David Morton
has taken his 19 years doing custom graphics, animation,faux painting,garments, portraiture,
automotive painting, signage art and much more, to consolidate a
training series for the beginning airbrush student and even the most
advanced of artisans alike. These videos are the rock solid
foundation in which to build many skills and will
show how to apply those skills to all surfaces.
You'll learn:
How to control color ( opaque and
transparent)
We explore the aesthetics and nuances of how colors
shift when layered in different palettes, how to mix luminous colors
such as pearls, interference, and auto air paints. How the colors
effect each other in composition and learning to reconstruct
mistakes with heat and fixatives.
Equipment do's and don'ts
We
discuss in detail proper air pressure, types of airbrushes,
ergonomics, mixing paint, and the "lighter to darker"
principal, to establish better control via shading and
rendering.
Aspects of a good composition
Finding balance within the opposing elements of an
image, and how to think about
positive and negative space and flow and harmony of a
work.
Realistic Woodgrain for faux, animation and
graphics
We
explore in depth the concepts of realism within the woodgraining
technique which
can be
applied towards all surfaces, layering the colors
harmoniously, and the introduction of loose and contact masking to
create 3-dimensional forms.
Realistic Cobblestone for Faux And
Graphics
We
explore the very hyper-realistic concept of Faux Cobblestone which
can be applied
towards home decor, animation backgrounds, automotive
graphics, and signage concepts.
We
learn how to buffer colors down to manipulate chroma, hue, and value
+ explore
unconventional tricks to accent the airbrush look via
other mediums.
Snakeskin for graphics and automotive
applications
We
explore the concepts of three different types of snakeskin to apply
towards all surfaces. We illustrate the proper etiquette on
maintaining a sterile surface while exploring the way paint reacts
to these diverse surfaces. Color is explored via a more
graphical intent or a more realistic, muted look. Loose masking and
the usage of textures and templates are the forefront of many of
these tricks.
Fleshtones for fine art and all
imagery
These concepts are the foundation for the novice
airbrush artist or the pro wanting a "user friendly" way to
approach fleshtones when approaching all imagery. We explore the
language of the freehand templates to create contour, form, and
manipulate soft and hard edges via certain techniques. The
Chiaroscuro concept ( from the famous artist Carravagio),
is also introduced in the fleshtone concept which helps
manipulate realism via certain types of photographs needed to
pull off the effect.
Realistic waterdrops for art and
graphics
Introduced in this technique is the tricky sequential
process and nature of how templates, controlling color, and use of
texture and light, can manipulate a very realistic, accenting
element, to any image. Discernment and placement of shadow and
contour is also the forefront of achieving mastery of this
process.
Intro to illustrating
A
myriad of textural tricks will be introduced to manipulate the eye
and the mind. Knowing what to bring into a piece for a certain
effect is invaluable in the end product of any particular dynamic of
any composition. The language of the freehand templates are of a
particular focus to establish a proper foundation for a work, and
raise the standard to a more professional grade. We learn how colors
compliment each other in various ways to further transcend an image
into a more sophisticated range.
Marble textures for furniture, graphics and
signs
Marble is a texture in which can be applied by
professional Faux painters ( walls and furniture) and artisans
alike. It can be applied as an automotive graphic inside of letters
or tribal art, a background for any particular backdrop or
commercial comission and an all around application for any 3-d
surface. Elements of exploration include the "less is more"
principal, controlling a good color balance, and sequential layering
of textural effects to create realism.
Surface preparation and protection
Different surfaces require different types of
preparation and protection. Discussed will be the applications of
certain types of clearcoats and sealers for walls and many
other diverse surfaces, and how those mediums will effect the
longevity of the piece via lightfastness and durability. Upon
purchase of the videos you will receive a 33 page manual from the
actual classes via PDF file to print and save as a reference point
for many "backyard" secrets and tricks.
Portraiture and facial components
We
will IN DEPTH explore the application of freehand templates,
subtractive highlighting concepts, and sequential masking. The 70/30
rule will be the forefront of this process in refining and mastering
accuracy in 3-dimensional proportions of the face. These concepts
are some of the best ways in approaching this subject without
intimidation or neurosis. Spacial awareness is a general focus as
well as shading etiquette and mastery of the dagger and feather
strokes to enhance an ability to control the airbrush
with accuity.
Diamond plate for auto graphics and commercial
art
We
explore the process of expediting the process of the highly sought
after diamond plate concept without having to buy an expensive
computer plotter. We focus on manipulating a distressed surface with
certain colors, and placing shadows and highlights accurately to
achieve a very believable graphic which can accent the
inside of letters or fonts, or as a stand alone image or
background.
Clouds for faux concepts and art
Clouds need appropriate colors and believable textures
to work. Subdued colors are a huge part of making clouds look
realistic and many different textural applications can expedite the
process . Equipment usage + large and small scale applications
are discussed as well as the importance of ventilation and
protection from the atomization of the mediums used. Clouds can be
used for faux concepts, theatrical backgrounds,
signage concepts, and anything in art or animation.
Dynamics and realism in skulls and
illustrating
Subtractive highlighting is a big part of the
Electro-Skull concept as it brings to light the fusion of a high
contrast image and the addition of intricate realistic effects.
Working in many levels of black and gray are a key component to the
hyper-realistic model in this particular composition. The usage of
freehand templates are critical in this sequential process and the
introduction of transparent paints are utilized to achieve
realism.
Realistic feathers and fur
Feathers and animal fur are a prominent component to
any believable image via animals or graphics. Different elements can
be brought in to distort the senses to a peak of believability
quicky if you know what to utilize. Color with the textural tricks
can produce high quality components to any composition as well as
the usage of freehand templates and diverse highlighting and
layering techniques.
Metal peelbacks
The
processes of metal peelbacks are dependent on the form and
technique, and ultimately the utilization of how color is layered.
Highlighting and very intricately placed templates will manipulate
contour with precision thus expediting the arduous process of
cutting masks. Craftsmanship and surface sterility are emphasized
thoroughly.
Advanced Textures(
NEW)
We will cover many realistic textures including chrome and
chrome letters, real fire, faux brick, fabric, flags, and much
more. We expose to the beginning student or the more
experienced airbrushers how to control color, sequential and loose
masking concepts, realism, achieving dimension and form,
compositional structuring, and much more. Finally we have also found
a way to approach the concepts of the ever so popular "Realistic
Fire", how to layer the colors and achieve an immediate
product with very little effort.
