What Lies
Beneath Can Make All the Difference
Tracey Maras
Pastel,
acrylic, oil, watercolor…..Each attempts to “define” the artwork we
create. Each provides a different
aesthetic, in addition to all the other different qualities that separate these
mediums. But we are not limited to the
traditional “look” of each medium. We
can make our own. We can create our own unique pieces by considering what lies
beneath.
During this
half-day workshop, I will demonstrate the influence and impact that
underpaintings and surface textures can have on our paintings. You will have
the opportunity to experiment with these techniques while working on your own
painting.
Recommended
Supplies:
Bring
whatever supplies you regularly use for your preferred medium.
If using
watercolor, consider bringing white gouache.
If using
soft pastel, consider bringing a cup, brush, and isopropyl alcohol for an
underpainting.
If using
oil, consider bringing a medium to thin the paint for an underpainting.
