Description

How did Vermeer of Delft create such marvelous effects in his masterpiece The Girl with a Pearl Earring? In this course, I guide the student through the entire process of recreating a copy of The Girl With a Pearl Earring using historical techniques as well as scientific studies published by scientists. In this course, students will start by learning how to create a Linen canvas support and the proper use of historical pigments used by Vermeer. Artists from Vermeer's time used a complex build-up of layers known today as indirect painting. This system of layers usually began with a monochromatic stage and the subsequent application of semi-opaque or transparent layers of colors to create a rich sense of atmosphere and depth in the finished painting.

Students can expect to learn the following skills in this course.

How to prepare a suitable ground for your painting.

How to transfer an underdrawing to the canvas.

Monochromatic painting using two or three colors.

Subtle modeling of form and flesh tints.

The use of warm and cool color transitions to create the illusion of form.

How to glaze using underpainting and transparent colors.

The proper use of fat over lean practice in oil painting.
