Oil Painting Art procedure - Is Using Tracing Ok? DaVinci belief So - 7 Trace and change Ideas
Leonardo DaVinci traced landscapes: DaVinci went outdoors and located a sheet of glass over two easels and traced landscapes to study perspective. It wasn't cheating; it was part of his lifelong search for science, truth and accuracy in his art. Here, he was studying perspective.
- Students ask me if it is permissible to trace a photograph: I have a classmate from the art school from which I graduated. He has had a very mighty painting work all his life. He said: "Anything you do to help you form a painting is a strict method."
- Trace: Beginners in studying to paint in oils have trouble relating objects to each other in scale and placement in the picture they are drawing or painting. One solution: trace the photo, magazine or book image you are working from. Is that cheating? I think that is just doing one's job.
- Transfer the tracing: Artists can trace a photograph, a magazine image or a drawing they have ready by tracing on a sheet of tracing paper and then transferring their line drawing to a canvas or other drawing or painting surface.
- Make your own exchange sheet: You can make your own exchange paper by exterior a sheet of tracing paper with soft graphite pencil and then wiping the paper with a cotton ball dampened with lighter fluid or isopropyl alcohol (also called rubbing alcohol). The alcohol or lighter fluid dissolves the pencil and makes your tracing paper into a reusable exchange sheet.
- a. Tape the tracing to the canvas for an oil painting or other exterior you want to exchange the image to and then insert a sheet of exchange paper between your tracing and your canvas.
- b. Saral Paper is a industrial exchange sheet ready online from Dick Blick or Mister Art or which sometimes can be found at your local art furnish store.
- c. Draw over the lines on the front of your tracing with a ballpoint pen to exchange the Saral color to the canvas using this tracing-Saral-canvas "sandwich."
- You could alternatively use powdered graphite like "General's Powdered Graphite" (available from Dick Blick Art furnish online) to cover the exchange sheet. Apply it with chamois, fingers, or cloth or use a brush to apply it as a wash. You may need to rub in more pencil or graphite and/or use the cotton ball again to thoroughly cover the sheet for a second use.
- Trace and exchange directly: Alternately turn your drawing or photo over and rub the same soft pencil graphite or graphite powder all over the back and use the fluid and cotton ball technique described above in whole 4. Make your own exchange sheet to make your drawing or photo directly transferable to the canvas or other draw to make your drawing or photo directly transferable to the canvas or other drawing surface.
- Pounce Transfer: Muralists and artists have transferred first drawings using "Pounce" to canvases or walls for centuries. First, they ready a first drawing on paper. They then punctured the lines of the drawing with a "Pounce Wheel" or a sharp point (a needle or the sharp point of a drawing compass) to make tiny holes along each line. Then their punched through drawing is taped in place over the canvas or wall, and a bag of charcoal dust or a "Pounce Pouch" is lightly pounded on the front of the drawing. This pounding pushes charcoal through the holes in the drawing putting tiny dots of charcoal onto the canvas or other drawing or painting surface. These dots replicate the drawing lines as dotted pounce lines on the wall or canvas. You can buy Pounce Wheels, Pounce bags or Charcoal powder from online art stores like Dick Blick or Mister Art or at your local art store.
The lowest line: Like your brushes and oil paints, tracing is a tool that you can use to improve your oil paintings or drawings.

Make Me a Cartoon! How to quickly Cartoon Yourself For Free
Turning your photo into a cartoon web face is one of the hottest online trends throughout the group networking world today. Cartoon avatars serve as a unique way of branding your personal identity in a collection of online communities like Facebook, MySpace and many others. There are many dissimilar ways of creating a cartoon photograph by digitally manipulating a photograph of your face. Methods range from professional graphic image editing techniques using Photoshop or Illustrator to fully self-acting online website systems.
Since most people do not have access to professional image editing software like Photoshop nor the skills to use such a complex program, we will just look at some of the self-acting cartoon yourself for free methods available. So if you're still wondering how to make me a cartoon then keep reading.
