Instructor: Barbara Cederberg Class Location: Through a cooperative artist relationship the course will be held at the following studio:
Spillane Studio of Fine Arts Biography Barbara's painting career demonstrates a progressive fascination with the natural, and super-natural world. She attempts to create a window into the almost seen, but not quite seen world of fairies and fantasy art.A love of nature and the painting of horses and flowers in her youth led her to pursue an art and drama education while attendng Cawthra Park SS, Graphic Arts at a downtown college, and studies involving Art History, Egyptology, and Medieval History at the University of Toronto. There must have been method to her madness, as her background fostered the romantic passion she currently still pursues in creating dramatic, slightly historic, fantasy figures set in rich backgrounds, looking out through the layers of time. Barbara believes that painting is a journey and passing on something that is a passion could only result in a great and mutually satisfying learning experience.
Painting With Acrylics - Fantasy NatureCourse DescriptionThis course offers instruction in acrylic painting and delves into the world of fantasy art. Acrylics are water-based paint - however this is not a course in watercolours.Acrylics have so improved over the years, and Barbara is an advocate of their abilities over their grand-daddy - oil. Some believe that an acrylic painting can compete with an oil painting in both depth of colour, texture and all kinds of mixed media uses. It is also great for impatient souls who cannot stand waiting for the paint to dry. This course is a journey into the painting of nature with a fantasy slant. Fantasy is not a limiting of subject matter, rather it is an opening of the imaginary in nature, including figures and aspects of the natural world only found in our dreams. Imaginary flowers, delightful children, faux stone and marble backgrounds, magical pools of water shimmering in the light, castles perched on a hill are all awaiting our brushes. An assortment of techniques will be explored in this course in order to establish the feel of the acrylics and the effects that can be achieved. Some work on mixing paint and a quick view of colour theory will get us off to a good start. The aim of the course will be to develop an idea into a concept, then a concept into a composition, and eventually a finished painting. The beginner or advanced student will find this subject matter a lifelong passion.
