Two Day Workshop
Saturday, July 9, 2022 | 10am-4pm
Sunday, July 10, 2022 | 10am-4pm
$240
This class will primarily focus on mixing color in oil paint from observation. Working from a still life motif, students will learn to produce harmonious color relationships from observation. Paintings will be developed over the course of two days, beginning with broad color notes and working toward more refinement in the color and drawing. Through the introduction of concepts like hue, value, and chroma, as well as basic color theory, students will analyze their perceptions and recreate them with mixtures of paint, learning to guide themselves toward more meaningful, sophisticated color and tonal relationships.
Post-Impressionist Painting and Collage with the Figure with Amy Peterson (18+)
Two Day Workshop
Friday, August 5, 2022 | 5:30-8pm
Saturday, August 6, 2022 | 9am-4pm
$235
This workshop is inspired by Post-Impressionist paintings. For the Impressionists, emphasis was on light and atmosphere. For the Post-Impressionists, emphasis shifted toward color, pattern, and symbolism. Flattened forms of objects and figures, plus heavily patterned interiors, make a scene appear abstract at first glance. In this workshop, you will be using techniques of Post-Impressionist painters to create an interior scene.
On Friday, students will create sketches from a live model. On Saturday, they will paint and/or use collage to create an interior scene on canvas. Students may bring photographs to use as references, or may use their memory or imagination to create the scene. Knowledge gained during the live model sketch from Friday night will be used to incorporate a figure into a Post-Impressionist interior painting.
