ONLINE WORKSHOP. In transcribing we study from paintings, rather than simply copy them. Investigating what it is about masterpiece compositions that makes them timeless helps us push our own painting further. In this intensive five-week online course, we will explore the great art of Sicily. We will study the Roman mosaics of Piazza Armerina, into the renaissance with Antonello da Messina, and the Baroque masterpieces by Caravaggio, as well as modern Sicilian artists. We will transcribe from a selection of masterpieces and discuss our work each week. Prints of the paintings, and Fabriano drawing and painting paper will be mailed to participants prior to the class. Meetings will be held on Zoom and work will be shared on Padlet, the online platform.
