Watercolor
In this
conventional watercolor, an overall wash renders the sketch underneath
visible, while a thicker application of paint is used for the details.
Deformation creates freshness, enlivening human subjects and tracing
scenery with a light touch.
|
|
Oil
Painting
This is a
conventional oil painting, with a glaze finish. Broad strokes are used for
the background, while the detail is added with a finer brush. Deformation
creates a solid impression.

|
|
Gouache
Gouache - the
application of opaque watercolors or poster colors - is a technique
characterized by an even spread of color across the surface.
|
|
Color
Pencil
The picture is
formed from rapid strokes drawn with color pencils. Deformation creates the
impression of movement
|
|
|
Pastel
In this
conventional picture executed in pastel crayons, both colors and
delineation are soft. Note that the pastel effect appears harsher on smooth
paper, and softer on rough paper.
|
|
Rectangles
This mosaic
technique combines rectangles of various sizes. Areas of emphasized focus
are treated with a corresponding amount of detail. The effect resembles
that of SF art, perhaps suggesting an artificial intelligence at work.
|
|
|
Triangles
This mosaic
technique combines triangles of various sizes. Areas of emphasized focus
are treated with a corresponding amount of detail. The effect resembles
that of SF art, perhaps suggesting an artificial intelligence at work.
|
|
Impasto
This oil
painting effect resembles traditional impasto, a technique in which paint
is applied straight from the tube. Blocks of color suggest the use of a
palette knife.
|
|
|
Pointillism
Soft stippling,
the technique of pointillism, results in a delicate watercolor rendering,
not unlike that of the Impressionists.
|
|
Silk Screen
The stencil
technique of silkscreen is especially good for contoured portraits of
people and sharply defined landscapes.
|
|
|
Collage
Impulsive
black lines are sketched over a base comprised of pieces of colored paper
or other background material.
|
|
Drawing
The use of bold
strokes and vivid inks creates abstract works expressing a lyrical beauty.
Often the original subject is not easily recognizable owing to this dynamic
approach.
|
|
|
Airbrush
Application of
the Airbrush creates a soft effect with vivid colors, a photorealistic
finish midway between a photograph and a painting. It is especially
recommended for portraits. As a background material, smooth paper is
suitable.
|
|
Embroidery
This filter
creates a relaxed effect with a nostalgic feel. Canvas textures are
suggested for the background.
|
|
|
Gothic oil
painting
The use of
light and dark in this Gothic style creates a rich, heavy effect suggestive
of medieval art. Canvas textures are suggested for the background.
|
|
Fauvist oil
painting
In the spirit
of Fauvism, this filter produces bold effects, with boisterous rendering
and intense colors. Subject matter is considerably deformed. Canvas
textures are suggested for the background.
