Dan Graziano Workshop: In a Painterly Manner
Advertisement
This two-day workshop will focus on painting “alla prima” (all at once) as well as developing greater skills of observation, simplification and quickly painting “wet on wet” to create strong “painterly” paintings. The workshop will also discuss techniques to quickly transfer the important elements from a reference photo to the canvas, creating an artistic and personal interpretation rather than simply rendering a photograph.
The first morning of the workshop begins with a brief discussion of oil painting basics (from materials to paint handling) and will also address the fundamentals of color, value, edges, perspective and other “practical” elements related to successful painting. Participants will then work on a series of timed painting exercises incorporating the techniques discussed and developing their skills of observation, simplification and quickly working in an “alla prima” manner.
Each day of the workshop will include a short painting demo by Dan with explanation of his process along the way along with plenty of one-on-one individual instruction throughout the day.
This workshop is designed for intermediate to advanced painters in both oil and acrylic mediums, however proficiency in basic drawing is required. Participants will be able to choose from a wide variety of reference photos supplied by the instructor for their painting exercises.
