The chemistry of colour

Great presentation of an exhibition that took place at the Indianapolis Museum of Art few years ago. The exhibition explains where colour pigments come from, from mineral to organic and ultimately synthetic.

Egg tempera technique

The Egg Tempera technique has been widely used up until the 15th century where it gradually got replaced by the use of oil as a binder instead of egg yolk. Egg Tempera offers water resistance and durability but could only be used on hard panels when oil finally allowed the application on canvas without cracking.

Here is a great video demonstrating how egg tempera paint is made :

Tim Gula - Proko - Reilly method demo

Proko just posted a video featuring Tim Gula who was the student of a direct student of Reilly which I have covered on this blog a while back (link below).

I will also use this opportunity to mention that the Reilly method is thoroughly demonstrated in the Proko caricatures demos by Court Jones., proof that you shouldn't discard some teaching because you have no interest in the type of art. Court shows how useful the Reilly method is to draw a portrait that looks "solid" and constructed, despite the apparent pushed shapes.

Varying the T shape

Danielle Pioli has a nice concept about facial proportions. The T shape is what I called the triangle on a previous post. Varying the proportions of the T shape will help you create different character designs
