Self Portrait Process Work

2010-04-16T15:33:00.002-04:00

1 - After transferring my final sketch to a stretched 140lb watercolor paper, I start with a light wash of what will be the lightest tones on my face, usually a light Yellow Ocher. For a basic skin tone, I used a mixture of Burnt Sienna, Yellow Ocher and either Cadmium Red or Perylene Maroon, depending on the tonality of the model. You can also see some blues and greens, setting up the reflected light and the undertone for the 5 o'clock shadow. Let it dry completely.

2- Step two, develop further the same concept of step one; Aways keep in mind the light source, reflected light and think of what is underneath the part of the face you are painting - cheeks are usually fleshy and warmer in color. Same with extremities, such as ears and nose, having more blood. Once you have reached a good overall mid tone on the figure, lay down a layer of background color - that will give you a good idea of how much darker do you need to go with the foreground. Let it dry.

3 - Start detailing the smaller and more important parts of the figure, such as eyes, eyebrows, nose and ears. Remember that the white part of your eye ball is NOT really white!! Work the background to the point where it is coherent with the figure

4 - I usually wait and finish the hair in the very last step, especially if it is the darkest thing in the painting. Before that, add any additional washes of skin tones, evening out reflected light, and darkening any mid tones that got lightened up by darkening the background. Add the shadows on forehead under the hair and on neck under jaw line. Last but not least, using white acrylic or gesso, hit some highlights on the eyes. Done!

Remember that there are so many different skin tones and so many other colors and lights are reflected from it. Don't fall for the Yellow + Red + Blue = skin tone mixture!!

Here are another STEP-BY-STEP (oohh, babe) process for the recent paintings for Lazy Moon - which are on display AND are for sale, right now)

Lazy Moon Sports Commission

2010-03-06T21:16:00.002-05:00

I just finished a 7 piece commission job for a Sports Bar located here in Orlando, FL called Lazy Moon.
Matt, the owner, had the idea of doing a series of portraits of sports legends, with a little twist - they're also known for their "bad boy" image inside and outside the court, field, ring, or wherever they play. Mike Tyson, Maradona, Wilt Chamberlain, John McEnroe are some of them...
All seven pieces are hanging right now at Lazy Moon (near UCF) and will be in display for 2 months. They are done in Watercolor, 22x28 inches. All available for sale. Prints coming soon.

So, please, stop by, have a beer and check out some cool art!

Sports Bar Commission

2010-02-12T13:49:00.001-05:00

I have been asked to produce a series of 7 portraits of famous (and sometimes BAD) athletes for a Orlando Sports Bar called LAZY MOON. Ranging from Hockey stars to Boxing legends, the paintings will be available for sale and they should be up by the beginning of March. Here's peek at one of them - IN PROGRESS!!

"Portrait of Ms. Bruni" - Watercolor on Arches paper 140lb

Portrait of Ms. Bruni

2009-12-29T16:31:00.000-05:00

Here is the step by step of Amy's portrait. It's about 11x15 inches on Arches 140lb. This is another case of a portrait done with photos that were not taken by me and not meant to be used for this particular painting, even though they were furnished by Ms. Bruni herself.

On this particular portrait, you can see how I have changed my mind about her hair on top of her right shoulder, going from very stylized to a more organic feel.

Amy Bruni - Sketch/Study for commission portrait

2009-12-04T22:42:00.001-05:00

When doing a commission piece, I like to do a loose sketch/study of my subjects before anything else - before thinking about lighting, composition, size, etc. I need it to be fresh, easy and almost caricature like. It helps me to get familiar with the subject's facial structure, specially when I'm working with a limited number of reference pictures.

This is the Study/Sketch for Amy Bruni's portrait that I'll be doing soon.

Portrait of Matt Butcher

2009-08-18T09:44:00.006-04:00

This is pretty straight forward, just a portrait of Matt. As I taking the reference pictures, he mentioned that he liked his shades and I think it is one of the the coolest things on this painting - just how dark they are, but still showing some transparency.