Perhaps the quickest way to make a cartoonize photo of yourself is to use an online image editor like Lunapic. It's as a matter of fact simple...first I just go to the Lunapic website, then I select an image file for my web face and click "upload now". After the image has uploaded to their server, I can create the cartoon photograph of myself by going to the "effects" drop down menu at the top and then click on "cartoon".

Similar cartoonize photo results can be obtained by using Google's online image editing tool at Picasaweb. This service is a slight more complex than the Lunapic method above but it can yield similar results. One of the difficulties with Picasa is that Google will insist that you have an list with them before you can use the service but they do have more options available in their interface.

How to Make 3D Paper Art
Have you seen 3d paper art effects on scrapbook pages and wondered how they were achieved? Sometimes it takes very little to add a lot to a page or a card. It can look as though you have spent hours making a special item when in reality, it may only have taken some well located presses or a little knowledge of how to go about shaping your hand made or store bought embellishments.
Make 3D paper flowers
One of the best tools I know for shaping paper flowers is certainly called a flower shaping tool. It looks like a plastic stick that is rounded on both ends. One end is tapered and the other end has a half circle shape that allows you to crease your paper flower art. When you buy a tool, also buy a soft mat (like a more forgiving mouse pad) to use when shaping your flowers.
If you have some basic paper punches (circles, hearts) you are then in firm for making shaped paper flowers. A flower with petals is certainly made up of repetitive shapes. Punch out several hearts to form the petals, then place your flat piece of heart shaped card stock on the flower shaping mat.
Have you noticed that petals have a little cup shape towards the centre of the flower? Press on the pointy end of the heart and roll the tool to add a cup like shape.
Have you also noticed that many petals have a little lip on the edge, or a rounded shape? You can create both with a few presses of your tool. Then simply do the same to all of the rest of the petals and assemble your flower, using adhesive to keep the petals in place. Sometimes it helps to punch out a circle to act as a base to bind the petals to.
Make 3d paper leaves
Need some 3d leaves? Flat leaves can look fine, but adding a 3d element to them makes them look practically real. To make a uncomplicated leaf, punch a heart shape and cut it down the centre lengthwise, then discontinue trimming the shape into a leaf. You will have a rounded end (the stem end) and a pointy end to your leaf.
If you want raggedy edges leaves, tear the edges or cut them with decal edged scissors. If you want a mottled look now is the time to hanger-on your leaf with ink or splash it with paints or other treatments.
When it is dry, fold the leaf in half lengthwise, then crumple the card stock leaf and flatten it out slightly. Again use your paper shaping tool and pad to form a cup like shape on the rounded end, and maybe curl the tip of the leaf slightly. You can also draw in the veins and stem line of the leaf and/or ink the edges. I like to use gold ink on the edges of many of my leaves. Then make as many leaves as you like and add them to your card or layout.
If you correlate these leaves to projects with flat leaves, the contrast can be stunning.
Quill it
Another way to add dimension to layouts and cards is the quilling technique. For those who have not tried it, it looks very impressive yet is not very hard to do. Quilled shapes are made with thin strips of paper tightly or loosely coiled nearby a needle like shape. There are also quilling trays that will help the coils you make to stay a uniform size so you can make exact 'building blocks' for your embellishments.
The end of the strip of paper is whether anchored down while the coil is tight or the coil is allowed to relax and the loose end is adhered when it has terminated uncoiling. You will get good adhesion if you tear the end of your strip of paper as a torn end adheres more invisibly than a right cut one. You can buy quilling tools, or just start with a darning needle pushed into a cork and use the cork as a deal with while you wrap thin strips of paper nearby the needle. You can buy special quilling paper packs, though I have heard of people using thin paper put through a shredder for some of their projects. I personally find a shredder makes the paper a little too wide for card embellishments, but you may like that effect, especially on a 12" x 12" scrapbook layout.
Quilled embellishments can be made by repeating definite shapes. For example, the basic coil can make a flower. All you need is a yellow coil for the centre of the bloom, then five coils in other colour for the petals. If you pinch one side of your coil, you will have a leaf shape. If you pinch both sides of a coil, you will have a double pointed shape. There are lots more shapes you could learn to make the embellishments you would like. And you can build all sorts of shapes with quilled components, from animals to buildings to food to just about anything!
