TRANSCRIBING ITALIAN MASTERS
WITH LUCY MacGILLIS
July 9-13, 2020
10 a.m.-4 p.m. US east coast time
7 a.m.-1 p.m. US west coast time
4 p.m.-10 p.m. Italy time
Lucy will be live, and meet with participants, at the beginning, middle and end of each day of the workshop.
In this five-day ONLINE course, painters will look closely at 500 year old Italian masterpieces, investigating what makes them so powerful. Using transcription, we will draw from these paintings each morning, not copying, but searching for the brilliant uses of rhythm, duality and repetition within the geometry of each. From Piero della Francesca to Tintoretto, Raffaello and concluding with Florentine master Pontormo, we will explore a specific painting on paper and in a discussion (using Zoom.) In the afternoons, participants will create a painting sketch to better grasp the use of color in that day's masterpiece.
Each participant will receive a kit in the mail, prior to the course, containing the prints of the five paintings we will transcribe as well as paper measured in proportion to the works. There will also be hand primed paper provided for afternoon painting studies.
Limited to 12 participants.
