About this event
November 13, 2025 from 9am-1pm - Session 1: "Filling in the Gaps" (Material & Design)
If your study of art has been a self-directed education consisting of advice from fellow artists, random workshops and Youtube videos, it is likely that your artistic development has a lot of knowledge gaps. Along your journey, you may have missed some critical pieces of information that may mean the difference between a successful painting and painting that doesn't work. And the worst part about it is, you may not understand why it doesn't work. It may be too late for you to spend four years in art school studying under an organized and structured approach, but you can fill in the gaps left by years of self-study and experimentation. This class has been developed with the intention of filling in these gaps.
In the second session, we will explore the painting process. The session will move from the design process and the value study and cover the following:
- a study of color (hue, value and intensity-warm and cool- transparent and opaque).
-> There will be a comprehensive study of color, limited palettes and split primary palettes, harmonic schemes, mixing, creating and using the Richard Schmidt color charts, and atmospheric perspective, including various color wheels and, in particular, the Yurmby digital color wheel (yellow, magenta and cyan.)
- the use of grisaille and layering or alla prima approach.
- shapes and block-in.
- common brush techniques used in both photo-realistic and impressionist styles.
Students will bring 3 or 4 small (8x10, 11x14 or similar size) canvas panels (or stretched canvas if they prefer). We will paint examples of different color schemes and brush techniques. There will not be time to cover portrait and figurative painting, but we will do a brief study on skin tones used for portraits as well as techniques for rendering a likeness. The student should leave this class with a solid understanding of value and color and how to use this knowledge to produce a successful painting.
