The great Pablo Picasso showed us how to combine a number of different viewpoints and distil
complicated forms into simple geometry. We show you how to do the same in Painter

The
importance
of study
It’s a good idea before
you start this project to
take your time to study
Picasso’s work. Simply
Google search Picasso
and Cubism and you’ll
find a wealth of images.
Take your time to
study the shapes in the
paintings, and look at
the way he flattened
out perspective within
the head. It’s even
worth making a couple
of sketches from the
paintings to help you
understand better the
geometric devices he
often included again
and again.

Fun with
Picasso
If you feel like a little
Cubist fun before you
get down to the real
business of painting,
point your browser to
www.mrpicassohead.
com/create.html.
This is a Picasso
based, pick-and-mix
style Cubist exercise
where you can
make a face up from
common components
used in the great
man’s portraits. You
can choose each
component, scale and
position them, and
choose various fills.
Cubism doesn’t have to
be serious!

Multiple perspectives
Paul Cezanne explains that, “Everything in nature takes its form from the sphere, the cone
and the cylinder”. This was something that Picasso was very conscious of during his Cubist
experiments. The vital point to remember when dealing with Cubist imagery is the use of many
different points of perspective that are used in the depiction of a single object or scene. You
may find it useful to take photographs of your subject from many different angles, and then
take parts from each image to draw from. Your mind will try to introduce some perspective
as you draw, so it’s easier to start with very basic shapes. It’s all about distillation; reducing
complicated components to their very simplest geometric forms.

Paint
matters
Unusually for a tutorial
in Painter, you’ll
notice that we haven’t
mentioned much about
specific brushes or
painting techniques.
That’s because in terms
of Cubism, the way the
paint is applied is fairly
unimportant. Although
Impasto plays a big
role here, we don’t
need to concentrate
on blending colour and
careful tone modelling.
Add colour and build solidity in your painting

Creating unique artwork
The bedrock that the Cubist movement was built upon
was that, regardless of subject, the painting should
work in its own right as a piece of art. This depended
very much on pattern, shape and colour, which is why
the actual surface plane of a Cubist portrait plays such a
vital role in its success. It can be difficult for a figurative
artist to see in such abstract terms, but that’s exactly
what Picasso was doing here. First and foremost, the
shapes and colours in this portrait should please and
interest the viewer’s eye. As a result of this, every
now and then it’s worth flipping your painting by 180
degrees so you’re not distracted by your eye creating
a conventional portrait from the shapes. Picasso was
searching during these years for a release from the
accepted ways of expressing the world around him. Here
are the shapes from a famous Picasso portrait, showing
the decorative quality of the pure geometry.

Get used to rotating your artwork so you
can see it as shapes, rather than a face. Any
realism will ruin your Cubist quest!

On the
surface
Take your time to
experiment by using
different surfaces
to paint on for this
project. By carefully
selecting a different
paper from the Papers
Selector, you can make
the surface of the paint
look very different and
introduce lots of nice
textures. The Grain
value for the brush
itself plays a big role
here too, so experiment
with different settings
as you work.
Put the finishing touches to your Picasso painting

Monet’s
colours
You may like to mix the
colours you use from
Monet’s own palette
of colours. These are
available in a Painter
colour set. Hit the
small arrow at the
top right of the Color
Set’s palette. Choose
Open Color Set. From
the available colour
sets choose Artists’
Oil Colors. Click the
small arrow again
and choose Display
Name. Here is Monet’s
palette: Titanium
White, Cadmium
Yellow Light, Cadmium
Yellow, Viridian Green,
Emerald Green, French
Ultramarine, Cobalt
Blue, Alizarin Crimson
and Vermillion.
Mixing
colours
To mix colours from
the Monet palette,
in the Mixer palette
choose the Apply Color
brush. Now click the
appropriate colour
from the colour set
and brush a little onto
the Mixer Pad. Mix in
your next colour in
the same way. To mix
two colours placed
closely together, use
the Mix Color tool in
the Mixer palette.
To choose a colour
to paint with from
your mixed colours,
use the Sample Color
Eyedropper from
the Mixer.

Gathering
colours
If you’re not confident
about choosing your
colours from the
colour wheel or mixing
them, you can always
borrow the colours
from Monet himself.
Locate one of the
water lily paintings
on the internet and
open it in Painter. Hit
the small arrow in the
top right of the Color
Sets palette and then
choose New Color Set
From Image.

Colour
variability
The Color Variability
palette (Window>Show
Color Variability)
is vital when it
comes to recreating
Monet’s broken
colour technique. By
increasing the +-H
value in the palette,
each time you make a
stroke with the brush,
the colours applied
will automatically
flip either side of
the base colour you
choose, based on the
colour wheel.
Moving paint
around
To give areas of paint a
little more dynamism,
try using one of the
Blender variants. The
Coarse Oily Blender
is ideal for this. Set
the Opacity to 10%
and the Pull to around
50%. Now use this
brush at a fairly small
size to break up any
hard areas of paint.
Make sure to brush
‘out’ from any hard
edges to break them
up a little.

