Copying Workshop
Opening Reception Friday, April 6, 2018 at 6-8pm
Agenda:
Please choose something amazing. The main criteria is that the painting has to feel magical to you. Any painting is magic the way paint becomes life, but some are truly special. Maybe it is the sharp sense of humanity in a six hundred year old portrait, the luminosity of the water, the perfection of the little world created on a small canvas...
We will begin with exploring the opportunities and selecting particular pieces to copy. Please think of the paintings that challenge you by their mastery. The pieces should not be too overwhelming. Six weeks is a short time for a masterpiece. I selected several of my favorite masters. You can go to Google Image Search and look for high resolution images or visit The National Gallery. Sifting through hundreds of images, discovering new names is a very valuable part of the workshop. You will have to do your research about the technique of the selected painting.
One of my students suggested a short write up to accompany each painting at the exhibition. This could include your own thoughts about the painting, your experience while working on it, its history, etc.
As usual we will have a show of finished paintings at the gallery for the following month.
We are very exited to start this new project!
