Location: Richmond Virginia
Instructor: Cindy MacMillan, Academy of Realist Art
Study an “old master” painting in one of the cities that helped shape America as we know it today. This former capital of the confederacy is full of history complemented with a thriving modern culture, it’s interesting, fun and “easy to love”.
Utilizing a copy of an old master painting you will learn the step-by-step academic process that leads to an exact copy. You will gain a clear understanding of the traditional materials, techniques and principles of oil painting. You will learn the important concepts of massing of tonal values, planning light and dark values (chiaroscuro), selective focus and the technique of layering. Used together these make a luminous painting. Some modern materials will be used to help speed up the process, so you can fit your project within the time limits of the workshop.
