Let your imagination soar, using any color from the color wheel for your painting. I see so many artists that are so obsessed by their color photograph, that they spend half their painting time selecting the exact color to paint the tree or shrub, to match the photograph.
For this workshop we are going to ditch the color photograph and are going to use a black and white photograph as a reference. You can bring your own photo, but I will provide all the reference photographs. To start the workshops will paint a demo. using a B&W photo. Every artist knows what color to paint the sky, depending on the time of day, what color are the trees, etc., you do not need a color photo most artist know what color to use. Let your own imagination be your guide and use what ever color is your favorite sky color, etc.
My plan is to have every artist complete one painting in the morning and 2 paintings in the afternoon. Come prepared to zone into a painting mode and have great fun and let color be your guide to a beautiful pastel painting. During this workshop, we will be experimenting with several underpainting techniques: black ink, smudging your pastels with a kitchen sponge, and applying ink over pastels. Sign up for the fun!
