Graphic Analysis: Cartooning For Stained Glass
A cartoon is a full-sized drawing that provides the visual information needed to create a stained glass window. Successful stained glass is a marriage between art and structure; between colour, line, imagery, and lead. Cartooning is the stage for visual decision-making and practical problem-solving. How do I make/paint/cut this in glass? Where do I put the lead?
Learn contemporary methods of translating images into stained glass via a process of graphic analysis that includes creating a traceline from a drawing or photo; distinguishing between local color, shadow & texture; and breaking the image into areas of different color/glass. Learn how glasspainting can successfully integrate bars & lead lines into the picture through the careful manipulation of tone/value.
Suitable for all levels. Experience an advantage but not essential. Please bring sketchbook & drawing materials. Max. 6 students. $425 fee includes tuition, materials, lunches and snacks.
Trace & Texture: Glasspainting With Style
Loosen up and/or expand your technique. Develop a unique glasspainting voice through working with a slow-drying medium that allows for an endless variety of mark-making and textural effects. Learn how to mix, thin, and apply lead-free paints with propylene glycol, an inexpensive, non-toxic, glasspainting medium.
Discover techniques that allow for a lively, expressive traceline and how to control/modifiy transparency without losing the sparkle of the glass. Print glasspaints and silver stain with lace, plastic, rubber stamps etc. and create faux textures such as stone, wood, fur and fabric.
Suitable for all levels. Please bring sketch book, drawing materials and glasspainting brushes.
Max. 6 students. $425 fee includes tuition, materials, lunches and snacks.
Stained Glass Portraits
Review techniques learned in previous workshops with Debora Coombs and expand your skills to include portraits in stained glass.
In this 3-day workshop students will cartoon and paint an original portrait/s working from photos taken at the beginning of class. Students will trace and shade (matte) portraits using traditional and non-traditional tools to find individual ways of interpreting their cartoon. This workshop does not cover painting techniques for restoration or replication (see below).
Skill in portraiture is not required, just basic drawing ability and a willingness to visit new artistic territory.
For returning students. Please bring sketch book, drawing materials and glasspainting brushes.
Max. 6 students. $425 fee includes tuition, materials, lunches and snacks.
