During this workshop, Hadas Tal will discuss color theory, color temperature & value with direct demos & hands on discussion. She will talk about scale, composition, while interpreting & constructing an image from a photo reference of your choice that will result in an image that marries realism & abstraction. She will go into detail with mark making, premixing your colors, shape, value, & scale & taking your work to the next level.
Open to all levels. Acrylic painters welcome!
You will watch a short slideshow of her work and a number of important contemporary painters who have made big contributions in the Art World.
Learn how to paint beyond the photo reference with Hadas!

Materials:
- A pre primed birch wood panel or canvas of your choice
- Size is up to you, I recommend going a bit larger than the typical demo size
- Decide if you wish to work on a square or rectangle format. If for example, you have a rectangle sized photo reference, use a rectangle board that is double or triple the size.
i.e. if your photo reference, is 8 x 10, use a 16 x 20 size panel. If it is 10 x 10 use a 20 x 20 inch panel.
These are good sizes:
16 x 16
18 x 12
12 x 16
18 x 18
Make sure it is primed, dry & ready to paint.
Use any Acrylic primer or Oil Ground Primer.
Or buy a pre primed panel from the Art Store.
- Grey Matters disposable palette
- Oil Paint, choose from either: Gamblin, Utrecht, WIndsor & Newton, or Sennelier
Old Holland and Williamsburg brands are very good but very pricey.
If you are new to oil painting, save your money for the student grade.
Blick oil paint is good too.

Bring in a 2-inch house painting brush for oils - you can buy cheaply at the hardware store.
Bring in a Big Roll of Paper Towels (the super absorbent kind such as VIVA or a pile of cloth rags)
Bring in a Sealed Container to store your Solvents – such as a glass container with a lid or used coffee can with a lid. They are also available in the art stores.
- Solvents: Oder less Mineral Spirits, Do not bring in pure Turpentine - it is very toxic & not allowed in the classroom.
