Choosing painting as the means to describe and interpret form, particularly when done from a naturalist reflection, is a highly complex challenge that requires the strongest bond between painter and materials. The selection of the colors that make up one’s palette is one of the most transcendental decisions a painter can make.
This workshop will concentrate on how the character of a palette, dictated by its boundaries, has the potential to amplify specific goals during the act of representation. We will work daily on exercises while painting from a life model, each one based on the particular color relationships that are generated in each palette type, attempting to isolate attributes of value, hue, and saturation.
The goal is to bring the painter closer to identifying and generating a solid dynamic between perception, intention, and interpretation through painting, never leaving behind the fundamentals of drawing.
All levels are welcome.
