Description
A great still-life painting is about creating a space through the careful arrangement of values, edges, color, and composition. It is a story, narrated by the artist, and while it may seem spontaneous and fresh in appearance, there are many calculated steps along the way.
The key to any great still-life painting is preparation. A proper setup, the right tools, and the right mindset are all that is required to complete a painting in just a few sessions. In this workshop, we will create one painting over the course of four days. Various techniques, such as block-in, transfer drawing, value relationships, comparative measure, and poster studies will be discussed and practiced which will all aid in completing the task at hand. Through individual critiques and daily demonstrations Dale will work side by side with the participants to achieve their individual goals.
Composition, color, paint handling, and proper use of materials will all be discussed and explored. Using a layered approach, participants will compose and paint a small still-life, from start to finish in 4 days.
Day One:
We will explore composition through the use of values and shape design. Our goal on the first day will be to have a well-designed composition and complete the drawing which we will then use to transfer to the painting surface.
Day Two:
The drawing will be transferred to our surface, the underpainting will be discussed and completed. We will then turn our attention to the poster study, which will explore large hue, value, and chroma relationships which will serve as a guide for our finished painting.
Day Three:
The first pass will be completed. We will discuss different approaches to layering oil paint (Thicker paint vs. glazes), edges, and strategy for setting up for the finish will all be realized by the end of day.
Day Four:
The final pass and pushing towards the finish will be the goal on the last day. How to finish a painting, and when to consider your painting finished will be the topics at hand.
