You’ve wanted to know the secrets for creating depth and
volume in your painted designs. It’s all in the shading and highlighting,
creating volume and shape. Join us in this video to discover these techniques
and theory.
This video is the next step following video one in my
Mastering the Decorative Painting Basics: Base Coating and Stroke Work. It also
is an excellent, stand alone guide for those of you who want to improve your
side loading or have had difficulty with side loading. You will learn easy to
follow steps that lead to successful side loading.
In our second video in the decorative painting basics series,
using acrylic paints, I will teach my step by step technique for side loading
your flat brush to smoothly and effectively shade or highlight the elements of
your design. We’ll also explore the art theory for creating volume within the
elements of your design.
After a short review of part one, base coating, I explain
and demonstrate the techniques for side loading. Working on the sample design
started in video one, we’ll begin to create volume and shape, bringing out the
berries and floral elements in this design. This video is broken into short
segments with breaks for you to practice the techniques. After the breaks we’ll
discuss problems that you might have encountered and how to correct these. By
the end of the video you will have an understanding of the side loading
techniques used in this video and be ready to practice these techniques, which
just means to paint, paint, paint. The more you practice side loading using
these steps the more fluent you become.
