PAINTING WITH PASTELS

STILL LIFE/SELF-PORTRAIT DRAWING & PAINTING

STILL LIFE/SELF-PORTRAIT DRAWING & PAINTING

    

This class is ideal for anyone who has ever wanted to try the pastel medium or for more advanced pastel artists. Methods to capture mood, color, atmosphere and light in pastels with emphasis on value, composition, atmo- spheric perspective, simultaneous contrast and mark making will be covered.
Classes will include a short introduction about pastels and materials, followed by demonstrations of a still life or landscape subject that includes doing an underpainting. 

Individual instruction at your easel. All levels are welcome.

PAINTING WITH CHRISTIAN WHITE

Drawing & Painting with Tyler Hughes

PAINTING WITH CHRISTIAN WHITE

Come primarily with a good sketchbook and drawing materials to work on ideas and take notes. If experienced, bring own materials. 

For beginners, bring sketchbook, good dark pencils or charcoal, kneaded eraser, and almost any color medium (even crayons). For those with specific ideas or projects in mind, he will be happy to work on them with you, just email him ahead of time.


Palette: prefer hard palette. If you have a wooden one, give it a coat of shellac or something before using it so the oil does not stick; plexiglass is also okay, doesn't need priming.


Brushes: Prefers Robert Simmond Signet Seried EGBERTS (a longer version of FILBERTS), in sizes ranging from #2 to #8 (you might need to go to Amazon for these; Blick's brush department is going downhill). FILBERTS are okay if you can't find Egberts. recommend a good, natural Chinese bristle one-inch house painting brush, obtainable in a hardware or paint store. ESCODA #2 at Blick is excellent, #4 or #6 round sable can be useful. The tiny, cheap sable brushes are practically useless. 

Paint: Senneliers, Holbein, Gamblin, and Grumbacher Pre-Tested, roughly in that order. Old Holland paints are extremely high quality and intense color, bit pricey. You really only need black, white, grey, naples yellow, indian red, ultramarine blue, or course not limited to these.


Recommended Pigments: 

Zinc White, or Titanium-Zinc White 

Naples Yellow (he likes Maimeri Naples Yellow Dark)

Yellow Ochre

Cadmium red, Deep

Ultramarine Blue Deep

Burnt Umber

Ivory Black

Optional- Cerulean, Alzarin, Virdian, Raw Sienna, Cadmium Orange.

Canvas: I recommend the Raymar painting panels, single primed linen on panel. See raymar.com, or more specifically http://www.raymarart.com/Single-Primed-Linen-Plein- Air-Painting-Panels-s/1.htm. Some students like to team together, to buy a group of pan- els, which saves on cost. A good average panel size, for any painting, is 18” x 24”
