Rothko Colour Field Landscapes with Mark Stopforth
Saturday 23rd November 2024
Attic Studio
10am – 4pm
All abilities welcome
We’re delighted to welcome Mark Stopforth as a visiting tutor at Pegasus Art. As a professional artist and art teacher for many years, Mark has the perfect CV for this role!
This is a day workshop exploring Colour Field Painting, inspired by Mark Rothko. The term was originally applied to the work of three mid-twentieth century abstract artists Rothko, Newman and Still. Aswell as highly considered colour choices, there was also an emotional, mythic and religious content to this movement. Rothko challenged the representational utilisation of paint, opting for contemplative use of colour on giant canvases.
Working on paper (in the same way as Rothko) through expressive mark making and layering of oils, you will be exploring the technique of ‘alla prima’ – wet on wet paint. The session will be broken down into an introduction, then some quick sketches in oils, experimenting in a ragged technique with no paint brushes used. These sketches will then lead into an afternoon of painting on a larger scale using the new techniques you’ve acquired. Everything you need for this workshop is available to buy in our warehouse shop with an extra 5% discount.
