Painting Faceless Angels in The
Beginner’s Painting Club
Make Them Your Own!
Painting faceless angels was the goal for the month in the Beginner’s Painting Club for November.
Mixing flesh tones are a very interesting phenomenon. I mix mine using alizarin crimson and lime green and white. All skin tones have some green in them and as red and green are complements they dull each other out. Then you get many different values by adding differing amounts of white. Learning how to mix those colors were in the fundamentals of the Beginner’s Painting Club.
Next we took what we learned there and learned how to create an abstract background. You could do this with just about any color combination or hair or skin tone. In the Beginner’s Painting Club I try to teach a method and then the students make them their own.
Even though the angels are faceless, they still have depth to the face and just the slightest outline of facial features. These are all done by using values of the flesh tones.
In the Beginner’s Painting Club we paint a more challenging painting one month and the next month we do something a little easier. These faceless angels had some of both because of the abstract background and trying to loosen up on the brush for the dress and the wings. Both the wings and the dress have many values in them to create the depth and fulness.
Learning to lighten up on the brush can be difficult to learn but it also makes this painting in particular so much fun to create.
The Beginner’s Painting Club is currently closed but you can get on the waiting list to be the first to know the next time it opens.
The Beginner’s Painting Club was created specifically for the beginning painter. In it you will learn:
- Fundamentals of Art
- Elements of Art
- Step by Step Painting Classes
You also get a private Facebook group where you can post your work, ask questions and encourage others in a safe environment. I go live in there on Monday mornings, 10 a.m. EST. The private Facebook group is worth the price of the membership because you have access to me as the teacher every single week.
Every single month members receive instruction on the three sections and they all dovetail into each other so they build on each other. I wish I had this 22years ago when I first started learning to paint. It would have knocked several years off my learning curve.
