Throughout the history of art, artists have manipulated paint in many different personal and interesting ways. This intensive workshop will focus on studying the composition of value and color in oil painting, with a choice of painting directly all prima, or by using a layered grisaille underpainting to depict flesh in extremely interesting ways. Together we will study how artists have designed their works, how to mix colors and values— and more importantly, composing them and understanding their relationships. This workshop is open to all levels of students, and is recommended as a way to improve color mixing, layering of paint, value and cool/warm judgment, and strong statements of color.
