Stage Peinture à l’ocre

Painting with ochre and pigment means making your own colours by mixing them with binders and diluents.

Workshop open to adults and teenagers aged 14 and over, of all levels.

Look at, touch and get to know this material that is ochre, somewhere between earth, sand and pigment. Observe it as it is found in nature, from stone to powder.

Handle and experiment with ochres on different supports (papers, card, wood, canvas, etc.). Discover its expressive power when combined with marble powder and pigments.

Build space through the mark, which becomes colour, material and surface.

Programme:

• Discovery and introduction to the material offered.
• Handling: ochre, from "natural" stone to refined painting powder.
• Experimenting with different water-based techniques: gouache, egg tempera, fromage blanc paint, wallpaper-paste paint, acrylic paint.
• Experimenting on different supports: choosing the nature of the support, its size and its preparation…

Following these various experiments and the creation, for each participant, of their own palette and sample of materials, there will be time for pictorial compositions on a chosen support.

Create space through the combination of materials, drips, granularity, rubbing, collage, glossy and matte finishes…
