Painting Project - Gum trees in the Outback, including knifing and impasto
Foundation Deep Dive - Value, Contrast, Light & Shade
Re-imagining a traditional subject with vibrant colours and thick impasto strokes, the demonstrated approaches are great for total beginners or intermediates, both teens and adults. (Images in the gallery show references to be inspired by for this painting.)
Every step is attentively facilitated, touching on subjects such as compositional arrangement, light and shade, and colour mastery (these are always covered along the way). For this Saturday Intensive full-day workshop, we will have a special focus, and the online module of Value, Contrast, Light & Shade will be provided as a bonus, allowing participants to continue their foundation studies of Light and Shade at home.
A 40x50 cm canvas board is provided. Upgrades to stretched deep canvas and even custom-ordered floating frames are available on the day.
