Making your paintings glow: using color, values and design.
Becky: “I do a brief demo to show my process. Then continuously go from student to student helping each individually. We will work from photos and in part imagination to manipulate the elements to a glowing painting. I will bring photos, but you can also use your own. All skill levels are welcome. My goal is always to identify each students strengths and weaknesses. Because we all progress at different rates and in different areas. I like to impart to each individual what they can do to improve their paintings in general. At the end of each session we will conduct a group critique”.
Becky works in oil and will accept Oil, acrylic, watercolor, and pastels.
Number of students: 6-12
Supplies; A variety of flat and filbert brushes from #6-#10. A palette knife for mixing. Two small canvases no larger than 11″x14″.
Paints colors I use: Titanium white, cad yellow light or lemon yellow, cad red light, cad orange, alizarin crimson, dioxazine purple, manganese blue, ultramarine blue, sap green. The purple and green are convenience colors but not necessary. We can mix them. My palette is a basic warm/cool. I use Manganese blue rather than cerulean because it is a cleaner color. I use Gambling Colors.
Palette, container for odorless solvent, paper towels. (I like blue shop towels).
