“It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see”
H.D.Thoureau
Edge control is built by pushing and pulling the eye through a painting. It creates transitions and enhances depth, softness, hardness, and interest in any composition so my new workshop is focused on edge definition, and for the first time I will portray a subject requested many times by the participants: still life.
I want to paint different fruits - apples, pears, lemons, oranges, and grapes. I would love to share one more thing about my personal learning experience: the still life is an excellent format for isolating shapes to focus on something particular so I have hundreds of fruit sketches in my studio. I will share some of them with all participants.
Looking at an apple, for example, in real life, helped me to understand volume, light and shadow, edge control, and how to tell an appealing story with only one shape. I believe that when we paint from life, our eyes edit for us as we draw so I might use a real fruit in one of my demos.
The transitions between foreground and background will be emphasized in this workshop: I want to demonstrate how to connect the subject and the background, working with the colors and values transitions.
As we will be in August, not so far from the fall season, I will include a hydrangea demo with fall colors. The multiple tiny flowers of the hydrangea are an excellent opportunity to talk about the edges suggestion. If necessary, I might use one more flower, the Cosmos Apricot.
And don’t forget that an orange is just an orange but the way of expressing that simple subject with watercolor is your task and challenge as an artist so let’s find the beauty hidden behind the ordinary subjects together.
