All Campfire Conversations - MASSIVE SPOILER WARNING!!!

Gouache/Water color sketching! Here is a glimpse into another process for creating bold images using
gouache! In this demo I am starting as a traditional watercolor, leaving the white of the board for the highest
luminance within the image- namely the sun light breaking through the clouds. But then I switch into more opaque mixtures as the painting is built up. If you work transparent to opaque, it’s really important not to cover up all the wonderful happy accidents from those first washes of color! Otherwise what was the point? Reflected and bounced light should be similar values to the original washes for those respective areas, but you can now introduce more subtle color notes within the shadows. As usual, I reserve the high-lites for the end. The final seconds show how easily an image will come together if the overall, major ideas and block in stages are working. #sammichlap #painting #drawing #color #pleinair #traditional #artwork #classic #watercolorart #artofinstagram

#sammichlap #gouachepainting #painting #drawing #trains_of_instagram #artofinstagram #greattimes #color #pleinair #pleinairpainting #green A recent gouache sketch from one of my favorite subjects from past years - Trains! In this case, the vintage GP9 diesel locomotive. As a 6 year kid I spent a lot of time at my dads wood shop, located off the west runway at the Burbank Airport (1974).I’d watch this exact engine roll past my fathers shop, which always inspired drawings to follow. I guess they really made an impression on me to this day!

#sammichlap #drawing #setdesigner #illustrationoftheday #sketchbooktour #artofinstagram #traditional #artwork #umbrellaacademy Here’s the short tour of a few ink sketches done for UA. These were finished in PS and posted the other day. Being able to sketch freely on paper, for a fantastic PD is the best! We searched for the look of the sets through these drawings.
Enjoy.

@sammichlap #artcenter #painting #filmstudies #design #cinematography #color #drawing #pleinair #artlessons #conceptart Week 3HW from my painting 1 class over at Art Center in Pasadena ca! 15 minute film frame studies x 24 per student x 17 students! This clip represents just a small portion of the work.
To introduce color mixing, I had each student use a limited palette(a different combination) for each frame, which was keyed in a certain direction for delivering specific harmonies. This class continues to exceed expectations! Keep in mind they are 2nd term students! Well done everyone!

#artcenter #accd #painting #outdoorpainting #pleinairpainting #artlessons #design #film #cinematicdesign #value #tonal #story #paintingdrills Week 2 HW for my Art Center painting 1 class. 64 film frames done in 5 minutes per frame with acrylic! These young artists are so impressive! Some of the students are doing 5 boards of 32, where I only asked for 2. Tonal clarity is one of the secrets for creating bold pictures. Week 1 was another 64 frames!
