This studio-based course is designed for all skill levels, from beginners to advanced participants. In a relaxed, non-intimidating atmosphere students will explore the traditional application of oil paint to produce realistic paintings. All fundamentals will be studied including painting surfaces, painting media, handling of paint, colour theory, composition and design, and the use of sketches and photo resources.

Dates: Jul 26 to Jul 30; 8:30am to 4:30pm The Argyrotype, Cyanotype and Vandyke Process CEA933 – 30954
The Cyanotype and Vandyke processes date back to 1842 and are based on the iron-silver process. The Argyrotype, developed by Mike Ware is an alternative to the kallitype process. As with other historic processes, an enlarged or digital negative is placed emulsion-side down on a sheet of hand-coated artist’s paper and exposed under a high UV light source. When exposure is complete, the sensitized paper is developed and fixed. The final print has a beautiful brown tone. Participants will learn how to make digital negatives for this workshop scanned from b/w negatives or digital files. Please email David Lewis at dlewis@onlink.net after you have registered for the course and he will send you a personal information letter for creating the digital negative. Instructor: David Lewis
