Wednesdays 6:00-9:00
This course is all about oils, from beginning to advanced. Attendees are welcome to bring works in progress for supervised studio time. Those new to oils will (time permitting) learn useful techniques of canvas preparation, color theory, composition, choice of brushes, paints and other tools.
Intermediate artists will learn about techniques such as fat over lean, alla prima, dry brush, imprimatura, glazes, grisaille, sfumato, sgraffito, scumble, verdura, chiaroscuro, tenebrism, rebatement, the golden mean, notan, oiling out and others. More experienced artists will get a chance to incorporate these techniques and others in their work.
Finally, we have the wealth of knowledge passed down to us by our predecessors; some useful, some just entertaining. Gainsborough, for example, used heads of broccoli as models for trees. Kandinsky, who is credited with the first abstract art, was synesthetic. As in, he could hear colors :0. The monotony of life, as expressed by great artists, and all available to us! Let’s let them teach us.
