Painting Exercises - Scribble Painting and Monochrome Painting

Here are two painting projects that you can try to add to your arsenal of painting techniques. The first project will entail the technique known as monochrome painting which is used for more than just under-painting.

This technique is also used to establish areas of light and dark and includes making moody paintings, as well. The second painting project is something I call \"scribble painting\" and is a good technique to help train the eye. This first painting project can be helpful for all painters regardless or skill or ability and underscores the point that it is used to demonstrate that tone the equal in importance as is color for making a satisfactory painting. Among painters that are noted for making monochrome paintings, the name of French painter Yves Klein stands out. The second project \"scribble painting\" can also help artists of all abilities learn to focus their minds on what they want to paint by quickly applying paint to paper. Project 1: Monochrome Painting and Single Color Usage Monochrome painting is a challenging painting project as it entails painting with the use of just a single color. The subject is not the center of attention nor is the color though dark colors are most suited for monochrome painting. You can experiment with different colors to depict their associated moods and choose the color that best fits the subject of the painting project for the monochrome painting. To create a desired tone, you may add some white or it can also be used to vary the thickness of the paint and thereby show the white of the paper or canvas. If the painter experiences difficulty in his or her painting project in setting the tone, trying a monochrome filter may be helpful or for those who are using a photo which you would like to paint, a photo-editing program would be able to change it to a black-and-white photo from its original color version. Another point to remember with regard to the painting project in monochrome is that you are free to create tonal contrast in places that it does not exist in, to make the painting better. In nature, can be found elements and in colors and form for all pictures lies a keyboard that holds the notes of the music and the artist need only pick and choose and group all these elements to produce best results. Project 2: Scribble Painting Another painting project you could try is scribble painting which is really putting down on paper what the eye perceives when studying objects that you desire to paint. This painting project may require the artist to be ready with many large sheets of paper and decide on the subject as well as set a timer and paint for the duration it is timed for. You should remember that this painting project requires that the artist focus on the entire object and not on the outline and needs to also work big and scribble to the edges of the paper. Also, the artist should use different colors and for those that sketch very fast, they could change the colors every time their eyes sweep across the entire subject.
