Basics of Painting: a Beginning of a Masterpiece

Today my friend Max taught me basic things necessary to know if you decided to paint.

This post is a step by step illustrated guide that gives you an impression of how this works.

We started from deploying an easel:

Then we needed a pallet. We decided to make one by ourselves. Very easy one, you can “recharge” it many times quickly:

Then goes all the stuff: paints, brushes, medium, some paper to clean your hands from time to time, etc.

Don’t forget to fix your canvas in the easel.

Then it’s a time to put a bit of each basic colors onto the pallet:

That’s it

Now take your never-yet-used brush and prepare it:

And make your first touch

If you like it – go on

So we got smth like a sky. Not very nice as for the first try but nobody expected that it would be incredible painting

Close look shows that my hand definitely has a talent. Now I just need to develop it.

Coordinates

Ok kids, this time it’s a time to recall some math. Did you like math in school? I bet most of you didn’t;)

Math should be funny enough for people to like it. So here is some funny math for you. I don’t remember anymore how to properly call this simple stuff, but when you trapped – the most needed thing is a proper system of coordinates.

Here we go:

xyй

P.S. To appreciate this cordinate system one MUST consult the person who knows Russian language or language alike

I’m not that serious this time.. but that how it goes.

See ya, bye.
