鉛筆.炭筆.麂皮.素描

Peter Paul Rubens. Nicolai Fechin 兩位的鉛筆技法極高,也是一直以來想學習的對象, 對素描有興趣的朋友可以查查他們的素描.
這邊使用幾張照片來說明平常使用來畫素描的工具,主要是Wolff's Carbon Pencil. 炭精筆.麂皮.而筆頭的形狀非常重要,因為這牽涉到筆觸,而筆頭的長短也同等重要,細而長的是最能發揮的,但每種筆的特性不同,有些筆蕊軟且有韌性,有些脆而硬,削的長短常得因這些特性而調整,下筆過重也可能會折斷筆蕊.另外筆頭形狀磨成子彈頭的樣子是可以畫出最滑順的筆觸




這個連結可以帶到去年十二月份畫的一些素描.當時帶去的就是這盒素描工具


按上面的圖片可以到阿哲的素描網頁
另外2006年寫了一篇有關人體畫"抓形的一些方法"

Bio

Wei-Che, Jason, Juan was born in Taichung, Taiwan in 1977. He likes to observe the beauty of nature and do Chinese Calligraphy since he was a child. He always wanted to get chances to enter an art school but he studied four-year bachelor degree in Mathematic instead. After finished the study in 2001, with the deeply embedded dream of his life, he decided to pursue and fulfill his desire in art by carrying on a different learning path in the states.
In 2003, he just turned into 25 years old, and took his first official drawing class in the Art Institute of Seattle. After studying for two years, he learned gesture drawings and found human figures are one of the most beautiful things in the world. During that period, he merged Chinese calligraphy into figure drawing successfully.
In 2005, he decided to take a further step by doing oil paintings through self-learning. He sharpens his touch by painting live models as often as he could and believes painting is one of the most ideal ways to capture the most impressive moment of one’s life. The impression can be a reflection of a life-long story or just an image arisen from a glimpse.
Turning human gestures into powerful and attractive paintings is also one of his interested exercises. The strokes are usually loose and simple but they easily bring people into their imagination. It is obviously that in many paintings, he merges this idea into traditional oil painting.
It is his believe that in a wonderful painting, each stroke tells its own story for being there.

畫室一景

最佳的光線來源其實是陽光,因為各個顏色最平均,顏色也最好,不過好的閃光燈也是可以做到類似的效果,以下是經過很多不同拍法後,目前最容易也最直接的拍法.底下是Nikon D300.內建閃光燈及50mm F1.8的鏡頭組合拍攝的.
光圈f16,快門1/125(快門在這例子,其實並不重要,主要光源為閃燈),因為使用內建閃燈,相機自己會決定曝光量.



這張是拍完的相片,雖然避掉了反光,但有透視的問題,這就由Photoshop的Crop來解決.


Crop後會有比例的問題,可以用Image Size去調整


這邊是調整完的.

翰林森林



自從搬到Shoreline後,這是最常來的公園,一直想來這寫生,今天有了空閒時間到了這來,不過天氣冷,兩個小時後手凍僵了,就被迫停止.這張大小11X14英吋.

油畫一張


第二星期結束了 :)




16X20英吋局部

界線

很多車子穿梭在眼前,現在看不太清楚他站在甚麼地方,原來是一個小男孩,隱約的站在火車月台的那側,背景有個聲音,「出去玩了別忘了回到......」,小男孩怎樣也想不出回到那邊,明明是很簡單的兩個字.
這時樓梯下有個老婆婆,親切的跟他說爬上去看看,那應該是個小小的閣樓,小男孩一步一步的踏上去,往閣樓的開口剛好讓小男孩通過,當他過了那狹小的洞口後,一切格外的明亮,不可思議的剔透和眼睛無法觸及邊界的一片純白大地,他又往下看,都還是一樣,仍是像小雜貨店,還有剛剛那老婆婆和藹的幫她扶著梯子,笑笑得跟他說,全部的人都在找這個洞,小男孩疑惑的往水平線看,穿越過小雜貨店,形形色色的人都站在梯子上,有的超過了他的高度,有的到處模不著,可是當他又往上踏一步,穿過那層界線,一切還是平坦,沒有任何人穿過那界線而踏到這片大地,這時他好奇的又往上爬,看著這一切純白且沒有盡頭的地面,他決定一腳往前跨,但還來不及踏下那歩的瞬間,排山倒海的影像和物體朝他衝了過來,車子,人,汙濁的空氣和腳踏車,灰的黑的,難以呼吸的,他就快被這些淹沒而跌到了,突然的腦袋想到了「出去玩了別忘了回到......」,他想起來了,想起那兩個極其簡單的字,就在同時,那些混亂的影像消失了,腳著地的瞬間,踏回了火車月台.

