Supported through funding from private donors, the Critically Acclaimed Artist Program (CAP) is designed to attract high calibre national and international practicing artists to Sunbury Shores as instructors.
Sunbury Shores is dedicated to exposing practising artists and arts enthusiasts to the teachings and works of acclaimed Canadian and international contemporary artists in order to support the development of the arts in New Brunswick and plant new creative seeds in our communities.
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
A sample of topics that will be discussed include the expanded prismatic colour wheel and how to ‘hold’ a colour while it’s lightened or darkened how to ‘file’ colours under umbrella hues how to juggle the 4 colour “balls” (hue, value, temperature and chroma) without dropping one while altering another and how to successfully reduce or heighten chroma without getting “mud”. We’ll also look at a variety of palettes, including the simplest to more complex flesh palettes. This workshop will help you mix the colours you’re aiming for more swiftly, achieve more dynamic and subtle colour in your work, get more out of the paint colours you already have – and will help you make smart choices on the next that you buy.
ARTIST BIOGRAPHY
Maggie Rose is a Canadian artist currently living in New York while teaching at the New York Academy of Art. After graduating cum laude from the Academy in 2001, Maggie continued her training at the Michael Aviano Atelier and studied drawing with Michael Grimaldi. She now paints full time and is passionate about teaching and passing on the training she feels blessed to have received. Maggie’s work is primarily figurative. She prefers to work from life and often sculpts small figurines when working on subjects that require photo reference. Her primary focus is the continued exploration of the human body, of the color and translucency of flesh, and in objects which we identify with the body such as clothing and dressmaker forms.
