蒂凡妮·芒 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:
你为什么创作艺术？
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.
你画画多久了？
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!
你接受过正规的艺术训练吗？
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.
你是职业艺术家还是业余爱好者？
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.
谁激励着你？
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!
你画画的时候喜欢听什么类型的音乐？
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.
你有没有过导师？
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.
你每天都画画吗？
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.
你是一次只画一幅画，还是同时画好几幅？
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.
你更喜欢在画室里作画还是在户外写生？
I love both. I would never stop plein air painting because I think it’s essential to study from nature.
你们使用了多少种核心颜色？
I use 3 core colors aside from white: Hansa Yellow Light, Alizarin Crimson, and Ultramarine.
管状、盘状还是棒状？
I use tubes.
你怎么知道你的作品已经完成了？
当我的所有形状、色彩和色调都和谐共存时，我就完成了。但我认为我永远无法真正意义上完成任何一件作品。那只是我在当时那个时刻所能做到的最好水平。.
