How art students draw a still life geometry well

Through the relationship of geometry

Many people can learn more extended knowledge points

Cut surfaces with lines, cut bodies with faces

Understand in the form of blocks

A sphere can be difficult to draw

But a cube must be simple and easy to use

American painter Carol Marine

Carol grew up in a small town

A domed house and three siblings

Cats, goats, chickens, some plants

Very primitive and pleasant rural life

The parents' advice is Like what you like

-

"We can't everyone be rich,

But having fun is enough, so I love painting. "

In college

Carol studied painting

Attending the University of Texas at Austin

In school

Carol's teachers and professors are very artistic

But it will be easier Ignore teaching students more basic things

Last year of college Carol married

She became a mother of two children

Her husband continued to support her interest in painting after graduation

Carol feels deeply There's so little to learn at school

Except for one paper

She seems to be fast Don't know how to draw

She painted again for five years

Carol repainted almost from scratch

Relive the process of painting while taking care of the baby

She started drawing again One big, ugly failure after another

Working hard to paint some huge works

Although several works were finally selected for the gallery

Persistence for 5 years hardly brings any living security

Carol is about to give up painting

After taking care of children, Draw some small pictures in boredom

Her paintings are completely different from those in college

After all, I have accumulated a lot of experience in the process of painting

"Small paintings" are handy for her

I can even receive daily requests from fans for paintings

Compared to the practice of large-scale works in school

Carol prefers small-sized creations

Because her paintings don't need to look big either

She spent another six months painting and painting

Carol's constant attempts and gropes

There is a simple and eye-catching work in the form of expression

The brushwork in Carroll's paintings is very classic

Distinct expressionism

Rough and expressive brush strokes

And extremely accurate light capture

On a completely unrealistic basis

Bold color relationships and compositions But let the works highlight the passion for painting generate's texture

These everyday items record

Although some elements are duplicate

However, under her pen, it is repeatedly endowed with the beauty of painting

In fact, there is nothing particularly memorable

It's just a lack of poetic observation in ordinary life in daily life

How great can it be to learn to draw

Just start with some life observations

Simple doesn't mean easy

Sometimes the more simple things seem, the more they test your skills

Carroll's works embrace many subjects

There are still lifes, landscapes, animals, characters, etc

And the most outstanding thing is naturally Still life painting

Impact the audience's vision with the visual effect of "geometric block"

Although not so smooth and real

But there is no shortage of Embodiment of texture

"Draw a circle with a square" is in Excellent performance in Carol's paintings

The block feeling and thickness of oil painting

It is clear at a glance in clear brushstrokes

Create with still life placement

And this is The first things art students learn

Carol got lost and found her way again

The idea is to draw a little picture every day, post it to the blog, and find fans who like it. The process was enjoyable! I slowly accumulated a group of fans. Although the paintings I paint every day are not so expensive and meaningful, they are always sold out. Unexpectedly, when I was about to give up, I survived on a boring idea. Six months later, I received my first invitation to teach, then my second, and soon, workshops across the United States and Canada were sold out.

 

In 2006, her husband was Carol founded Personal Online Gallery

It has its own art exhibition

There are also many friends who insist on and love painting

From the first attempt of "small painting"

Carroll almost created super 2000 works

A seemingly simple work

Perhaps it is the inevitable result of college and 5-year dreams

▲ Invited to "Artist Magazine"

No reputation of being famous

But Carol is holding on to a belief for every dreamer

Originally "The painting doesn't have to be big, and it doesn't have to be time-consuming and labor-intensive"

But for successful Hard work and sweat must be paid

Then find your own direction

Have seen the daily practice of sketching

Carol also included an oil painting still life "Daily Painting."

First is like

Then comes life

Excellence is sometimes like Like Carol's smaller works

Habit becomes the best work

Appreciate and learn more works
