Size TemperaLearn to use glue size tempera, following in the footsteps of Mantegna, Leonardo and Breughel. The radiant quality of size tempera, whether applied with broad, fresco-like strokes or finely brushed to achieve exquisite detail, is unique.
A first day is dedicated to understanding the medium through the lens of the Old Masters. During the following three days you will learn by doing and produce several studies and one finished work. You will explore the preparation of materials, painting techniques and colour combinations, all of which can inspire your contemporary practice. This is a fully practical course, expect good fun & hard work. To ensure you make the most of the learning experience, the sessions admit only four students. The first two lessons are approximately 3hrs long (with short breaks); in the final two days the 3hrs online will be spread across the day, alternating demonstrations and q & a with individual practice. |
