Colorful Cloud Ceilings:
2012 dates TBA | Instructor: Lynne Rutter
Cloudscapes can be painted as beautiful soaring ceilings on their own, or as the base for grand murals. A cloud ceiling mural can raise up the ceiling, enhance the architecture of the space, create the illusion of height, while bringing color and a sense of light to the room.
In this intensive workshop, learn techniques for painting decorative cloud ceilings that are artful, colorful, and surprisingly fast to produce. We'll explore various aspects of good design such as composing cloudscapes of different shapes and sizes to suit the proportions of the ceiling, and creating color palettes for tailoring the mural to the room and its decor.
Topics covered:
- Practice painting technique at full scale
- Basic compositional matters for rectangular and "tray" ceilings
- Creating palettes for different colors and "moods" of skies - allowing for more expressive and painterly murals.
- Matching colors of cloudscapes to work with the interior design of the room
- Advanced cloud composition: designing for domes, round,or oblong ceilings
- Designing clouds to use with figures or as part of more complicated ceiling murals
- Marouflage techniques for adding figures or birds into a ceiling or for installing a canvas mural in general.
Students will create three unique full-scale cloudscape panels.
