This week we looked at some paintings by Otto Dix (a 1930s German painter) and had to copy one onto the face of our partner. To do this we used our supracolour palettes, which is a heavy grease-based product that blends very easily. We were to layer up the colours we chose and to avoid smudging it with our fingers.
We were told to choose a particular painting and focus on the layers of colour that we could see within it. During the task we were to think about the depth of the skin, what is built up from it and the different colours and their positioning on the face. Tones, highlighting and shading was to be focused on, and so was the build up of colour.
Equipment used:
- Supracolour palette
- Make-up brushes
- Make-up sponges
Evaluation:
This task was very different to what we had been shown recently and was interesting to try. I did art for my A levels and I enjoyed abstract painting then so it was nice to go back to that and try something different to the make-up techniques that we usually learn.
