Rory McEwen changed the trajectory of botanical art, and launched a revival of painting on vellum. One of the things he did masterfully was use the stems of flowers to create movement in his paintings.
Using cut flowers, we'll design compositions with movement. Through discussion, demonstration and hands-on practice, we’ll learn how to use the special characteristics of vellum to our advantage. Students will transfer their compositional drawings to vellum, lay out a color roadmap, and apply controlled layers of color to build lifelike color, form, and value.
One sheet of 8x10 inch vellum will be provided to each participant.
