2017 Upcoming workshops for Martinho:
November 6 – 17, Richmond B.C – Methods of the Masters: Caravaggio
In this 60-hour workshop, students will gain
hands-on familiarity with the techniques of one of the great masters of sacred
art, Michelangelo Merisi, also called Caravaggio. Known for dramatic compositions
using light and dark, called chiaroscuro, Caravaggio developed a very specific
and efficient way of working. Using a high-quality reproduction, students will
have the opportunity to thoroughly study how Caravaggio created his
masterpieces. Beginning with the drawing stage through to the final glazes, all
stages of Caravaggio’s painting process will be discussed and practiced.
