Object Study
Man has created several objects which we use in everyday life to satisfy our needs. Of all these, certain objects such as books, boxes, utensils are easily available.
The art involved in painting such objects, as they look, is known as Object-Study. It is advised that the learner should repeatedly draw the pictures of the objects in which he is interested.
Objectives
After studying and practicing this lesson, the learner will be able to:-
- learn about the perspective of the objects.
- discriminate between shadow and light.
- show the measurement of the shape of the objects and its proportion distinctly.
- use the colours appropriately in the painting.
A student should have the following things for an object study.
- A drawing board or hand board.
- Drawing paper (cartridge paper).
- Drawing pin.
- Pencil (HB, 2B, 4B, 6B).
- Eraser.
- Colours.
- Brush.
- Colour mixing pallete.
Several other things such as a book, box, pots, fruits and other household goods are needed for making a model.
Perspective
What is perspective? To the viewer (artist) every piece of the object set in serial order appears to be reduced in size as it goes to distant position as has been shown in Fig. When a number of objects, like bottle or box of same size are put in a line they appear to be meeting at some point.
Similarly, the rule of the perspective is applicable to every object which we draw irrespective of its shape or size.
Light and Shade
This shadow and light is expressed by tone. They are of three types: (i) bright as light (ii) medium light (iii) deep shadow. The effect of light and shade is different on square and round object. A square object is plane. As a result, the light or shadow on each plane side is in square form. On square object, light and shade is marked sharply, on the contrary on round object, tone merges gradually from-dark to light.
See figure No. 2. We, therefore, can paint any object very well after we have seen the object in reality.
Different tones of light and shade can be shown by pencil. Better to use HB, 2B, 4B, 6B pencils. Shade can be shown by either more or less pressure on pencil. This will ensure different tones.
Measurement and Proportion
If you have to measure length or breadth, hold the pencil in a horizontally but straight position and bring to the left side of the object. Now, move the thumb to the right side and reach out to the right edge of the object. Now, to scale (measure) the height of the object, place the pencil at the upper edge of the object and bring the thumb to the lower edge. Now, mark the measurement on the paper. You can, now,
project the length, breadth and height either twice or thrice or as per the size of the paper and complete the figure as per the measurement. (see fig).
Colour Scheme and Using Colours
A student should use water colours to begin his exercise of painting. Paintings look lively and real after the use of colour. There are various tones of the colour in the shadow and light. The lighted portion looks bright and the shadowed portion looks darker. The red colour gives impression of orange shade, dark red or grey red. Blue colour becomes sky blue, dark etc. in the shadow, likewise the green colour turns into dark green and parrot green due to the effect of light and shade. Various other colours and tones can be achieved by mixing these colours. Light colours should be used to let the object look bright. Dark and foggy colours should be used to show distance and shade. Figshows such combinations.
