This is the fourth of the art challenges.
If you would like to follow the challenges in order (you don't have to), then click HERE (https://paintbasket.com/using-patterns-in-art/)to go to the first challenge.
Follow this challenge tutorial HERE (https://paintbasket.com/texture-painting-techniques/)to learn all about how to add texture to your artworks.
Your challenge is to use an actual as well as a simulated texture in one painting. Your painting can be any subject under the sun as long as it has both these texture types in it.
Then return here to post your challenge entry.
All challenges are subject to the CHALLENGE RULES (https://paintbasket.com/members/index.php?topic=15404.0).
Good luck and have fun

Have to go to my local Bauhaus to search for a good structure paste. :D. Eventhough, I like the transparent gel, too..
Ach Nolan, you really can keep us busy. 🤨😉😅
I missed the tutorial with „the big five“. Will watch it.

You are really opening up our minds Nolan.
I want everybody to grow and continually improve O0

And I just learn about something new 'watercolor ground'... maybe Dennis refers to it in later lessons.

Considering I started out just experimenting on a bit of cardboard, on the outset I really wasn't holding much hope that a picture would form.
(I'm so glad you didn't limit this to just 2 tools Nolan, cos I just couldn't contain myself & just carried on with try one & nearly all. :2funny:
So the Simulated covered nearly all ( This is the most I ever painted, so I just wanted to get a feel for the way the paint spread, Brushes & mixing up colours, which is a new experience) & for the Actual I used the Builders Filler, Tape, sandpaper, Impasto & Metallic Paint.

I would love to know how you all manage to keep such a steady hand when you paint? Mine just shook alot.
I love your Dandelion painting MaryLou, It's is so beautiful, whispy very clever. I'm going to try doing some more texture pictures, now that I can see things that I would/n't use again & I'd love one day that I might be able to learn to paint by using softer colours and finer strokes :). You all do such beautiful work
Post by: Riya on November 17, 2019, 08:06:29 AM
My hand isn't steady as well, and I also suffer from doublevision, but before I start at my painting, I do a underpainting, or paint a sketch just for getting my hands 'ready' for painting, and ofcourse myself. When doing some 'test'painting I am more relaxed when sarting at the 'real'painting. And when I am done ...there is a lot of tweeking with a smaller brush, :2funny:

I don't seem to learn that it is difficult to take a photo of a painting with a large dark area and a large pale area... I kept doing this and the details get lost in the photo. The details and colors in the clouds are washed out, and the details of the foreground are gone. Any tips would be most welcome?

Post by: Bill76434 on November 21, 2019, 05:51:58 AM
I never take photo's of pictures with flash nor in the bright sunlight, Always in a bright even light situation.

Post by: JayJ on November 21, 2019, 11:16:40 AM
I like the first one too.I usually keep my painting on the floor and take early morning or late evening..so no harsh light.But never done texture painting ... so not sure if it will catch all the textures well!
Good luck!

I am horrible at taking photos :crazy2:but I do know that you can not use a flash. That much I have learned. :)
Post by: Annie. on November 21, 2019, 05:22:56 PM
The simulated texture is 'Shading' of the sky from light blue to ultramarine, number 4 in the Texture Tutorial. I guess the actual textures overshadows the shading :whistle:
:thankyou: Bill, Jay, Riya, Mary Lou, for the comments on taking photo. I will remove the one with the flash. Also thanks for the words of support.
Post by: nolan on November 21, 2019, 06:54:23 PM
In this photo your light is too strong and direct. When photographing you need indirect light which evenly illuminated the canvas. Usually from the front, but in this case you want to show texture so you ensure the light is from the side O0

All I have in my suitcase are pencils and a found piece of hessian, no access to paints and moulding paste etc 😊
This is done in Graphite, hessian and coloured pencil. The background is cross hatching, and the blouse is scrumbling

This time I used a better moddeling paste for some texture. The painting is done in acrylics, and some metalic paints for the green feathers, and some tears :'( . I did fall from the stairs...5 steps. So I am now very colorful, mostly black and blue :sweat: :2funny:
