Painting with MilanC. part 14: Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Just like always, here are the main phases of my painting process:
01. Preparation phase;
02. Sketch phase;
03. Painting phase.
I Preparation phase:
For my next idea, I thought of painting Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, a famous German polymath. The original source is the painting painted by Joseph Karl Stieler:
For this painting, I’ll be using pencils and crayons on Blok 5 (A5 format paper). I also used crayons, wooden colors and some pencils. For colors, I was using a combination of black, gray, yellow, orange, red and brown.
II Sketch phase:
In this phase, I'll draw a sketch for the painting, nothing special. After drawing the sketch, we’ll end up with something like this:
III Painting phase:
For the last phase, I first started by painting the table on the bottom left, before painting the main body. I didn't really have trouble painting the body, however I accidentally damaged the paper a bit. This made it difficult for painting his hand. I really enjoyed painting the paper he was holding, because I had to also write what could be seen on the original paper. After some time, we'll get something like this:
The last thing I painted was the background. It was overall pretty easy and I didn't have trouble painting the background. Overall, I'm really happy with a result:
If you have other painting suggestions, let me know down below. I hope you enjoy this one.
