Through demonstrations and individual critique, he will emphasize the time tested principles including drawing, value, edges, color and interpreting light and shadow. Painting from life will be emphasized and is at the core of Mr. Legg’s artistic sensibility. Legg says, “Visualization and being truthful about the subject are inextricably linked and are at the heart of creativity. A painting is a “translation” and can only become as great as the artist’s love and understanding of his subject.” INTERMEDIATE TO ADVANCED INSTRUCTOR DEMONSTRATIONS INDIVIDUAL ATTENTION PORTABLE EASEL NECESSARY WORKSHOP SUPPLIES LIST: SUPPORT: (Painting surface) I suggest bringing 3 or 4 canvases or panels no larger than 12" X 16" (I prefer fine weave canvas or smooth panels primed with oil or gesso) ----You should tone all supports to a medium value neutral color with a thin mixture of raw umber mixed with cobalt blue and some medium. Tone board or canvas so that it will be dry before workshop starts. OIL PAINT: I suggest professional grade highly saturated pigments. (You get what you pay for when it comes to oil colors.)
RECOMMENDED COLORS LIST: (*indicates required color) Alizarin Crimson* Cadmium red deep Cadmium red medium* Cadmium orange Cadmium yellow medium* Cadmium lemon yellow * Viridian Ultramarine blue* Cobalt blue* Prussian blue Yellow ochre* Naples yellow Raw umber* Ivory black* Flake white, Cremnitz white or Titanium white. PAINTING MEDIUM: I recommend Flemish formula "Maroger Medium" or if you can't find Maroger use Gamblin Brand "Galkyd" or "Galkyd Lite" medium. BRUSHES: Good quality hog filberts ranging in size from ¼" wide to at least 1" wide. (I primarily use "Robert Simmons" hog bristle filberts) A few good quality smaller soft hair filberts and rounds. (Synthetic sables are fine) Also, a 2"- 3" wide flat bristle or synthetic sable is good for smoothing a background. A fan brush is also handy to have. PAINTING KNIFE: A flexible pointed painting knife of about 2-3 inches long. SOLVENT: Odorless mineral spirits or Gamblin "Gamsol" kept in a container with lid. (Workshop will offer solvent for those that travel by plane) SMALL HAND HELD MIRROR: For looking at your painting in reverse. PALETTE: I prefer a glass palette, but for travel purposes, wood or plastic.
A neutral color is preferable to stark white. PAPER TOWELS: I like VIVA. EASEL: You will need to bring your own portable easel. |
