The intent of this workshop is to go beyond the scope of a traditional acrylic painting class and teach students more in-depth concepts to help execute the painting we'll work on in the class, and to make better choices in the future when working at home alone.
You will learn how to modify a reference photo to make it more interesting, how to transfer an image onto a surface, how to select colors for your underpainting and painting to achieve your artistic intent, how different viscosities of paint work, the difference between mineral and modern pigments, how to color block large areas and how to glaze. Some prior painting experience is required. If you are not sure if you are ready for this class, please call and ask for Jules to discuss at 419-720-6462.
Class One: Discussion of intent: Classical vs. Contemporary color and what to select. Modifying your image for better composition, transferring your image to your surface, basic color-blocking, painting in highlights and shadows.
Class Two: Continuation of painting highlights and shadows, building the foundation for your painting
Class Three & Four: Glazing the painting to completion.
Students who finish early are welcome to begin another painting they can complete at home.
Students should bring to the first class:
two or three black and white copies of an in-focus image they would like to paint printed on 8.5x11" paper
a color copy of the same image, also 8.5x11"
their own paint brushes, if they already own some, including a small detail brush with a good point
a pen or pencil for notes
a sketchbook / notebook / paper for taking notes
Student should buy at The Depo (cost to student is $18.00 or less):
a 8x8, 8x10, 12x12, or 9x12" gesso board to paint on. Please wait to purchase a board at the shop until we can look at your image together. Your printed image size should match your gesso board.
a size 0, or 2 Round brush with a good point if you do not have one.
Jules will provide:
use of all paints and mediums, design markers, and most brushes.
