Carlo Russo London Workshop Registration
Location:
The Workshop will be conducted in the exquisite Chelsea Physic Gardens in London. The Chelsea Physic Gardens is a jewel in the heart of London, founded by the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries in 1673. Today the Gardens have 5000+ species of botanicals, including rare trees, flowers and herbs. In addition the Gardens for more than 300 years have collected seeds from the many varieties of plants, and are a member of the global seed exchange. Sir Harold Sloan rented the Gardens in perpetuity, and today the Gardens hosts visitors from all over the world.
Description:
This 8 day Master Workshop will consist of three days of museum visits and four days of floral painting. Floral Painting will focus on painting the floral still life in oils in a manner inspired by the French 19th Century painter, Henri Fantin-Latour. This method will involve painting florals in a fairly direct manner, which is somewhat painterly and also atmospheric. Many artists can attest that flowers can be a daunting subject and we will try to make sense of the the beautiful forms which have fascinated and frustrated artists for centuries. Since flowers and plants tend to move from day to day and even hour to hour the students will draw and paint directly on the canvas with the brush only. The focus will be on capturing the essentials of the blooms directly from life and finishing areas wet in to wet. There will be daily demonstration by the instructor, as well as ample help and critique as we explore the unique nature of flowers and plants in paint. The class will also include the amazing opportunity to view numerous Fantin-Latour paintings and other works in person at 3 London museums with the instructor over three days. During the visits the students will get a chance to view these works in closer details with instructor who will provide some background and technical insights into the paintings. The workshop will also include a tour of the famous Chelsea Gardens and in addition we will have a local florist as a guest instructor who will give the class a tutorial on the concepts of floral arranging.
