Course Outline
Canada’s modern economy would not have been possible without the vehicles that underpin it, and form an integral part of the Canadian working landscape. Their combination of form & colour provides an exciting subject for painters, although the often-complex light effects can be intimidating.
This course is intended for anyone who would like to have a go at painting vehicles for the first time, or revisit the subject with a fresh eye. It will concentrate on a ship and truck, as two of the most common subjects beloved by Canadian painters
The course will examine basic colour theory, colour mixing, composition layering and brushwork. It is a hands-on course, combining demonstration and guided hands-on painting.
The workshop is designed with a two-day format:
· Day 1 Truck: Students will work on a square or rectangular painting around `16” long, from a common truck composition, chosen by the instructor.
· Day 2 Marine Shipping; Students will work on a square or rectangular painting around 16” long, from a common marine shipping composition, chosen by the instructor.
In each case, the instructor will lead the session by periodic demonstration, followed personal instruction to each student. By the end of the course, it is hoped that students have practiced brush handling, paint mixing, layering and palette choice to approach vehicular compositions with some confidence.
