Betty Carr

Painting the Effects of Light in Oil
October 11th- October 15th, 2010, Boone, NC

This class will cover the characteristics of light, shadow, atmospheric perspective, and gradation for application in painting light in oil. The class will begin each morning with a spontaneous oil painting demonstration and lecture designed to cover basic oil painting techniques and materials. Emphasis during the week will be on simplification and organization of darks and lights, value and color relationships, and design and compositional aspects for the creation of great paintings. Through critical “seeing”, you will learn how to study light on form and compose and pull it together for strong work. Along with experiencing the fun of using oil, the use of drawing techniques will also be covered. A great time will be had by all!
