Workshop 1

Methods of the Masters: Caravaggio

Dates: June 18 to June 29, 2012
Instructor: Inga Loyeva

Class times: Monday to Friday 10.00am to 1.00pm; 3.00pm to 6.00pm.

The painting methodology of the Angel Academy of Art is a culmination of many centuries’ worth of old masters’ methods. In this two-week workshop, students will gain hands-on familiarity into the techniques of one of these masters, Caravaggio, and the best way to facilitate this is through a faithful reconstruction of a painting—in short, making a copy.

Working from a choice among several high-quality reproductions supplied by the school, students will have the opportunity to thoroughly study how Caravaggio created his extraordinary works. All stages of a painting, from the drawing to the final nuances using glazes, will be discussed and put into practice. Further topics will include: colour, in both it’s theoretical and it’s practical application; edge treatment; paint quality; the relationship of light to form, and many more.

The workshop will begin with a slide presentation introducing Caravaggio and his work, along with a step-by-step overview of the painting process. Apart from daily working time with both group and individual instruction, several demonstrations will be given throughout the workshop to help illustrate the various procedures.
