Spinosaurus at Waters Edge | Behind the Art
James Gurney 2023-09-10 | James Gurney demonstrates the step-by-step process of painting two restorations of the dinosaur Spinosaurus under the direction of Dr. Paul Sereno of the University of Chicago. Dr. Sereno's scientific paper in Nature Magazine is called "Spinosaurus is Not an Aquatic Dinosaur." Sereno's team developed a CT-based skeletal restoration of Spinosaurus and examined its hydrodynamic properties. They found that the digital model of Spinosaurus performed very poorly in water, supporting the alternative "semi-aquatic hypothesis." In an interview, Sereno said, "I don't think it was a good swimmer nor capable of full submergence behavior." Coauthors include Donald M. Henderson, Daniel Vidal, Frank E. Fish, Stephanie L.

Paint First, Then Draw — Quirky Gouache Technique
James Gurney 2023-05-03 | James Gurney reverses the normal procedure in this plein-air painting of a dairy barn. Instead of painting over a careful preliminary drawing, he starts loose with a brush, and later changes his mind about the color of the barn. He draws on top of dry gouache with fountain pen, pencil, gel pen, and chalk. LOCATION: Billings Farm and Museum in Woodstock VT: billingsfarm.org MATERIALS • M.

Paint Opaquely Over a Red Priming
James Gurney 2022-06-18 | Red is the opposite of green, painting a scene with a lot of green, you can paint over a reddish or pinkish priming. The little bits of remaining red will perk up the greens and blues. This strategy works with any opaque medium (gouache, casein, acrylic or oil). I'll demo how a red casein priming adds spice and energy to the greenery and sky colors of this gouache study. The plein-air painting shows a Kenworth cement mixer parked near the Hannaford supermarket in Kingston, New York. Big Jim Mushett, the cart guy, makes an appearance, and Smooth stays cool in the shade.

Painting Skunk Cabbage in Gouache
James Gurney 2022-05-12 | James Gurney visits a mosquito-infested swamp to paint skunk cabbage. He first primes the watercolor paper with an abstract priming color in casein. Using a large flat brush he cuts in the dark background shapes to define the leaves. Finally he switches to small round and rigger brushes to paint the veins on the leaves. Gurney washes the mud off his painting companion Smooth and cleans up his brushes.

What Did the Future Look Like When This Biplane Was New?
James Gurney 2022-03-21 | James Gurney sketches a 1929 New Standard biplane at the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome using casein paint, with the help of a sight-size grid, and a home-made easel. He considers how people imagined the future when that airplane was new and how close their predictions actually turned out to be.

5 PROBLEMS WITH GOUACHE | And How to Solve Them
James Gurney 2022-02-18 | The full 93 minute tutorial video is available from Gumroad: gurneyjourney.gumroad.com/l/gouacheprobs Gouache presents at least five difficulties: it freezes, it dries fast, it reactivates, it looks chalky, and it shifts values when it dries.

How to Make a Bobble Head Dog

There are basically two types of bobble head designs: 1) Head on a loose, bouncy spring, which works for upright human characters. 2) Head on a counterweight, which works best for animals. With type 2, the trick is to make the head light enough to balance against the lead weight, so I used craft foam for the head. You also have to sculpt the hollow body with enough space for the counterweight to swing freely up and down and side to side.

Painting Autumn Leaves | Shakespeare Sonnet #73
James Gurney 2021-10-25 | James Gurney paints autumn leaves using gouache or opaque watercolors. He also shares Shakespeare's famous sonnet #73: "That time of year thou mayst in me behold When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang Upon those boughs which shake against the cold, Bare ruin'd choirs, where late the sweet birds sang. In me thou see'st the twilight of such day As after sunset fadeth in the west, Which by and by black night doth take away, Death's second self, that seals up all in rest. In me thou see'st the glowing of such fire That on the ashes of his youth doth lie, As the death-bed whereon it must expire, Consum'd with that which it was nourish'd by. This thou perceiv'st, which makes thy love more strong, To love that well which thou must leave ere long."

Sacrificing Detail for a Moody Light Effect
James Gurney 2021-10-14 | James Gurney paints a street scene in Greenport, Long Island in the morning light. His goal is to capture a fleeing light effect by using a warm priming color, "photographic" lens flares, and a glaze that reduces or sacrifices detail. Because he's painting in gouache and watercolor over a casein priming, the glaze is risky because gouache reactivates when it's rewet. THEORY OF SACRIFICES “Nature instills sentiments in the spectator through the selective sacrifice of details in order to improve the overall effect.” --George Barret, The Theory and Practice of Water Colour Painting: Elucidated in a Series of Letters “Painters without experience often weaken the effect they wish to produce by a prodigality which multiplies uselessly the figures and accessories of a picture. It will not be long before they learn that, the greater the conciseness and simplicity with which a thought is interpreted, the more it gains in expressive force.” —Jules Breton, The Life of an Artist, An Autobiography GOUACHE, WATERCOLOR, and CASEIN PAINT Zinc White: amzn.to/3DJHmDF Azo yellow: amzn.to/3AomPDn Pyrrol Red: amzn.to/2XdPcS7 Transparent Orange Iron Oxide: amzn.to/3lHghLn Ultramarine blue: amzn.to/2Sm4FyB Prussian blue: amzn.to/2JVbVwb Sepia: amzn.to/2X7Ulgs Richeson casein set: amzn.to/2Huk4u3 OTHER MATERIALS Pentalic watercolor sketchbook: amzn.to/2L989y2 Water cup: amzn.to/2soTw2L Homemade sketch easel: gurneyjourney.gumroad.com/l/sketcheasel Rigger brush (synthetic #3) amzn.to/3AJoW4i Richeson travel brush set: amzn.to/2xwq1Rr Richeson “Grey Matters” brush set: amzn.to/2YeNO0P Water cup: amzn.to/2soTw2L CAMERAS and AUDIO Pocket camera (Canon SX620): amzn.to/3lIbtVW Mirrorless camera (Canon M6): amzn.to/3BJIjeU Stereo mics/recorders (Rode Wireless Go II): amzn.to/3mVsMSP Stereo recorder (Zoom H2n): amzn.to/3aFjCUP Tripod: amzn.to/2xrRaFc VIDEO TUTORIALS: “How to Make a Sketch Easel” (DVD and download options): jamesgurney.com/products/how-to-make-a-sketch-easel "Gouache in the Wild" : jamesgurney.com/products/gouache-in-the-wild "Casein Painting in the Wild": jamesgurney.com/products/casein-painting-in-the-wild "GRADIENTS: Color, Form, Illusion." jamesgurney.com/products/gradients-color-form-illusion BOOKS BY JAMES GURNEY: Color and Light: A Guide for Realist Painters: jamesgurney.com/products/color-and-light-a-guide-for-the-realist-painter-signed-by-james-gurney Imaginative Realism: How to Paint What Doesn’t Exist: jamesgurney.com/products/imaginative-realism-how-to-paint-what-doesnt-exist Dinotopia: A Land Apart from Time: jamesgurney.com/products/dinotopia-a-land-apart-from-time-signed OTHER OFFICIAL SITES Instagram: instagram.com/jamesgurneyart Pinterest: pinterest.com/GurneyJourney GurneyJourney Blog: http://gurneyjourney.blogspot.com JamesGurney Website: http://jamesgurney.com Facebook group "Sketch Easel Builders": facebook.com/groups/403006076777641 Facebook group "Color in Practice": facebook.com/groups/160510955315435 Some of the links above are affiliate links, for which I make a small commission at no cost to you.
