2024 Workshops
"Imperfect Stories" with Rachel Jones
November 21, 2024 from 9:30am to 3:30pm
Imperfection can convey faulty or incomplete. I will demonstrate my process of creating a story or sharing a glimpse into an individual embracing the imperfections of a beginning sketch. The aim in this class is not hyper realism, but compelling figures. The basic building blocks of composing a painting will be discussed while also focusing on body language, atmosphere, and expressions to create engaging works. Though oils may be used, I will be demonstrating with water colors.
Supplies:
Charcoal Sticks
Pens/Pencils Newsprint or sketch paper
Watercolor Paper
Paints - Please bring the paint colors you are comfortable using. I will be demonstrating a limited palette with Paynes Grey included.
Brushes
Tape
Paper Towels
Water bucket if using water medias
