NEGATIVE PAINTING for Watercolorists, SIMPLIFIED with Janine Helton
If you've been painting for awhile and still have trouble grasping the concept of negative painting, this watercolor workshop is for you! You will not be painting flowers and leaves or any “thing”, instead you will learn to paint the space around the flowers and leaves, creating glowing blooms, foliage and layers of depth through multiple glazes. As you develop the skill of negative painting, you will practice seeing “shapes” instead of “things”, learn to save your whites and lights without using masking fluid, and be able to create a full range of values in your paintings without “muddy” darks.
Class fee: $200 (two full days)
When: Thursday and Friday July 9 -10, 2020 from 9 am to 3:30 pm each day.
Where: Green Door Art Gallery in Webster Groves, MO
To register, contact Janine at: janine@janheltonartworks.com or https://janheltonartworks.com/contact Upon registration, Janine will contact you with further information as well as a supply list.
DAY 1 Negative painting is a difficult concept to master in that it is contrary to the way we naturally see things. You will learn exactly what negative painting is (and why it's a good skill to have) through explanations, examples, demonstrations and practice.
DAY 2 The emphasis will be on skill development with more demonstrations and lots of painting practice with one-on-one assistance. Negative painting is a layered technique which requires drying time between glazes, so you may work on two or more paintings at once if desired. Paper will be provided. Upon registration, Janine will contact you with payment information as well as a supply list. *Some experience in watercolor is required. *Class size limited to 10 students, with a minimum of 5 students needed to hold the class.
NEGATIVE PAINTING/POSITIVE RESULTS with Janine Helton
In this advanced**, all-day watercolor workshop, you will learn Janine’s process of planning and preparing an underpainting before painting your subject (birds), moving into negative painting, and then adding finishing touches with positive shapes. Techniques covered will include composition, using and combining your own photographs, glazing, color harmony, avoiding “mud,” lost and found/hard and soft edges, and of course, positive and negative painting, with an emphasis on the latter. Janine Helton has been recognized in watercolor competitions locally, nationally and internationally. She is a Best of Missouri Hands Juried Artist, a Saint Louis Watercolor Society Signature Member, as well as a Signature Member of both the Missouri Watercolor Society and the Georgia Watercolor Society.
Class fee: $100
When: Saturday, July 18, 2020 from 9 am to 4 pm
