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.
