Traditional Art 1-0-1
Gallery Descriptions and Miscats Month
Hi, I’m NykolaiAleksander, I am the Traditional Art CV…
… and we need to talk.
Houston, we have a Problem!
As one of the most extensive galleries on DeviantArt, Traditional Art is a vast cosmos of categories, sub-categories, and even sub-sub-categories. Okay, maybe not vast, but you get the idea. All in all, it is quite spectacular to look at. However, the moment you step a little closer and try to unravel its mysteries, there are a few things that might cause you to scratch your head in confusion.
Confusion is never fun. We don't want that. We want a little clarity.
Therefore go grab a drink and sit back, so we can get this party started and shed some light on the good, the bad, and the ugly.


What is Traditional Art?
As surprising as this may sound, from my time going through the Traditional Art gallery it’s become clear to me that apparently it is not al

1 Landscape painting with 10 Watercolor techniques
Hello The title sounds interesting, right? And so should be also your watercolor landscape painting. There are many styles of painting from hyper realistic, semi realistic to abstract. Today I want to show you how to use 10 watercolor painting techniques to make your landscape more interesting. A fun side effect is, that it's even more fun for you to paint. I will take my own photo as a reference and won't worry too much about how realistic the painting will look like. It's all about pure creativity and having fun.I chose this particular photo because it has lots of green color and lots of foliage. If you ever painted such a landscape you know the outcome. A landscape painting that can easily turn into a green rectangular mess. Before I started to paint, I made a quick pencil drawing. Then it was time for me to decide which technique to use for what part of the painting. The easiest was to see what would be suitable for the plastic wrap technique and the masking fluid technique. For the other techniques I just picked the places more or less randomly.On the left side you can see my watercolor painting and on the right my reference photo. The number marks indicate the place where I used a certain watercolor painting technique.In this tutorial I won't go in detail how each individual painting technique is created, I will just try to show you, how you can also create an interesting looking landscape with watercolors.Let's begin with the first steps!Art materials I used:watercolor paper Fabriano watercolor studio 300g/m2 , 140lbswatercolor brush daVinci casaneo no.16, flat, daVinci Cosmotop-spin no.5, roundwatercolors White Nights no.215 Hanza Yellow, no. 727 Olive Green, no.725 Green, no. 408 Burnt Umber, no. 413 Sepia, no. 812 Payne's Greyalcohol, table salt, paper tissue, masking fluid Schmincke, kitchen plastic wrap1.) Wet on wet techniqueI started with the painting process by first wetting the first upper half of the watercolor paper with water. For this I just used a flat brush that was wet. Then I started to add different colors on the wetted area. The colors started to melt between each other and also into the area that was just wet on the paper. The first impression you get is mess...pure mess. But that's a good mess.A small tip: A wet watercolor painting will always look bad. That's why you shouldn't panic and no matter what stop the painting process. Wait for the painting to dry. When the watercolor paper gets dry, the colors always look lighter, smoother and more "dream like".Then I started to paint other areas like you would normally do (wet on dry). First layers are always light, then you can start to add darker colors. To keep some areas wet, I added lots of wet color. Another thing I did is hurry...like really hurry. It's one thing to do just one separate technique or 5 techniques at the same time to keep the painting color consistent and looking "together" without getting the sharp, transitioning edges in between them.I didn't think too much where something starts and something ends, but I more or less tried to capture the light areas and the dark ones, where something is green (foliage, trees) and where brown (rocks). I knew that the different techniques I will use, will do the job for me.2.) Plastic wrap techniqueA great technique that can be sometimes tricky to pull off. With me it's sometimes a hit, other times a miss. The darker colors you will use, the more the pattern will show. I used small pieces of the plastic wrap to make it more easier to spread on the paper. I left it on the paper for the whole time of the painting process. Only after it was completely dry, I have removed it. To add more drama to the texture, I have then painted some parts with brown color, to make them more darker.3.) Alcohol techniqueFirst I added some color and then added couple of droplets of alcohol. I think that I could maybe wait just a little bit more for the color to dry, because the alcohol droplets did "vanish" into the wet area a little bit. But it was still a good result.4.) Softening the edges techniqueIt's very simple and very useful for many occasions. For this landscape painting I added dark green and then cleared the brush off in a glass of water. Then I took away some excess water from the brush and when it was still wet, went around the edges of the green color to wet the area, to make the green color run into the wet paper area.5.) Salt techniqueIt's one of the most known and used technique in watercolor for creating special effects. The only problem is that most of the time you can't predict if it will work or not. The outcome depends on the color pigment, the dry/wet state of the color and on the salt. By salt I mean if it's wet or dry. I started to notice that because of the humidity in my room the salt likes to get wet and this isn't the best for a watercolor painting. That's why I sometimes end up with paper areas that never want to dry out where I put the salt on. So if this happens to you to, you know why. 6.) Paper tissue techniqueThis technique is most of the time shown in relation to cloud painting tutorials. But why just stick to clouds, right? You can use the paper tissue also to create interesting looking texture by lifting some parts of the colors. You just have to make sure to not be too late with it, otherwise the colors won't lift up anymore.7.) Lifting techniqueYes, there's also the lifting of colors technique with a wet brush. You have to pick the perfect time, to start to wet the area. The best is when the paper is still damp and the colors have a little bit of shine on them. Just make sure the brush isn't too wet either, so you won't get water droplets falling on the paper. You can always re-wet the brush and "paint" with it on the spot you want to remove the color. For the best outcome and to prevent any further running of color, use in between some paper tissue to collect the water on the paper. But do it gently. Just a little bit of pressing down and lifting up of the tissue. You can again repeat the process with the wet brush and the paper tissue.8.) Dry brush techniqueA very nice technique for creating light reflections on lakes or any water landscapes. I used it for the stone stairs. The brush needs to be more on the dry side, but still wet enough for the color to be transferred on the paper. You just gently glide with the brush on the surface of the paper, almost barely touch it. In my final painting this technique isn't visible anymore, since I decided to paint the stairs with some dark color afterwards. But I could have left it also that way.9.) Masking fluid techniqueWatercolors and masking fluid are best friends in watercolor paintings, so why not use it also in a landscape like this. The masking fluid can be added on the desired parts of the painting that you want to preserve. I could use it for highlights, but instead I used it for individual leafs. With that I made them look more 3D like and made them more stand out from the painting.10.) Splatter techniqueNot a must to use watercolor technique, but why not make the painting more loose looking, more artsy. You just make the colors more watery and splatter them with the brush around the areas you want the dots to appear. In case you want to avoid some areas, try to cover them with a piece of paper. We are done! We painted 1 watercolor landscape with 10 different watercolor painting techniques.Here's the final version of my watercolor landscape painting:You can use any kind of watercolor techniques you want in your painting. There are even more than those that I have just listed. Maybe you will use only one or two techniques or use more than five. It all depends on your style and what you like. But remember that using more watercolor techniques, doesn't mean that the quality of the painting will get better. Use the techniques wisely! Thank you for taking your time and going through my tutorial. If you have any additional questions or even some suggestions or tips, I would be very happy to hear from you....

