Teen/Adult: Old Master Methodology (full day, 8 days)
July 26- Aug 4 (no class 28-29) 10am- 5pm one hour lunch Ages 15 to adult $495, includes custom panel and palette. Instructor: Paul Scibilia instructor assistant: Tatiana von Tauber Paul@thestudioschoolsavannah.com REGISTER HERE 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. 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.
