I have a piece called "Held" by Miles Johnston. I'm looking for direction on how to frame it. It is a 39 x 45.5cm giclée printed on silver metallic-coated 100% cotton paper. I'm paralyzed with trying to get it just right. It's a very dark and grey picture, but I'm puzzled as to which type of frame, mat, and glass to use. Any suggestions?

Hi Gail, I've been thinking for a while now of re-arranging my pastel drawer into values for precisely the reason you give - to free me up to think about value rather than get too hung up over colour, particularly as I'm trying to move from representational/realistic to a more abstract style. However, I've got hundreds of pastel sticks collected over years (yup, it's a bit obsessional, see what I mean about my overly focussing on colour?), but I still think it worth doing. What do you think, should I attempt to classify them all into just three values, or maybe create a smaller set of sticks and just group those, maybe based on the colours you have in your box?

@kyliaeastwell1394 3 ай бұрын

Very thought-provoking, and I think it's largely down to personal taste, style and desired effect. I often do a blended underpainting to get the main tones and colours down, before building up detail (eg. fur on animals) with unblended marks. It also depends what texture I'm trying to convey, so for more bristly fur I might do unblended marks, but blend many of the tufts of fur in, say, a cat with long, silky-soft fur. Or, if I'm after vibrancy, a sense of movement or more gestural or abstract work, I might leave marks unblended. It's so exciting to have different options with this wonderfully expressive medium.

@@GailSibleyArtist hi Gail, great, no problem! I actually sent you a DM on Instagram about this but essentially what I mean is how to exaggerate/push/shift colour to advance from “copying” colour to “using” colour. I’m a big fan of Monet, JMW Turner and modern artists such as Mitchell Albala and Loriann Signori - they all seem to “use” colour to do something more than just successfully represent whatever they’re painting. I’ve actually seen a few interviews with Albala where he talks about this and he considers the subject to be almost incidental where the real subject is the colour/light. When I paint, I look at the colours in my reference (life or a picture) and I start to copy those colours. If I try shifting a colour to a new one, increasing saturation (even accounting for the change in value) or trying to throw in colours where they “aren’t” in my reference - it ends up a bit of a mess and never looking very good. Seeing how you got the greys here to pop and do so much more than your reference is exactly what I’m talking about. I think if you could talk about value, hue and saturation considerations when trying to shift/exaggerate/push colour to be more expressive, it would be super helpful.
