The great Baroque masters achieved dramatic effects using techniques quite different from those familiar to the oil painter of today. In this workshop students will discover through illustrated lectures and demonstration the craft-oriented procedures employed by the Old Masters. We will explore four critical subjects—the face, the figure, draperies, and the landscape—and cover canvas preparation, color types and sources, paint ingredients, and the uses of drawings in paintings.
