M. Joy Lemon-Alla Prima Oil Painting with Lead White | Franciscan Life Process Center

Details

Discover the world of luminosity and depth in oil painting with lead white pigment in the upcoming event "M. Joy Lemon-Alla Prima Oil Painting with Lead White." Hosted at the Franciscan Life Process Center in Lowell, this event will immerse participants in the techniques and secrets of the old masters. Lead white oil paint, known as the most common white pigment on the old masters' palette, will be the focus of this class. Its unique properties make it warmer, more transparent, and faster drying compared to modern white pigments. With its low tinting strength, it allows artists to create a range of effects, from the thinnest veil of color to a thick textural impasto. Participants will have the opportunity to explore and experiment with various artistic effects, while also enhancing their drawing skills, brush handling, and understanding of value structure. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced painter, this class is open to all skill levels. Led by M. Joy Lemon, this event promises to be instructive and inspiring, as participants create multiple works of art that showcase the beauty and versatility of lead white oil paint. So mark your calendars for May 22-23, 2024, and join in this enriching art experience. Secure your spot now and unlock the secrets of luminosity and depth with lead white oil paint.
