Photo to Painting: Create Memorable Art: Charlie Hunter I Local I Oil
“Color gets the credit, but value does the work!” What does it mean? During this intensive workshop, students will dive into the world of values with master-of-the-limited-palette, Charlie Hunter. Using reference photographs as a starting point, this class will focus on how to make values, edges, and composition work to build stronger paintings. Rather than immediately working photo-to-painting, Hunter shares his process with students as he guides them through the often-overlooked steps of creating value drawings from photographs before creating paintings based on the drawings. With these drawings students will be able to develop memorable and dynamic paintings. By simplifying forms and emphasizing composition, students’ work can take on a power that will truly make it stand out. Demos by Hunter will show how he goes about creating his award-winning work. Students are sure to leave this class laughing, challenged, and armed with an arsenal of tools to strengthen their painting and create the best work of their life.