How to paint a rose in watercolor
TEN STEPS.Bonjour!!This is my first time writing a tutorial! Wish me luck. This is mainly for the group @watercolorists wich is planning run some tutorials in a lot of areas every three months (if people join, of course). So if you want to share your skills in anything related to watercolors (how to paint, brands, paper, tehcnique, business, etc) you will be VERY welcome.If you're reading this, it means you somehow love roses or do have some interest in paintint it. Or you're a BIG curious, haha.Whatever. I'm here to show you one of my ways to paint roses.I love lists, so: There's a lot of roses types. Our category here will be a sweet modern garden rose. (The popular rose that looks like a rose in fact, haha.) If my memory is good enough, since the pic is old and had been on my phone from a long time, it is an hybrid tea rose from David Austin. Read more here. This is not a tutorial for an extremely realistic painting. It's more a impressionist-like rose. The far you see it, the colors join in your vision. It is simple so everyone can join, even if it is you first time painting watercolors.This is our model girl. No source, couldn't find the direct link. :(((IMPORTANT: How to draw a rose?The best thing to paint something is to know the structure of that something.Roses are shaped like cups. The stem of the rose is centered with the core, where there is that beautiful yellow.The petals are born like fish scales, one above the joint of the other two. They are NOT born exactly one above the other. (You can see it in the example. The three petals at the bottom.)The amount of petals vary a lot. If you put too many or too few petals, you will end up making a rose, whether you like it or not. hahaI'm writing this because: I didn't take pictures. But I plan, I plan... It would be very long for only a tutorial.Let's get started! You will need:Magenta.Cadmium Red Light.Sap Green.Quinacridone gold. (Or ochre, or indian, any powerfull not so opaque yellow you have)300g paper. (Cellulose or Cotton)Water and brush medium to fine.1. Pass a very thin layer of paint all over the rose. Very thin. Use the magenta or cadmium. Or another pink hue you have.Let it dry.Ignore the hare looking at you.IGNORE.2. Those are the colors, and other colors all messy in my palette. (i've tried a rose earlier, but it was not my better.)I know, this should be posted as the first.3. Now that it dried, take the brush and mix your two paints. Don't need it to be equally. Don't worry about the hues, we want it to be fun.But pay attention, don't put too much water.The brush must not be dry, but it must not be dripping.We need the paint with a stronger color here.Use your color in the shadows. No, it is not to you to paint in the corners of your bedroom. The shadows of the rose!Don't let it dry for the next step.4. Scumble from the inside out of the petals. Just the tips, not too much water. Let it dry for the next.5. Dilute your red into something transparent that barely remembers red anymore. It's almost salmon.6. Use that pale red in the most light petals and the tiny petals in the core. PLEASE, don't cover everything. Only in the tips of the petals.Let it dry for the next.7-8. Use a light yellow, with a bit of water, to spread it into the rose, this is up to you how much you want it. Even if you don't want it at all. Skip this step.But I love it. It gives some warmth to the piece.Also, this is not in the picture, but I spread the yellowish for the left bottom petal. You can see it in the next.Let it dry for the next.9. This red/purple color is the darkest part of the rose. Attention to not drop it in the core. The core needs to be vibrant. ^^ <3You can use another tone of red and not use violet if you want it.Also, you can use sepia, or dark blue.Roses are incredible because you can use a lot of colors.The true is, you can use a lot of colors whenever and wherever you want since you know how to deal with values. :dBut this is for another tutorial. (I'm not the expert in values neither lol)Don't let it dry to next step.9.1. Repeat the step number 4.In the darkest areas, let the paint dense.If you need it, put more dark paint to it, but don't get too much.Can you see the dicotomy? The warmth on the left, the cold in the right.10. OH NO ARE WE OVER?YESSSS, this is our rose.Pro tip: put some green on the petals too! It gets cool. This is watercolor, let it blur and put a lot of tiny little watercolor marks on it. ^^I know, the photograph is not so fair with the colors actually, but the scan is. :PWe end our tutorial here. Any questions, just leave a comment. I love to explain stuff, really.Next time we will paint an Old Garden Rose together. They're different, they're awesome! Fluffy petals, cabbage-like flowers that I LOVE with my very soul.Bye bye. <3...

