By using a Color Wheels I will be using red-orange-Blue green and Orange-Blue. These will be my contrast between the background and the foreground.Ģ. The complementary pairs have a warm color and a cool color to use. You can choose any color scheme to work with I am going to use a double complement scheme for this picture that will use two complementary pairs of colors as well as black and white. When you are finished and remove the newsprint you should have a space between each shape and you are ready to apply the crayon.Īpplying the Crayon and using a color schemeġ.
Trace over the edge of the black line with a ballpoint pen on both sides of the line. (Seral Transfer Paper may be used to transfer if available)Ĥ. Next tape the newsprint with graphite on the back over the drawing paper and tape it down on the top edge in two places. Place the drawing paper on Drawing Boards or flat surface. Transfer the design onto a piece of good drawing paper around 80# by using graphite on the back and tracing over the newsprint with a ball point pen onto the white paper. This dark, thick line will be the space between each shape.ģ. Go over the pencil lines with the marker making a 1/8" to ¼" (3 mm to 6 mm) wide line around each shape. An easy way to do this is with a large felt tip pen.Ģ. After the design is finished as an outline we want to make the line thick and create a space between shapes. Borders should relate to the letter in some way.īlack Felt tip pens - Graphite Sticks - Ballpoint pen - Good Drawing Paper 80#ġ. Make some thumbnail sketches on newsprint - Create a letter design on newsprint with stylized objects to illustrate the letter. For instance, if you were stylizing a bird and the feathers in the wing, you would simplify the number of feathers to a smaller number in order to see that it is a wing but not have to show every feather. Sometimes when we stylize you can use less detail to show the same thing. Cartoons are stylized and simplified versions of real things. The mode of design called stylization means to simplify things to their most basic components. We will be leaving a space between shapes and then painted in the lines the paint will resist the wax and only go onto the raw paper.
Some artists apply the paint over the entire crayon area and scrape the paint off. This mixed media work is using the black paint to show a contrast between the shapes of crayon and gives the illusion of a stained glass window. The repelling of the water in the paint with the wax of the crayon allows paint to be used between shapes of crayon and shows a black line around the edges of the crayon. In this art piece we are using wax and water based paint to resist each other and repel. The word resist is used to describe the action in which two materials or media repeal each other either chemically or physically. Each border devoted to specific themes: Christmas, music, gardens, birthdays, and more, with several topic-related images included with the frame. Abstract geometric forms contrast with foliate and floral elements in dynamic designs.įull-Color Frames and Borders CD-ROM and Book - 12 full-page and 24 half-page designs incorporate a rich profusion of flowers, butterflies, fans, and other Victorian images.
