Negative Painting Workshop with Nancy Newman

Wednesday, November 13, 2013; 10am - 4pm

Workshop Fee: $75.00

Location: Barry Coombs Studio, 224-15 Adrian Avenue, Toronto

Not to be Negative, but….

Artists search for ways to give their work the “Wow” factor. We want viewers to take that extra moment to look at what we have created. One way to achieve this is to paint in the negative. Use the space in and around an object to enhance the illusion of depth and increase the range of values in your painting.  

If you would like to explore this exciting process of negative painting, this workshop is for you. Through a step-by-step demonstration, you will create a beautiful fall forest painted in the negative. This is an enjoyable and effective exercise that will allow you to incorporate negative painting into your own work….Painting negatively can be a very positive experience!

To enroll for this workshop, contact Nancy directly at nancynewmanart@gmail.com. Directions and a material list will be provided upon enrollment.

 Just a few pics of the flora of France.  Plane trees and poppies and grapes oh my!

You see these unusual trees everywhere, although they seem to be causing some controversy in Southern France.

 

 

 

 They are called Plane trees, and have a connection to Napoleon.

Vineyards everywhere....no wasted space!
