An Approach to Tonal Realism: Workshop
1 & 12 July, 10am-4pm
Tim Murphy
This workshop explores methods inspired by the Australian Tonalists (where patterns of light and dark are favoured over underdrawing) and is intended to give participants a grounding or an opportunity to advance skills in oil painting based on direct observation.
Held over two days, day one will focus on techniques for measuring and plotting, observing tonal shapes and establishing a hierarchy of edges. Day two will include a study of colour temperature and how to apply colour according to tonal order.
Participants can expect to gain an understanding of how to approach tonal painting logically, and it is hoped this knowledge can be used as a reference for further studies. The workshop also provides an opportunity to complete a finished work. All skill levels are welcome.
