Composing a Narrative Self-portrait Painting (Pt. 1) | Demonstration by Melisa Calabria
Melisa Calabria is an Argentinian painter who focuses on self-portraits and storytelling.
Having studied with Ricardo Celma and Odd Nerdrum, she underlines the importance of causality in her narratives, imbued with a dreamlike atmosphere of yearning and melancholy.
During her second stay at the Nerdrum Studio, she demonstrates the importance of composition and explains her method as she starts a new painting.
In this demonstration you will learn about:
• Developing an idea from a composition sketch
• Applying thinly when transferring the sketch
• Adding color to the the face (the most important element)
• Being aware of differences in values
• Painting on the whole surface “at the same time“
• Increasing contrast and adding a darker background gradually
• The possibility of big changes
• Adjusting transitions to get a soft totality
• Toning down one thing to emphasize another
• The appropriate movement to the psychological state of the figure