Mountain and Water: History of Landscape Painting
Landscape and Scenery Week
Very few people know I paint (mostly because I don't have the space to set up an easel anywhere) but when it comes to painting, the only thing I like (and perhaps the only thing I am good for) is landscape. As such, landscape paintings have a special place in my heart. We see the world around us and it's only natural to want to record it down for others to see - whether out of the sheer sense of awe of the world that we live in or because of practical reasons such as navigation without getting lost, we have come a long way when it comes to landscape paintings. So, let us take a walk down the long path that is landscape painting. 

Just in case you were wondering... there's a reason why my paintings don't make it in my gallery... ^^;
Prehistoric History 
It's hard to say what really constitutes as the earliest examples of "landscape" painting. The prehistoric cave paintings depict

Paper:

The most important choice you can make in watercolor is your paper. While it's possible to make good paintings with student-grade brushes and paint, never skimp on paper if you can avoid it. My two favorite paper brands are Fabriano and Arches, both of which come in a variety of

Watercolour portrait: step by step walkthrough
Community Week
Hi! I'm Luciferys and I'm going to show you a step by step of how I work with watercolors.
Art supplies: 

Not pictured here, but I also used a jar of water and a paper towel.
Step 1:
I chose 300 gsm hot pressed watercolor paper and I cut the paper in half (this making it A4 in size).
I taped the paper to a hard surface (this will keep the paper in place and also preserve a white border) and started sketching. I usually try to keep the sketch simple. 
 
