Artists can often get frustrated trying to apply the rules of linear perspective to observational drawings and paintings. In this class will we develop observational skills that help us have correct perspective without the complexity of rules. We will do several studies where observation overrides the need for setting up vanishing points and rulers. Participants are welcome to draw or paint.

Old Master's Methodology
with Paul Scibilia
March 22-29, 2018 (8 days)
Thursday thru Wednesday
10am-5pm, one hour lunch
Cost: $495, includes custom panel and palette.
We will run this course again in the summer. Details coming soon. Email us if you're interested.
This 8 day workshop is based on passages written by Leonardo da Vinci in his notebooks on the technical principals of painting. The student will be guided from the initial drawing stages, through the grey-scale "Verdaccio" under painting, and finally into the mixing of a four-color full value palette. Every color needed in the painting can be created using a combination of the four colors. These will be applied in very thin transparent layers that allow all the modeling in the under-painting to come through. Through this approach the student will gain a greater ability to see the subject, learn the meaning of the related artistic terminology and language, gain the ability to see color as value; and gain insight into the historical significance of this incredible process.

Oil Painting
Fridays TBA Dates April 6, 13, 20 (no class 27th), May 4, 11, 18, 25 Instructor: Michael Reibel Michael@thestudioschoolsavannah.com Students will learn how paint the landscape in oil in the studio. A studio environment provides an opportunity for the artist to approach a landscape painting differently than when painting in the field. Working from reference material including photographs and field studies, students will learn how to use reference material to create an oil painting that begins with a strong composition and ultimately creates a sense of light, emotion and drama. We will work through design and composition, value and color studies, and the use of a monochromatic underpainting ultimately leading up to the finished studio painting. We will also discuss the strengths and limitations of photography when painting the landscape in the studio as well as the use of photo editing software. Depending on the skill level of the student and desire for working outside of class, more than one studio painting may be completed over the 7 weeks. Week 1 – Reference Sources/Design and composition/ Week 2 – Notan, value and color studies in oil / Week 3 – Monochromatic underpainting / Week 4 – Blocking in the large masses with color / Week 5 and Week 6 – Adding detail / Week 7 – Finish and critique Pay via PayPal below. Checks may be mailed to us before 1st day of class. Registration required for all students.
