Pigments to Paint and Working in the Landscape
with BLAKE MORGAN
This is a workshop in the exploration of pigments and paint making and taking the materials we make into the landscape.
Are you interested in making your own paints and pastels? This course is a hands-on exploration of historical pigment production and paints including oil, egg tempera, pastel, fresco, acrylic and watercolor. We will make and discuss pigments and paint production beginning with Neolithic cave art and finishing with modern pigments and binders. Afterwards, we will take these materials into the landscape to create our own work. In the landscape students may utilize any medium. This section of the workshop will be an exercise in working from observation. Students will leave with a small set of watercolors and pastels handmade during the class.
All skill levels welcome.
