PASTEL: THE PAINTING MEDIUM-A STUDY IN UNDERPAINTING
Mon. May 28 - Fri. Jun. 1 / 9am-4pm
Location: Home Studio
This workshop explores the many functions of underpainting, in support of pastel painting, but could easily be applied to other mediums. We will start the week with traditional approaches and benefits of underpainting, such as monochromatic studies, warm/cool compliments, unification, and high key/low key contrast. As we go through the week, non-traditional approaches will emerge, that require spontaneity and a looser approach. The morning will be structured with theory, lecture, exercises in composition and painting, while the afternoons will be open for independent work and one on one critique. Which approaches are right and natural for them as they move toward a more dynamic element in their artmaking and expression.
Cost: $350.00+hst

COLOUR THEORY AND INTUITIVE COLOUR IN PASTEL
Location:
Haliburton school of the Arts
Working through traditional colour theory, we’ll be practicing our pastel application at the same time as making many colour theory samples, and their direct application to painting in pastel. We’ll cover mixing on the page for tints, tones and shades, of one colour, complimentary, and split complimentary systems, and other colour systems. Students will plan their own individual work, and apply what they have learnt, in a way that integrates your own personal way with colour, giving originality to your work.
