Painting workshop: introduction to grisaille in acrylic

Painting workshop: grisaille in acrylic This workshop proposes discovering the technique of grisaille, a fascinating pictorial approach that plays with shadows, lights, and contrasts to give volume and depth to an image. Used for centuries in the history of painting, notably to create sculptural effects, trompe-l'œil, and monochromatic underlayers, grisaille makes it possible to build an image in shades of gray before gradually bringing it to life through color. After a short introduction to the history of this technique, you will discover how to transition from black to white, model volumes, and make shapes emerge through nuances and contrasts. Through practical exercises accessible to beginners, you will learn to work with values and build an image step by step. The workshop will continue with the application of colored glazes: thin, transparent layers that transform the grays, enrich the tones, and reveal the image without masking the light work done beforehand. An invitation to explore painting differently, taking the time to observe the light, understand values, and experiment with the dialogue between monochrome and color. An accessible and timeless technique that allows a better understanding of the construction of an image while developing one's gaze and pictorial sensitivity. For whom? Open to everyone, with no prerequisites. Matériel Tout creation materials are provided on site, you have nothing to bring. We advise bringing a folder to take your creations back with you
