Recently her work was featured on the cover of The Artist’s Magazine, which had a feature article that she wrote about color theory. A feature article about her underpainting and glazing technique was in the Oct. 2005 issue of that magazine, and she was the 2006 juror for their still life competition. She is a regular contributor to that publication.
Workshop Description (5 days)
Luminous color! As artists we are so quickly attracted and entertained by color. It’s the focus of our lives! And that’s what this workshop is about. The master artists of the past used the technique of underpainting and glazing to make their colors as beautiful and luscious as possible. Artists have traditionally used relatively slow drying media for this technique, but we will be using alkyd mediums, which dry more quickly and are much easier and convenient to use. Students will work from still life set-ups or photographs. Some interesting background effects will be demonstrated and then applied by the students to their paintings.
Then a neutral color underpainting will be developed that is based on intense study of the values of the composition. Then the students will begin glazing over their underpaintings with layers of luminous transparent color. Attention will be paid to sculpting the forms with color and creating the illusion of light. This workshop is great for beginners who are concerned with controlling the painting process and for more advanced students who want to learn another technique for creating the illusions of reality.
Instructor demonstrations and slide presentations, along with individual instruction and critiques will be used to teach the process and techniques used.
