Week 2- Otto Dix painting

Otto Dix Painting

Supra colours are greased based

When prepping the skin don't over moisturise as it can be to greasy

Use flat dense make up brushes rather than fluffy ones 

Avoid using fingers as it can leave prints and take off colour on the face

Unlike the aqua colours, you cannot layer with supracolour

Layering will lead to discolouration of the colours

When painting on the face in Otto Dix style avoid too much blending

Think more about colour placement, different thickness and brush marks to create texture

Products used: Supra colour palette

When practising this with one of Otto Dix paintings it was getting the shadows and tones right on the human face. Creating a painting on the face was interesting to do by taking a 2D aspect and creating on the face. I stippled supra colours on top of each other to add highlights and tones.
