ティファニー・マン came to us LIVE from the USA on Friday, February 3rd to share her gouache techniques and favorite color palette.
Here’s a quick Q&A with Tiffanie:
なぜ絵を描くのですか？
I make art because without it, I feel like I would shrivel up. It is very much a part of me. It’s the main way I can express myself, my passions, and my emotions.
絵を描き始めてどのくらいになりますか？
I have been painting since I was 6 years old. I started taking art lessons around that time and continued to do so up until college. My first ever plein air painting class was during my freshman year of college. After that, I fell in love with going outdoors to paint!
正式な美術教育を受けましたか？
I did go to a local art school from ages 6-17, but I never had super strict atelier training. I only learned to copy master paintings, never to invent. I largely taught myself how to work with gouache and digital painting just by practicing a lot myself, plus some guidance from mentors.
プロのアーティストですか、それとも趣味でやっていますか？
I am a working artist, both in fine arts and the animation industry. I work at Marvel Studios during the day, and paint for shows and personal events outside of that. I also teach and run my own digital and gouache painting mentorships.
誰があなたにインスピレーションを与えますか？
I largely look at fine artists from the past for inspiration. I have too many favorites to name, but I love Edward Seago, Nicolai Fechin, William Ritschell, Winslow Homer, Andrew Wyeth, and so many more!
絵を描いているときは、どんな音楽を聴きますか？
It always varies – sometimes I listen to podcasts or classical music, and sometimes indie electronic. It depends on my mood and what stage my painting is in.
メンターはいらっしゃいますか？
Mike Hernandez helped me get into gouache and I look up to him as one of the best gouache painters out there. Quang Ho is an inspiration as well. My other friend and mentor Corey Peters, is the person I go to for honest advice and criticism on pieces when I need it.
毎日絵を描きますか？
Yes I do, in some way or another. I currently paint for work every day as a concept artist, so I don’t always get to whip out the gouache paints at night because sometimes I am just too tired.
一度に一枚ずつ描きますか、それとも数枚を同時に制作しますか？
I usually paint one piece at a time, at the most two. For larger oil pieces, I will start off with a digital concept first by bringing my reference photos into Photoshop and painting on top to figure out the composition and colors I want.
アトリエでの絵画と、野外での写生、どちらがお好みですか？
I love both. I would never stop plein air painting because I think it’s essential to study from nature.
何色のコアカラーを使用していますか？
I use 3 core colors aside from white: Hansa Yellow Light, Alizarin Crimson, and Ultramarine.
チューブ、パン、それともスティック？
I use tubes.
How do you know that your piece is finished?
When all my shapes, colors and values exist in harmony. But I think I will never really fully be done with any piece. It’s just the best I can do at that time and moment.
