Description
In the first half of the 15th century, a “new” oil painting was born in Flanders, attributed to the Van Eyck brothers, painters and alchemists. Their technique is based on the alternation and different properties of fatty layers and lean layers. By submitting to the products imposed on him, the painter loses his pleasure in painting and distorts his spiritual creation.
This mixed technique approach course will allow you to reconnect with the raw material (support, pigment, binder) in order to escape the technical difficulties linked to the industrialization of these products modified in a way contrary to the interests of the painter.
This knowledge should allow for openness to any technique and ease of understanding when examining any new material.
Production of a copy or detail based on a good quality color reproduction.
Preferably, a still life chosen for its different materials represented (transparency of glass, fruit, velvety fabrics, opacity and reflections of metals, terracotta, etc.).
Required level
Basic notions of drawing and oil painting.
Equipment required
Personal oil painting equipment (tubes, brushes, turpentine, cotton rags), a round wooden stick (at least one meter long and with a section of at least 10 mm), a palette paper, small containers, a color reproduction of the chosen model, a support to paint: blank canvas or plywood panel.