References:

Step 2:
I covered the edges of the character with masking liquid using a silicone brush (it's easy to clean and it doesn't get ruined by the masking liquid). Masking liquid can be used to protect certain areas of the paper from watercolor. Be sure not to shake the bottle as it creates clumps in the li

Autumn watercolor TUTORIAL (easy sponge technique)
Trad Art: Tools of Your Trade Week
Hello everyone, I am happy to be able to post another article as part of projecteducates Traditional art week. Today's painting is inspired by autumn, its coloring and tutorial will present an easy technique, very suitable for beginners and those, that want to just relax and play around with color - in my opinion. I hope you'll enjoy!
____
Let's go over the materials. The list is pretty simple, you'll need a watercolor paper (I prefer 100% cotton paper for this technique, but make your paper at least 300 gsm, so that it can withstand a lot of water and layering), watercolor paints either in tubes or pans, watercolor brush (it should be soft enough and hold enough water), masking tape (important!), paper towels (also important, in watercolor technique paper towel often saves the painting from ending up in trash), water in a jar and a sea sponge. You can try any kind of sponge, but see what kind of texture it creates first,

An introduction to scratchboard
Trad art week: Tools of your trade
Hello and welcome to the first article in projecteducate's Traditional art: Tools of your trade week! I'm BeckyKidus, and I'm here to tell you about one of the more unusual traditional art tools: namely scratchboard, also known as scraperboard.
What is scratchboard?
Many of you might not have heard about this medium before. So, what exactly is this medium? To quote wikipedia:
is a form of direct engraving where the artist scratches off dark ink to reveal a white or colored layer beneath. Scratchboard refers to both a fine-art medium, and an illustrative technique using sharp knives and tools for engraving into a thin layer of white China clay that is coated with dark, often black India ink. There is also foil paper covered with black ink that, when scratched, exposes the shiny surface beneath.
Very easily explained you have a layer of white China clay or foil paper cove

No Undo Button
Traditional Art: Tools of Your Trade
Traditional art has no undo button. In this article, I will share a couple of techniques that can help you gain control. These tricks can be used in any traditional media, but all my examples in this article will feature watercolors.
Sketching
If you are planning a complex painting with plenty of detail, you probably make a sketch first, and then you need to transfer it on paper or canvas (or any surface of choice). Sketching on a separate piece of paper has many advantages: you can explore different options, play with the composition or draw guides that should not be visible on the final piece. You can produce multiple small sketches on scraps of paper without wasting time and expensive watercolor paper or canvas.
Here are some tutorials that go in-depth on sketching and thumbnailing:

Mixing Soft Pastels and Oils
Trad Art: Tools of your Trade Week
I love inks. I also love oils. And it’s always irked me that it’s near impossible to achieve an inky look with oils. Oil paint, when mixed with medium like Mineral Spirit or Turpentine, runs, but not like ink would. It bleeds, much like a wet on wet approach with ink does. Just worse.
In the past few years I've made several attempts at getting this elusive inky oil look, but nothing really panned out. Then, not too long ago, I was in one of those moods where I wanted to try again after I had had an idea that I was pretty sure could actually work...

It's not exactly like ink, no. But it also does not look like bleeding oils. And that made me happy.
Soft Pastels and Oil Paints

Portrait sketching practices
People & Portraits Week
Hello everyone and welcome to my entry for People & Portraits week here at projecteducate. I was tempted to include a watercolor tutorial (my usual stuff), but instead I opted for something more challenging, hoping this might be helpful to starting artists in particular :)
This article will be about the best portrait sketching practices for a starting artist. As a painter, I fell into a trap of spending twenty hours of painting to one hour of drawing and this cost me a lot. Painting is fun for me, moving water across the paper, playing with pigments, detailing with tiny brushes for ages is a great way to relieve stress. Drawing, on the other hand, demands more focus, thinking and planning, there is a great deal of technicalities that often makes me want to put it off to a time when I have full energy available. 
However, the importance of being a skilled drawer is undeniable, even when your main focus is painting.

Traditional collage tutorial
People & Portraits Week
Hello everyone!
I'm an architect and a self-taught artist from Poland. Ever since I can remember I loved to draw and paint. As a teenager I started experimenting with collage as an art form. Now I have my own style and making collages is my way of communicating with the world and expressing my emotions. I'm really glad to have the opportunity to share my knowledge with others because I get a lot of questions about my creating process. Many people ask me how I achieve digital looking art with traditional methods, so today I'd like to show you my way of doing traditional collages.
What I want you to remember is that there's no one right way to make a collage. I see collage as a very spontaneous art form which is based on imperfections and accidents. Working intuitively and mixing different techniques and elements is the best part of the whole process. The only thing that limits you is your imagination so don't be afraid to experiment a