To the West_美西之旅



San Francisco>Death Valley>Grand Canyon>Scottsdale, AZ>The J. Paul Getty Museum>Seattle 全程大概3000英哩,約4800公里.

舊金山是路過.接著到了阿哲的聖地,有兩個點是以前一直到不了的地方,分別是Eueka Sand Dune和The Racetrack,在路上開了兩個小時的Rally賽車,還幫助了一台拋錨的Audi A6.之後到了冷死人的大峽谷,跌進雪裡,幸好在熱鬧的大峽谷,一分鐘後就有路上的朋友來幫忙,之後到了Montezuma Castle National Monument,800~1000年印地安人的遺跡.Scottsdale,AZ的藝廊還真的是多到驚人,看了不少當代畫家的畫,最後到了Getty Center.

這裡有縮小照片的Zip連結,有興趣的朋友可以下載看看

油畫工具與流程_01/13更新

去年?
又一年了,去年十月左右在西雅圖旁邊小鎮的一個私人美術機構邀請阿哲開一短期的油畫示範課程,這件事阿哲本身覺得不妥而且酬勞並不多,本來想推掉但最後還是接了
是個兩天的人像油畫示範,分兩天共六個小時,於是一連串的想法就沒停得在腦袋裡出現.

畫的夠好嗎?
大家會想看些什麼?
沒在公開場合這樣畫過,該不會緊張到沒辦法畫?
阿哲沒受過嚴謹的美術教育訓練,甚至連一堂油畫課都沒上過,怎麼教人?
調色盤總是毫無章法,這樣能見人嗎?
......等

想了很多,總是得擬出個基本的來做準備,畢竟最終都把顏料放到了畫布上,只是放法可能不同於他人罷了.

畫油簡略可以分表現手法.技法純熟度與內容,當然這些常常都是並進也一起成長,甚至是綁在一塊的或是糾纏在一起,而畫就和寫字一樣表現著個人的特質和想法,這方面是沒辦法教導,欣賞畫的人想看的無非是這些,單純的一種吸引力.技法方面隨著時間會越來越純熟,因人因地時間長短不同.最近一次到The Paul Getty Center看到Degase更是明顯的感覺到,技法真的練得來.他前後時期的作品差異極大,單純的大量練習需要很強的推力.這推力可能來自各個面向.阿哲本身喜歡人體曲線的美還喜歡觀察人的互動與表情,也喜歡體驗新的視覺,所以每當熟悉一套模式後都設法改變來滿足需求. 過去阿哲的老師Carl Jackson給了一個想法,到目前還是覺得受用,他認為一但熟悉掌握現有的一切,就該去嘗試不同的作畫方式,臨摩或是不同媒材都可以,然後再回到自己當初的模式. 而阿哲這幾年都一直保持著這想法,所以漸漸的磨練出幾種不同的畫法,有些想法受限於時間很難去實驗,這邊阿哲想以最穩定的作畫流程來分享.

工具:

有關畫筆,前期試用過一些筆,目前都是使用Royal & Langnickel Langnickel Series 5590 Flat Brush,8號,30號以及44號是最常使用的



主要顏料有

Ultramarine Blue
Cadmium Orange
Cadmium Red
Transparent Oxide Red
viridian
yellow ochre
Zinc White
這些顏色涵蓋了95%的顏料使用

畫布偏向使用Linen,畫的質感和筆刷滑動很舒服
畫架我不太在意,只要架得住就好,目前比較大的兩幅創作都是放在地上畫的.

餵火

餵火有好幾種

慢慢餵可以持續很久,材可以用得久,但一不小心火就熄了
也可以一口氣餵很多,火不會吃不消,加越多火越烈,
烈火的好處是不用照顧,只要持續丟木頭,肯定不會熄滅

不過怎麼餵,材都會有燒完的時後,燒完的時候就暫時消失了,不過隨時都可以也可能回來.只要有準備新的木材可以餵她. 不過'就算我們沒有準備,她也在某個不知名的地方溫暖著人們
