Painting process
Last week, we visited SUHU Art Spaces, there we were given a brief talk about what we should do before start a drawing. There our module leader told us what should do.
First, we need to images on what we want to do and to get idea from. He also told that the painter on other time conduct a research on what they want to draw. But, nowadays we just need to take picture from phone our digital camera and just edit it in some software and we will get the picture that we want.
Then, when we want to start the painting, we need to know what size of the frame we need. To make a frame that good we need a accurate measurement and angle to do it. Mostly the angle that painter use is 90 degree and the length is according to what we want.
Next, is the canvas. In painting you should have the right type of canvas to the types of your paint. it is because, each types of paint has it different specific coating or absorbent. They 3 types of canvas, oil canvas is for oil painting, absorbent canvas is for tempera and lastly, the universal canvas is good for oil painting and acrylic painting.
After the brief talk, our module lead us to the another side of the art space where, 2 students of UITM is taking part in Nando's Chicken competition in making a new signboard for Nando's. One of the student mix media to created his artworks, where he use a traditional method to created his artwork for the chicken and then created a full cartons of egg model by using 3D print machine.
