Online Workshop Description
FOCUS ON NATURE - ONLINE
April 30, May 1 & 2, 2021 at 1:00 to 4:00 Eastern Time, by Zoom.
This workshop will be in acrylic and is suitable for all levels of skill and experience. Scarlet rose hips, berries and flower buds take centre stage as we explore painting elegant vignettes. Using negative painting techniques we create a powerful focal area with intricate details and strong contrasts of value and hue. Then we transition to soft, loose brushwork to create the vignette effect of diffused forms and colour that fades away to the edges - the secret is in layering glazes.
The Virtual Workshop Experience with Linda Kemp
- Linda has a business Zoom account that will provide an invitation link for each student.
- There will be a professional monitor for the workshop who will show the students how to effectively use the Zoom platform at the start of the first day. The monitor will control the waiting room, keep track of questions and mange any video and audio controls/troubles with the least disturbance to the workshop.
- Each day begins with a welcome and overview of the schedule and program. The students will know exactly how the day will unfold and the objectives.
- Students will receive handouts for the workshop by email or as download links.
- Linda will prepare the demonstrations ahead of time using professional quality recording equipment and editing. The videos are then compressed so that they will look their best on Zoom. The recorded demonstrations take the risk out of live demos struggles such as poor lighting, sound and output. Students will have a better-than-front row seat!
- The daily recorded video demonstrations will be posted to Linda's account on Vimeo. The workshop students will receive a private link so that they can watch for 30 days. These links are available only to the students in this workshop. Even if their internet is uncooperative on the day of the workshop, they will be able to watch the demonstration as often as they want and when their connection is good.
- Workshop lessons, teaching visuals, examples, product explanations, etc. are provided through a live Keynote presentation. Questions are monitored and answered live.
- Live Q & A time is scheduled throughout the program.
- Student painting time is part of the program. Students are welcome to check in for guidance during their painting time.
- Review and critique. At the end of each day there will be time for questions and concerns. Students may choose if and how they want to share their work. The simplest is to hold their paintings up to their camera but this is not always the best approach. For a higher quality review, they may upload a .jpg to Zoom or email a picture of their painting to the monitor, who will screen share for a critique. The instructions for this will be provided during the workshop.
- Students may wish to join a private Facebook group (Linda Kemp Workshops) to post their paintings and share with other students after the workshop.
