English term or phrase: blocking in
Coloured pencils used on textured watercolour paper can achieve some exciting effects. To achieve the effect of a sheep’s coat, emphasize the rich darks that are found within shadow recess areas of dense wool, using both linear strokes and *blocking in*.

Hier geht es um die Beschreibung von Mal- und Zeichentechniken.

Vielen Dank.

flächig


Explanation:
flächiges Auftragen; Flächen zeichnen

Blocking in ist wohl normalerweise einer der ersten Schritte beim Malen einer Bildes, wobei Farben in Flächen aufgetragen werden, denen dann durch übermalen eine Struktur verliehen wird.

Würde dann hier als Gegensatz zu den linear strokes passen. Vielleicht ein Ansatz für die weitere Fachwortsuche.

Yarnell Studio - Common Painting Terms
"Underpainting or Blocking In - These two terms mean the same thing. The first step in all paintings is to block in or underpaint the darker values of the entire painting. Then you begin applying the next values of color to create form and depth of each object."
