The four sessions will be held Monday, Jan. 5, Jan. 12, Jan. 26 and Feb. 2.
Sponsored by the Friends of the Somers Library and presented by instructor Professor Mark A. Cassata. During this four-session workshop, tinted drawing will help students discover an invaluable skill for better painting
The tinted drawing, originally developed by artists of the Renaissance as an aid to oil painting, was the forerunner of watercolor. Using this method sketches were shaded in with only one or two washes. The purpose of the monochromatic approach was to create a variety of tones and range of light without introducing the inherit problems of color. Art students will find this approach versatile; it can be adapted either as an aid to Realism or to lend the scene a romantic touch.
