Old Palette, New Tricks

Friday, February 5th, 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

 

With only three colors, plus white, we will explore the subtle and earthy palette of the Old Masters. Begin by testing a wide range of hues, and then complete a small composition utilizing Rembrandt's simple and dramatic technique of chiarascuro, or stark lights and darks. No prior experience necessary, and only a few materials required, for this fun mini art history class!
