Supply List

Harmonious work has an inner logic. There are no unconsidered shapes, colors, or marks and every element works together to form a pleasing, coherent painting.

This workshop will explore several methods for achieving harmony in your work. We’ll focus on manipulating colour, key, brushwork, and other principles of design to make paintings that have a satisfying visual unity.

You’ll work on targeted exercises from still life set ups in your own studio to explore the concepts from each lesson. Then, you’ll apply what you’ve learned to photo references in other genres: figurative, landscape, portrait etc. The methods that you learn will help you create harmonious work no matter what subject you’re painting.

This workshop is suitable for any medium that uses color. Ingrid’s demos will be in oil.
