It's suitable for beginners as well as experienced artists and is all about creating imagery by mostly removing paint to 'excavate light'. Check out my website and scroll down to see this and my full programme of workshops and classes.
Here are the details:
In this workshop we will work with OPEN Acrylic paints for painting in the morning and charcoal for drawing in the afternoon. Reductive (or subtractive techniques as they are sometimes known) have been used by many artists over the years, such as Edgar Degas and Frank Auerbach, to create moody, expressive artworks. This technique starts with a completely dark covered surface and areas are gradually erased back to light, creating a range of values which allows form to emerge. As the piece develops, the charcoal or paint can be added back to intensify the low lights, bringing the work to completion through the interplay of reductive and additive mark making.
You will learn about slow drying OPEN acrylics which can be worked and reworked for extended periods without drying out. Your surface will be MDF board covered in a ground of textured Molding Paste – a minimally absorbent covering which makes paint removal easy and leaves wonderfully expressive marks. During the afternoon, you will work on paper with charcoal and learn how to excavate light with a variety of erasures, to create moody imagery.
Cost: $150
Location and Date: This workshop will take place on Saturday 22nd April 2023 from 10am – 4.30pm at Morag Stokes Art Studio, 14 Morepork Drive, Waikanae. Tel. 027 380 3282.
Lunch and refreshments: There will be a 50 minute lunch break. Bring your own packed lunch or visit one of the cafes in Waikanae town, a few minutes drive from the studio. Tea, instant coffee and nibbles will be provided for you to help yourself to throughout the day.
