About Course
Tuesdays evenings 25 Apr to 20 June 2023 (6-9pm)
Over the course of 8 weeks Rosanna will guide you through constructing a painting in stages through a variety of exercises in painting the body and how these could also be applied in a variety of situations. We will look at traditional techniques such as big form modelling, refining form and using toning and glazing to create effective subtleties. We will look carefully at light logic, colour mixing, use of warms and cools to create space and building up form in stages to get increasing levels of detail, all of which will bring a new level of refinement to your work. Please bring an image or images you may like to look at and work from, this could be a photograph or painting from art history that interests you, as in parallel to doing exercises looking at art history painting and traditional techniques, Rosanna will encourage exploring how these elements can be applied to develop your own unique practice. Specialist materials are included although you will be encouraged to bring or buy your own brushes as the ones we provide are student quality. Advice on brushes will be given before the course.
