Color and paint handling are always intertwined. A color can feel loud, quiet, solid, airy, or atmospheric depending not only on the color itself, but on how the paint is applied.
Scumbling, dry brushing, scraping and smearing paint have very different impacts on appearance than fluid juicy strokes, thick dabs or palette knife slabs.
The aim of this workshop is to understand the way our paint application affects our color. We’ll learn to enhance or diminish chroma, alter its temperature, make it vibrate or be still all through how we put paint on our canvases.
Each week, we’ll paint a smalll still life to explore an aspect of paint application and colour. We’ll also become familiar with the qualities and uses of the course palette of pigments.
Along with weekly small paintings, each painter will work on larger multi-week painting project from a photo reference in the genre of their choice. Allowing this piece to dry between classes will let us build complex surfaces and thoughtful color compositions over the course of the four-week session.
The classes will consist of clear, in-depth demos and low-stress, positive critiques. Ingrid encourages questions and discussion during class time and strives to make online classes as lively and interactive as in person workshops.
You will have access to the recordings and message board for this class for three months after the end of the class.