ART SHO was a big success!

2009-08-11T12:03:00.006-04:00

Last Friday I had the pleasure to be part of the 2009 SHO Foundation Art show in Winter Park, Florida. The "Simply Helping Others" Foundation and Brook Pifer put together a great event, helping the Arts and the Orlando area kids that will be affected by the huge budget cuts in education this year.

Here's Isabelle Ribeiro and I.

Latest painting. This was fun and a little more challenging than previous paintings. I still have to scan it, since this picture makes the colors a little off. This is painting number five out of six that I want to show in October.

Jess was really excited to get this painting done and I hope she likes it. I have a few more shots of her that would make a good painting, so you might see more...

This was one of the first paintings I did when I started actually going for a more painterly approach with my watercolor figurative/portrait work, August 2008. Back then, I received an email via Flickr, short after posting it on line, from a casting agent lady in California saying she had forwarded my artwork to Christina Ricci's Agent because she thought it was so well done and that Ms. Ricci would like it too. Unfortunately I never heard back from them. The original painting was sold late last year. I regret selling it.

A Basic Palette

2009-06-12T10:01:00.005-04:00

I few postings ago, I mentioned how important it is to keep you palette limited and to actually master what colors can you get with them without worrying so much about pigment names and more technical terminology. I'm posting now a link, that was circulating on Twitter, which I thought was well written and goes much deeper into the more theoretical part of setting up a beginner's watercolor palette.

Portrait of Roxy Balboa

Originally uploaded by Plinio M Pinto

This is the finished painting of Roxy Balboa. As I wrote before, she is a Muay Thai US Women's Lightweight Champion 2008 & 2009 and personal trainer based in LA. I actually never met her personally, only through the internet, but she was nice enough to let me use this painting for an upcoming artshow in October here in Orlando. After going over some personal photos with Roxy, we decided this pose worked the best, and that we needed to incorporate her signature skirt and the black and red wraps on her hands - the way she usually wraps for training. The process was a lot like working with an art director when I do editorial work, minus the back and forth sketches - which is great. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to go to CA to meet her and take the reference photos myself. Maybe next time.

Here's the step-by-step

6steps_process

Originally uploaded by Plinio M Pinto

I usually don't sketch much before painting. I usually work from reference pictures - not just one, but at least 3 different ones - and the sketch process takes place using Photoshop. After transfered to paper, usually cold press 140lb, streched on gatorboard, I start with thin washes, most of the time background first. I do it wet on wet in a way that I will lightly bleed it into the figure, to get some of the color scheme as reflected light/shadow. I try to use the first washes as my highlight hue on the figure as well.

Since I also don't usually use, or do a color study, I got to make sure I know exactly what my limited palette can produce - 10 to 13 colors palette divided in Basic transparents, Basic staining, 4 reds, 2 yellows 3 browns, 3 blues and Payne's Gray. Don't worry so much with correct pigment names or formula. Just make sure you always place it in the same position on the palette and learn what to get out of them.

When doing skin tones there is no formula (HATE when people say: Is just a little bit of red+yellow and some blue: thats why your painting sucks) Skin tone is hard and a lot of time goes into getting it right. Study Frank Frazetta's work.

Once I get my background about mid tone, it is time to start on the foreground. When doing the figure it's important to add thin transparent layers and wait for it to try completely before adding the next. I work on getting the torso about mid tone first and worry about the head last. Since the head is the focus point, I want it to have the highest contrast - and that's why painting brunettes is way easier, folks!

Contrast is what makes or breaks a painting. Once you reach mid tone just about everywhere in the piece, it's time to rework the background with dark tones, detail the head making sure skin tones are matching throughout the painting and that the light source is even as well.

The final step is to add highlights. I dont like using masking too much so I use gouache or gesso (very little, please!). I also do a lot of lifting which gives a nice texture - and that is why is important to use good quality paper.
