Using Color to Establish Dramatic Light:
Oil Painting Workshop with Libby Johnson
October 3-5, 2008
Friday & Saturday 9am - 4pm; Sunday 9am - 12pm
Fee: $220 / $200 staa members
This class is offered by Libby Johnson, whose work was featured this January in a 20-year retrospective of oil paintings. The emphasis of the class will be on color and its use in creating specific light situations in paintings. Reproductions of actual dramatic light situations, both indoor and outdoor, will be used so that the student can analyze the color and utilize it to make more provocative and dynamic palette choices in their paintings. The student will create palettes that capture nuance and drama in any light situation. The role that color choices play in establishing dynamic composition will also be discussed.
This three-day weekend workshop will be held at the Art Association October 3 – 5, 2008 from 9am to 4pm Friday and Saturday and 9-12 Sunday. The fee for this workshop is $220 or $200 for members of STAA. Interested artists should register now, as space is limited to 15 students. A materials list is available at STAA and at Mo’s Art Supply and Framing.
