Description
BBAC VISITING ARTIST WORKSHOP SERIES
3-Day Painting Workshop: Suggest Rather than Render
with Artist / Instructor Dan Graziano
All Levels
Monday-Wednesday, June 24-26
9:00 am – 3:30 pm, 3 all-day sessions
$625 Members, $665 Guests
This three-day workshop will focus on painting “alla prima” (all at once) as well as developing greater skills of observation, simplification and quickly painting “wet on wet” to create strong “painterly” paintings. The workshop will also discuss techniques to quickly transfer the important elements of a reference photo to the canvas, creating an artistic painting rather than simply rendering a photograph.
The first morning of the workshop begins with a brief discussion of oil painting basics (from materials to paint handling) and will also address the fundamentals of color, value, edges, perspective and other “practical” elements related to successful painting. Participants will then work on a series of timed painting exercises incorporating the techniques discussedand developing their skills of observation, simplification and quickly working in an “alla prima” manner.
Each day of the workshop will include a short painting demo by Dan with explanation of his process along the way, and plenty of one-on-one individual instruction.This workshop is designed for beginning to advanced painters in both oil and acrylic media. Participants are encouraged to bring still life objects and photos to paint from or may choose from photos brought by the instructor. Participants bring their own supplies.
