Floral Painting Workshop - Karen Winslow
Description: Working from life, students will be taught to simplify and compose a flower painting by: seeking rhythm and overall design; using the principles of aerial perspective and value control; and creating an impression of atmosphere and depth. Painting in mass (instead of filling in lines) and keeping the painting moving towards a unified light effect will be developed, along with color, composition, planes and edges. Special attention will be given to rendering a variety of textures including glass, metal, china and drapery, as well as capturing the characteristics of particular flowers. Instruction focuses on demonstrations and repeated one-on-one and group critiques. This class will meet indoors and possibly outdoors in the garden (depending on the weather). Karen always paints alongside of her students explaining the “how” and “why” of artistic principles, as well as sharing years of experience on the technical aspects of painting and art history.
Dates: Saturday & Sunday, May 3 and 4, 9am - 4pm
Fees: $200 for Members, $225 for Nonmembers
