This years's 7 day mural class with focus strictly on the trompe l'oeil aspect of mural painting. Be ready for a life altering experience.
Wine cellars provide artists with the perfect subject for trompe l'oeil because
-
they illuminates an open panoramic view, focusing on short depth of field
-
simple geometrical shapes ( such as still life objects)
-
architectural perspective
The class will start with
-
a lesson on one and two point perspective
-
followed by a color theory lesson with particular attention to tonal value and its' relationship to the creation of illusion of depth (defined as aerial perspective)
-
tonal value will be also at the center of our discussion on the theory of shadow and light
-
reflected light and cast shadow as the most powerful tool to achieve a complete 3d effect
In 7 days, the student will finish a 4x8 wine cellar view with wine barrel tile floor wine racket and in the foreground a still life painting of a basket and wine bottle. |
