Vocabulary, Definitions

So this vocabulary list is something that I developed for the fourth Academy of Art summer school several years ago. I thought it would be very useful to release this also here so that we can have very clear communication regarding this terms. 

I also think that it would be really great if you have your input regarding vocabulary words and/or my use of those words. Please put your suggestions in the comment section so that I can add them to this list.

The skull that I use in my videos

The above link, which I hope works, is to the website where I bought my anatomical model. By the way, so sorry for the last post about this skull which had a link that didn’t work!

The Ear, Anatomy and Structure

It’s FINALLY here!

I have been working on a bunch of different projects lately and I am so happy to finally ge this one finished!

This video was a promise I made to you all in response to passing a subscription goal that has made it possible to commit even more time to recording and editing (the editing really takes more time) videos about the way I draw and the way that I see the world. THANK YOU ALL FOR THE SUPPORT!!!!

Cheers,

And here is a link to the page on their website where you can find this product:

A Mandarin, First Pass

This is a video technique I have been working on and I wanted to share it with all of you first. In this video I am painting with oil paint on a very fine weave of oil primed Belgian linen. I hope you find it useful and I would love to hear whatever feedback or questions you come up with! Thank you all again for your continued support and happy new year!

Materials, Part 2: Paper and Preparation

I am publishing because we reached the second goal for my page! Whew! Finally done with this one. I really tried to cut the time down but there is always so much to say about drawing materials. I will follow this up with a PDF listing all of the materials I used in this video. Please post any questions in the comments and I will get to them as soon as I can. 

Also, I am going to start recording the next portrait video tomorrow. Hopefully that means I can post some new drawing videos in th...

Materials, Part 1: Drawing and Erasing

A PDF that describes the makes and brands of the materials in this video is attached to this post.

I am publishing because we reached the first goal for my page! Also, the second goal is only a little bit away from being reached so I think that I will have to record the next one ASAP.
