We’ve got a lot better in understanding about Zoom and how to navigate it right now, so we’re announcing the SECOND SESSION – Composition & Colour Harmony Morandi Still Life Painting, on Saturday & Sunday, 1pm-3:15pm Singapore Time!
 
 

Michael Britton Workshops in Singapore

LIVE FROM SINGAPORE! ZOOM ONLINE ART CLASSES 

Learn how to construct beautiful paintings like Morandi 

 

Learn and appreciate the underlying harmonies of composition and colour using the medium of your choice – watercolour, acrylic, oil, pastel, etc. – to complete a Morandi-inspired painting. Work with the materials you already have.

Giorgio Morandi was one of the giants of 20th Century art. His quiet still-life paintings are often described as frozen music.

This is a very rare opportunity to study online with international master artist Michael Britton in the safety of your home.

Start from 23 May Every Saturday & Sunday, 1:00 – 3:15pm
In each session you will complete one painting. S$75 for one session / S$180 for four sessions plus Michael’s e-book Structures of Beauty.

If you missed Lesson 1 no worries. I will be doing a full review. In Lesson 1 we focused on the Rabatements (a very powerful compositional tool) and the Primary color harmony of blue, red and yellow plus white and black.

In Lesson 2 we explore the golden rectangle whose ratio 1.618 was described by Plato in Timaeous as being the Number of the World’s soul.

In the second part of Lesson 2 you will learn the Secondary Harmonic Triad of Green, Orange and Violet plus tint, tone, shade and also …

How to create dynamic backgrounds!

In Lesson 1 I demonstrated with watercolor. In Lesson 2 I will be using oils.

 

Once you register you will be sent three templates of drawings that were drawn from Morandi’s still life objects that he used in his masterful paintings.

Just like costumes for paper dolls cut them out before class so that they are ready to go.

Underlying every great painting is a schematic of geometry that is commonly known as sacred geometry. To painters it is known as Dynamic Symmetry and has been in use since the ancient Greeks.

Don’t be intimidated! We are going to go step-by-step as I teach you some very simple but powerful composition tools.

Combining the compositions of Dynamic Symmetry and Color Theory results in unified and harmonious paintings. With even our crude cut-out objects engaging paintings can be created.

This example is watercolor, but you can use any medium you prefer. No need to purchase any new art supplies! Go with the paints that you already have.
