00:00:00,357 --> 00:00:02,620
(soft music)

2
00:00:02,620 --> 00:00:04,099
- Hi, I'm Missy Dunaway.

3
00:00:04,099 --> 00:00:05,730
I'm an artist who specializes

4
00:00:05,730 --> 00:00:08,679
in using acrylic ink in moleskin journals.

5
00:00:08,679 --> 00:00:10,720
I've taken my sketchbooks
all over the world

6
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:13,599
from Turkey and Morocco
to Finland and Sweden

7
00:00:13,599 --> 00:00:14,759
and all the way back home

8
00:00:14,759 --> 00:00:16,649
to where I'm located in Portland, Maine.

9
00:00:16,649 --> 00:00:17,760
I'll be sharing my process

10
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:19,769
of how I work from photographic images

11
00:00:19,769 --> 00:00:22,489
to record memories as
paintings in moleskins

12
00:00:22,489 --> 00:00:24,660
as an alternative to using photography.

13
00:00:24,660 --> 00:00:26,289
Following my first two classes,

14
00:00:26,289 --> 00:00:28,160
this time we'll be working with an image

15
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:29,859
that's much more complex,

16
00:00:29,859 --> 00:00:31,443
depicting a sunny landscape

17
00:00:31,443 --> 00:00:34,682
with lots of trees, foliage and details.

18
00:00:35,829 --> 00:00:37,329
Using a photographic reference

19
00:00:37,329 --> 00:00:39,420
I'll show how I block out a composition

20
00:00:39,420 --> 00:00:41,729
into large simple masses of color

21
00:00:41,729 --> 00:00:44,740
that we can then easily
transfer into a painting.

22
00:00:44,740 --> 00:00:46,685
We'll build a painting
slowly through layers.

23
00:00:46,685 --> 00:00:49,899
We'll be exploring the many
ways we can use acrylic ink.

24
00:00:49,899 --> 00:00:51,630
The reason why I love this medium so much

25
00:00:51,630 --> 00:00:54,579
is because it can be used
in thick opaque layers

26
00:00:54,579 --> 00:00:56,039
and also diluted with water

27
00:00:56,039 --> 00:00:57,783
to create thin veils of color.

28
00:00:58,729 --> 00:01:00,560
Photography is becoming
more and more common

29
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:02,359
as a way to document our lives

30
00:01:02,359 --> 00:01:05,129
but through painting we can
exaggerate color and mood

31
00:01:05,129 --> 00:01:07,483
to create a more romantic
and nostalgic image.
