This lecture and demonstration presents artists materials and tools, what they are meant to communicate and how they manipulate the presentation of color. Focus is on why decisions were made, not how materials were/are used!
Egg tempera communicates about a time we imagine was more about doctrines and dogma, it is a clear, sharp medium that doesn't allow for modification. Oil paint came into vogue during a time when the enlightenment was just around the corner and we had much more economic freedom as mercantile routes opened up, oil paint allows an artist to smooth, blend and almost endlessly modify their decisions. These inventions were forced into existence by a human need to share what was experienced daily in interaction with the world at large. Subtle nuances and new forms of communication were illuminated by the creation of new means. New tools and materials were invented to accommodate the human need to express these new experiences.
Additionally, the discussion includes where we are going with new materials and tools available to us today.
We will explore the creation and utilization of oil, egg tempera and acrylic paints by mixing pigments and binders and then painting with them to better understand the actual layering, mixing and interaction of medium, binder, and substrate.
