Painting techniques
There are various techniques which are used are followed for painting depending up on one’s requisite or the look and feel required for the painting
1. Impasto 2. Computer painting (Digital) 3. Glaze 4. Grisaille 5. Pointillism (aka divisionism, 'stippling') 6. Scumble 7. Sfumato 8. Sumi-e 9. Wash
1. Impasto refers to a type of painting where the paint used embosses out of the canvas in which impressions exists .The paint used here is very thick and is spread all over the canvas or at times even mixed in the canvas and impressions are created in the paint using a stiff paint brush or a painting knife. This canvas painting when dried gives beautiful texture on the painting in the canvas. This type of painting was invented by great masters of painting to represent folds on the painting which reflects light in a particular way and gives the painter some sort of control over light. Next the impressions on the paintings would create expressions of strength and speed applied by the artist. This type of painting is very useful in various fields such as jewel designing, map representations (representing mountains fields and sea folds), cloth folding etc.
2. Computer painting otherwise known as digital painting involves in creating images using your own personal computer. Images are created scheming bitmap or vectors editing with computer graphics programs such as CorelDraw, Photoshop and GIMP .
3. Glaze is a type of gloss applied on paintings to bring in shine or lighting effects required for the figure in the paintings which could be colored or colorless but is transparent and shows the painting lying below the gloss.
4. Scumble is a type of gloss applied on paintings to bring in shine and present the painting in a lighter mode than the normal one. Scumble mode of painting is similar to the Glaze but scumble is opaque where as glaze is transparent.
5. Grisaille is not a paintings type by its own but an initial step in oil painting. It is the step representing lighter shades of the image to be painted. This type grisaille grey is basically a painting in lighter grey shade (followed as per the rules of oil painting the darker painting section follows the lighter colors to be implemented in oil painting) before the whole painting is all done. This painting is executed entirely on monochrome in various shades of grey which can also be used for decorative purposes such as representing an object in relief.
6. Pointillism is a type of painting technique based on the logic of mixing points of primary colors and generating non primary colors. These painting points when placed in close proximity with each other gives visual effects of figures which is not notable from a distance. Pointillism represents different range of colors not existing in traditional painting techniques or which cannot be obtained by mixing colors.
7. Wash is a painting technique to obtain shading effects in three dimensional model paintings. To bring in this effect in the paintings the painters use a thin layer of water colors where ever the effects are required.
8. Sfumato is a term or technique used by professional painters which means overlaying translucent layers of color in painting to create perceptions of depth, volume and form.
9. Sumi-e is nothing but painting using different concentrations of black ink. Generally artists prepare their own ink by grinding an ink stick with stone and bring in the required color by changing its concentrations. This type of brush painting was developed in china and the term sumi-e in their language means “ink pictures”. The art of sumi-e is executed with black ink as already discussed and on white rice paper using bamboo brushes.
