Upcoming in September
FALL CLASSES & WORKSHOPS
Painting with Oil
Foundation series addressing imprimatura, wet in wet, direct & indirect painting,
glazing, colour application, brushwork and mediums.
Spontaneous Sky
This series will address the transient and optical effects of light and weather.
Participants will paint skies in both direct painting, including alla prima and wet in wet, as well as indirect approaches, incorporating glazing, scumbling and impasto.
Plein Air Landscape in Oil, Acrylic or Pastel
Weather permitting, you will paint outdoors among vineyards, orchards and gardens. This exciting method of painting sharpens observation skills. Composition, value, colours, light, edges and atmospheric perspective will be addressed.
Encaustic Painting
Ancient and intriguing, this method of painting originated in Greece, where it was used for the earliest easel and mural painting. A heady combination of colour, melting wax and heat, encaustic mixes dry and oil pigments in hot beeswax.
Jan will demonstrate techniques including: fusion-'burning in', preparation of supports and grounds, glazing, layering and scraping, build up and texture, line and edge, collage and image transfer. Participants will explore these methods hands on with the expert guidance of the instructor. This workshop is enjoyable for those with no previous art-making experience as well as returning artists who want to further explore this
alluring and tactile medium.
