Using a traditional technique of indirect layering and glazing this workshop will present a method for painting glass. Critical to the approach will be an understanding of the spatial arrangement of the compositional elements which will determine the order in which forms are constructed in a painting. We will consider how the fundamental properties of glass: transparency, refraction and reflection, influence the way that any clear object is translated into paint. Students can expect to make one work in the course of the week which will develop over multiple sessions. The only pre-requisite to attend this class is a confident drawing ability.
