Sunday, August 18, 2024 9am-12 noon
Location: Oregon City
Instructor: Rita Sabler
How can you depict objects predominantly cloaked in shades of gray, or capture elements that are hard to see or recognize? Discover how to expand your artistic toolkit by embracing a wide range of values, from deep, velvety blacks to delicate, nuanced grays. Learn how to infuse your work with personality despite the seemingly monochromatic subject matter, using subtle hints of hue, texture, and expressive mark-making. By the end of the workshop you will know how to mix rich nuanced darks, simplify complicated scenes using value maps, and unlock the secrets to creating sketches that transcend their gray subject matter.
