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:
為什麼創作藝術？
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.
你畫畫多久了？
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!
你接受過正規的藝術訓練嗎？
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.
你是職業藝術家還是業餘愛好者？
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.
Who inspires you?
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!
你畫畫的時候喜歡聽什麼類型的音樂？
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.
你有沒有過導師？
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.
你每天都畫畫嗎？
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.
你是一次只畫一幅畫，還是同時畫好幾幅？
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.
你喜歡在畫室裡作畫還是在戶外寫生？
I love both. I would never stop plein air painting because I think it’s essential to study from nature.
你們使用了多少種核心色？
I use 3 core colors aside from white: Hansa Yellow Light, Alizarin Crimson, and Ultramarine.
管狀、盤狀還是棒狀？
I use tubes.
你怎麼知道你的作品已經完成了？
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.
