Creating Imagined Color Workshop: Online
Elody Gyekis | Summer 2024 | Jun 8 - Jun 9
Class Description:
Create a two-layer painting using imagined color schemes!
The ability to paint with invented color allows artists to escape copying the photograph, and to instead transform it into an evocative, painterly world. This workshop will include discussions of the behaviors of color, light, and reflection in nature to help guide decision-making in the creation of a convincing imaginary environment. The techniques taught in this workshop can also be used in creating convincing works that combine multiple photographic references into a single scene.
