    Master artist and 20-year international instructor Jon deMartin joins ArtistsNetwork.tv to show you simple and effective ways to create realistic form in Painting with the Grisaile Method. In this video workshop, Jon shows you how a monochromatic palette is all you need to create stunning realism and dimension. Starting with an overview of materials, Jon begins with tips on drawing and proportions. He then takes you through the methods of creating both open grisaille (thin, transparent washes of paint to establish shape and shadow) and closed grisaille (building a full tonal and value spectrum) for results that will pop off your surface!

    I have been working at getting a handle on the Gresaille method for a while now and this is the first time I have really understood the technique behind it. From this short preview, I have also learned much about the importance of being economical with brush strokes. I look forward to watching your full-length DVD. Many thanks.

    True.
    Value is extremely important to create form.
    This is less so for many Impressionist paintings where color is used in place of value to create contrast.
    The contrast of saturated color surrounded by neutral colors will make an object stand out in much the same way that light and dark contrast does.
    Other form- creating contrasts are warm against cool color and the proximity of complementary colors.
    As an experiment, look at some landscapes by Monet in monochrome. The value contrast is minimal.

    Thanks for the detailed, painstaking explanation of some parts and other loose concepts.
    One can´t learn all from just a video. It´s the same with college lessons or in your career, or in life. You never get everything step by step and have the possibility of asking further questions to fill your gaps. There´s no expecting baby food when you learn something. Just you have to get along by searching, biting from here and there; chewing the stuff you add by yourself. Don´t expect a wonder teacher that explains the whole of something, in a painstaking orderly way, and just sticking to the subject. 'Matrix' and other movies had mislead people badly by oversimplifying life and learning processes: you step into the first problem to solve by yourself and in a few days just give up one thing and start another: but the process goes on and on because of the false expectations embedded in your brain by the fast food-fast learning- fast moving- etc...movie reality instead of the real world.
    ''I want it all and I want it now" was meant to do the opposite.

    Wonderful work and teaching. I have one question - if you have the time to answer, of course. I have undertaken similar tuition and was shown how to "mix in" the tones when finished to give a softer look. I do not remember the consistency of the medium to do this: would it be half oil and half turps? With this you rub the brush quickly from side to side on the canvas over the target area to blend in the tones. Any help would be much appreciated!!!

    Hey,
    Just wondering, what specific paint colours were used in the making of the grey grisaille painting of the man in the collared shirt in the background? Just ivory black and titanium white? Thank you

    • @hanestetico
      @hanestetico 8 лет назад +2

      The mix of ivory black and titanium white creats bluewish, cool grey tones. More likely he added a little amount of burnt umber to warm that mixture.

    I love Grisaille videos. Ivy league schools make artists that regurgitate definitions of contextual meanings for light and shadows, and dance around the fact that grisaille is only a monochromatic painting with a warm color and cool color... and tell you about all their choices on a greyscale of one to ten. That being said, this is one of the tamer ones.

      People... LOOK who posted this. It was NOT JON who posted this. Notice Jon is not answering ANY of your questions... He probably never even reads comments posted here. Artist Network posted this clip.. .to make you hungry to buy the video. If everything were shown, there would be no video to sell. Buy the DVD.. it is not that expensive.

    This method is very interesting, painting using various shades of only one color. My feeling is that trying to duplicate exact natural colors of an object or for a portrait is extremely boring and tedious and generally produces very boring art. Even if you duplicate the natural color exactly, so what? What does that prove only that you can mix colors well? Again, you match the natural color exactly, so what? You've successfully produced boring art.

    Why are Americans so insistent that the correct artistic word, TONE, should be called "value"? Tone is the correct word for differentiating between a colour's lightness or darkness. "Value" is a nonsensical word in this context since it means nothing to most artists outside America. Something's value is its monetary worth not its degree of lightness or shade.

      Why do so many non-Americans confine the use of “value” to mean monetary worth. It’s such a versatile term. What a shame.

    • @alangeorgebarstow
      @alangeorgebarstow Год назад

      @@jeffreygernert6969 You see, Jeff, tones have a value which is expressed as a 'tonal value' (i.e. the degree of darkness or lightness of a tone). However, to simply use the word 'value' in that respect, alone, is specious and risible. We 'non-Americans' tend to use the Oxford English Dictionary as the reference for standard English. I am aware that Noah Webster didn't like that, so he invented his own, somewhat retarded, dictionary to replace the Oxford. What many Americans don't know is that Webster proposed the use of 'ake' for ache, 'cloke' for cloak, 'dawter' for daughter, 'greef' for grief, 'grotesk' for grotesque, 'iland' for island, 'masheen' for machine, 'porpess' for porpoise, 'soop' for soup, 'steddy' for steady, and 'wimmin' for women. Unfortunately for dear ol' Noah the relevant American authorities, at the time, thought this was a step too far and dismissed these ridiculous suggestions out of hand. Have a nice day, y'all, Jeff dude!

      The moment you let a single entity (whether that be Oxford or Noah), define what language is “permissible” for you to use or express, is the moment you give up your own authority on how you can define language through your own words.
      Language is defined by use of the majority, not by the mouths of the few. What non-American English speakers fail to realize is that the language they speak now would also be considered retarded several generations prior, yet for some reason never fail to act in a pretentious manner when it comes to discussing the regional differences in languages. What’s even worse is that they lack the self awareness to realize that this is not exclusive to English, every language that spans across different regions have different language ticks.
      I would give quite a bit to view the conversation between a western English speaking European and an English speaker from the same region a century prior, it would likely be humbling for the current-day English speaker no doubt.