Recycle it
Another efficient way to add 3d elements to your projects is to add a 3d recycled element to the mix. Has your feather duster lost a feather? Scrap with it! Is there an fascinating insert inside a box? See if it is just what you are finding for with a definite layout. Do you have some old packing boxes? Tear one open and see if the corrugated card inside inspires you to make an decoration from it. There is so much you can add with recycled materials.
Ribbon, material and more
I am sure you know how to use ribbon on a page or card. You bind it down flat with a piece of double sided tape, right? Yes, that adds a little 3d element, but you can do much more with ribbon. You have probably already tied bows on a card or layout. But have you pleated it, sewn over the pleats, looped or curled it? Have you ruffled it and used the ruffle to wind into a flower shape held together with a button centre? How about tying knots in the end of a bunch of ribbons and then tying the bunch together and adding that to your project?
Ribbons can mimic stems for flowers too. Experiment with ribbon and twine and cord and leather. Try using netting or other pieces of material to add interest. Use a piece of material from a special dress or room furnishing to add value to the branch you are scrapping about. Use it as a background for a photo, or gathered or tied or scrunched - the choices are only little by your imagination.
Texturise it
Yet other wonderful 3d element can be added with texture paints or gesso (coloured or otherwise). Slather colour on to the object and use varied objects to 'work' it such as spatulas, paint brushes, a fork, a toothpick, a cotton bud, the end of a bobby pin. Use anyone you think will make an fascinating texture. Dab at it with an old hair brush or toothbrush. Embed beads, buttons, sequins or crystals in it. Add little shells. Throw on some glitter. Have fun! You will make something truly former and fascinating to add as a background for your projects.
Remember that Cuttlebug or Big Shot machines dry emboss card stock. Make it even more fascinating by sanding the ridges of the embossed patterns, or chalking them, or swiping an ink pad over them or painting and removing some of the paint with a tissue before it is wholly dry. Crumple up the paper and smooth it out again.
I hope these ideas have inspired you to experiment and move a little (or a lot) surface your relax zone to add some lovely 3d paper art to your handcrafted papercrafting repertoire.
Have fun!

How To Make Origami Flowers
Origami is a Japanese word meaning the art of folding papers into shapes to create attractive objects. Studying how to make origami flowers will give you a sense of pride and accomplishment.
Any local hobby, or art store would carry the definite color or colors of origami paper that you may need to produce your flowers. You can use regular newspaper but it is commonly too thick for the folding process, any way the specialized origami paper is thin sufficient and cut to the right size and shape.
When making an origami flower this is exactly what is done and for these origami flowers only a few tools are needed. Aside from origami paper the only tools you need are; a pair of scissors, a pencil, and a ruler.
One of the easiest origami flowers to make is the rose. Four sheets of origami paper are needed, one sheet for the leaves (green) and three sheets for the flower (red). The second red piece is about three quarters the distance of the first, and the third is about three quarters the distance of the second one. The fourth quadrate (the green one) is the same size as the largest red piece. Origami quadrate base is the pattern that will be used to fold all three of the red pieces. This process is very easy once you learn it.
Take one quadrate and fold it on the diagonals, then on the East-West line and the North-south line.
Make sure that the colored side is facing upwards. Now fold the diagonals as the valley goes (downward), and the East-West and North-South as the mountain goes (upward). Repeat this process on the other 2 red pieces.
Make an imaginary line straight through the paper, then fold and unfold the right corner of the base to the middle of the imaginary line. Next fold the edge onto the crease mark you made and unfold it. And then you can fold the right edge to the left, and repeat this process on the reverse side. Perform the same steps on the other two pieces of red origami paper. Then, put the rose petal forms inside one someone else to giving your flower a 3D look. Lastly, shape the green paper to make leaves and put it underneath all the red pedals for a beautiful flower.
Origami flower art is an cheap hobby that can be very rewarding. It's not hard to learn, once you get the right directions, and it's very much fun to do. One or two hours spend on Studying these processes is roughly all the time it would take. The creation of origami flowers gets faster the more of these lovely flowers you make.
