"FINDING YOUR INNER VOICE"
One Day Workshop by Todd A. Williams - Friday Nov. 21st. $150 - Space is Limited
My workshops are open to all skill levels and all medias, I personally will demo in oils, but my approach to teaching can be applied to all mediums, and I have experience working with all mediums.
*Todd will teach his step by step method of painting the landscape in oil. He will discuss how to choose and crop the photo. He will focus first on initial placement and geometry of the major features on the canvas; setting the values by designing the shadow and light patterns; adding the colors, modeling fine details, checking edges to sharpen or soften as needed; finally the consolidation phase adding final touches to complete the painting.
*The 1 day workshop starts with slide show presentation and studying several 20th century masters work in the morning. Followed by a painting demonstration (where all participants will paint the same thing, Todd will provided the all photo references) in the afternoon where he will demonstrate and discuss his step by step process. Todd will do a demonstration, where he will paint only the first step and stop. The students will also paint the first step on their canvases and stop; then Todd will paint the second step and so on. Each student follows along in the same fashion with Todd demonstrating each step and then stopping to let the students catch up on their own painting.
*The workshop will end with a final group critique.
*The examination of creating your own unique voice; will be explored in squinting, design, value control, color control, edges, paint manipulation, variety/unity.
