In a jaunt through art history, this workshop explores the working processes of painters from the Renaissance, French Academy and Impressionism. Students first consider how painters in the Renaissance and Ecole des Beaux-Arts dealt with the picture plane, drawing and value while exploring such methods as sight-size drawing, underpainting, toned grounds, wipe-outs and a limited palette. Next, students work with an expanded palette using direct painting methods championed by the Impressionists and Hawthorne/Hensche schools of "color notes". Color theory is discussed in a practical sense with a focus on how it applies to improving the palette set-up, paint mixing, and the illusion of light and atmospheric depth. Valuable insights and techniques are gained from the masters that can be applied directly to individual contemporary work.