Please carefully read this journal for all the info you need Before getting into the new challenge, I do want to thank everyone who participated, even just for 1 day, in the August challenge: @BlackCloverCreations ; @Pixlhaufen ; @Mouselemur ; @arttrails342 ; @iRPs ; @Triplechoc ; @Subhojit2du ; @Markotxe ; @sufiyan10 ; @SIUCAR ; @psto1464 ; @MeinFragezeichen ; @CapnDeek373 ; @balanuts ; @EYproductions ; @Virgoferra ; @Ejderha-Arts ; @ChimeraDragonfang ; @MaggotsX ; @wolfwoofa ; @MysticSparkleWings ; @PencilframeArt ; @ceystel ; @teddybearcholla ; @Long-Bird ; @dherss ; @furyfyting ; @TheKikkaKibaz ; @ECCpizzacats ; @Lumenox ; @Thystyn ; @DangerouslySlowCat ; @Phodorizi ; @Kloubtz ; @Lotus105 ; @organicvision ; @DerBlaueArtist ; @sirelmy ; @ARTSYAISH ; @BrightsWanderings Kudos to all of you! If you wanna see some highlights and the winners of August's monthly challenge, check out this journal., The ConceptThere are 30 days in the month of November. For this challenge, you are presented with 30 themes: one for every day. The idea is for you to create a piece of art (in any artistic medium of your choice) each day that fits with the theme of that day. However, you do not HAVE to create a piece of art for every single day/theme to partake in the challenge! This is further explained in the prizing section of the journal. You can pick as many or as little days as you want to participate. , The RulesALL ART MUST BE NEW: You must create, post and submit your entry on the same day of the theme it corresponds to. So, on November 1st you would create, post and submit an entry for Theme 1 of this challenge. Following this example: you cannot submit your entry for Theme 1 on November 2nd! That's too late.To submit your entry, leave a comment on this journal with: 1) the name of the theme 2) a link to your entry(yes, this means if you enter the challenge every day, you'll be commenting 30 times on this journal) Your entries must be submitted onto DeviantArt, they cannot be in your sta.sh. The description of your entry (description of the deviation which you fill in when submitting it onto DeviantArt) must include a link to this journal, stating your deviation is an entry to this challenge. Some guidelines...A daily challenge is...well, challenging. I know that, and that's what I'm posting this journal early. You shouldn't begin working on your entries now - that's not fair to other players who will follow the rules. However, you can begin planning in your head, putting together ideas, preparing materials, etc so that you'll be faster on the day of each theme.I don't think it'd be fair for me to say this challenge works on one specific time zone to assess whether someone posted their entry on time. As such, I will try my best to take into account time zones when checking whether someone submitted on time for a day's challenge. If your country isn't listed on your profile page, though, I won't be able to extend this courtesy., The PrizesTo make sure everyone feels incentivised to partake in this challenge, prizing will be random. You have just as much of a chance to win a prize as anyone else....depending on how many entries you submit! I will be counting the amount of entries in total, meaning it doesn't need to be X amount of consecutive days. A random person who submitted an entry for 26 to 30 days will receive a one-year core+ membership OR the equivalent in pointsA random person who submitted an entry for 16 to 25 days will receive 3,000 points A random person who submitted an entry for 6 to 15 days will receive 1 month core+ and 500 points A random person who submitted an entry for 1 to 5 days will receive 250 pointsA random person who submitted at least 1 literature entry will receive 100 points from @MysticSparkleWings You might be thinking...so it's all about quantity, not quality??? Think again!,To encourage everyone to submit well thought-out and high quality entries (as much as it's possible for a challenge like this), I'll be offering $20 via PayPal to a participant that submitted multiple well executed entries., The Challenge,So, as you can see, there are a few differences from the last challenge! Here is an explanation of what you might be wondering about:DOUBLE POINTS: If you submit an entry for this day, it counts as 2 entries!EXTRA CREDIT: You can submit 2 entries for this day, which will of course also count as 2 entries DAY 11: YOU DECIDE - You still have to create and submit your art on the same day here, but you can pick a theme of your choice!DAY 15: For those who might not know, Squid Game is a Korean TV show that came out this year and became Netflix's most popular shows of all timeDAY 28: For this day, you choose a theme yourself but it must start with the letter N (for example: nostalgia, naked, narcissism, etc)Good Luck!

Will there be a new "Traditional Threes" contest? (Since the green/envy/oils theme has ended.)

Probably not. These contests are hosted by kind CVs who can spare some time for these. Sadly, the host of those contests retired and until another CV takes over this, the contests  are not going to continue. :(
