The Impressionists Use of Colour
19 Jun 2022 | 1-day
Tutor - Francesca Berlingieri Maxwell
1-day workshop
Sunday 19 June 2022, 10.30am - 3.30pm
This class will be taking place in person at The RWA Drawing School Studio at the Royal West of England Academy. If government restrictions prevent this, due to Covid, this workshop will take place on Zoom.
Explore the use of colours in the style of the Impressionists and learn to create an overall atmosphere using the interplay of colours between objects. Cezanne claimed that, 'painting is recording colour sensation'. Following this concept, learn to apply hues at their purest and without softening or delineating shapes. Analyse light, its effect on composition and apply this to create a still life using acrylic and pastels on paper.
All basic materials provided for this workshop, although we recommend bringing your own brushes if you have them. Please bring an apron or wear clothes suitable for an art studio. You may also wish to consider bring a plastic bag in which to take wet work home with you.
Please note, participants may need to wear face coverings for the duration of the sessions. The RWA is able to provide one free visor per person for those who prefer them.
