Outline of the Two Day Egg Tempera Course

Day One:

Antony will give a presentation on his practice – illustrating this with photos of the different stages of the development of a painting, including under painting and the development of the painting into full colour.

He will give a demonstration of how to mix the egg with the pigments and the techniques and application of the paint to the gesso panel. Following his demonstration he will get the students to do the same, and get them to practice making and applying the paint on to some mount card.

Students will then do a drawing on to the gesso panel using diluted ivory black, of a still life subject; followed by the underpainting and then continue with the under painting with individual tuition. 

Day Two:

Antony will explain and demonstrate the next stage of the painting with the development of the painting using the full palette and working with cool and warm tones in juxtaposition.  Students will continue developing their work from the under painting stage.  A short appraisal of the students work will end the day.
