Workshop: Mixology of Shadows

July 17 @ 10:00 am - 4:00 pm

This class will teach you about one of the ways that photography can fail a painter. Photos tend to deepen shadows to the point they go black. When working from life you learn that you can see into those shadows in most cases. This one-day class will teach you that creating shadows really does not require you to just paint them black. We will learn about when and how to mix colors for cool shadows, warm shadows, and how shadows are identifiable by how the artist handles their edges and cores. And if working from a photo, how to paint what you know or suspect rather than just want the photo presents.

Materials: Bring one or two clear photos with shadows you are interested in capturing in paint. This class can help you with whatever liquid medium you work in. Bring a palette, brushes, palette knife and a couple of painting surfaces (5×7 and 8×10 or 9×12), paint, sketchbook, pencil and spray bottle if working in water medium. The instructor will bring additional tools that will help you.
