An engaging Marathon in oil and acrylic painting
A two-day live painting Marathon
A familiar story in an entirely new language.
In this Marathon, we will create a contemporary interpretation of the Little Prince: a tiny planet, an endless expanse of stars, and that very Rose but instead of a classic illustration, we will try telling this story through cubism, geometry, and contemporary painting.
The main experiment in this painting combining figurative painting with abstract space. We will break the figure down into expressive planes of color, work with an angular silhouette and large shapes, and build the surrounding world from intersecting geometric elements.
ACRYLIC + OIL
We will combine two mediums and use the strengths of each.
With acrylics, we will establish the composition, large planes of color, geometry, and space.
With oils, we will continue working on the character: adding subtle shades, depth, light, volume, and painterly nuances.
We will pay special attention to the color red learning to create it by combining a variety of warm, cool, light, and deep tones instead of using a single pure shade.
The result will be more than an illustration of a famous story: a substantial work of art in its own right recognizable in its mood and symbols, yet entirely contemporary in its painterly language.
Two days. Two live Streams. Acrylic + oil. Cubism, color, geometry, and one story among a thousand stars.
By the end of the Marathon, you will have your own professional-looking painting in oils and acrylics
