what are the different painting techniques? I DON'T mean walls, or houses...!?

Question

I need to find this answer for my art class, so I don't mean house improvement, or how to paint walls, or how to make my living room brighter... I mean painting in a canvas, etc.

Answer 1

Impasto is a technique used in painting where paint is laid on an area of the surface (or the entire canvas) very thickly, usually thickly enough that the brush or painting-knife strokes are visible. Paint can also be mixed right on the canvas. When dry, impasto provides texture, the paint coming out of the canvas.

Computer painting is the task of using a personal computer to create images using raster, vector or bitmap based editing with computer graphics programs such as CorelDRAW, Photoshop and GIMP. Another type of computer painting is ASCII art.

Glaze in painting is a transparent medium. Whatever is on the surface beneath the glaze shows through applied medium. A glaze changes the color cast or texture (gloss or matte, for instance) of the surface. For many centuries painters have applied glazes to their works.

Grisaille (grĭ-zī', -zāl') (Fr. gris, grey) is a term for painting executed entirely in monochrome, in various shades of grey, particularly used in decoration to represent objects in relief.

Pointillism is a style of painting in which non-primary colors are generated by the visual mixing of points of primary colors placed very close to each other. The method is also known as Divisionism. This technique was in contrast to current methods of creating non-primary colors, including mixing pigment in the palette or using pigments out of a tube.

Sfumato is a term used by Leonardo da Vinci to refer to a painting technique which overlays translucent layers of colour to create perceptions of depth, volume and form. In particular, it refers to the blending of colours or tones, so subtly that there is no perceptible transition.

Ink and wash painting is an East Asian type of brush painting. It is also known as wash painting, or by its Japanese name, sumi-e. Only black ink — the same as used in East Asian calligraphy — in various concentrations is used.

Brush painting:The art of brush painting using brush and ink is of Chinese origin, but has developed extensively throughout the region. This article outlines the basic foundation, history, and techniques of this art, and then directs the reader to national schools: Chinese brush painting, Korean brush painting, Vietnamese brush painting, Japanese brush painting, and the like.

Fingerpaint is a kind of paint intended to be applied with the fingers; it typically comes in pots and is used by small children, though it has very occasionally been used by adults either to teach art to children, or for their own independent use (As in Farrah Fawcett's failed attempt at a come-back in her pay-per-view special).

Grattage is a surrealist technique in painting in which (usually dry) paint is scraped off the canvas. It was employed by Max Ernst and Joan Miró [1].

Answer 2

oh no. That is EXACTLY what happened to our family a couple of years ago. I don't know if it's the same as splotchy, but our walls got a bit inflated and bubbly underneath the paint in some areas. Your problem is that the original white paint on the wall was the cheap type (forgot the name, sorry) that most people used when they were selling a house just to get the refurnished-look through to the buyers. The reason why your getting this splotchy look is because the cheap paint reacts to the new highr- quality paint and begins to create air- bubbles and a smeared, loosely hanging off walls look. What needs to be done is: OUR GOAL: to end "splotchiness" HOW TO REACH IT: remove underneath "cheap" paint WHICH MEANS: You need to purchase some scrapers from Home Depot (~$5) and scrape all the wall's white paint off before you restart painting. Yes, it is very time consuming, but it is the only way to get rid of the underneath paint. In order to start scraping, the walls must be moist (a hose or sponges required) (make sure to cover the floors with plastic floor covering -Home Depot). Scrape off the white paint anywhere you will be painting- Nowhere else b/c you would end up with ugly, bare walls. So, that's that. I really wish you the best. Good luck!

Answer 3

The "wet-on-wet" technique used in oil painting is one of the best methods to use. Originally brought to the public by William Alexander and Bob Ross, this technique application begins with a light coat of thin white oil paint (made to the specifications of both artists mentioned) and then begin your painting, not allowing it to dry.

In this method of oil painting you'd use the palette knife and several assorted types of brushes of sable and horsehair. The fan brush, the one-inch and the two-inch brushes for foliage, clouds, water and sky will be your main tools.

There are also some fine liners for detail work, depending on your choice of subject.

The paints that Alexander and Ross patented are expensive, but so much less oily in content. You can get a starter kit for about $70 and a couple of stretched canvases for around $10 or so.

The starter kit of Bob Ross's will explain his technique in an systematic order that will compel you to try his way of painting.

Do it.

Answer 4

If you are using acrylic...
Use your hands. Thats what I do. It helps bring out the emotions that im feeling at that time. Its wonderful you can get the smooth texture or you can rough it up if you want. Blending is beautiful when its done this way. And also i like the way the paint feels between my fingers. Its relaxing really.
If you are using water color...
Use salt on your paper. It creates these spots best used when stippling is needed or just an awesome texture effect.

Answer 5

Sfumato: Smooth blending of colors (Leonardo DaVinci or Michelangelo.

Impasto: Strong crude brush strokes full of paint (Van Gogh)

Dripping: Drops of paint on the canvas, this technique requires improvising with the composition as the paint falls on the canvas. (Pollock)
