Course Description

 

Utilizing three different limited palettes based on the colours available to artists at different times in history (Classical, Impressionist, Modern), participants will hone their colour mixing skills as they push the boundaries of the pigments to create an image. Working small (approximately 8x10 or 9x12) and alla prima, participants will create a painting each day using a different palette while working from their same photo reference. This is an excellent way to practice seeing and mixing colour according to value and colour temperature, and to begin to understand the practical benefits of a limited palette to support the story of your painting. As I am primarily a landscape painter, this course is geared towards landscape and working with oils (acrylic is also acceptable however please be aware that I will only be demoing in oils). There will be demos and group discussion each day as we share the work of participants.

Maria holds a BFA with Honours from the University of the Arts, Philadelphia, PA, has been the recipient of numerous awards and grants, holds Senior Signature Status (SFCA) with the Federation of Canadian Artists, is a member of the Oil Painters of America, and continues to take part in Invitational Plein Air events both nationally and abroad.
