DATE & TIME SLOTS:
Today we are returning to a bydone age and are painting an iconic Spitfire aeroplane. You wil learn how to construct the drawing of the aeroplane by breaking it down into basic shapes and sketching them out and how to add detail and refine the drawing. Using a monochromatic colour scheme with a splash of colour, we will create a dramatic painting. Suitable for beginners and more experienced artists alike.
In today’s piece, we will look at building a composition consisting of background, middle ground and foreground, and atmospheric or aerial perspective. Using atmospheric perspective creates the illusion of depth (or distance) by showing the foreground as clearer and brighter and the background as paler, less detailed and usually bluer. This is a technique used by artists to give the impression that things in the background are much further away than
the things in the foreground.
In this session we will be using vibrant oil pastels to paint an interesting and harmonious portrait. The focus of the lesson is on the use of colour, both in the under-layers and itn the top layers. We will demonstrate how to use a secondary colour scheme of purples and oranges to capture the shade and highlights on the face.
We start our acrylic sessions off with a painting of a beautiful black bear. We will look at the benefits of using an underpainting so that the colours peep through the final piece and give thought to which colours we will use as our base coat and why.
