Grisaille Painting

Barbara Holmes-Fryefield

4 week class

Mondays

January 9, 16, 23, 30

10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

Cost $150.00 (not including materials)

"Grisailles," or monochromatic painting in oils, is a fundamental step in learning how to paint in a naturalistic way, and offers a logical transition from drawing to oil painting. Grisaille simplifies the challenging art of objective figure painting by allowing us to thoroughly examine "form as value," rather than color. Though not necessarily black and white, the grisaille is an important study as a precursor to working in color.

In this class, students will develop a deeper understanding of value as a means of analyzing and assessing color and form. Working in oil paint from the live model, students will develop either a number of single sitting "poster" studies (small works that emphasize mass and shape) or a larger, long-pose study. Topics of discussion will include: compostion, shape, mass and design; the anatomy of light and shadow as relates to the modeling of forms and features; an assessment of color based on value, hue and intensity; paint handling and material. This class is structured to be taken by itself or as a compliment to, "Portraiture in Limited Palett." Open to beginners as well as intermediates. Barbara recently attended a Grisailles workshop with artist Nicholas Raynolds' at the Art Students League in New York. She brings to Jacksonville formal studies to share with intermediate and advanced artists.

February 2

4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.

Cost $150.00 (not including materials)

The first class in this workshop will require the student to make a finished drawing study as a classic preparation for developing a painting. The drawing will be used to anticipate painting and compositional problems as well as to study formal sculptural relationships in rendering the subject in a realist manner. The first session will also include a drawing demonstration by Ms. Fryefield to illustrate the issues she wishes to emphasize. Painting from still life will be used to emphasize using shape and patterned shapes to make a more complex painting. The larger aesthetic goals of selective interpretation in rendering the object will also be investigated.

Introduction to Portraiture

Barbara Holmes-Fryefield

4 week class

Thursdays

February 9, 16, 23

March 1

3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.

Cost $175.00 (not including materials)

This portrait drawing class will focus on mass and light when working from a model. Emphasis will be placed on measurement and basic skull structure. Working in either charcoal or paint, students will focus on keying the values to create a strong impact of light, form, mass and atmosphere.

Your first, and most important step, is to learn how to strike an arabesque. This is more commonly known as the contour which is the entire outside shape of the head. Once you acquire the skill of accurately and consistently striking an arabesque, or contour, your portrait drawing will move forward. In addition, there will be an ongoing discussion of composition and design, through values, masses and rhythms. Instruction will include individual and group critiques, as well as demonstrations and lectures. Students of all levels and experience are welcome.
