Painting Workshop
"The Portrait"
This workshop is part of a bilogy that Edwige Fouvry will teach in Madrid next September. Although students can choose to attend one of the workshops independently, they are designed to complement each other.
The participating artists will begin to paint after the initial lesson in which the focus of the Workshop will be established. In the pictorial practice the artists will try to put into practice the enunciated principles. Edwige Fouvry will talk individually with each artist about their progress.
We will start with classical studies (drawings) of the portraits, keeping in mind composition, lights and volumes.
We will pay attention to the color palette, quite specific for the flesh tint, the shadows, etc… After that we will start painting , learning how to keep in the same time expression and rightness. I will explain you the role of colors and how to create emotions, harmony or tension with them. Of course, art history will be helpful, we will look carefully at masters’s portraits.
Prestaremos especial atención a la paleta de color, específicamente sobre los tonos de la piel, las sombras, etc. Tras esta etapa comenzará la pintura, aprendiendo a mantener al mismo tiempo la expresión y el parecido. Edwige Fouvry conversara con cada artista explicando el papel que desempeñan los colores y como crear emociones, armonía o tensión con ellos. Por supuesto la mirada sobre la historia del arte siempre servirá como referencia, estudiando minuciosamente algunos retratos de los grandes maestros.
