Workshop Description
MAKING A GOOD PAINTING is a workshop for oil and acrylic painters who have some painting experience and who would like to improve their skills. So many elements go into making a good painting including how to choose a good subject in the first place, what makes a strong composition, the importance of value sketches and all the aspects of color and color mixing. Making good choices at the composition stage and the initial block in can make such a difference in the success of the painting and learning how to improve your observational skills and really ’see’ your subject is so important.
In the field, these decisions must be made quickly and confidently so a studio workshop setting is ideal to allow time to explore all the options. There will be black and white studies, color mixing exercises, demonstrations of block in methods (in oil) and lots of individual support. Some reference material will be on hand but bring along any that you feel might make a good painting. Includes demos and individual help, limit of 18 students.
This workshop will be held at the Ramsay Community Centre, located at 1136 - 8 Street SE.
