In this delightful one-day workshop, we will be arranging and painting koi from photographs (provided) resulting in unique and creative compositions. Taking advantage of near birds-eye views, mixing and matching fish will give students a chance to embrace their own compositional styles, while learning about “flow” in art, and how to enhance or create it. Other topics valuable to oil painting, such as color, drawing, value, texture, and depicting surfaces will be demonstrated as well.
While working from photos provides a secure reference for the artist, there will also be a live component in the form of live goldfish. Students will be able to admire and study the small carp’s movements, further gaining an understanding of the movement of bodies through water, which will become more instructive as time goes on during the class and after.
