Overview

Students will sketch an image on a canvas board. Students will mix black oil paint using French Ultramarine and Burnt Sienna. Students will create a painting using blacks, whites and grays. Students will create a smooth value painting. Students will wait for the black and white underpainting to dry. Students will then use linseed oil and colors to create a transparent glaze over the black and white painting. They will create a full color oil painting. Students will be introduced to Oil painting colors like Burnt Umber, Burnt Sienna, French Ultramarine, Cerulean Blue, Lemon Yellow, Cadmium Yellow, Yellow Ochre, Cadmium red, Rose, Magenta, Alizarin Crimson, Dioxazine Purple, and Pthalo Green. When using the colors, the student will see through transparent layers to see the black and white value painting underneath. This is a painting technique that was used by the Old Masters, called Grisaille. Grisaille painting is when an artist uses gray, black, and white to create the first layer of the painting, or the underpainting. The artist develops the image by adding shadows and highlights. Glazing is a technique in oil painting where an artist uses a glaze- like linseed oil, and mixes it with paint to make a transparent color or glaze. That is then painted on top of the dry underpainting, When the painting dries, you can see through the glaze to the painting underneath. This creates unusual colors that cannot be created with regular colors of oil paint.
