Positive and negative space can be tricky concepts to teach. The Japanese art of notan, some simple leaf shapes, and a quick intro to complementary colors is a fun way to explore the idea. These painted paper cuts go quickly so you'll want to make more than one!
Use this worksheet as a quick introduction or review about positive/negative space. This is a very simple worksheet meant to be used for younger grades. I use this worksheet in my classroom mostly as a review, especially for projects that rely heavily on using space if we haven't talked about it in a while. Directions on the worksheet are: "In the boxes on the LEFT side, color in the POSITIVE space. In the boxes on the RIGHT side, color in the NEGATIVE space." On the bottom of the page is a quick definition of space "Remember positive space is the subject/focus of the artwork while the negative space is the background or the area around the main subject.
Notan is a term used in Japanese art, meaning ‘dark – light harmony’. Notan art is characterised by the interplay of light and dark, white and black, positive and negative, in whi…

This guide provides you with everything you need to know about negative space drawing. Improve your observation and drawing accuracy with these exercises.
Note- this exercise is severely out of sequence in the assignment; despite being a trained horticulturalist my ability to kill pot plants is legendary, so having found the perfect specimen I really needed to seize the moment. On another note, my main camera has died and the photos here are taken on my back-up compact camera, apologies for the inferior quality. Amid the instructions for this exercise was this rider: "you may need to add enough lines to make the image readable to the viewer". Well, I know a challenge when I see one so was determined to find a plant which would not require extra "readability". I finally settled on a schefflera, as it has plenty of gaps through the foliage and a complex and challenging shape where the leaves interlace. My initial outline was done in pencil and gone over with drawing pen. I drew in the back of the table to anchor the image to the frame. Having achieved a reasonable image on my first attempt, I was itching to colour it in. I traced off a couple of outlines onto marker paper to play with. On the first of these, I began to fill in the negative spaces in black ink, starting with the internal shapes. When I ran out of these I realised that the way they were disposed across the page made for an interesting dynamic shape, so I opted not to fill in the remaining background. (Or maybe I've just been drawing too many shells; the shape is suggestive of the central spiral in a whelk) Next I fetched out the markers and quckly chose a series of pastel shades to scrawl across the area of the plant, before shading the background in a darker tone. By this time I was throughly enjoying chasing down the many design possibilities in the drawing, and began thinking in terms of printmaking; the silhouette would be equally adaptable as either linocut or silkscreen. I opted to draw a monochrome version cropped through with a trapezoid shape for the background; I was also exploring the lengths to which I could crop or abstract the image before it lost its readability. I had slightly adapted the shape in this one to improve the line- I had removed the supporting bamboo stick and drew in the base of the stem to give a clean finish to the bottom. A couple of days later, having had time to think up new approaches, I decided to abstract two sections onto a circle, layering them and applying tone to identify them. I drew my circle onto tracing paper and began with the top section, moving the frame around until I was happy with the intersection around the rim. For the second layer, I moved the paper over the lower set of leaves and aligned it so that the stem section lined up with what was already drawn, as I didn't want a second stem showing. I changed to a brown drawing pen to be able to identify which lines belonged to which layer, even so it rapidly became a confusing mass of lines, and I had little choice but to colour it in to make visual sense again. To avoid having outlines on the final version, I traced the design through to a flesh tinted card with an embossing tool, using enough pressure to give a clear outline which could be seen in raking light, before colouring it in. Sadly the spare camera's software didn't like the colours I used, and the picture doesn't really show how well it worked. If I wasn't a total klutz with image software, I'd happily scan and mask it for flat areas of colour and the ability to try out lots of colourways in a shorter time span. However, I think a week is enough time spent on this exercise for now, and it's time to get back on track and find out where I put my half-finished stipple drawing...

Negative space painting is a fascinating technique, which can result in artwork that has fantastic depth, dimension and interest. The process can feel a little counter-intuitive at first, but once you get the idea, it can be an enjoyable painting experience, and feels a bit like building a painting back into space. As part of our watercolor journey, I wanted to introduce this process to my adults. A leaf theme seemed fitting for the fall season, and the leaf motif was simple enough to tackle with this new technique, while their basic shapes allowed for plenty of artistic freedom and personal choice. To familiarize themselves with the process, my students watched a few negative space painting videos on YouTube before coming to class. There are many good tutorials out there, but here a few that we watched. Video 1 Video 2 Video 3 Students decided on a leaf variety to paint. Important was that their leaf shape is rather simple, since they'd be painting around this shape again and again in order to build up many layers of depth. Students had many visuals of leaves to choose from. Step 1: A light wash of color was painted across our entire paper. This first layer of color will eventually be the color of the leaves in our foreground, so those that are most in the front of our composition. A bit of variation in this first color adds interest, and will look more realistic, since leaves are rarely a solid, flat color, but are composed of many colors and imperfections. So splashing or dabbing a bit a different color here and there is all good, as long as this is also a very light color. Step 2: Students sketch our a simple leaf composition with 5-7 leaves. For good composition, leaves should be facing in different directions, and should vary in size. These are the leaves that will be in the front of our composition. Step 3: Begin painting. Students mix a color that is a bit darker than their first wash of color, and they proceed to paint AROUND their drawn leaves. Step 4: Students draw several more leaves, again thinking of good composition. Some leaves should underlap those in the front. Step 5: Students mix a color darker than their second color, and paint AROUND all the leaves. Step 6: More leaves are drawn. Some underlap those in front. Step 7: A darker color is mixed and again the leaves are painted around. Continue these steps until the composition is full of leaves, there is lots of overlapping, and there is lots of depth. Finishing touches Students add a little more detail to their leaves, to make them more realistic, to add a bit of texture, or to enhance the shadow and highlights. This could include adding faint veins, imperfections, shadows were there may be a bend or indent in the leaf, etc. Very important for creating a sense of depth is adding a slight shadow along the edge of any leaf where it overlaps another. One watercolor techniques we used for adding faint veins on our leaves was 'lifting', in which the color is lifted by lightly scrubbing the vein lines away with a wet brush. My adults found his technique challenging but fascinating. It's one that requires a lot of practice, but for a first time exploration, I'd say we all did pretty well, and students went home happy with their results.

Negative painting is a technique where you paint around the subject rather than on the subject. It's a technique that can add depth and dimension to your paintings. Negative painting challenges us to shift our perspective and concentrate on the surrounding negative space rather than the subject itse
