Animal Painting Techniques with PCAD Professor Jason Ward and Ceanna Davis

August 15th 10AM-4PM - $90/person This workshop, for both beginners and advanced artists, will focus on measuring the proportions of the animal figure. We’ll learn to look for key skeletal landmarks while thinking about the animal's range of motion. We’ll cover how to use perspective and will also touch on how far a strong silhouette goes towards bringing life to our figures. Class will begin with an introduction, then move to a brief demonstration, and the remaining time will be spent working from a reference photo. This class is open to both drawing and painting mediums. Materials list: Painting oils/acrylics: - Paints: Titanium White, Burnt Sienna, Burnt Umber, Cadmium Red, Cadmium Yellow, Ultramarine BlueAll other colors are optional -Brushes: A variety of brush sizes and shapes, as well as, both stiff and soft bristles are recommended. -Palette Knife: I use a medium/small metal diamond shaped palette knife for both mixing and application of paint. -Artist Palette: A proper wood or glass palette is recommended, palette paper will work fine for this workshop. Please avoid creative substitutes (such as watercolor palettes, paper plates, anything wrapped in tinfoil, etc.) as they tend to cause problems during the painting process. -Surface: A primed and stretched canvas, or hardboard panel is best for painting. A heavy bodied paper, such as watercolor paper, will also work.
