This video is an educational collaboration with Derwent.
Learn the technique of grisaille painting using the set of 12 Derwent Inktense pencils. Inktense is permanent once dry so you can easily layer without lifting up the previous layers of pigment. This is a beginner-level tutorial and I encourage anyone to try it!
Supplies:
Inktense pencils set of 12: Amazon: amzn.to/3jALxd3 or Blick: shrsl.com/3gsqe
White inktense block shrsl.com/3gsqg
Hot press watercolor paper amzn.to/3E7HA9j

@jacquelinebudd1277 2 года назад

I love that you teach grisaille, I’ve never seen anyone else teach this technique. I saw a tutorial you did on grisaille a few years ago, I think maybe that was in acrylic or oil. I have some water soluble oils that I’m trying pluck up courage to try, I’m not really interested in acrylic. However, I do have a lot of Inktense products that haven’t fulfilled their potential so I’m delighted by this tutorial - thank you.

Absolutely stunning! Best use of Inktense I’ve seen. Also wish you said the comment about teenage boys drawing and moving into painting about three years ago when my son was a gorgeous artist with charcoal and a 8b pencil! Absolutely super but unfortunately he chose art in secondary school as a fun - enjoy the moment when I’m not doing academic stuff subject! He loved drawing. He has a very realistic style and his teacher tried to change his realistic style to Picasso! If I had shown him your version of pencil to paint - he would have loved it! Unfortunately, since getting a great grade in secondary school he’s not picked up a pencil! I believe artist styles should not be messed with! I’ll show him the pencil to paint idea just to try and encourage him to try art again! Thank you

Your intro was so fancy and professional, confused me for a minute 😋 (not a criticism of your normal format at all!). What a fantastic technique, this really speaks to me. I learned a lot just from watching you do the underpainting, the coloring was almost incidental. Doing the shading really helped me see the subjects in pieces and shapes, instead of what my brain says the whole composition should look like. Will definitely try this, thanks!

@SheilaLandry 2 года назад

This was a great video. I often use this technique with other mediums like acrylics and ink as the 'grisaille' layer. I did a raven on black using white ink first to paint the values and then I glazed over it. It came out much better than I expected. Inktense make a wonderful medium for this process, too. Thanks again!

@thefrugalcrafter 2 года назад

That must have been a challenge to work white on black!

@SheilaLandry 2 года назад

@@thefrugalcrafter I actually wound up taking the reference photo into Photoshop and desaturating the color and then inverting it, so the lights showed as darks and the darks as lights. It looked like a negative of film from the olden days. LOL. That helped switch my brain a little bit when doing those values. The process worked very well overall. Recognizing values is really key. :)

@michemman 2 года назад

Thanks Lindsay, this made me feel like I was back at art school (TAFE) in 1993. Interesting technique with the black first, never seen that before! We had an A1 drawing of "eggs and wide white ribbon standing edge on, around the eggs", we only were encouraged to only use the tip of the pencil, rather than the side. it took weeks! One lamp as the light source, it was very difficult to get the egg shape, and the shell to look soft, matte, with subtle values. It seems like these rudimentary studies are not done so much anymore, but the values are valuable! I never would have thought to use the inktense black pencil on it's side for all that area...and for this particular old master technique, appropriate. Every object that sits on something, has a tiny thin shadow line underneath it too, this gives a solid base to stop it floating off. In kindred spirit, Eliza Australia 15th of April 2022, 11:21am

Finished my attempt at this one. Messed up with the drawing to start with so I checked to see if you used a different size block to the one I have but they are the same. I seemed to have to squash everything in and still ran out of space.
