One Stroke Painting – Beginner workshop in Bangalore
Bloom & Grow is hosting a session on One Stroke Technique on Sunday, 14th March. One Stroke Painting is a double loading technique that consists of loading a brush with two separate colours. Donna Dewberry, the creator of the stroke claims that with her technique you are able to achieve the shading and highlighting in one stroke.
The brushes were double and triple loaded, to produce the highlight, body colour and shadow, of the petal, leaf or element, painted wet-on-wet and with a single stroke of the brush. This quick method of painting can be used for commercial reasons to speedily decorate the furniture, pottery, boxes and trays ready for sale. So, although the brush carried one, two, three or more colours, it would have taken only one stroke of the brush to produce the more complicated shading, giving depth and beauty to the design.
In this workshop conducted by Rinkal Patel you will be learning the basics of loading the brush, creating the basic strokes, the formation of a flower and a composition using these basic strokes.
Day & Date: Sunday, 29th March 2020
Timings: 1:30 pm to 5:30 pm
Fees: Rs 1250 per person (includes all material)