Dark to light
For this painting to
work properly and to
reflect the way Monet
himself worked, it’s
important that you
paint from dark to
light. Although it’s
tempting, make sure
that you leave the
absolute highlights
until the very end
of the process. It’s
also useful to place
all the lighter areas
on a separate layer
so that you can
adjust the lightness
via Effects>Tonal
Control>Equalize.

Rococo
colours
When you plan to paint
in the style of Rococo,
there are a few things
to keep in mind. The
overall look and feel of
the colours appears to
be bright and friendly,
sometimes with a lot
of fleshy tones to be
provocative, but never
too dark in style.
Figures are worked in
soft, bright, reddish
colours on a darker
background, which is
often enriched by dark
greens that keep the
painting from looking
too melancholy.

Balancing Rococo elements
Rococo contrasts the Industrial Revolution
with romantic Arcadian landscapes idealised
by painters of the time. Arcadia was a place
in ancient Greece, but the term was used in
the 18th Century to denote an idealised rural
setting. Most Rococo paintings are set in nature,
with romantic backgrounds. The only ornate
elements are statues, or dresses the figures wear.
Indoors, they rest on ornate furniture, and often
porcelain or books match the style, seen in these
pictures referenced from GothicBohemianStock.

In Rococo you won’t
usually find strong
shadows – they
wouldn’t match the
soft and bright
appearance of the
figures. Study Rococo
paintings by artists
such as Boucher
and Chardin to find
out what sort of
shadowing you
would like to apply
to your figures
and surroundings.
Rococo

Tutorial Paint like Rococo
Art Nouveau was
much influenced by
the ornamental style
and soft shadows of
Rococo. So when you
plan to paint a modern
version of a Rococo
painting, have a look
at and combine it
with elements of Art
Nouveau to find
new and interesting
ways for giving it a
modern touch!

Paint rich
cloth
Women pictured in
this period wore rich
dresses and wonderful
shoes on their little
feet. The dresses
and shoes are often
enriched with floral
designs, and the
colours are bright, rich
and happy. The unity of
the shoes and dresses,
as well as their hats,
almost creates a sort of
corporate identity – a
‘brand’ – as everything
the woman wears,
the whole styling, fits
together as though it
was meant to belong.

Sexuality
Rococo often pictures
and disguises sexual
motives in a naïve kind
of happiness. To apply
this to modern painting,
you need to look at the
subject in an innocent
way, so what you create
differs from what we
think of today as sexy or
dealing with sexuality.
For this setting, in
which things happen by
accident and the figures
aren’t shown in an
overtly sexual way, we
need to use suggestion
rather than be obvious.

Take a look at images
that show dresses
and interiors from
the Rococo period.
Since the dresses
were overly pretty
and detailed, this will
give you a good idea
of what’s possible
with your own rococo
paintings. Combine
these with pin-ups and
Art Nouveau graphics,
and you’ll have a lot of
ideas on how to work
on your own creations.
Visit the Wallace
Collection (www.
wallacecollection.
org), the world’s
most complete
collection of Rococo
art, architecture and
interior design.

Thinking of
the whole
When working in
this style, it’s a very
good idea to bear the
overall image in mind
at all times. It’s very
easy to get carried
away with detail and
forget that it’s actually
going to finish up as
a colour image. Try to
leave a fair amount
of space within the
image for a body
of colour, a sort of
‘yin-yang’ approach.
This will ensure a nice,
balanced image and
ultimately be more
pleasing to the eye.
Too much detail may
show off some great
techniques, but miss
the point the image is
there to convey. It’s
about balance.
Design your
image fi rst
It’s an important fact
that poorly designed
plans house poorly
executed paintings.
Ensure that enough
attention is paid
from the offset to the
composition of the
piece. Remember to
think about leading
the viewer’s eyes
through the image to
the centre of interest.
Good planning is a
must, as all elements
within an image must
harmonise with each
other – an orchestra is
only as good as each
individual musician.

Depth
of fi eld
A chaotic image with
no depth of field
will send viewers
elsewhere. Depth of
field (with line art)
can be obtained by
observing a couple
of very simple rules.
Use thin pen marks
in the background,
thick pen marks in
the foreground. It can
also be achieved by
keeping detail in the
background minimal
to the amount of detail
in the foreground.
Observing these
few simple rules
will improve your
work immensely.

Getting the unique Rackham look
%TGCVKPICHCGTKGYQTNF
Tutorial Paint like Rackham
Think like a
watercolourist
Arthur Rackham was
a watercolourist, so
we need to think like
that when we paint
images in this way.
Watercolour is a tricky
medium, so study a
book on the subject
or look at originals.
Rackham used paints
very loosely but was a
master at controlling
them. So loosen up,
don’t think too much
about application and
don’t over-detail your
images too much.

For this example the
scene was set in a
natural environment,
so the chosen colours
complemented each
other. The image has
been painted with
earthy tones. It’s best
to have some kind of
colour scheme in mind
before you begin. Of
course, many great
works of art do evolve
during the creative
process, but why leave
things to chance?
