road, renewal. Any a national, regional, national art, must keep their differences, must have their own creative "version" art. Only in this way, can the world of art in the forest to win a place really, win the respect, and blended in among them, have wide international influence. Europe and America is already in the mainstream think so, do so. They never go to consider what the "west combined with", "in the west blends together", we naturally and so should want to, to do this. Is it can go to "combination", "with" one hundred years? Farewell xu, forest train of thought, it's about time!

Need deep reflection of a third point: blindly simply emphasize "nationalization". According to the folk art or traditional literati painting (freehand brushwork in traditional Chinese painting, spring art) model of and methods for developing oil painting, which is above says freehand brushwork in traditional Chinese painting or yue new enjoyable style paintings (also have a kind of view is "oil painting"), it seems that also produce not out "Chinese version" oil painting. Because blindly follow is simply that "counterpart" their own tradition art, both neither can transcend their traditional art, more can't enter the new vision of contemporary art. The traditional "element" (style, style, the method, the material) can't just follow suit, use only, also must pass a contemporary perspective filter, the transformation, the transfer and beyond, to make them to "resurrection" in contemporary art on the body.

Oil painting "immortal youth"

Thirty years ago, CaiJiangBai and Chen young and hot-blooded lechers or men who, full of "revolutionary romanticism" feelings, they decided to materials was household revolution two ZhouWenYong ChenTieJun legend martyrs, cooperation creation sanlian oil painting on the execution of the wedding "(the one of the earth haemorrheological nature", another the immortality of youth "third," as long as socialist true "). "The earth haemorrheological nature of the martyrs close-up head to lie on your back in the broad between heaven and earth, embodies the" freedom is the heart of the highest qualitative "(Hegel's language) and Chen's poetic state, no wonder when the fine arts exhibition of all 32 similar works, lost the election to the fore as every top awards won, and be art museum collection and the history of classic. Then they and the immortality of youth "creation, just the liberation army illustrated manuscripts, throw them both cooperation in the" immortal youth "(formerly known as" moral ") published in the December 1978 issue. That's a DaZuoPin counterparts, in fact the original as pictorial, enhance the whole details with a magnifying glass, depicts the escape of black and white gouache fly idea creation small draft. After Chen go abroad, leaving one sentence: "JiangBai, this painting or by you finish!" Soon JiangBai also went abroad, and the completion of the early work, because each rush thing, a busy "vision", a busy "teaching art", 27 years as stranded to escape death fly, JiangBai just suddenly back up, think of the old words. He decided to use five years will this group of Chen pour into the dream and the efforts of the two works after finish. Now JiangBai has to return to China for permanent residence, once (he escape big 4 years old than fly), and understand with their heart, : he generation don't draw, I'm afraid I didn't have to finish. He has escaped fly oil painting realistic work force, with a "survived" (in plane crash) experience, "special age" of education and to the complex of the revolutionary martyrs, and ease of old friends fly reverence and miss, make he must accomplish Chen's wishes. CaiJiangBai to enlarge the sketch draft, looking for image model, color try to make the cadence of Chen. Those two heads held high the execution ground wall back, according to escape before take care the changle way fly Catholic church "red", a huge oil painting "immortal youth" demonstrated in front of dark is thick fundamental key, "in blue main factors is dark" (Hegel's language) red symbol and the dawn of the revolution, the composition break the routine, bold initiative to picture behind those less than the space, the face of the character "object in lighting appeared as a process of the roundness of the full things" (Hegel's language, in Hegel's "aesthetics") the dungeon rush out as if, handcuffs, fetters, character YiWen, wall lifelike truthfully, seemed to hear "jingle" chain of sound. Fly and JiangBai escape (including senior artists) by Sue school before most influence (such as HeLu also husband "revolution soldiers" and put lu's "the devil" don't shares influence), learn from its straight line, square, and geometrical form, color constitute a style. Today's youth academy like impressionist, avant-garde, but draw a theme, the former Sue school mo belong to, so the red flag of Chen's a liberation army soldiers carry flag with a gun, standing before painting in the viewer will feel shocking, it is a "realistic" charm. The immortality of youth "reach this effect.

Make Preliminary Drawings The First Step In Your Portrait Process and Get the Painting Right the First Time

Every portrait painting is the result of a series of steps. Some artists have fewer steps than others, and most artists are eager to grab their paints and dive right into the color process. But those who simply pose their model and start painting are taking a lot of chances, such as improperly placing the model on the canvas or discovering a more interesting pose once you’ve already begun. After many hours of your hard work and your model’s patient posing, you don’t want to wipe it all off and start over again.
That’s why preliminary drawings are such an effective portrait tool because they help solve problems before they happen. Drawings let you map out your subject and get acquainted with all the hidden things you’ll need to know about him or her. Take bone structure, for instance — every skull is similar, but there are always subtle variations that can make a big difference in the portrait. You must be as aware of the unseen side of your subject as you are of the visible side. If you’re guessing, the viewer will know it.
Use drawings to get to know your subject before you begin the actual portrait. For some artists this may take no more than a few sketches and suggested values.
This kind of familiarity also pays off because with a live model, no matter how good a model he or she is, your subject is frequently changing. There are many muscles in the human head, more than in any other part of the body, and nearly all of them move when the expression changes on the subject’s face. If you can learn some thing about what muscles made the expression you want, then you can compensate for subtle changes (A smile, for instance, consists of much more than just upturned corners of the mouth.)
Put a little preparation into each portrait you do by starting off with preliminary drawings. You’ll soon find that a little investment up front can save you a lot of trouble later on, and it brings an important step closer to making your portraits the best they can be.
I have a good friend, Frank, who has wonderful bone structure. Every bone is right up front where I can see it. I snapped two photos of him, not pretty, smiley photos, but character studies. I wanted to show his bones and wrinkles off to their greatest advantage.
Portrait Pointer: when you can’t find a model who is willing to sit for several hours, go for photography. Be ready with your camera when a great face comes your way. Just remember, don’t just copy the photo, study the bone structure and value patterns the same as you would when using a live model. Measuring is very necessary. Remember, every skull is different. Don’t generalize. Drawing is not only necessary to portraiture but a beautiful and fun form of ArtsB2C.
