Come broaden your drawing technique with this 5-day workshop. The fi rst morning will be spent on experimenting with the pastels to acquire the feel for applying the chalk on paper and achieving different effects. Once the bare bone technique of applying the chalk is accomplished, participants will be introduced to colour mixing and blending. An exercise in exploring complementary colours will add to your knowledge. Participants will learn the do’s and don’ts for enhancing black and white images with colour. Participants will learn how to apply pastel in abstract techniques to change the image in numerous ways with respect to composition, contrasting tonal values and colour juxtaposition. At mid-week, students will be introduced to a unique experience; tinting on black and white images with acrylic paints. This technique was developed by Fitzgerald and goes far beyond the old practice of photo tinting resulting in an image that takes tinting to a whole new level. Bring along some meaningful photos and you may be able to create a one.
