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. This course includes costs for the required custom wooden panel and grey-scale palette (reusable) that is necessary as part of the methodology used for this workshop. |
Paul graduated Ringling College of Art and Design with a BFA in Illustration. After graduating he was hired by Paul Montgomery Studio, a decorative art firm where he designed and executed a wide variety of decorative arts projects for the commercial and private clients. His landscape, sky, and trompe l'oiel murals; hand painted Italian ornamental designs; and 18th century design motif reproductions adorn hotels, restaurants and homes internationally. In 1992 Paul left the firm to start Paul Scibilia Studios where he continues his career as a painter and decorative artist. In 2001, his love of the techniques and style of the Renaissance painters inspired him to create a painting class at Anna Maria Art League on Anna Maria Island, Fl. The course title was "Old Masters Methodology Painting". This expanded to several other art leagues in the Sarasota/Bradenton, Fl area. Now living in Savannah, Ga., Paul has continued his decorative art business. He teaches his "Old Masters Methodology Painting" course at the studio school.
