SHAPE MEDITATION, a live online workshop with Tiffanie Mang
Bookings close 2 July 2022
A successful painting is built on the groundwork of thoughtful design. Without proper design to hold a painting together, adding color is just an accessory that might not help your painting. Regardless of whatever medium you work in, understanding how to design is the common thread--the vehicle--that allows you as an artist to convey your visual narrative in the best way possible.
In this two half day workshop, Tiffanie will teach what it means to design with intention, with seven main visual tools. She will also discuss the principles and methods to organize a better composition, and share exercises to help design the shapes that make up the best possible painting.
These workshops will be recorded and available to participants privately for a two month period. They will not be available publicly.
SUNDAY July 10 (9am to 1pm Western Australia Time)
Tiffanie will go over the seven visual tools used to create a successful painting. We will then dive into the importance of lines and compositional grids that can be used to arrange the shapes in your painting more intentionally. We will also study master paintings to see how the masters organized their paintings compositionally.
SUNDAY July 24 (9am to 1pm Western Australia Time)
We will transition from line to shape and discuss the power of notan (2 value) studies to simplify your statement into the most concise way possible. Matrix studies are probably one of the most effective ways to see if your final painting will read properly, and provides a clear roadmap for a successful painting. Tiffanie will demo how to break down master studies and her own photos into matrix studies.
This September, Tiffanie will be a Feature Artist at Plein Air Down Under, an outdoor painting festival held in the Peel Region of Western Australia, from 24 to 26 September. In addition to the festival weekend, there are additional pre-festival workshops and activities – all designed to celebrate the art of painting outdoors. This workshop is a Plein Air Down Under Satellite Event, in collaboration with Tiffanie Mang. Read more: Plein Air Down Under presents Tiffanie Mang |
