Calgary artist, Rex Beanland demonstrates a simple and fun method for drawing and painting cars. Watch this and you'll be ready to put cars in your paintings.
Hi Rex, I really like your videos and art. You are a master and a great teacher. Please keep making videos. We all need these kinds of tutorials for our improvement. Thanks.
Now I get it! Took awhile to find this, but worth the wait as I kept searching for a tutorial to help sketching cars make sense to my brain.......Thanks so much!
Thanks for your comment. I really appreciate it. You may want to look at the updated version of this video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_6xTY9eYurk.html
I have never been able to get a realistic looking car in my 60 years of painting but in one video I've achieved it.thank you . It looks like a car not a n old tin can
Excellent lesson! The comfort level you have with the medium of watercolour and all the surprises it offers is very exciting. I am so inspired I am moving to my studio to try your lesson. Will you be demonstrating this lesson at your 3 day Urban Landscape Workshop in Surrey, B.C. next weekend? I make this comment as a completely unbiased observer.
The only way a tire can be wider than the car if you put a wider tires on it and raise the body of the car above the height of the tire. Or take the fenders off
Creating A Centre Of Interest . one of my favorite videos! really got me back into watercolor and made me into the starving artist ive always wanted to be! winsor newton paint is $$$ have to love it!
Well that was pretty damn interesting. What I initially thought was a kinda crude drawing of a car is actually a car at its most basic level. Almost an impression of a car! It always shocks me how the mind gets tricked into seeing what's not there.
Thanks, Rex. I just painted these on sketchbook paper. 'Can't bring myself to waste good quality paper on the poor quality painting I'm still doing. I need a lot of practice, but want great results straight away; that's my trouble. But I've now made a resolution to practice painting no matter what it looks like! (Ha, ha) Your cars look great, b.t.w.
Thanks for watching the video. The idea of not wanting to waste 'good' paper is really common but in my experience it's not great thinking. Value yourself, your work and your learning enough to give it the best materials. The main reason to use good paper is that if you use inadequate paper you'll be fighting it all the time and most people end up thinking that it's their fault whereas the real culprit is the paper. Cheap paper won't give you the results that you're looking for.
@@kbboynew1 You are right, because I thought I would settle for Canson 270gsm watercolour paper and just tried practising a tree. ...Well, it was awful. There must be some technique for using that calibre of paper, but it sure doesn't lend itself to a watery wash.. It must be only for creamy paint on dry paper, is what I'm guessing. I have some Arches 300gsm and will go back to practising on that. Thanks for your kind advice. I really think a lot of good artists who take time out to help learners. It's a real Christian type of thing to do.
It's an interesting thought about what that less professional paper is good for. One thing I have learned is that when you are really good with your technique you can make the paper work because you can understand it's limitations and work with them. In this case it can be used for on location studies or quick sketches but it won't allow your work to glow.
Thanks for the comment. You might like my update of this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_6xTY9eYurk.html. it has more information.
