Glazing the Great Dino-Dragons!

a type of glass that are especially made to stick onto pots and other ceramic surfaces. 

Is it Paint?!  (no!)


Color Options:
MAJOR COLORS!
Red  Orange  Yellow  Green  Blue  Purple  White

Minor Colors...

Major Colors take over MOST of your sculpture.

Minor Colors are what we use on the details.

Perspective

Goal:  Creating our own imaginative 1 point perspective painting.

We are going to create a 1 point perspective painting.
1. What's perspective?
2. What do we need have in our drawing?
Three things - 1 - horizon line.  2 - vanishing point. 3 lines in the foreground moving back toward the vanishing point.
3. Size and Verticals.
4.  IMAGINATION - Visualize and draw what you see.

Critique the Examples.  Let them inspire you!

Painting Process will be next.... tints, shades, and colors OH MY!


DEPTH!  To be able to reach back into a setting... only it's a piece of paper... perspective is the illusion of space in a setting... it's SO AWESOME!

1 point perspective  -  horizon line  -  vanishing point  -  angle - vertical - horizontal - PATIENCE

do you remember this?....

But WE want to go out there... and learn about Ben Heine

And... then we want to find our own kind of imaginative 1 point perspective...
Possible examples...
