SUMMARY:Mark Dixon Painting Class - Direct Painting Studies with Oils   THI
 S WORKSHOP IS NOW FULL
DESCRIPTION:Mark Dixon Painting Class - Registration Closed\n6 Week Worksho
 p starting April 29\, 2025\n\nThe workshop will be on Tuesday afternoons s
 tarting April 29th from 1:00 to 3:30 or 4:00 in the afternoon\, and run fo
 r 6 sessions.\n\nThe theme of the workshop will be: “Direct Painting\, S
 tudies with your Oils” (Acrylics or Gouache can also be used\, although 
 gouache\nwould require different brushes)\n\nPainting is challenging\, we 
 want to worry about what to paint instead of how to paint it. The idea is 
 to be comfortable with the procedure of painting so you are free to be cre
 ative. The emphasis will be on brush work\, and simplifying color mixing. 
 The goal being to begin with drawing with your brush and to proceed from t
 here\, mixing color and continue using good brush work to lay in the shape
 s and values.\n\nThe emphasis will be on oil painting\, but if anyone want
 s to use gouache or acrylic\, that would be alright\, although acrylic is 
 not a medium I have much\nhistory with. We also will work on better design
  and composition. Also we can talk about mediums and solvents.\n\nWe will 
 be mainly doing painting studies in the 8 x 10\, 9 x 12 or 11 x 14 sizes (
 these are just my suggestion)\n\nThere are two big screen TVs that I put i
 mages up on to paint from. I will probably do some basic demos\, but want 
 everyone else to do most of the\npainting. The images that I will offer to
  paint are suggestions that are simple enough to be painted fairly quickly
 . If someone brings an image ( a photo of\nan image or say an image on a t
 ablet) that they would like to paint\, that would be all right if its fair
 ly simple.The idea is not to get a framable result\,\nbut to get comfortab
 le with the brushes and the consistency of the paint.\n\nThe Materials Lis
 t that I recommend:\nAn easel\n8 x 10\, 9 x 12 or 11 x 14 canvas panels. T
 hese are going to be mainly\nstudies\, so I suggest inexpensive panels. Yo
 u can get them from many\nsources\, Michaels\, Hobby Lobby\, Blicks\, Jerr
 y’s Artarama\, Amazon\,\nMeiningers etc.\n\nPalette Colors: (this is a f
 airly limited palette\, My paints are Winsor and\nNewton)\nTitanium white\
 nCadmium Yellow Pale\nNaples yellow pale ( certainly optional\, but a grea
 t color) Winsor and\nNewton\nYellow Ochre\nCadmium orange\nCadmium red med
 ium\nAlizarin Crimson\nUltramarine blue\nPermanent green medium ( This is 
 a medium green\, not to cool and not too\nwarm)\nRaw umber\nBurnt umber\nI
 vory black\nThis is a pretty common palette\, other good brands will give 
 you pretty\nmuch the same colors.\n\nBrushes:\nBrushes are very important 
 for drawing and brush work.\nI really like Brights that have a nice chisel
  edge for beginning work\nTrekell Opal. #2\, 4 and 6 flats or brights\nSil
 ver Bristlon brights #2 and 4 flats\, brights\nRosemary ivory synthetics #
 2\, 4 and 6 brights\nBeste Golden Takalon round #4 This is the only round 
 suggested\, you\nmay want a small round brush #2 Rounds should come to a p
 oint!\nI’m suggesting mainly brights and flats for quick work\, but you 
 can certainly\nbring filberts or your personal favorites.\nGood brushes fo
 r blending are softer brushes and worn brushes that have\nflared out and h
 ave become softer. A soft round that comes to a point are\ngreat for detai
 ls (#2 and #4 are good)\n\nSolvents:\nSuggest Terpenoid or other odorless 
 solvents\n\nMiscellaneous:\nPaper towels\, palette knife\nSome people like
  to use a painting medium of which there are many. I use\nvery little or n
 o medium\, but if you are used to painting with mediums\, bring\nthem. (To
 o much medium use can result in problems)\nApron?\nWhatever else you’re 
 used to\n\nContact: Mark Dixon\, Cell phone No. is: 719-495-4789.\nPlease
