"Skin and flesh as physical paint"
The importance of the underpainting
This workshop is part of a bilogy that Felipe Alonso will teach in Madrid. Although students can choose to attend one of the workshops independently, they are designed to complement each other.
CONTENT AND OBJECTIVES
- To promote a space of approach between the pictorial matter and the skin and the flesh as the story narrativity.
- Appropriating the necessary resources to represent the flesh in the painting with as many plastic elements as possible, focusing especially on the possibilities of the material and its textures from the under-painting.
- Investigate the advantages and disadvantages of different media, mediums, paints, varnishes and brushes for each of the phases of the painting.
METHODOLOGY
The participants will work with acrylic and oil paint on an suitable canvas. The paint will be applied through a layering process, taking advantage of the qualities of the under-painting and its resources to obtain the textures and surfaces that represent the human flesh and skin.
During the sessions of the workshop we will go through the various stages of the construction of a painting and with practical examples we will analyse:
- The transcendence and repercussion of a proper preparation of the painting support.
- The importance of the previous development of the image to be painted as sketches or studies, through digital image editing programs.
- The possibilities offered by the under-painting or first layers of material for the ideal rendering of the representation; in this case, skin and flesh.
- The qualities of the application of color in the flesh (transparency and opacity).
The teacher will focus on each participant to achieve the greatest technical advances, taking into account each person individuality.
