ArtWork


as Jackson Pollock said "painting the struggle and what is important is the process". in this ocation I'll write much about process and it is what I've being through and with the things I felt in the process. sometimes my friend asked to me how to made an painting, and we started with watercolour. day after day he was complained how hard to learn. yes of course something good comes from hard training and thats what we learned in Art institute. there is many kind of training ,such an anatomy study,sketch,stil life painting, potrait, colour study, ilustration,and ect. for example we should have more than one thousand sketch for two semester, and of course we should do another assignemt. thats enough to make us complaining. but that is the matter our personal emotional being trained too. that is the purpose of the training"control".
below I'll atach my sketch and another from the process in Institute and in environments. it is just example from thousands sketcs of my sketch books. 
is sketching we catch everything around like animals, peoples, buildings, plants,and ect. the good sketch must be on the spot where we can see and feel the object.
after sketching we must have a lithe line we enjoying like our fingger dancing on the paper.


after skething we should learn about colour because it is important for an artwork. in Institute learning colour will have much step like knowing what colour is, the primer colour, secondary colour and tertier colour. after that we will learn about tint,shade, and ect. if we are good enough we will conitue to the next step to manage the colour.
bellow I'll atach picture from my colour study books I did it good. 

left up is the colour wheel picture, the right up is the point of interest and below of it is a prespective picture.it is just an example of colour learning and managing. after studying colour we should umdertand about the ilustration where we make an picture and put a concept in there. there are so many concept you can found by yourself and that is important for a painting.
bellow I'll show you an example where I'fe tried to compalin about our studying system and like I am sjowing that I am not a machine. I use a pointilis technique for this one.

after we palying with much more ilustration studying, we should continue with an anatomy studying. we should learn about skul, muscle, until a full body.
bellow I'll atach some of my study as an example.
example of anatomy studying
after studying anatomy we'll start with another. it is still life painting, you will feel more enjoy in this step, so quiet and it is better if you do it in a garden.
bellow you can see my example of still life studying. I just find object I can found in the room and make myself comfortamble.
 after still life we will more enjoy making painting in any medium like watercolour, acrilic,poster paint, oil,and ect. bellow I'll show you example of my artwork studying in any medium. enjoy it because it is not being end here and I'll continue writing in next ocation and share about my paintings,manage an exhibition, and make an influence in art. thank you very much.
